About
Blow Up Designs

A boutique salon for hair and nails, built around careful work, good company and an unhurried chair.

The Studio

A small studio with
room for detail

Blow Up Designs began with a simple idea — that a beauty appointment should feel like a considered moment in the week, not another errand to rush through.

From 15 Hope Street in the Cape Town city bowl, we bring together hair artistry and nail artistry under one roof, with appointments that are always your own.

Every booking is held online with live availability, so you can plan your visit around your day — and your specialist is ready for you when you arrive.

The Studio

Nail artistry, all your care

Every appointment is held by the same careful hands — book with Tarah and you're booked with the person behind the craft.
