The Sweet Service Award goes to Tease Hair & Beauty, and its owner Vida Croeser, for her generosity in sponsoring a hair cut and colour without charge, kindly organized by Marina Nestel. Vida has 30 years’ salon experience, but this is her first own salon, which also offers a beauty salon service. Tease has just opened in Green Point. The day after the colour treatment I was one of a number to attend the media launch of Tease. We were sent home with a goodie bag of sample products : Redken All Soft shampoo, Redken All Soft conditioner, The Colossal Volume Express mascara, Label.m Protein Spray, Label.m sunglasses and pouch by Jean-Pierre Braganza, a collection of Agadir and SuperPlex Haircare products, and a voucher for a cut and Redken Chemistry Treatment. TEASE salon is open seven days a week.

The Sweet Service Award goes to Kirsten Goss jewelers in the Silo District in the Waterfront, and its staff member Karen Schwarz. Karen arrived back in the store, after I had spent a few minutes there, my first visit there. She said ‘Dotti’ to me, and I first thought that I had misheard her, it being the name of one of my sisters. I must have looked at her in disbelief, and then she added our surname.
