The Duchess of Mane

Sandy Francis

I have a deep, unwavering commitment to my artistry. After 28 years in the industry, I truly understand my purpose, and that is to make a difference. My vision is to bring education to South Africa, but also to elevate the standard of couture styling in our country and across Africa.

My journey with hair art began in Russia in 2015, where I met my first trainer, teacher, and mentor, Georgiy Kot. Later in 2016, I trained under my second mentor, Victoria Schimbator. These were the most impactful years of my life and career.

They changed the trajectory of my career and my journey with hair art. I have trained all over the world, and will continue to do so, to gain the knowledge that allows me to give back and achieve excellence.
