At Hair By Caryn Timms, we believe that beauty is an art — and that every woman deserves to feel confident, beautiful and uniquely herself.
Our passion has been enhancing women’s natural beauty, creating beautiful hair and adding that little bit of extra sparkle.
Inspired by Genesis 1:27:

We believe that beauty begins with embracing what makes you uniquely you. Our boutique salon in Pietermaritzburg is dedicated to creating beautiful, natural-looking transformations through professional expertise, quality products and genuine care.
From beautiful colour and effortless styling to healthy hair treatments and personalised transformations, we take the time to understand your hair, your lifestyle and the look you want to achieve.
Where experience meets genuine personal connection.
Today, the HBCT team welcomes clients from Pietermaritzburg, Hilton and the surrounding Midlands, offering professional colour, balayage, extensions, treatments and styling in a relaxed and personal environment.
Because it’s not just about gorgeous hair — it’s about how GORGEOUS you feel when you leave.
