'I'm so emotional' — Lady Du excited to put her somatology qualifications to good use

Lady Du is in her feels as her dream to open a beauty business is moving at lightning speed.

Taking to Instagram recently she shared snaps of her multiple certificates in somatology before revealing that she was glad to be putting her skills to good use because pursuing music meant she had to put her passion for all things beauty on the back burner. 

“Today is such a big day for me, so let me motivate you a bit, these are all my certificates in the somatology (beauty) and business industry, internationally recognised by city and guilds. Before I got hijacked by music I completed my studies, which is the reason for opening my salon. Today I have an international company coming to evaluate it for franchising. I specifically want it in the hood for township development. I am sooo emotional because through my talent I was able to make my dream come true,” she captioned her post.

She took to her Instagram timeline in December 2022 and said opening WAWA LaBeauty had always been her dream. 

“I don’t think you guys know all the things I studied, beauty being one of them. After school I studied beauty, travelled the world working on a cruise ship [and] my biggest dream was to own a salon. Music captured me, I focused on it, but now that I can do both, I took my savings, bought a house in the hood so I don’t have to pay rent. I wanted to bring the Sandton experience back to the hood.

“I am fully qualified in this, as you can see my diplomas in all departments, some diplomas are for something else! But all qualifications are there. Here’s to franchising in the hood, empowering the community [and] taking the money back to ekasi. My legacy starts now,” she wrote a the time of announcing her business.
