In todays behind the brand episode we sit down and chat with Shantelle Booysen, the founder of Elim, a luxury medical manicure and pedicure range. Listen in to find out how a holiday to Thailand and a personal need for a solution to dry, cracked heels lead to the start of Elim. From tiny steps to great strides, Shantelle’s passion and enthusiasm for the industry has been clear to see throughout her journey.
On a more personal note, we discovered the Elim MediHeel range last year through RE:New beauty here in the uk. After trialing the products between lockdowns at Ever Pretty Beauty Studio, we made the easy decision to switch out our current range for the incredible Elim products. The results we achieved with the Elim products were far better and longer lasting. We are now able to treat thick, hard calluses with ease and the mediheel peel eliminated the need for exhaustive wrasping. We are proud to announce that we are now Elim Mentors, if you have any questions regarding Elim and are thinking of training, please drop us a dm on Instagram @thebeautyeditpodcast or @everprettybeautystudio
