Our Story

About Pieter @ Unik

More than a salon — a sanctuary on the Garden Route where artistry, individuality, and exceptional care come together.

The Beginning

A Vision Born
From Passion

Pieter @ Unik was founded by Pieter Höltz, a master stylist with over 15 years of experience in the hair industry. Pieter began his career training with Carlton Hair International — one of South Africa's most renowned and prestigious salon groups, famed for their celebrity clientele, fashion shoot work, and world-class academy that has produced some of the country's finest stylists.

During his time at Carlton Hair, Pieter honed his skills under the guidance of industry leaders, mastering everything from precision cutting and advanced colouring techniques to editorial and bridal styling. He trained alongside some of South Africa's top creative talent and developed a deep understanding of international trends and techniques that he now brings to every client at Pieter @ Unik.

The name “Unik” reflects the belief that everyone is unique — with their own signature look, personal style, and way of expressing themselves. Our mission is to help you discover and amplify your individual beauty.

Now based in the beautiful Great Brak River on the Garden Route, Pieter brings that same world-class expertise to the Western Cape coast. At Pieter @ Unik, you'll experience the personalised consultations, commitment to quality, and confidence-boosting results that come from over a decade and a half of dedicated craftsmanship.
