Manasa’s philosophy has struck a chord with many and is centred around self-care, she says, “Women are often made to feel bad about wanting to take better care of themselves and their body, and I find that very disheartening. Investing in one self and wanting to feel more confident is not vanity, it is self care. At Manasa Makeover our services are focused entirely on what our clients want, and is a safe bubble for brides to relax and rejuvenate before their big day.”.
