Ivy is a beautician. She runs her own business and is highly successful. Year in, year out, she makes the rich ‘ladies’ in Johannesburg look and feel great. She started her career when it was illegal for black women in South Africa to work as beauticians for this sector of society. For years she has had a solid and regular client base. She knows and shares with them the most intimate details of their lives. She laughs with them and cries with them. She gossips with them, cares about them, and gives them sound advice. She even puts them into their car and starts the engine so that their manicured nails don’t get scuffed. To her clients, she is the best therapist around: rejuvenating both body and spirit.
