Mlandvo Dlongolo, the CEO of Elite Haircuts, leads a team dedicated to bringing top-tier grooming services to the people of Matsapha, Kwaluseni, and beyond. Elite Haircuts is not just a barbershop; it is a hub where confidence is restored with every haircut and facial treatment. Their mission is clear—provide detailed and high-quality grooming services, while offering a variety of personalized treatments that elevate both your appearance and self-esteem.
For Mlandvo, the success of Elite Haircuts is deeply rooted in his faith and passion. He believes that God is the guiding force behind the business, and it was after he gave his life to Christ that the vision of Elite Haircuts took shape.
At Elite Haircuts, it’s not just about cutting hair, it’s about creating a full transformation. One of the standout features of the barbershop is the Elite VIP experience, a service that combines both a detailed haircut and a rejuvenating facial. It’s designed for clients who want more than just a fresh look but to leave feeling revitalized from head to toe.
The Elite VIP package takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, customized based on one’s hair and skin condition. In addition to a sharp, clean haircut, clients receive a facial treatment that includes exfoliation, blackhead removal, dermaplaning (removing dead layer of the skin), moisturizing, and toning, followed by a soothing head and shoulder massage. This holistic service ensures that clients leave looking and feeling their absolute best.
Mlandvo’s approach to leadership is rooted in humility and continuous growth. He’s always encouraging his team to keep learning and improving. “Never stop learning,” he says. “Once you stop, you stop growing.”
Even though clients often praise Elite Haircuts for being the best in the country, Mlandvo ensures that his team stays grounded and focused. “Pride comes before a fall,” he reminds them. No matter how much praise they receive, they must remain humble and dedicated to the craft.
Rather than focusing solely on monetary gains, Mlandvo emphasizes the importance of perfecting the craft first. “The money will follow when you focus on providing quality work,” he says. This principle has made Elite Haircuts a trusted name in the region. As an entrepreneur, Mlandvo enjoys the freedom that comes with running his own business.
Unlike traditional jobs where employees are limited to a fixed salary and working hours, owning Elite Haircutsgives him the flexibility to work late nights or take on more clients as needed. The more effort he puts in, the more he reaps the rewards, and that’s not just financially. It also helps the business grow, as the VIP services alone are priced at E500, offering both a steady income and growth for the company.
At Elite Haircuts, they believe in making quality grooming accessible to everyone. To ensure everyone can enjoy their exceptional services, they offer several special promotions. For students, there’s a Student Special Fade Service for just E70 (normally priced at E100), available Monday through Wednesday.
They also offer birthday specials with discounts and a loyalty program that rewards clients with 50% off or even free haircuts after accumulating points. These promotions help create a strong sense of community among clients, who appreciate the high-quality service and personal attention they receive at Elite Haircuts.
Looking ahead, Mlandvo has big plans for Elite Haircuts. His vision goes beyond just expanding the business in Matsapha; he aims to bring Elite Haircuts to towns and complexes across the country, making high-quality grooming services more accessible to all. There are also plans to establish a barber academy, where aspiring barbers can refine their skills, as well as host barber expos to inspire and empower other local barbers.
“Growth is in God’s hands,” Mlandvo shares. “Our job is to stay consistent, provide great service, and keep innovating.”
As demand for Elite Haircuts continues to grow, the team remains focused on delivering the exceptional grooming experience that has earned them the trust of their loyal clients.
If you haven’t had the Elite Haircuts experience yet, it’s time to change that. Clients often say that after visiting Elite Haircuts, it’s hard to go back to their old barbers. The level of detail and care that Mlandvo and his team provide is unmatched. Once you’ve experienced it, you’ll understand why Elite Haircuts is quickly becoming the go-to destination for anyone who wants more than just a haircut but a total grooming experience.
