Our Story
SHAPING AND ENRICHING LIVES.
At Palesa, we enrich our own lives by shaping and enriching the lives of others. We shape the lives of our customers, by helping them look and feel good. This boosts their confidence and power, so they can bring their absolute best to their worlds, both personally and professionally. We enrich the lives of budding entrepreneurs across South Africa by enabling them to own and manage a complete medical aesthetic practice-in-a-box. This helps them create a brighter future for themselves and their families and establish a legacy, while shaping the lives of women in their communities.
What's in our name?
Palesa means "flower" because we believe women are like flowers. Each completely different from the other, yet each created perfectly beautiful in her own way. Short or tall, skinny or curvy, we never compare but rather celebrate the unique beauty of every woman that crosses our path.
Vision
To leverage our franchise opportunities to enrich lives and bring world-class bodyshaping and skincare to women everywhere in South Africa.
Values
At Palesa we live, work and play by these values, as we know the way you do things and the way you make people feel are way more important than what you do.
Inquisitiveness
We remain ever-curious, eager to learn and eager to better ourselves in every possible way, so we can create better experiences at all touchpoints of our business.
Kindness
On a moment-to-moment basis, we aim to live, breathe and work by the eternal words of Bob Kerry: “Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly and most underrated agent of human change”.
Gratefulness
Every day, we show up to do our duty with joy and gratitude, grateful for the opportunity to create a better future for ourselves and help enrich and shape the lives of others.
Greatness
Without compromise, we strive for excellence in every little thing we do, as all these little things add up and make a big difference for all those we serve.
Uprightness
At all times, in all aspects of our business, we aim to say what is right, to do what is right, and to develop a deep pride for always saying and doing what is right.
