PANSA bekroonde skrywer, akteur, regisseur en vervaardiger Jannes Erasmus het sy studies in Pretoria voltooi (2013).

Follicle inspireer gewone mense om ‘n buitengewone uitkyk op jouself en die lewe te hê. Ek is trots om ‘n ambassadeur te wees van ‘n groep mense wat nie bang is om te vlieg nie.

Ek verteenwoordig met graagte Follicle se span, want hulle voorbeeld vir my is goeie diens in of buite die haarsalon, met mense wat nie net weet wat hulle doen nie, maar love wat hulle doen.

Hulle passie vir hare, maar ook vir die lewe is aansteeklik. En ek hoop my werk/lewe spreek dit ook. Aangesien ons in die publiek se oog is wil ek graag ’n verlenging van hulle wees wat mense kan wys hoe maklik dit is, om mooi en versorgd te lyk en goed te voel oor jou self, met die regte span om jou. Jou hare is tog deel van jou en jy wil na dit om sien in die beste manier wat jy kan.

In this modern day & age, male grooming has most definitely become a “norm” amongst men of all ages & walks of life.

For me, personally it has always been a very important part of my life. I am quite the diverse individual.

By day, I am an auditor & by night I am a media personality with a lifestyle blog. So at the end of the day, I have very limited time to look after my own grooming needs. That’s why I go to Follicle Hair Atelier, they take male grooming just as seriously as I do.

They have the best team to get me & my beard red carpet ready & looking good for nights out at fashion week or the opening nights of theatre productions or the latest films, using only the best products.

Positief, energiek, kreatief. Die drie woorde wat Riaan Grobler die beste beskryf. Sy drome maak hom bang want hy glo as jou drome jou nie bang maak nie dan droom jy nie groot genoeg nie. Sy persoonlike leuse is: “Om nie te waag nie, is om die onberekenbare skade te ly om nooit te weet wat kon gewees het nie”.
