For more than two decades, Hannon Bothma has wielded his transformative powers on the hit TV show, “Glam Guru.”

With 23 seasons under his belt, Bothma, who is a co-owner of the Hannon beauty brand, has become synonymous with beauty makeovers that touch lives and inspire viewers across South Africa.

The premise of “Glam Guru” is simple yet powerful: Through expert hairstyling, flawless make-up and wardrobe revamps, Bothma helps participants discover their most beautiful selves.

His knack for creating dramatic transformations has earned him the reputation of a super-stylist and miracle worker in the industry.

“When someone looks in the mirror and sees the most beautiful version of themselves, it gives hope and inspiration for the future,” he explained in a statement.

“To help participants move away from the look they have held on to for so long, I make radical changes by altering their hairstyle, make-up and clothes.”

He added: “Even their own families are speechless and can’t believe it’s the same person. So, if you want to look and feel your best, Glam Guru is there for inspiration and you can now be one of the fortunate ones to land in my transformation chair.”

If you’ve dreamt of featuring on the hit local show and developing a renewed sense of self-confidence, now’s your chance.
