MAINSTREAM

Franchisee of Smooth

Neil & Brigette De La Harpe

Neil brings the creativity, Brigette brings the strategy, and together they’re the duo powering WAXIT Mainstream. After more than two decades as a “Swiss Army knife” creative, Neil swapped pixels for precision strips, putting his eye for detail into a new kind of design: smooth confidence.

Brigette, a long-time WAXIT fan and seasoned in all things ops management, has always believed in the brand’s magic. She was the first to nudge Neil into exploring the idea, and the rest is history. While Neil is the day-to-day face of the business, Brigette still features as the number one cheerleader, client-turned-owner, and co-captain of the ship.

For both of them, WAXIT is a place where confidence is crafted, conversations are warm, and clients leave feeling like the best version of themselves.

When they’re not in the studio, you’ll find them out in nature: walking their dog, Riley, through Tokai forest, exploring Cape Town’s beaches, or sneaking in a Formula 1 race on the couch with both of their cats (Neil never misses a chance to back Red Bull).

Favourite Treatment: Neil’s still working up to his first wax (watch this space, he’s promised to film it). 

Brigette swears by the full leg wax = smooth legs, smooth day.

Favourite Retail Product: Anything with that signature WAXIT scent. One whiff and they’re instantly reminded why they fell in love with the brand in the first place.
