About Hope

Creative first, careful always.

Hope started in floristry in 2019, straight after matric, with a year of training at Foxglove Studio in Canal Walk. She went on to qualify as a nail technician at Capri Academy & Clinic in Brackenfell in 2022, and has since worked in salons in Brackenfell and Graaff-Reinet.

Whether it is a full set of nails, a bridal bouquet or a mural, she is known for being punctual, patient and genuinely invested in making people feel good about what they leave with. She is currently working towards becoming a fully qualified florist.

Hope Hunter Studio brings those crafts together under one name: nails, florals, art and macramé under her Loop de Loop label.
