The founder

Shelsey Johane

I founded La Touche de Shelhair in 2016 on a simple conviction: a woman does not need to be transformed, she needs to be revealed. Every face has its own light, every complexion its right tone, every occasion its intensity. My work is to find that point of balance.

From everyday natural makeup to an evening smokey eye, from an undetectable frontal to restructuring tired hair, I hold myself to one standard: a clean, lasting result that stays true to who you are.

The house has since become a school as well. Passing on this craft — the gesture, the colour theory, the discipline — allows other women to make a living from it in turn. It is now the part of my work I am proudest of.

— Shelsey Johane, founder

Why the house

Six reasons to trust us with your face

Your home, not a salon

You do not travel. We set up a professional workstation in your home.

One complexion, one tone

Colour theory is our starting point. No foundation is ever chosen at random.

Long-lasting wear

Professional mattifying bases and setting sprays: the morning result holds until the evening.

Beauty and hair together

Makeup, hair, wigs, lashes and brows: a single point of contact for everything.

Published prices

The price list is public. Travel within Douala is already included.

A recognised school

We do not only practise the craft, we pass it on, with a professional kit to match.

available anywhere

The studio at work

Frequently asked

Good to know

Do you have a salon?

No. The house works exclusively at your home: we come to you with all the professional equipment.

Is travel charged?

Within the city of Douala, travel is already included in the published prices. For travel outside the city or the country, transport and accommodation are covered by the client.

What are your hours?

We are reachable and working from 8am to 6.30pm.

How far in advance should I book?

The earlier you book, the more likely your preferred slot is free — especially for weddings and shoots. Write to us and we will confirm availability for your date.

Do you make up the bridal party?

Yes. Bridesmaids, mothers, witnesses: we make up the bridal party as well. Tell us how many people when you book, so that we can set aside the time.

Do you offer lash refills?

Yes. After the initial set, a refill is recommended roughly every three weeks to keep the lash line full.

Can training be paid in instalments?

No. Payment is made in full on enrolment. Each programme does, however, exist with or without the kit, which allows the budget to be adjusted.

Do you ship wigs abroad?

Yes, to every country. Shipping costs are quoted by destination.
