I come from a family of 5, where am the 4th born. With three brothers and one sister, I learned from them how best to survive playing games :) I completed my high school 3 years ago, thereafter pursued a Diploma in banking and finance. My parents were not financially sound, so I had to find part time jobs to sustain myself most of the time, though they took care of my school fees, I took care of small daily needs. This taught me how to be accountable and manage what I have well.
I have always had a passion for styling hair and I must say, I am brilliant at it as you can see from the photos I have uploaded.
I worked as a hair dresser/designer, styling hair for working clients, my fellow students and clients from within my neighborhood. This gave me enough practice to consider taking on the beauty industry as my business. During my college years, I started purchasing hair dressing equipment and beauty products that I needed to run a hair salon and I attended to my clients from my boarding house room. Am still working on building my inventory of equipment for my salon .
I also took on tailoring classes to learn how to make my own clothing and designs. I bought a sewing machine which I use for practice. My dream is to own a beauty parlor, having a hair salon and also run tailoring business.
With the funds raised, I will buy some beauty products to sell in my Salon and replace worn out equipment to enable me to employees to work more effectively. The salon products for selling will be an additional source of income.
