Blowdrier for my barber shop

Philip    Aug 31, 2015

Dear lenders,

Today, I tried calling Violet to discuss with her the issue but she was not answering . Will keep on trying and then let you know the out come

Violet    Jul 28, 2015

I will buy a medium and a larger wahl blowdryer machine and will immediately add my savings and buy a mirror to add to my barbershop.Thank you so much dear lenders for changing my life and i am so grateful.

Thank you Dayton,Family Mueller,tiojoca,Katrine,YoUSA11,wally and nani for the money you lent me,i am glad that the end of last week i managed to get a businesslady who had scored a big tender in a school and wanted to subcontract someone to shave almost 200 young ladies hair (a common practise in Kenyan high schools).I was lucky to be around the corner from the offices and she and i got a deal together and i have just finished shaving and gotten the 3285kshs that i paid up for my loan balance.Actually i got more like 3000kshs and added some from my food shop and managed to pay.I thank everyone for the loan and i'm looking forward to applying for my next loan. My barber business is improved and i now hire a young man to shave kids while i am looking forward to buying a blowdry machine for womens hair.

Dear lenders kindly bear with me as business shifts into low gear.Many of my clients are in the season of harvesting and having beans in their houses for food so very few are buying foodstuff from the shops,infact my morning buns hardly sell at all,so i am reducing my installment amount for about a month.

I hope my lenders remember that you have helped me and my business greatly.I managed to buy my son a toy he had wanted.Its a chinese mini laptop but its worth it because i want him to be aware of the information technology world.

Hi lenders,business is very tight although i am doing well.Sales are average but i hope i will be able to finish my loan soon.

Violet    Jun 15, 2015

Hi everyone.I expanded my food business after saving money from the barbershop business,it has enabled me to pump back that money into the shop again.

Hot and rainy days this week.My shop floods when it rains and the landlord keeps on telling me to fix it myself!!!!

Violet    May 30, 2015

Its been difficult dealing with men when i run the barbershop,the African man almost believes that a woman cannot shave them!!! I hope to change that attitude.

  Can't the African men shave themselves? I have never had anyone else shave me. Not that I do not think they could do it, but I can do it myself, thank you.
  Best of luck to you.

    Not everyone has electricity and those who have still carry on the habit of going to a barber.Our barbers are not college trained so most are just people off the streets who buy a machine and open up barber kiosks on every corner.But the hard time i meet mostly has to do with the egos of the regular rural African man,here most of them beat their wives regularly and have never really seen a woman shaving in a barbershop.At least my husband supports my work. Thank you for wishing me luck,i need it.

Thank you dear lenders again for your time and money.Last week enabled me buy a chair for my 1 year old baby boy who is running around my farm and in my shop throwing things here and there,mixing salt with sugar etc. My profits enabled me to get him this gift and i hope to be able to buy him a bicycle too.

Violet    May 8, 2015

Made a payment that has not been reflected yet.Hope it will.

Violet    Apr 29, 2015

Made a large profit of about 45$ yesterday after i peeled a whole sack of potatoes and made fries for students at a school sports day.I even managed to buy my baby a new milk bottle and diaper pack and also make savings.

The rains have come down in torrents recent days and even caused the death of a number of people.I hope there are no more deaths.But business is fluctuating because many people have put their money into the planting season, buying and planting seed and fertilizer and paying for people to till their land.I bought seed types H518 and H519 which i am reselling and making a tidy profit.

Violet    Apr 23, 2015

The rains are here and i am preparing my piece of land to plant vegetables and some maize.

I have not yet partitioned my shop dear lenders but i finally got a photoman to take the photos of me shaving clients inside a portion of my shop.I plan to partition it within two or three weeks and buy a mirror.

Violet    Feb 25, 2015

Dear lenders i adjusted my installments because i have suffered some setback with the delay in rains causing some of my farm yields which i place in my shop to deteriorate in quality.I am actually seeking someones help in getting drip irrigation in my farm in the near future.It only rained recently for a day then stopped and the heat destroyed my tomatoes and half of the potato yield.However i may resume my regular installment after two to three weeks if i have recovered enough.Meanwhile i am stocking books in my grocery shop and they are being bought for the new term.Thank you for understanding.My barbershop is still in infancy but i hope to post my photos soon.I am juggling jobs trying my hand at shaving my clients too.
