My Business
my business is located in dakar house which is located in heart of gilgil town. it is basically specialized in hairdressing and beauty therapy. i open this business after i realized there was great demand for these services. this due to the great number of civil servants in this town and the number is still swelling with the introduction of county governments. my customers prefer my business because i am cheaper than others i usually travel to the city of Nairobi to collect my stock of hair chemicals which i even sell to the lest of the saloons located around this makes me to have better profit margins which is able to sustain me and my daughter who is currently in top class. of late i have also introduced M-pesa outlet within the premises which is also doing well.my dream is to do even better with zidisha platform
