About Me

I had always had a passion for hair and beauty. Consequently, I started a small salon in the year 2010 after completing a hairdressing course. Having seen the demand for hairdressing and beauty services due to presence of a textile EPZ company in Mazeras that boosts of ninety percent female employees. I have also started a small beauty shop. My services include manicure, pedicure, facial, plaiting, chemical, hair relaxing. In my beauty shop we also sell human hair, hair extensions, hair braids and chemical hair relaxers which are usually used in the salon. I also sell jewellery. Due to high demand on beauty products I would like to expand my business by purchasing modern equipment and add stock that is why I need a loan from Zidisha.

    I have talked to Mary today at 2.14pm . She says she is very apologetic on her non-repayment. She says the tragedies in her extended family almost brought her hair & beauty business to an abrupt halt.

    She has now made good recovery & promises to send in a considerable amount mid this week to save for lost time.

    I'm trusting on her ability to honour her obligations.

    Thank you for extending patience to her situation.

    VM Shehi.

    I phoned Mary today 1.26pm . She did not pick my call. I hope she sends the repayment by today. Her repayments are not as steady as I expected when inviting her.
