About Me

I am olawale jackson the founder and ceo of lekkiview properties. I also own a unisex saloon where both male and female including children comes for their hair services. My heart and soul has gone into the making of this space and I seek to always maintain that integrity with every step I make. I want to tell you a little about me and my path to opening my own salon and where I am wanting to take it. Hang in there, it's kinda long.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have become a hairdresser. Sure, in high school I would cut and color my own hair all kinds of ways and crazy colors, but it just never crossed my mind

My Business

I earn 50000 naira weekly. If feels a long time ago now but in 1989 I had to decide to get my new salon business ready to launch to the public.

I had a few things to chew over.

The first thing was my new salon premises.

I had almost no cash in those days to spare, had also just had a new baby, just bought a new house and now was thinking about my first shop.

Cash was very, very tight to say the least!

How would it look?

What would my clients think?

Would it attract clients?

Why would they want to come in?

This first steps was all very external of course and surface but I also knew in the salon business it was the fashion world and it had to look very cool or it just wouldn’t be right from the clients mind.

Also in the village I was opening my first salon there were another seven salons. Not a lot I know but I had to remember that those salons had been there for over 30 years so in a village of just 3,000 population, competition per head would be fierce.

I had to break the loyalties of the clients to the other salons. Do-able but all of this depended on steps I would take with my business and it all started with the image from the outside.
