After form four, I went to Emmah High School for my A-levels.

After A-levels, I joined the Kenya Volleyball team which doubled up as my employment.

Here I worked for three years and decided to go to a beauty college to study as a salonist. It took me six months and after college I decided to start my own salon.

I am married with eight children, of which two are married. Some of my children are still in school, but have not decided what they want to be when after leaving school.

I like watching movies and exercising for my physical fitness.

My business deals with beautification. I have a salon where I do plaiting, weaving, braiding, perming, etc.; I also sell cosmetics to my clients and outsides as well.

These goods are important in that Mombasa is a tourist town and ladies mostly like keeping themselves beautiful at all times. Also ladies like adorning themselves.

I chose this kind of business because I am comfortable doing it and I also like dealing with beauty products in general.

I use my income in paying school fees and part for reinvesting in my business and for the upkeep of my family.

I will buy chemicals and artificial hairs ( weaves, Rastas).

I will buy chemicals and buy the Rastas and weaves.

This loan will help me improve my purchasing power and when I get it I will buy more than I usually do. I will add some items which are lacking in my salon.

I expect this to have an impact in my profits and I believe that my profits will grow by a good margin.
