I live in Berekum in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana. I am named Obeng Regina of House Number J/115 in the Berekum Municipality. I have five siblings and I am the third born of my parents. I had my Junior High School at At. Monica's R/C “A” and further at Berekum Presbyterian Senior High School (PRESEC). I have my own headdresser shop, also in Berekum Municipality.
I opened my own headdresser shop in the year 2012 in Berekum Municipality after pursuing my Senior High Certificate. My dream was to further my education at the university, but, unfortunately, the amount the university demanded was very huge. So my parents advice me to learn on how to make hair dressing, I was trained to become a perfect headdresser, because of financial problems we were facing in the first place.
So I just did what my mum wished me to do, and by the grace of God, I have five (5) apprentices who are learning from me what I learnt somewhere in Berekum. Every hairstyle has its price and the lower of the price costs $16 and where my shop is very well known, so it’s patronizing as well. I also sell hairs, including Brazilian hair, Obaasima hair and Super star in my shop.
If the things goes well for me, I will further my education, because education is my perfect dream.
Nowadays, every woman needs their hair to be beautiful, shiny, and bright, so they always buy hair to mix with their natural ones. In my community, people always hired a car to [drive to another place and] dress their hair. However, from the day my shop established till now, I haven’t seen any single person hiring a car to dress their hair. So that kicked my heart to establish the shop in my own community, because a car fare is not easy at all.
My business is booming as well, so I need to add hairs, a hair dryer, cream, and any other equipment to support my business. Even my shop needs to be renovated, but my amount can’t do all this and support my mother financially. That’s why I am pleading to Zidisha and lenders
To help expand my business
