Enugu, Dec. 24, 2018 (NAN) Hair-stylists in Enugu have expressed joy over business boom in the metropolis as customers are parting with between N 2,000 and N 5, 000 for a style.
Some of the stylists who spoke with a News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) correspondent on Monday, said women interested in wearing new hair-styles during the yuletide, engaged their services at any price.
Mrs Wilfred Ozor, a salon operator, explained that various events within the metropolis and surrounding communities during the festive period encouraged many women to go for the best hair-dos at whatever price.
Ozor added that she had been fixing artificial hair for many women, girls and braiding children’s hair for the past one week.
She explained that fixing a normal hair style like all back, half parting and centre parting went for N1,500 as against N800 before the season while other styles were between N1,800 and N2,000.
Mrs Agatha Ilobe, a hair braider, said that she had been busy braiding her customers’ hairs up till odd hours, noting that her clients would like their looks to improve in the spirit of the season.
Ilobe said that she was smiling to the bank because of the number of clients handled daily, adding that she was capable of paying her children’s school fees next term when they would resume.
She says that to braid `twisting or Bob-Marley’ style without combining colours of artificial hair goes for N3,000 while a combined style is between N3,500 and N5,000.
Another hair-stylist, Mr Uchenna Muoneke, said he had been fully engaged since the beginning of the Christmas celebration, working round the clock.
Muoneke added that he was also doing manicure and pedicure for his customers who asked for fixing and painting nails as well as shaving of eyelids.
He expressed satisfaction at the rise in the volume of his business, praying God to ensure the high patronage continued even after the yuletide.
“I am so happy for the number of patronage I have gotten since last two weeks, I have made a huge profit so far.
“I pray God will continue to bless me with the kind of business I am getting during this Christmas season. (NAN)
