It’s weekend and I decided to visit some hair extensions sellers in Nairobi. Lately I see an increase of visitors from Kenya to my website. In my mails I get more women from Kenya asking for support. I even have contact with a nice woman, born in Kenya, but who now lives all the way in the North of Europe who is selling hair.

 

Hair Extensions Sellers in Nairobi

So what’s going on in Kenya? What do the hair stores offer, how do they approach their clients, and is there indeed room enough for hair extensions sellers in Nairobi? Because there I want to start my journey of this weekend.

Who is selling hair in Nairobi?

My journey started with Google Search, “Hair extensions sellers in Nairobi” and I found a post from Laura Wanjiru. “Hair Products Stores Online in Kenya”.  She starts to tell about the needs of busy women in Kenya. They all like wigs and weaves, but lack the time to do shopping! The solution Laura tells is online shopping. It saves time and energy to look for online hair extensions sellers in Nairobi.

Get the all-in-one hair business package, complete with hair samples and launch your own hair store now

House of Weaves and wigs

Her first recommendation is House of Weaves and wigs, an online store (Facebook) plus own salon in Utalii street (near the Laico Regency Hotel). The Facebook page confuses me a bit. I see the last post is from April. Why is it this quiet? No customers any more or too many clients to find time to update the Facebook page. Laura was true. Women in Kenya have busy schedules. If you know House of Weaves and Wigs let me know in the comments below.

I will drop them a line and move further. The bad thing for stores on online shopping is visitors can change their mind within a second or two. So make sure you, if you are in business to share a sign of life. This can be a picture, a small comment, but anything is better than nothing. So hair extensions sellers in Nairobi, update your social media at least once a week, otherwise you lose great opportunities!

Unbeweavable hair Kenya

The second suggestion from Laura was Unbeweavable hair Kenya. The link to the Facebook page was invalid, so I used to google search. As I already planned to do so as from the beginning searching for hair extensions sellers in Kenya. The search page showed me lot of possibilities to visit Unbeweavable hair Kenya.

I wanted to see when the last post was, so I jump in the Instagram page. My Windows phone works with a Beta version of Instagram and the last weeks it is very difficult to use Instagram. I really regret this, because I love Instagram. You can see I did not post that many pictures myself recently, but please blame it on my Lumia phone.

Back to Unbeweavable hair on Instagram. Wow, I liked the pictures. Why? Because it was a mixture of photoshoots and selfies. Not to smooth but real. Especially the pictures from happy clients. Really, this is the only business where you can show so many happy people who all look gorgeous. These selfies of happy clients are a good way to gain confidence from new visitors. So if I was you, make your clients happy and ask for a selfie for your social media.

After all that social media, I wanted to visit the website, I know the last update on Instagram, nearly 12,000 followers, was done 16 hours ago. But on Instagram I only saw the link to Facebook. So, that’s what I did, I clicked on the link again et voila! A Facebook page opened and it worked this time.  This page was with a post of the 18th of august rather up to date. And with over 100,000 fans a place to be for many.

 

Now I saw where they are located, so pay attention! “We are located in Wood avenue court in Kilimani. Turn right at the Wood Avenue junction off Argwings Kodhek road if coming from yaya/town.Turn right again onto the small cabro road just before Sidian Bank. Then turn left into a light blue gate. We are on the 4th building in the compound on the first floor.”

Mission statement

Do you also always look for the about page, just to know more about the person behind the hair store. Here I found the link of the website too, so I visited Unbeweavable hair and a beautiful website opened. I check the … about is page and I could not believe my eyes. There in the middle of the page was the mission statement, they even highlighted it.

 

“Our mission is to bring the finest quality hair extensions that cater to your individual style at the most affordable prices.”

 

Isn’t it great because now you know what you can expect if you visit their social media or website or if you enter their store.

Tell me about Hair Extensions Sellers in Nairobi

Talking about their store, if you are from Kenya and you are in Nairobi, could you tell me more in the comments about  the Unbeweavable hair  store on  WOOD AVENUE COURT Wood Avenue, Kilimani. Or if you have ideas for a totally other kind of hair business.  In the meantime I look for more stores in Nairobi.

 

I love my job, and you?

I love my job, and you?

How often we are too busy to reach for happiness, and we forget to see the awesome things that happen right under our nose. It happened to me today, at the end of again a long, or should I say too long, week in the office, behind the phone and in front of the computer screen.

After dinner, on the couch with my, sometimes already big, sometime still little, son of eight years next to me busy building cities in Minecraft. I watched a documentary about the Yangtze river. A beautiful story about modern days China, with every now and then a peek into the past. Shanghai evolved in less then 30 years from a place where farmers were taking care of their cows, to a city that competes with New York. London or Hong Kong, at least with respect to the skyline, Suddenly I recall the talks and apps I had with Lydia this week and one of the reasons I love my job. Lydia is a very nice women from Juancheng in China. We had talks about smaller and bigger hair extensions suppliers, companies from Xuchang who aim to sell cheap hair at low prices and the best ways to build up trust in the relations with your customers. So a lot of business, but also with a personal touch because when we talked in her evening, her little daughter was giving me advice on the background. At least that is what I think, because my understanding of the Chinese language is still limited to the menu of the Chinese restaurant in my City.

My days are long, because I have clients and other contacts in nearly all the time zones of the world. In Ireland for example, where Einna is busy with the amazing launch of her hair and beauty business called SheBelle. She even went to travel to India to source her hair and it always very inspiring to talk to her. Too bad I am always too late to ask her a question, because she always knows before me what I want to ask her.

In the same time zone there is Africa. That’s a continent where I get more and more inquiries to start selling hair extensions from, mainly South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya. It’s Kenya, where the last weeks the interest in starting a hair business is taking over from inquiries from Nigeria! What’s happening Nigeria? Talking about South Africa, this week I spoke to Yanga who is looking for used weaves. She has a very ambitious plan to help young girls in her area with the proceeds of her business. It really gives me a warm feeling to have talks with people with a mission, passion and ambition and … their hart on the right place. Yeah I love my job. And if you have used weave, do not keep them in your bag, but donate them to Yanga.

The reason my days are very long, or my nights very short, is because of the many contacts with women, sorry it’s true most entrepreneurs in this business are female, from the US. The big challenge of having phone calls, Skype calls, WhatsApp chats and emails in all these various time zones is to avoid you miss an appointment. Too often I mistake in the time of an appointment. It’s already hard for the various countries, but within the US it’s even more confusing for me with EST, CDT, etc.. Last Thursday, or still her Wednesday I spoke with Jenise from the BVI owner of Ain’t She Cute Wigs. At 2 o clock of my night this lady knew to catch my full attention with her dream of the future of her hair business on the island. It was only after we ended the call I realized my day had finished long time ago. Only one more call this time with Shavon from the USA and I called it a day. Again a day that was too short, but how lucky I am to be able to speak with so many people with dreams, plans, questions but all looking for support to make their business grow, again.

 

I love my job! And you? Let me know in a comment, at any time of the day 😉

 

You have a dream to launch your own hair store, or your hair sales are lacking behind expectations. What can you do? Give it all up and let others succeed? Wouldn’t it be great to talk for 10 minutes with somebody who not only understands the hair extensions business, but who can help you with advice too?

You are not alone, you can always call me, I have blocked some time in my calendar already. I am waiting for you!  Call me, Stefan

Another thing to think of is the product info. Be transparent and share price info about the hair extensions, shipping conditions and all the background you can share about the origin of the hair, the donors if you sell human hair extensions or about the fiber you use if you sell synthetic.

Do not forget to place your client in the middle of your selling process and make sure you have a return policy that proofs you are 100% confident about the quality of your hair extensions and that tells the customer do not worry, if you are not happy, we will accept your return.
