    I didn’t expect the entire process to cost 9,600- especially being on the island, it isn’t bad. Another UA-camr, Sola Fagbemi, made a video visiting this salon to take out her braids (if. I remember correctly), and she mentioned that the stylists were timed to ensure that they were being efficient the entire process. Which I deeply appreciate, like Zainab said, I don’t want to spend my entire day at the salon.

      You may look at $20 dollars as cheap but to be truthful that price will actually be seen as too high by indigenes, like that's a whole N9600 for just a wash and go with twist. I do have to admit that the stylist did a great but by Nigerian standard that wash and go with twist should only cost about like $14 if not less, and that $20 is full cost for a box braid or some other protective weaving if I'm to be honest with you

They give you an elegant finish and treatment too. KLS sis knows her stuff. Then on the mainland we get the best of everything. Styling pampering caring. All at dirt cheap rates. And then braiders who do magic for a token. If you're interested hit me up. There are some for home service or when you have a party and need tonstep out looking your best.

  • @AdirondackRuby

    Such a simple, yet genius concept. Sometimes we think of salons as these grand, fancy, expensive places that you only go to ahead of special occasions. But sometimes it's nice to just take a break, let someone else detangle or shampoo your hair. It doesn't have to be about hair dye & hair cuts & fancy updos and all the other things that some places offer. It can be simple, straightforward. Better to do a few things WELL than to be mediocre at a hundred things, ya know? This reminds me of salons and barbers from my childhood.

  • @ose5226
    @ose5226 3 роки тому +9

    I'm so happy you made this video and the culture towards natural hair is changing in Nigeria. It would have saved me lots of stress years ago.
    I want to add for all the people saying that it's cheap because she gave the equivalent to $20. It's really not cheap for Nigérians. N9,600 is a lot of money and most can't probably afford to pay that for their hair. The value of the Naira has dropped so much and everything is super expensive for Nigerians but it appears cheap to others living abroad.
    For context, when i lived in Nigeria up to 2014, getting your hair washed & dried was like 1000 to 2000 Naira and braiding with box braids was about N5000 depending on the length, size, etc. So N9600 for washing and go is pretty expensive.
    I haven't been to a salon here in Canada because it's expensive to go in Canadian dollar and it probably the same in the US but also i don't feel that comfortable at salons. So if you find a salon that takes care of your hair well and you can afford it, support them ✌🏾

    The way she detangled your hair, is how I detangle the night before I wash my hair. This salon did an excellent job. I have been natural for over 13 years, and have never visited a natural salon. I usually blow out my own hair and then go to a salon, just for a trim. I would love to visit a salon like this one. Great video👍

    First, your hair looked amazing! Secondly, I am still traumatized from having to do my own hair. It never turns out like yours did and every time I've gone to a salon it's as of they are punishing me for not relaxing my hair. Feels as if they are trying to rip my hair from the roots when detangling! She was so gentle. $20 too! Wow!

I don’t think I’ll ever use the information but it’s just so interesting to learn what other hair types can do vs what mine can do (like putting your hair in twists then washing- my hair wouldn’t naturally come out of them and would just get tangled lol)
