Celebrity Hair Stylist Jayne Akoth On The Booming Weave Business In Kenya

How much a good quality? If assuming okay, I don't have money to invest in in a high quantity, how much a good rich! It goes from 3,000. 3,000 yeah. You often hear men complaining. I can't date a girl who have a river you see. The weave is how it's put you see. It depends with even the profession you see. I like big hair. I, like red, hair, my profession when I walk out what see what people see me is my hair, but you see if you are in an office, why should you put a blonde hair? What you do put a synthetic weave, which you know you are a chef and maybe you are cooking and you're, not tying your hair and then it burns out. You understand it depends on your profession, your age. You get this old, mama she's, maybe 70. She wants blonde and big here, so this man is like what a man walks in the streets and then she's like what I saw a lady with a wig. I wouldn't, like my. I have to put her with so it depends on how it's done and it when it's done with a professional. I don't think there's any problem, yeah age, so there's an age appropriate before a different age, yeah yeah somebody observant awakened. Why should she put her like a 30-inch wheel or a 24-inch weave and she put like five pieces of weaves you understand and then this girl, who is 20 years, there's no way she can put like she's she's young. You can see - and she wants to put like, like my weave, like my weave - is not for somebody of 18 years yeah, it's a mature look understand. So every weave has their own general. That and if you go to a professional, they will advise you, which one looks better on you according to how even you dress up, you can't be lawsuit and then we are blonde and spike you move. No, it won't look right for you, okay and then how long I will should say up to one to two months. Yes - and you have to treat it wash it as your own here, so yeah, yeah yeah, so with the waves it depends with which type of weave did you buy with synthetics is just use and throw, and with human here we have the Virgin human here. You can use, recycle them and all that yeah. So like how many times there are so many types of with you there's some with that, we call them mixed fiber and there's some wood that are synthetic lives and they some will turtle raging waves virgin hair weaves are weaves that are coming directly from human beings. Then they are wash treated and then they are supplied and then there's this mix fibers you get from fallen here here that has been cut to the salon. They are mixed with fibers and then you can resell them and then there's this synthetic weave which is made of Kanekalon and then most of them are made in Korea and then they're shipped talking. Like you Romanian words, it's like fudge in Romania, yeah and vegging. You might hear most of them they're from directly from people from people yeah, and then you said when you're taking care when you, when you're taking care of your wheel, you have to treat this as your own here. Don'T treat it as a foreign thing in your body, wash it do treatment after every two weeks. Teach the we've also blow-dry. You see because there are also some tiles that last up to six months, like micro extension, that we do here in the salon they last up to six months. When you have this tile, you'll be washing it every two weeks, treating it blow drying it and you can change color. You can change the sails. So all that and when you are sleeping with it, you cannot sleep with a plastic bag on or a nylon. What I realize Stiles come and go like on my Facebook page. I get so many hairdressers who admire my job and they would like to be like me. Some of them could not afford even to be with me here, because maybe our space is limited like now. We are full, so what we do when I put the styles there, they are able to learn from these times. That is that landing lesson is not all about the clients. Sometimes they'll ask how much how much, how much is not all about getting clients from the Facebook page is those about training. Another hairdresser who wants to follow me only ones who know to learn about me and maybe she's in Nakuru Naivasha. She wants to follow gym. So we'll get these people like you, get these hairdressers when they follow you, they learn from you and then what keeps me this client coming is the different styles that I put when I put this here. These tiles next day I'll have another style, because every I have to go to Atlanta and learn a lot about the weaving and the extensions. So the styles that I've done this year is not the same that I'll do next year, so they keep on coming back. So the client is confident enough to know that jen has a style. For me, jen has a style for me. That'S why they keep on coming back yeah and they keep on coming back and keep on multiplying. Then they come here time like your website that you special I get that I'd love to know energy. That also would love to know what it is like my curling thing, micro linking is, we use like metal rings, and then we link it to the hair. We just link it to them here: okay, let's weave in user names and then especially with the women who are bald area, especially around the crown we use the net and then we are able to sit the weave on top of the net yeah and the fusion Wheel, the official movies about the glue fish on means bonding, so they the cotton weave it are the bonding in the other, strap at the top of the strap. So we are able to use the fusion to melt it. We use a machine that we melted to infuse it to your hair, to attach to your hair detachable showing me it's like car is just as strong in you with the core with the cornrows and then it's something that you can remove and put it back. Yeah kinda, weird McCarney weave, is just a normal wheel. Yes, the normal oil, the Malaysian weave we use like micro, green, relax, your hair and then you use it like truck, and so, but you use some metal rings or copper rings to attach it. We can use copper black or depending on the color here the heads blown. We use a blonde that micro rings. If the hair is brown, we use the brown. If the hair is black use, the black micro ring, so we use the is called inter, not interlocking. Then you detectable timing and that one use is a type of weave. So when you put the weave on top, you won't detect it to our exam. You put a weave, you won't detect it, so we call it detectable sense, okay and then custom class home. We you come in and then we put a net onto your head and then we do custom made wigs on to your hair onto your head. So it's only for you not for her, so everybody walks in is the same shape. Different shape, different head. So we do it on top into onto your hair, okay and then hey is like now you bring your weaves and then we replace we. We fill the ribs on to the wigs. We feel the waves onto the wigs yeah. Let'S you, let's make it dowerless. What will I say most I'll cells, we call it DNA, so you just do the controls and then we apply it. We put it it's like a week and then we just put it yeah. We'Re flipping is done, use a weave. Then you stitch yeah any message to any style. It'S one you came to get it's all about. Learning, keep on learning, keep on updating, don't say that you are the best. You will never be the best. If you say you are the best once there is any class that I has been advertised, if they don't Facebook on where keep on learning, keep on learning so that you can learn the new trends, the new products that are in the market. Maybe you might think that you are using a product that is very good and maybe they the company. They thought only of realized that this company is messing people, so they've changed something so keep on learning, keep on running yeah and look for a mentor to mentor. You there are so many mentors around there and once they are willing and some mentors are positive, mind sr- minded you just land. Also you can get a mentor even on the online. Even you have mentors that we follow them on Instagram. They don't live here, but it's like we are stalkers. We we see our what they do. We follow what they do and then we want to be like them. That'S what, before a mentor is not a mask. You just have one-on-one contact with your mentor, but you can follow them.
