“I have been involved in beauty pageants growing up and when I left retail, started researching beauty techniques, and then started practicing, and perfected it. The experience that I gained from running a retail store made me start my own business.”
In addition to marketing hair pieces, Vanessa offers a variety of services and explains that she wanted to provide services to women who are not normally catered to:
“I wanted to provide an all-encompassing product that is suitable for all types of women, from business owners, corporate ladies, housewives, and the hustling ladies.
“My emphasis is on providing quality products at competitive prices in a comfortable space. I started the business in 2018, working from home, and branched out to a business park.”
Lady with beauty salon supports people
Vanessa explains that she supports many households with her business and plans on expanding her enterprise:
“I support seven households with my business as most of my team relies on what we make for a living.
“I have implemented systems that enable the business to be a success and would like to have other branches and franchise the brand.”
