All roads leads this weekend, Sunday, July 8, 2012, to 44, Bode Thomas Road, Surulere, Lagos, Nigeria. When Nigeria’s King of Hair-Styling- the extra-ordinarily blessed & gifted Ugochukwu Igbokwe would throw open the doors of his new branch- The Make Me Beauty Place, which is just a walk away from the old building.
The edifice, a whole house, would house a one of its kind Hair/Beauty Mart downstairs and unarguably the best Hair Salon in Lagos as at yet barring none, upstairs.
Getting to this point for Ugochukwu was not easy at all, he bought a building that had to be remodeled and it had to be rebuilt to particular standards, the award winning Hair-stylist was not going to compromise on at all. The place was to have opened several months ago, but due to escalating cost he had to re-strategize and still meet up with his plans.
Now the unbelievably gorgeous place is finished and come this Sunday, it would be declared open by none other than the First Lady of Lagos- Dame Abimbola Fashola, wife of the Executive Governor of Lagos State.
Let’s just give a brief description of the place. Downstairs like we already said is the beauty supply store, that stocks the best brands of hair from the very affordable to the best brands you can dream about, not just hair extensions, also every other thing like creams, gels etc that feeds the hair. Apart from the hair products and extensions, they would also stock a few brands of beauty products; the idea is to have a total beauty palace.
Upstairs is where many would be totally mesmerized, you climb the stairs and you are immediately swept off your feet by the beautiful and spacious ambience, you are welcomed by a mini water-fall, then the sound-proofed glass opens for you to be welcomed by the receptionist, immediately before your eyes is a Super-Exclusive place, it’s a private enclosure for members only, next to it is the fantastic nail room, by the side are the cubicles, that has been tagged the work stations, there are 4 of the work stations, that takes 6 people at a go, opposite a part of the work station is the Hair Wash area, where 5 people can wash their hair simultaneously, you move from this area and you enter through a door always kept shut into the ‘’Exclusive Area’’, that section is another story entirely. It’s like leaving the economy part of a plane to enter the First Class section; you enter a world of ultimate pampering. You need to visit to see what’s on ground; comfort seems to be the watchword.
For the opening you can expect to see some of Nollywood’s powerhouses converging, the likes of Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Dominic, Kate Henshaw-Nuttal, Ini Edo, Uche Jombo-Rodriguez, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Chidi Mokeme, Mike Ezuruonye , Chioma Chukwuka, other celebs like Julius Agwu, Omawunmi Megbele, Gideon Okeke, Damilola Adegbite, Jackie Appaiah and many others are also expected to grace the opening.
We are sending a very big congratulation to Ugochukwu from Maestro’s Media, more grease to your elbow, many more great things to come.
