HAIR-PRENEURS CHIOMA GOODHAIR & AKUNNA GETS NEW WONDERS ON WHEELS. BUSINESS MUST BE SURELY BOOMING!

Chioma Ikokwu of Good Hair Ltd

Akunna Nwala-Akano of Kuku's Hair 

Anyone that claims that there's no money in the hair business, either luxury or normal had better have a rethink as contrary to what most believe, there seem to be some sort of Naira rain of epic proportion happening in that sector of the lifestyle business. And those who are very involved in the business, who have invested very well in it, are just smiling and smiling to the banks daily. And from what we have garnered, it's not just #mizwanneka, who is also known as the hair boss, who had razzled-dazzled all comers a few weeks back, when she took delivery of her mind-blowing, N120m Naira valued 2020 matte black & dazzling G-Swag and later went forward to open her new, dazzling place in the Lekki Phase 1 area, which she claims to have bought outright, that is enjoying the largesse from doing good business in the sector. (Someone claims she only has a long lease on the spot and has not yet bought the place outright).

It seems like others too like her, who are also very prominent in the same type of business are not also doing shabbily at all and there are evidences to show that all is super well too on their sides in a massive way too, but they might just be loads more incognito or better still feel better being under the radar than others. Truth though is that it seems like the sky is actually massive enough for all the birds around to fly about unencumbered.

From what we hear, Chioma Ikokwu of Good Hair Ltd, whose other partner is the very stylish Kika, who had earlier this year gotten her own classy condominium in old Ikoyi which we hear is still getting fixed to meet that fully badass upscale standards. That particular purchase had gotten many others in her world salivating as they never expected it. Chioma is said to have already paid for, and she is eagerly awaiting the delivery of her own brand spanking new, 'senior utility vehicle' SUV too. From the unconfirmed information at our disposal, it's like this new machine that's coming in soon, most likely before the end of the year to be more precise, might actually be a '2019 Range Rover Velar'.

The beautiful Velar from what we know of it, is a 'mid range luxury SUV', and one of the great cars in the Land Rover/Range Rover range of SUVs.  And from the available information about the 2019 Velar, it actually starts from about $49,950 which is approximately about (N18,000,000) & can rise to about $75,000 which is about N27, 000,000), this cost here doesn't include the duty and Co, which comes to the new standard 70% made uo of 35% duty and another 35% levy tax. When that 70% is added to the cost of purchase, the landing cost of the car could come to plus or minus between N30,600,000 to N45, 900,000 Naira. Although N46m is  a whooping sum on its own, it is still a far cry from N120m which is how much #mizwanneka's G Wagon cost. Meaning #mizwanneka could have bought just bought 3 Velars, if she just added 17million Naira to N120m.

The Velar though, is still a awesome package in anyway or manner one wants to look at too. Maybe though, Chioma could change her mind now and order instead a G wagon. As the G Wagon has now come to be the standard by which others are judged in the sector now, that's for anyone that wants to stand out from all others. So for now Nwanneka is in a different Liga all by herself.

Lest we forget, Good Hair Ltd hair from what we could gather come at between N250000 to N600,000 Naira. But special order could go far above the margin stated here.

For Akunna Nwala Akano though, who is the excellently delectable, totally bodacious, awesomely shaped boss at Kuku's Hair also based on the island, with the actual location of her office being the Lekki Phase 1 axis. She's also obviously doing super well too from the looks of it. In actual fact, this married mother of one is rated as selling some of the best hair in the hair sector today. She's reputed as having mostly the very upscale, very high up there clientele as her preferred customers. She's actually done super well for herself, having been in the hair business for a decade now, having started in 2009. Just imagine selling a full head of hair from about N130,000 Naira for the cheap and chearful to as much as N1m plus Naira.

Her range of the super exotic hairs which starts from N450,000, is acclaimed by most to be her best seller by far & unmatchable by others in the business. So just imagine if 10 of her high-flying customers would buy a full head of hair at some point, that would come to at least N4.5m Naira alone. And it could go for far higher up than that, as some of this clientele could buy the range that's above N450,000. We are too sure that you all know that in Nigeria, it's strictly about outdoing each other on the style stake, so the more expensive one is garbed, the better!

So one can now begin to understand why these hair merchants, are all such definite high flyers. Wearing and carrying the latest garbs from all of the best brands around without a whimper and with undeniable sass and oomph. Akunna's incredible bag collection from what we have heard, is actually one to die for, as it includes several crocodile skinned Hermes Birkin which goes for not less than $40000 that's about N14 plus million for just a bag! And she owns more than one of such! And there's the speculation also that, she even has/own an ostrich Birkin, added to the several normal ones she also owns. The ostrich Hermes could go for as much as $54000 or in fact more, depending. That alone is about N20m for just a bag! 1 bag at that! One ostrich bag and 2 Croco would actually buy & bring in without any stress the highest end, brand spanking, factory minted Velar!

To show how good business has been for Akunna, she only just a few weeks back, took delivery of not less than 3 not cheap at all cars, made up of a Range Rover, a Toyota SUV and a Toyota Hilux. All of these cars in one fell swoop and which would have cost her, not less than several tens of millions in Naira.

So if any one now claims for any reason that the hair business in Nigeria is not a virtual goldmine, then they do not know nothing then.

29 YEAR OLD MILLIONAIRE HAIR-PRENEUR #MIZWANEKA OPENS OWN MULTIMILLION VALUED PERMANENT SITE.

Doris Nwanneka Nkumah












Hmmmmmmm. The young millionairess if ever there's a word like that, has done it again. Apparently when she deliberately caused a bit of sustained panic with the arrival and unveiling of her N120m valued G-Swag, (that's the 2020 Mercedes AMG G63 in matte black for you), she was yet to land fully and was still unfolding the goodies.

So now after only a few weeks since that car, sorry since that 'senior executive utility vehicle' SUV arrived, yesterday, that's talking about Sunday, November 3, 2019 to be more precise, the young, married mother has gone a step further by declaring open her own, not rented. She in fact bought the place and rebuilt it to taste and specification, making it her own lifestyle headquarter.

And to help her declare the place open she had invited friends, family members and customers to share in her joy. And all of them gladly obliged her with their glamorous presence too. Gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo was even available to help lead thanksgiving songs in praise and worship to God. For all the blessings thus far.

Maybe she had or might not have heard the sniggering behind her back that her car had caused, with many asking about the possibility for one to have made up to N120m Naira to buy a car doing the hair business. With this new opening now, she has further confounded the wise again.

For those who might not know, maybe we should let them know certain things. The hair business all over the world is a massive and quite lucrative business. And those involved in it, are raking in the dough in millions upon millions from it. Those who were able to see into the future years back and got in early, have continued to gain from their foresight. It actually depends on the level you want to come in at, you just can just be a major success at it, if you can be disciplined, dedicated and hardworking.

However one wants to look at it, hair in wigs, weave-ons etc, doesn't come cheap at all. You need at least 2 to 3 or more per head for a style. So just imagine if over the time, you have now built a massive clientele or followership that swears by you and trust your products implicitly. You are now not even just selling as a just a retailer, but you are also even a wholesaler, one that many others, who resells buys from. And the reason they come to you is because, you are known for sure quality and affordability. For about a N100,000 to N150,000, people would have a ball. And you could even still have cheaper or more luxurious and expensive ones. So you are in the mid-range, that's what people have tagged affordable luxury. So like bees to honey or ants to honey, people troop in endlessly and you are raking in the dough left, right and center. Just literally smiling to the banks steadily on the daily.

The thing also is, compared to your cost and how much you are selling your products, you are literally making a kill, as per profit and then if you are disciplined, making sure you are not a spendthrift hmmmmmm. That's how very possible one can afford the best without a whimper. Once in a while, if you have worked triple hard, you are allowed some excesses too once in a while. At least it's your money and you cannot be an 'aka gum for your own self nowwwww. So you can afford to indulge yourself too. The reason for making the money in the 1st place, is so as to have comfort.

People generally don't understand or better still, don't know that, we have quite the number in this clime to support any business to succeed, especially if it's has to do with fashion, style or beauty. Just as long as we offer the products or services that the numbers actually needs or wants. In Nigeria, just like it obtains all over the world too, women would always want to out do each other on the style/fashion stake no matter what. So a young lady's collection of hair could actually cost at any point in time be as much as a million NAIRA or more! 3 very good wigs could cost that much.

For those who might not know her, the now famous Nwanneka of #MizWanneka is a '29 year old' young lady by the name 'Nwanneka Nkumah Doris'. And she's the last child of 9 kids. She actually started her hair business journey in 2013, age 23 year old, meaning 6 years ago now, enough to learn the ropes and master it. She has failed twice in the business and gotten back up again much better. She has always combined her entrepreneurial drive with her education and has excelled in both. She graduated in 2017 & she has 3 kids-Emily, Sergei Nkumah & another.
2017 birthday present to self

In 2017, for the great & unflinching support her husband-William Nkumah has always given her all round, she bought him a 'Range Rover Evoque' as a valentine present and for her own birthday in that same year, she bought herself a badass Mercedes Benz saloon car. So her love for good machines on 4-wheels didn't just start recently. So doing the G-Wagon is not a wonder to those who know her. She even bought a house in Lekki for her mom in 2018 from what we heard.
