Apparently. Some are even costlier than thar . It's the place and other jaras you're buying, I guess.

Someone mentioned hearing gossip in classy salons, LMAO. Shey na for streets gossip no boku? The fighting husband and wife; the one that dropped out of school because of pregnancy; NEPA palava. Your ears go too full.

Magnoliaa:


Okayyy. This may be one downside . Chisos!

You know sef, normally, people of that strata are rarely great in interpersonal relationships. Beating, shouting, curses, sending omo ise on errands and overworking them (might not be in all cases).

I'll like to think the high-end hairdressers are more composed and well-behaved, educated. You want to be showing razz behaviour in front of "big" customer wey come pay 20k for hair?

folake4u:


Spot on!!! The premium hair salons are very good for pre and post hair treatment. And also the finesse.

Lmao. The trenches hairdressers really dey give person headache especially if your scalp is soft and they pull the hair.

There are also others that are REALLY good and can handle hair well using those treatments. I tell them what to do for my hair.

Hair for 800? Na braids? If na braids,give me your plug.

pocohantas:



Yea. You really need to guide them on anything bougee. Sha no try do installation with them. They will use top bond to hold your frontals.

Catch your fun abeg it will help you de-stress.

I saw a YouTube short that brought you and Noliaa to mind, laff been wan finish me.

You ladies need to see it, it was a GenZ at her best, giving correct attitude even I couldn't argue with

If I see it again I will share and call your attention to it. The theme is similar to the video Coco shared but damn........this girl had the attitude to match her words and the email she sent her boss.

folake4u:


I thought you'd prefer the posh and classy hair stylists.

The trenches hairdressers are the best sha. Some people sleep on their abilities though.

pocohantas:


I went to one trenches hairdresser a no d she threw scissors at her son. Big scissors! That one for cutting attachment.

I just picked my bags and left. Very wicked woman. I told her she would finally succeed in pushing that boy away from her.

Magnoliaa:


I LOVE the Dance Challenge of this song. I wasted data on loads of videos of people dancing to it.

UyaiIncomparabl:
Let me type all at once ojere.

4) Very unprofessional. No decorum. Them go do amebo on top person head for hours, except for a few.

Sorry for the epistles oh.

Klass99:


Absolutely on point. You deserve one blue bunny ice cream, but I won't be the one buying it .

cococandy:
Speaking about trenches and posh salons, over here posh salons will want to charge you $500-$1000 for braids. They also expect tips and have a long list of rules. Meanwhile the trenches lady that braids my hair charges me less than $200 or at most $250 one time when I got faux locs. I don’t do complicated styles anyway.

cococandy:
Dey full tiktok.
The internet remains undefeated

Magnoliaa:


Reminds me of when this friend of mine helped me fixed my hair. And she dey talk with her boyfren. OMG. The number of times wey she take chook me with needle lasan. It was not a thing in the good experience, maidear.

We're here for the stories, ashually. Even if e back grandchildren for back, untie all of them for here, hehe.

You're certainly biased towards posh salons . It's all good.

Klass99:


Sorry FK I'm just seeing this. It's the trenches braids of 5k for me ooo, because of my skilled hair stylist from Cotonou (Bukky) even though she claims she's from Badagary.

That something costs a lot of money doesn't necessarily mean it is fine or it is the next best thing after sanitary towels and that has been my experience when it comes to braiding.

I have made my hair at some of these expensive hair salons that charge an arm and a leg and I didn't like the outcome/end result. I always end up going back to my ghetto stylist, who does a fantastic job and charges very affordable rates.

One time she made pick and drop braids for me, I entered Balogun market to shop, a mother and daughter admired the hair so much, they followed me to get her phone number. The mother said she saw me since and was trying to catch up with me, without shouting or losing sight of me in that market crowd. Bukky is that good!

Another time it was a tom-boyish colleague at work (Susan) who saw the bob-marley braids Bukky made for me and asked for her number. It was on a Thursday, Susan braided with Bukky over the weekend, on Monday our male colleagues were clapping at Susan's transformation and beauty.

The colour of Xpression Bukky chose was just right for Susan's complexion, the style and packing was on point too. Bukky is blessed and skilled when it comes to hair styling and I love that she tries to keep things neat and tidy in her salon.

It's the rules for me o. Is that 10hrs+ I am seeing for braids length reaching the bra?? Omo. Watin dem wan dey plait?



Long live the Internet. Tiktok videos in particular are very creative and original. You know there's also a trenches Tiktok? Or Tiktok for trenches side? Yoruba girls are infiltrating that category. There's one that even sparked a conversation on Twitter. A girl was celebrating her birthday in "the trenches." When I find the tweet, I'll post the link.

Shuba is also another lady on YouTube I admire - do you know her? She uploads YouTube Shorts.

cococandy:
I don’t know her (shuba). I have to look her up.

They thing with tiktok is that it’s very relatable. You’ll always find something in your niche that you enjoy watching

Klass99:


Absolutely on point. You deserve one blue bunny ice cream, but I won't be the one buying it .

Lol... I'm putting this down on my journal, Klass99 owe me Blue bunny ice cream .

Magnoliaa:

folake4u:
Omooo. The rules shock me too.

The highest I can sit for hair is 4-5hrs.

folake4u:


Lmao . It is true, all those hairdressers sabi work finish, na just the pulling of hair be the problem.

That pulling of hair ehn, i remember some years back i went to this "egbe ile" salon. This woman made the hair so hard that i felt like she was using pin on my head. Come and see fight that day Me wey no dey talk voice out. Woman self no too dey happy mood, come talk back. She was like" how would you want me to hold your hair than this?" . Last last no one told me before i talk say i no do again and left.

Although i feel i was just being extra sensitive that day sha because i tried her again, i didn't feel the way i felt the other time. I no dey learn i know

folake4u:
The woman that did my hair once for me, she was gisting with another lady how her husband use to handle her in bed, or gossip about her neighbour.
I'm never bored.

Some that will now push your head in-between their laps or be pushing your head if you shift it every second, knacking comb on your head. Ewwww. They do this to mostly children sha, but I never experienced it from my own hairdresser growing up. Her own was cooking, and attending to her newborn baby. So I had to wait long hours...

The only two i had the lap experience with were my mom and grand-mom and they were kind enough to always cover their laps with extra wrappers . Must times head go in-between the laps for styles like "koroba" and "shuku" .

Well that didn't last for long though, because all through my secondary school i was on low cut. In senior secondary school i was dubbed the only girl on low cut in the whole school. When asked why? I told them i wanted to be different but the truth was you can barely touch my scalp without me making a fuss plus after all struggles a day hair will be looking like hair made ten years ago. Thank God its better now sha. . While growing up, if i was told i would have a long hair i would have laughed so hard. My hair practically falls off while combing. yet so hard when you feel it

Magnoliaa:


Kai. I don't want to imagine this . And they are fond of calling their husbands My Oga. I don't know if it's a thing with them.

"Your Oga don come back?"

"No o. Na my Oga buy that decoder come home sef. Hin don leave that him yeye boss."
