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.

Such a detailed explanation.

Seven blessings to Bukky!!!

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.

Thank you very much Klass.

Loool when you see it again, please share. Make I see if we get the same attitude as comrade in arms.

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.

Yes. They need serious guidance.

Lmao. I nor bold give them for wig installation oh. Heiiiii gawd.

Magnoliaa:




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.

Gossips are everywhere abeg. Both trenches and premium hair salons.

I like their gossips sha.

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.

Klass99:
Is this girl not writing exams again? Abi Bar exam don finish Folake?

I dey write exams oh.

We did Property Law today.

I'm using NL to take small break from reading.
My head wan burst.

pocohantas:
It depends. I actually do agree that braids from premium places have this extra finesse. It is not just about the braids, but the before and after hair treatment. Most of the trenches braiders do not know anything about protective styling. They just grip your edges and leave you with heavy headache and chop-chop-hair.

They are good, but they need a lot of guidance.

I made my hair for N800. Though I paid her N2000 out of my own benevolence.

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.

Magnoliaa:
LMAOOO. E reach to ask. The way you asked this cracked me up.

Trenches literally mean the streets. So trenches braids, those your average, everyday hairdressers. Mummy X, Iya B.

Abi Folake? Is it the same meaning, 'coz yours is different from mine?

Lol na the same meaning oh.

Farfalla:
Well, whenever I opt to do braids, I prefer to have the braider come over to my place. The particular lady that does my braids is extremely neat. I met her through my SIL.

Of course I don't pay her the 'trenches' rates (commonly known as salun ya mtaa in my country), neither do I pay her the ajebutter rates, but I give her enough to motivate her to leave the trenches and come over to my place.

That is nice. Home service is also cool.

Ishilove:
Dakun, what is trenches braids?

2-5k braids.

cococandy:
Those trenches people have to be the winners

There might be a few exceptions but I want to believe that in general those experienced folks that have been doing it for years in one offsite shack carry the braiding industry.

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.

Persephone1:
As ghetto babe wey i be, and being fortunate to enter high class salon once I believe ghetto people sabi braids pass . They sabi hold person destiny join hair

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

Pocohantas made mention of braids yesterday and somehow I stumbled on this thread on Twitter today.

https://twitter.com/Dlaureate/status/1564326943088074752?t=bj76Arzm27HOH1obNVyKNw&s=19

Are trenches braids of 5k better than 25k braids? Do you like paying 25k for braids just for the comfort/ AC enjoyment etc?

Ladies,I need your answer.

This should be fun.

Magnoliaa:
In addition to the above, I think, though, that if you have a VERY pertinent piece of information to drop as a man, you can drop and we'll read? But engaging conversations and bants? Nah. Nope.

I am just one person, sha, and my Lady Judge and senior learned colleagues might disagree and insist on the no-male policy, and I don't have the power to say otherwise.

Una gender too bash women for this site, lol. Leave this only one for us and let us enjoy.

I am even breaking the rule myself by not ignoring.

Wo, we all insist all the no-male policy and it is strict!

Make them leave this small thread for us abeg.

ahnie:
Hello pretty ladies.

Hell0 Mama Ahnie. I saw your mention. Thank you very much.

Persephone1:


I agree, but rules should not be too much biko Ah ahn

Obedience is better than sacrifice oh.

If we leave the floor open for the rest gender, they'd flood here with their drama and we all would not like the outcome.

The rules still stand. No male should be quoted here.

RULE 1: No lady should mention a male on the thread and if a male comments, he should be ignored.

Persephone1!!!!

Teespice:
Thanks dear.

The thread is a breath of fresh air. Away from all the drama and noise.

Welcome Ms. Teespice.

Ah Ma'am Coco.
We don't quote male monickers here.

Thank you.

To get licensed as a lawyer, you need to apply to the NCA, get assigned some courses and write the exams. The exams are written a few times annually. You can write all in one sitting if you are a genius. If you pass and get your NCA certificate, you then apply to the Law Society of Ontario or the province where you want to practice. The Bar exams-Barrister and Solicitor’s-are written 3 times a year. Not sure if this has increased or decreased because of the pandemic-induced changes.

If you pass the bar exams, you can either apply for Articling or get an exemption as I did. Of course, you will called to the bar. What you do after that is up to you.

Those who love transactional practice areas and with good experience can join banks and corporations as In-house Counsels or join law firms-big, medium and small.

Networking will determine how fast you get good opportunities to practice after your call.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your detailed answer. I appreciate it.

I really hope you get to see this, I was going to send this as a mail bit I'm not exactly sure how that works. This is my first time trying to send an email through Nairaland.

This is something I should have sent in a long time ago, specially for this lady that has entertained me and many other silent readers but it's better late than never.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm strongly rooting for you as you start your exams and so are many others!!


As you start, I pray that you write as inspired by God, you put down correctly as it's in the mind of your lecturer!! You find great favour before every examiner you and your script comes in contact with!!

As you read and revise, you are divinely led by God to where the examiner has put in his heart to set! You enjoy the ministry of angels as God's spirit brings all things to your remembrance!! You won't be tired!! You won't go weary!! God's supply supernatural strength to you throughout this period as you read and as you write, strength all through!!



I want you to go into your exam hall knowing the outcome of this is already a good one so all things has no choice but to conform. And this we know because our Father, God doesn't give small gifts to we his children!!

Now go into that exam hall as the fighter and winner that you are. No matter what they choose to bring your way, you are 10 times better!!!

Go show them the stuff you are made of!!


Much Love!!
We are rooting for you!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, TEMI.
