I hold a Diploma in Fashion and Design.I had to create my own employment since it became hectic landing a job after my graduation.I decided to some market analysis is my nearest home town with the aim of trying to identify the most feasible business opportunity.Luckily the business opportunity that was viable was the one that was in line with my certification.
I then acquired a little capital and started a salon offering beauty services specifically, hair make-ups,pedicure and manicure.My culture; Keiyo is the best culture i can say.The people treats each and every individual equally without any discrimination.My children(two daughters) desire to both be teachers and to always support their mother whom is their role model in return to the unending support i have been giving them.This has been made possible by the current business that i operate.
My hobby is interacting with people and making new friends
I started my business in the year 2006 just after my college studies.I am currently running a salon and a cosmetics offering all type of beauty services named as "Amazing Salon" and also selling of cosmetics productsI chose this particular type of business after my market analysis and the realization that few people had ventured into it.More so the salons that existed at that time were of low standards and weren't operating according to the wishes of the customers.
I was glad that my salon quickly picked up and customers preferred my salon to those that existed at those time.My initial profits at averaged Ksh 12,000 for the first three months and later improved upto Ksh. 42500 (till now).
My current operational costs include the following (monthly)
Electricity bills Ksh. 3000
Wages and salaries Ksh. 12000
House rent Ksh. 8000
Water bill Ksh. 2500
Provisions Ksh. 3000
I am currently using the profits generated from my business for paying my children's fees and reinvesting the remaining amounts back into the business.
Apart from my salon services that i am currently offering,i have recently introduced few cosmetics items and i am really happy that its really performing well.The challenge though is that i haven't fully stocked the cosmetics items and customers are really in need of the items.
Therefore, i am currently seeking funds to increase the particular items at the cosmetics section.The funds that i will obtain from zidisha will be used to increase the cosmetics items.
