When did you start?
1st Apr,
2014.
What inspired you to start?
I have a passion for solving economic problems in my own
little way. The need to see startup companies and entrepreneurs do business
without being burdened by the huge amount of money needed to acquire a decent
office space in a highly sought after commercial area and put facilities in
place to be able to run a business successfully. Also, ladies have beauty
needs, a huge part of which is getting quality hair that the average lady can
afford and getting it at their own convenience. As the economic issues are
arising, women are engaging more in the labor market and getting more
productive. There is little or no time to sit in salons after a long day at
work and probably running home to tend to the family. Most ladies now tend to
want to pay more attention to taking better care of their natural hair but
still look great without the "sew-ins". Hence the need for
AdornBeautyShop Wigs.
Give us a brief on the steps you took when starting
I did a lot of reading and planning.
What separates you from your competitors?
I would say the grace of God.
Who are your customers?
Start up business owners, start up companies and
entrepreneurs who are in need of a decent and highly commercial environment to

productivity for the day, short term or long term; All these without breaking
any bank. Our other set of customers are ladies who are in need of luxurious
silky textured quality wigs or make up services at the best prices.
How are you currently getting your customers?

What challenges does your business/brand face?
Well, the usual problems every entrepreneur can identify
with. A few of which are lack of infrastructure such as power supply and the
rest. High exchange rates and various charges that are mandatory for businesses
to remit to various agencies whether or not you are making profit.
In what ways could these challenges be handled?
I would say making the best use of what is available to you
at every point in time to keep your business afloat by the grace and wisdom of
God.
What are the most important activities you carry out everyday to keep
your business/brand running?
Pray, research, plan ahead.
