Unlike most barber shops in Kenya there is no music in salon where most of our women end up at least once or twice a week. Women like relaxing during their long hours of make-up activity or like a generally calm environment. Men on the other hand are lively, social and upbeat.

A calm environment let’s your thought float freely and with this situation is where the gossip kicks in. Women like sharing their problems and mostly feel like sharing them can be more relieving. Well this might be a bit problematic because your story can reach unwanted sources in the name of don’t tell. I once witnessed women fight after they found out they were sharing one husband. Unlucky for them because they were digging gold in a cartel hand who worked as a construction worker and was only paid enough to look good. Each women talked about her outside partner treated them well than their current husbands. He had the looks his bed game was good and promised many things which he could not deliver. After narrowing down to physical description that’s when the fight broke out. Then again women fights are so boring you wouldn’t wish to see one

There was this other story of a DCI woman who pretended to be a salonist but in the end ended up being killed. She liked too much gossip until a time she forgot she was an officer. She was investigating a group of men who pretended to be ladies and would go to a club and swindle men cash. One day this good looking beautiful men rob a politician three million shilling and left him almost lifeless. That is when the DCI was willing to investigate. So they decide to send an intern to a field where survival meant everything. A group of organized crime who even had police on their pay checks just to avoid looking over their shoulders each time. This lady talked too much, she ended falling in love and her stories did not match. Before she could realize she was playing  chess  without queen and rooks it was a checkmate. She was eliminated on the street daylight by unknown person and rumors about her was the only thing that was left alive. 

A man who is married to a hair dresser knows allot about many people. Inside the salon is where all the stories begin and end. Unlucky for you, if your story ever gets there. Everyone will know but they won’t tell
