Graced doesn't like making women's hair
Although Grace is now a professional barber, she once worked in the salon business and did not like it.
"In the barbershop, I spend like only 20 minutes on someone's head, but in the salon, I used to spend more than an hour on ladies' heads. Sometimes they would make me undo the hair after I was done with making their hair," said Grace."Working with men is so easy...sometimes a man can come for a simple KSh 500 (N2,592.76) haircut and end up spending KSh 6000 (N31,113.16) at the barbershop," she added.
