This video trailer features:
1. Highlight photos and a video clip from the 1st practice session done – on Tuesday 27th April 2021 – by the girls with their Mentor, the CEO of ADA UNIQUE SALOON located at No. 5 Akinriade Street, Anifowoshe, Ikeja, Lagos.
2. Subtitled playback of a recorded phone Conversation, 2 days later, on 29th April – when Ada spoke with Temi after seeing photos of the 2nd practice session done by the girls at home.
Temiloluwa (15) and Oluomachukwu (12) started learning hairstyling with doll heads in 2018 as apprentices, then moved on to styling one another’s hair, and today are able to style client’s hair to get paid.
It’s not been easy to get them this far. We have had to deal with various challenges – some from the most unexpected quarters, but the girls’ love and undying passion for hairstyling has really helped to keep them on track.
After yet another challenge had kept them from hairstyling practice, from mid-2020 right into April 2021, I finally settled on an Action Plan to implement my idea of getting them invited to host a coaching clinic.
When Samuel, the CEO of SACAJ COMPANY NIGERIA LIMITED (where I do my magazine printing) learned I was looking for a saloon to partner with to host the girls’ maiden coaching clinic, he immediately recommended Ada Unique Saloon – noting that he was personally aware of at least ten kids she’d trained in the past.
By the time I met and spoke with the CEO of the saloon (i.e Ada), sharing the vision I had for my girls, and explaining the unique challenges they’ve faced since they began learning from back in 2018, I could see her passion driven interest was triggered.
Not surprisingly, when she met the girls on Tuesday (27th April 2021) for the first time she did not hold back. In less than an hour, she’d taken them through the steps required to create amazingly beautiful, yet low cost hairstyles using simple, commonly available tools.
My girls went home excited, and two days later produced photos (and videos – which will be posted later) showing they really grabbed it!
Ada was very impressed – and as you will hear in the second half of this video, commended them during the phone conversation she had with ‘Temi.
Tomorrow (i.e. Saturday 1st May 2021) is the Big Day for their first ever mobile “FREE BASIC HAIRSTYLING CLINIC FOR KIDS” (8 TO 15 YEARS).
They will be demonstrating to attendees who have already pre-registered (ages from 6 to 16) using the techniques they were coached on by Ada, in conjunction with braiding skills they already have from years of practice.
We are ALL excited & looking forward to a great outing.
Full videos and photos from start to finish will be uploaded to their own YouTube channel, which I will setup after the training.
The videos and photos will also be posted in a blog on http://www.temiandoluoma.com [Sisters With Skills]

[EVENT VIDEO & PHOTOS] How to Make Drinks You CAN SELL from Pineapple Peels – True Story
I was VERY PROUD of my girls for doing this public service, using one of several skills they possess.
It is said that one of the best ways to one of the best ways to get better at something you know is to teach it. Teaching forces you go out your way to fill in any gaps you may in your know-how, because you’ll want to make sure your learner “gets it”!
I’ve found this to be true and I’m using it to help my kids to take their mastery to the next level (this includes their baking, hairstyling etc).!
See below, the video clip from the event “How to Make Drinks You CAN SELL from Peels of Pineapples” showing my 2 daughters (12 and 9 years old) – supported by me – Tayo K.

The girls had fun – and it was an exciting experience for them to share what they knew with adults – and more importantly to do so in such a rural setting.
