The craft of barbing is now so popular in Nigeria and a lot of young people(mostly men) are venturing into the business. You can hardly pass through a street in town without finding a salon there, no matter how small it is. Each barbing salon would display the characteristics of the "Oga at the top", that is, the main barber or owner of the salon. Using Lagos as a case study, here are four types of salon you can find.
The DJ Studio Barbing Salon
This kind of salon is characterized with loud playing of songs. The
barber has several mix of different DJs in town and would not stop
disturbing the environment with music as far as there is electricity,
especially during evening time.
The Apprentice Filled Barbing Salon
This kind of salon may be an annoying one to visit sometimes, especially
when you're someone who does not like having a crowd gather around you.
When your hair is being worked on here, you may get confused as you may
not know the real person cutting your hair. There would be up to 5 or 7
other people standing beside the main barber and turning around with
him as he does the work.
The movie theatre Salon
The main barber here is a movie lover. The type of movie he watches is
dependent partly on his interest and more on his friends' interest. You
would always find his friends seated at the waiting seat for customers,
watching and discussing the movie. The annoying thing about this type of
salon is that the barber may sometimes lose focus and concentrate on
the movie for several minutes.
The executive salon
This is arranged in a professional way, you don't find a lot of boys
hanging around the place. Even if a song or movie is playing on TV, the
volume is usually low and wouldn't cause disturbance to anybody. Most
times, this kind of salons are usually fully air-conditioned and well
furnished.
