At 28 Esther Samuels is a self-made hair stylist and fashion designer and she is not shy of revealing that she has no formal training in these two areas, as, according to her, they are in her DNA and her hair salon, her only source of income, has been flourishing over the years.
Maybe it is because Samuels’ salon is one with a difference; she describes it as a “safe space” for her clients to share and unburden. Her fashion store makes the business a one-stop shop, where once women have the perfect hairstyle, they can complement it with the perfect outfit.
Samuels believes her business is a way of “uplifting women” as she would hear the stories of women who feel different after they have had their hair done.
