According to 24-year-old Esther Kimani, a barber in Nairobi’s CBD, most male customers prefer female barbers because of the ‘tender’ services women give.
“Most men prefer female barbers because our hands are not ‘rough’. They like it when I do the head massage for them. Our male colleagues just do the bare minimum kuwanyoa tu.
Most male clients I have encountered do not allow male barbers to wash their heads after being shaved,” said Ms Kimani.
David Chepkwony, confirms these claims. “I usually feel very good when my hair is being cut by a female barber. The opposite sex factor plays a big role in creating the feeling,” he said.
Let’s call her Kimberly, a university student, deep in love till a kinyozi girl pressed her boobs on her man’s head till she got into his thoughts and she easily lost her boyfriend. From her getting nudes on his phone of the same lady to find her in his house on a special night she had prepared for her man.
She however ignored all the red lights she was getting, be it from friends, neighbors and even on the phone. Then came the time she had to prove this for herself. She trailed her man to the barbershop he used to frequent and what she saw confirmed her worst fears.
He even had the nerve to stand up and kiss her after a good, boob pressing on his head in front of the eyes of all those who were in the barber shop. She then knew her man was long gone in the arms of the Kinyozi girl.
