Campaign Story

Hello everyone, my name is Johnmark, and I am a passionate, self-trained stylist based in Nigeria. I am a professional hair stylist, a dedicated loctian, a body piercing specialist, and a pedicure technician.

For a long time, I have been operating as a mobile stylist or working from cramped temporary spaces—managing to deliver high-quality, neat, and hygienic services to my clients. The demand for my specialized combination of skills (especially clean, safe body piercings, detailed loc maintenance, and relaxing pedicures) has grown completely beyond what my current setup can handle. My goal now is simple: I want to open a dedicated, safe, and professional beauty studio where clients can get premium care under one roof. Because I am launching this as a grassroots, independent business, I do not yet have formal corporate bank loans. I am building this from the ground up through pure skill, hard work, and the support of community members like you.

Why This Business Will Succeed

Unlike a standard hair salon, my studio is unique because it blends three highly profitable, recurring niches:

1. Loc Care (Loctian Services): Locs require continuous maintenance. My clients are loyal and return every few weeks for retwists and styling.
2. Professional Body Piercings: Safe, hygienic piercing services are hard to find. I prioritize strict sterilization and high-quality jewelry.
3. Pedicures & Hair Styling: Everyday self-care services that provide steady, reliable daily cash flow.

What the Funds Will Be Used For

Every single Naira donated to this campaign will go directly into acquiring the essential tools and setting up a clean, functional workspace. Your donations will fund:

• The Essentials: A professional salon chair and a dedicated pedicure station.
• Health & Safety: A medical-grade autoclave/sterilization machine for my piercing tools to ensure 100% hygiene.
• Stock & Inventory: Premium loc oils, hair products, styling tools, and hypoallergenic piercing jewelry.
• Space Setup: Securing a small, accessible shop space and paying the initial rent.

How You Can Help

No amount is too small. Whether it is ₦2,000, ₦5,000, ₦20,000, or more, your contribution directly puts tools into my hands and a roof over my business. If you are in the diaspora, your international cards/Apple Pay work perfectly on this platform. If you cannot donate financially, you can still help me tremendously by sharing this campaign link with your network, friends, and family.

Thank you so much for investing in my skills, my dream, and my future. I cannot wait to welcome you all into the new studio!

With gratitude.
