It is no longer news that these days, a lot of women, mostly celebrity ones prefer male hairstylist over their female counterparts. As a matter of fact, hairdressing which is often considered as a woman’s job has been taken over by men, who now dictate the trend in that industry, and who have also elevated it while adding touch of creativity to the profession.
Interestingly, most of the top stylists that you often hear about these days are Men, such as the likes of Bobby Eke, Chief Abogo of Downtown Salon, Ugo of Make-me, Zubby and a host of others. These men have since become the most sought after. The reason why women prefer these male stylists however vary. Some of these reasons include the fact that men are more meticulous in styling, and they always try their best to make the woman look good. In some cases, men are seen as being more professional than the women. Besides, women prefer to entrust their hair to an efficient service provider. They have more confidence in male hairstylists because, having a point to prove in the industry, men take their job more professionally.
There are also those that believe that male stylists do a better job than their female counterparts. When a male hairdresser touches them they feel more relaxed. They also like them because they spend more time on their clients. Women feel more comfortable with the suggestions of the male hairstylists and they concur without questions. The male stylists are also a bit steadier. They are less temperamental than their female counterparts, as they rarely have as much off days. Even though both sexes are almost equal in terms of their competence, but it is often noted that most male hair stylists tend to be more flamboyant and are perceived to be more creative.
But what a lot of people don’t know is that most of these male hairstylists not only make hair, but some of them have also become the bed mates of their famous female customers, unknown to the women spouse. And what makes it easier is because home service is now the order of the day in the industry, as it’s tends to be more lucrative than the sit-in salon styling. A hairstylist makes more money when he has to come over to the house to make hair for his clients. But these days, a lot of super rich women do not only engage these guys, mostly the young ones in the hair business to render hairdressing services at home for them, they also attend to seek their services to fulfill their sexual needs.
According to what was gathered, these women find these male stylists very attractive as they always looked well groomed. It doesn’t hurt that these hairdressers are often younger, more handsome and sexier than the average men, which is a boost to most of these women’s ego, especially when they have been derived of sex by their spouse who are always preoccupied with work. The men in their life are too self-absorbed to notice such vital details as their hairdo or even compliment their style which makes the women feel ignored.
On the other hand, the hairdresser tells her how good she looks, flatter her and even listens to her stories about the issues in her life and marriage, sympathetically offering soothing advice to her.
That’s how it starts, and before long, they begin to call and texts each other, where the guy showers her with compliments and in no time, a clandestine affair kicks off. These women are often able to pull off the affairs with their hair stylists and sustain them discreetly over a long period of time.
We gathered that, these young guys are usually lured into the act by these ladies after promises of heaven and earth have been made to them. With their financial power, coupled with the present economic melt down, the boys’ spirit of resistance is easily subdued. These ladies’ desperation is induced by the sweet feelings they experience during hair treatment. In the process, they dangle car keys, accommodation, cash and all kinds of attractive gifts, just to have their way. The major gist is that majority of these affluent ladies are married with kids.
This might also explain the amazing wealth of some male hairstylists in town. Some of them own cozy hair salon in some high brow area in Lagos, courtesy of these super-rich women. They also cruise around in state-of-the-art cars and live in very comfortable, tastefully furnished homes.
And even though they were lured into the act, they now enjoy the other benefit of the business.
There is a case of Kelvin, who has his salon in Ikeja. He is very young and is doing very well for himself. He is equally talented and good at what he does. He was introduced into the business years back by a particular top business woman who owns one of the biggest shops in Alade market in Ikeja, Lagos. And ever since then, he has grown to become a master in that field, as he now has a long list of these women he serves on regular bases. What they like about him is his physique. These women spoil him with lots of money in return for the care he gives them. He changes his cars regularly, which makes many people wonder whether he is making so much beyond the N5,000 and above he charges for home service depending on the hairstyle.
There is another guy called Martins who also has a salon around Ikeja. This guy enjoys living big. He was also lured into business years back, and since then, he has discovered the other lucrative side of the business, as he now goes around seducing these women anytime he meets one who is super-rich. And most of the time, its difficult for most of these women to wade him off, as he has a very irresistible physique with charisma to go with it.
There is another instance of another Island based hairstylist called Donald who has also joined the league of stylist who indulge in illicit affairs with their customers. According to what was gathered, he was very naïve when he just came into the industry. The whole thing started when a particular customer who used to come to his salon on the Island who was very fond of him began to lavish him with money when she comes to his salon. Then she invited him over to her house for home service. Sources revealed that while he was making the hair, the woman started making sexual advances at him, since the husband was not around and the children have gone to school. It all started with the woman demanding for massage, but they both got carried away and ended up having sex. He became her regular and she has kept this thrilling affair discretely from the husband. In return, the woman also transformed his business by getting him a bigger salon, still on the Island, and a car among other gifts.
According to an older hairstylist in the business who spoke to City People, he confirmed that all these things have actually been going on for a while now, and it has become more rampant because more of these guys involve in this act are younger boys who are eager to make quick money. “Men who have affairs with their clients are usually new in the industry and excitable. When you have a reputation to protect as a professional hairdresser, you do not behave inappropriately with your customers. Even when a customer comes on to you, you keep it strictly business.”
But for these young guys, that does not seem to matter; as all want to do is to collect money from these women in exchange for sex, as there is no string attached.
