Hiya,
Ladies, how are you doing?? Lagos/ Naija based Hairlistas get ready for a treat at this year's Salon Day Out!!! It's on the 5th of June(1st Sunday of June) and will start at 12 noon up on till 6:00pm. Every minute of this year's day out promises to be enlightening, educative, fun and interactive.
We are using the Red Carpet Hall at Oniru( Four Points Sheraton Road),Victoria Island. It's a huge marquee so there will be so much space as I promised last year, no standing except you are shopping around! So yes, there will be vendors all around the hall, from hair product vendors to skin care to makeup to FOOD!! Yes this year there's a food court with different orishirishi so no one is left starving!
We have the following activities planned that will be taking place on stage-
12:30- 2pm- The Hair Journey Series- Just as last year, I've selected 4 Hairlistas who will share all about their hair journey from the beginning to where they are now, they will also take questions and share everything they know from regimens to products and general hair care advice!!
2pm-2:30pm will be a presentation by Natural Nigerian on the topic-The Nigerian Hairlista's Evolution-Using Nigerian Products to grow your hair and the Naira.
I for one have completely switched from relying heavily on using imported products to where I'm using mostly Nigerian products or natural products on my hair and that's all thanks to wonderful companies like Natural Nigerian, Aweni, Namaste and Co. So it's only apt for the owner of one of a Nigeria's leading hair products companies to teach us how to make the switch and save our pockets from being drained!!
2:30-3pm- HAIR REHAB With Dabs LIVE- I've chosen two lucky ladies with damaged hair to work with all through the month of May at my salon, the ladies will have a complete hair makeover and the big reveal will be made on stage, the ladies will also share what they learnt all month long.
3pm- 4pm- BATTLE. OF. THE. HAIRLISTAS!!
it was sooooo much fun last year, so why not a repeat this year!! I'm tweaking the tasks a little though, for instance the Recreate Task will have Kemi Lewis of KL's Naturals create a style there on stage and have the teams recreate LIVE, the tasks will also be more interactive! Up for grabs are goody bags from the MANE CHOICE AFRICA worth over N100,000- from their vitamins to their growth oil, detangling shampoo, conditioner....their products are taking naturalistas by storm in the US, just go on their Instagram page, ladies are clearing the shelves at Target and Sally's so I knew I had to get them on board and they are very excited sponsors!! Savvy and Chic will also give generous goody bags and salon passes to the winning team, I've had a few ladies sign up but not enough to form teams yet. I need at least 6 more ladies, so if you are up for this adventure, please send me an email with the subject- I Want to Battle!
4pm-6pm- Nigeria's First WIG RUNWAY SHOW!!! Ladies, I'm soooo. excited about this!! Basically I've approached a number of Nigerian wig companies and they have signed up for this show. It will consist of professional models, there will be a runway like at fashion shows and each wig company will show their collection of delectable wigs!!
You know it's one thing to see a picture of wig on a mannequin, it's another to see it move, feel it's texture, check out the hairline and how it will look on a real person, well that's all what the show will be about and best believe the wig companies will be giving discounts on their wigs and you can shop away their collections following the show!! Wigs have been a tremendous help as protective styles for me personally, so I've picked my best wigs including Rileysee review HERE(all brand new of course) and I have Made a Savvy & Chic Collection to show also!!
You guys I am soooooo excited about this year!! Planning started a little late because of the new addition to my family but I'm so pumped now that it's a month away and hope you all are too!! To celebrate my 6th year of blogging, I will giveaway 6 gifts to 6 random attendees using a very fun game that is sure to get everyone excited!!
Tickets to attend will go for N1000 only. Please save the late ladies, 5th of June, 5th of June, 5th of June!! All month long, I will share more about all those involved in the different segments at the event!! Please stay tuned!
See you all there!
Xoxo
