Description

Background / History

Oh! My nappy hair the salon became the brainchild of founder Rosario Schuler after she discovered a niche in providing natural (non-chemical) hair care services. "This is the hair that God gave us", she said.

"A qualified beautician should know how to deal with all textures of black hair." Rosario explained that black hair varies from extremely curly to straight textures, but she discovered there was no one accommodating these circumstances under the same roof. Thus, Oh! my nappy hair salon was born!
