Kempinski Hotel N'Djamena
Quartier Diguel Est
BP 6473 N'Djamena
N'Djamena, Chad
The small salon in this hotel includes
both hair and nail services and is mainly
staffed by Ethiopian women. It's not a bad idea
to make an appointment. You can make
a day out of it: the same women also
offer amazing massage services inside
the spa area, which includes a well-maintained
sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and gym.
There are also two reasonably priced
restuarants/bars in the hotel.

The Nail Studio
9 Bishop Aboyade Cole St, Victoria Island
Lagos, Nigeria
This salon is principally staffed by
Lebanese stylists and their Nigerian
assistants. Many women in Nigeria
(both Nigerian and Lebanese women)
wear hair extensions, so the stylists are
experts in putting in/styling weaves and
blow-outs. The salon is frequented by
expatriates and well-off Nigerians, so the
stylists are accustomed to working
with different hair textures. You can
order food and fresh juices from the
bar downstairs and eat while you're
having your hair styled. Also located
downstairs is a large nail service area.
Neither place accepts appointments
and you should expect a wait during
the weekends, holiday periods and if
there is a special event in town
(i.e., a big wedding or concert).
Eyebrow threading services are also available and are the best in town. A normal wash and set is approximately
USD 20.00, as is the price for threading.
