In the spirit of Christmas and in desiring to be in a beautiful shape, a lot of women and girls are trooping in and out of hair styling salons and shops to make their hair.

At Eke Awka market, hair styling shops were a beehive of activities as hairstylists were seen busy making various hairstyles on their customers.

Some were also seen carrying out manicure and pedicure activities on some of their customers all in a bid to look beautiful this Christmas.

Speaking to the ABS, some of the hairstylists Mrs. Chinwe Ernest, Miss Favour Chineze and Mrs. Ukamaka Onuorah explained that their skills generate a lot of income for them but noted that the economic situation in the country affected the patronage of their trade.
