Hairdressers & Barbers in Nigeria

Hair services cover salon-based work, barbing, and a large and growing home-service segment where the stylist travels to the client — which for many customers is the deciding factor.

Services commonly listed include braiding in its many forms, from knotless and box braids to cornrows and Ghana weaving; weave and wig installation, including frontal and closure work and revamping; locs, from starter locs through retwisting and styling; natural hair care, silk presses and treatments; relaxing and colouring; and barbing for adults and children, including line-ups, fades and beard grooming.

For home service, confirm three things in advance: whether the price includes transport, how long the appointment is expected to take, and what the stylist needs from you — a plug socket, seating, and adequate lighting are the usual requirements.

Where hair extensions, attachments or wigs are involved, be explicit about who is supplying them, since that is where most quoted prices diverge. Booking ahead matters around festive periods and wedding season, when good stylists are booked out weeks in advance. The stylists, barbers and salons listed here have submitted their own listings.
