The Nigerian beauty and fashion industries are going through a revolution, in part thanks to Micohype Beauty Hair, a company co-founded by Oyeleye Michael Isaac and Headley Tammra Jean. Sourcing top-quality human hair from Vietnam, India, and China, Micohype Beauty Hair is making a huge splash in the market, changing the way Nigerians perceive beauty and self-expression.
Oyeleye Michael Isaac is a male entrepreneur from Lagos, who has worked in the area of cosmetology for over eight years. After serving apprenticeship in the field for a period of one and a half years, he has specialized in braiding, dreadlocks palm rolling, as well as in nails and pedicure. His in-depth understanding of the latest beauty trends has been vital in determining the course of action for the firm.
Tammra Jean Headley, a Texas-based entrepreneur with a wealth of experience in the transport sector, including imports, exports, delivery, and warehousing. Following a trade school program, she spent 22 years in logistics, where her knowledge of freight of all kinds, time sensitivity, and customer service has been vital in streamlining Micohype’s supply chain, ensuring that high-quality products reach customers efficiently.
Micohype Beauty Hair is now a top player in the human hair market overnight, providing superior products that allow Nigerian women to define themselves using wigs, weaves, and braids. The emphasis of the business on ethical sourcing has attracted buyers, creating a burgeoning market that empowers local entrepreneurs and offers employment.
The creative approach of the founders has not gone unnoticed; Micohype Beauty Hair was recently featured in Yes Magazine and City People Magazine as one of the most creative businesses in Nigeria. Their efforts to transform the human hair business are making a lasting impact, and the company is a force to be reckoned with in the business.
Micohype Beauty Hair is as much about people as it is about products. The company has created jobs across various industries, from sales to supply chain, providing financial independence opportunities to many, particularly women. By hosting workshops and training programs, Micohype is building business and employment opportunities for the people.
This exportation of hair has formed an ecosystem, networking sessions bringing business owners, users, and traders together. Among some of the remaining challenges include imitation products as well as evolving tariffs on importation. Founders are however optimistic about its future, including proposals to initiate domestic processing centers that will slow reliance on foreign products while producing high-quality product.
Micohype Beauty Hair is not just a business; it is a driving force for change in Nigeria’s society and economy. As the company expands, it promises a brighter future, empowering individuals and transforming lives along the way. With continued innovation and commitment, Micohype Beauty Hair will do even more to make a difference in the future.
