Kennedy Zziwa has built a reputation as one of the most reputable hair stylists in the country. He ditched his computer science profession to become a kinyoozi. He is arguably Kampala’s most celebrated hairstylist at the moment and its no surprise that his Hair by Zziwa Saloon celebrated 5 years in business.
Zziwa’s choice of career did not just come out of the blue. He went on through secondary school, excelled at O-Level to the extent that he took on sciences in A-Level. However, his passion for the arts deep within was still blazing. It is to no surprise that he studied Fine Art alongside his science combination. He excelled at the sciences and was told to pursue on computer science at Makerere by his parents.
“In my final year it dawned on me that I either find a job after graduation or find a way of realising my hair dream before it was all too late. While everyone was finding a way of getting a job, I was finding a way of not getting a job but still survive, Zziwa said during the celebration party yesterday.”
According to Zziwa, he enrolled for a short beauty course at the Tina School of Beauty while graduation at university was approaching. After graduation, he decided to set up a Saloon along Kisementi, a decision he has never regretted to date.
In his appreciation speech at making 5 years in shaving the best haircuts, Zziwa thanked his staff for being patient with him and his customers for always supporting the business.
He also awarded his best staffs with certificates and medals.
