Read this article to the end, in this article, I am going to teach you how to start and run a profitable hair extension business or wig business in Nigeria.

In this article, I am going to let you know the start-up cost for the hair extension business, how to make profits from the hair business, and other hair business ideas you can do along with your hair extension business or wig business in Nigeria. Are you ready? Alright, let us start. Before I go into the article deeply, there are some things I want you to understand first.

And this is the difference between hair extensions, wigs, weave on, and attachments. Hair extensions, wigs, weave on, and attachments are not the same but many people usually confuse them with each other. First, you need to know that wigs, weave on, and attachments are all types of hair extensions.

Secondly, the sales of wig (wig-making business) are lucrative in Nigeria and this is because wigs are easy to wear and most times cheaper than other types of hair extensions. So if you are going into the hair extension business in Nigeria this simply means you are going to sell all these types of hair extensions which are wigs, weave on, attachments, and more.

Is Hair Extension Business Profitable?

There are many reasons why the wig-making business is lucrative in Nigeria. One of the reasons why it is profitable is because women love how easy it is to wear wigs. Because of how the wig is made you can wear it like a cap and dress it to a particular style and your look to go out is perfect.

So women buy wigs because of these reasons. Asides from this, women also prefer wigs to any other hair extension because it is cheaper and faster to use. In fact, a Nigerian woman will like to go for a wig for hairdressing instead of any other type of hair extension. So just in case, you are not sure wig business is a lucrative business in Nigeria.

Is Hair Extension Business Profitable? The hair extension business is also a profitable business in Nigeria for these three main reasons. The first reason why it is profitable is that the products are for women. There is a saying that any product that is sold to women will sell massively. This is true especially when it comes to fashionable items.

Women like to dress well and they like to look good. For this reason, women like to spend money on their hair. Another reason why the hair extensions business is profitable is that women buy plenty of them . Unlike some products or items where only one is needed per person, up to 10 hair extensions can be owned by one woman.

The third reason why the hair extension business in Nigeria is lucrative is that hair extensions are also used by babies, teens, and adolescents . Yes, not only women or ladies wear hair extensions children now also wear them thus making the market a very large market in Nigeria.

Capital Needed to Start Hair Extension Business

To start a hair extension business in Nigeria you need capital and the capital needed depends on whether you want to start a small-scale hair extension business, a medium-scale hair extension business, or a large-scale hair extension business. The start-up cost for a hair extension business in Nigeria can range from N300,000 – N5,000,000.  

The lowest capital I mentioned can be used to start a small-scale hair extension business while the highest capital can be used to start a large-scale hair extension business in Nigeria. 

How to Start Hair Extension Business in Nigeria

How to start a profitable hair extension business in Nigeria. The step-by-step guide.

1. Do your Market Survey

You need to do a market survey for your hair extension business except you want to start your hair business with no money. Your market survey helps you to understand your product and it also helps you to understand the buyers of the product. For example, your market survey helps you understand the type of hair extensions that are in trend, the ones women like, and the types that are bought the most.

The market survey helps you to understand how women really choose the hair extension they choose as regards the area they stay. Read our guide on how to conduct market research for new and old businesses for more details on this.

A hair extension business plan is also important aside from your market survey as it will contain details of the things you need to start a hair business in Nigeria. With precise capital, your hair extension business plan will inform you of the equipment you need and the kind of shop needed for your hair extension business.

A business plan is very important except you are doing the business for a short while or you are starting your hair business with no money.

3. Get the Capital Needed

I have already talked about the start-up cost for hair extension business in Nigeria. Now, let us talk about how you can get this capital to start the business. To get the capital needed to start your hair extension business you can either save up the capital or borrow it from family and friends to return the money in installments.

I strongly advise against borrowing money from microfinance banks or any money lending organization as the interest rate will be too much as time goes by. Asides from this, because you are not sure of how the business might turn out it is always safe to start your hair extension business with your own money so that you can sleep with your two eyes closed.

4. Rent a Shop for the Business

Renting a shop for your hair extension business in Nigeria is very important except you want to sell your hair extensions online using social media apps like Instagram. When it comes to a business like this, you can rent a shop, container, or space in a shopping mall. It all depends on you and how much you can afford from your capital to rent a shop.

When it comes to renting a shop for your hair extension business there are a few points you need to note. These factors will increase your profits easily as they will attract customers to your business. The first thing you need to consider when it comes to renting a shop for your hair extension business is to make sure you rent a shop in the right area.

Yes, you need to rent a shop where your customers (women) can easily locate you. This could be a popular area or popular spots like roundabouts, bus-stop, t-junctions, or more. Another thing you need to consider is the size of the shop and how much you will be paying there yearly.

You do not want to rent a shop where it will be difficult for you to renew the rent the following year. And you do not want to rent a shop that is too small. In as much as you might not be starting big, you need to rent a shop that is manageable for you just in case you want to increase your goods at any time.

Those are the two major factors you should carefully consider to increase sales and profits easily at the start of your hair extension business.

5. Buy your Extension Products Wholesale

After renting a shop for your hair extension business the next step will be to go and buy your hair extensions. Depending on the capital you have you can either buy your hair extensions from the market or buy directly from the hair extension producers.

If you are starting your hair extension business in Nigeria from a large-scale point you can be a distributor for the hair extension companies in Nigeria. There are different types of hair extension companies in Nigeria you can be a distributor to one or be a distributor to all of them it all depends on you.

As a hair extension distributor in Nigeria, you can be selling hair extensions to other hair extension sellers in your local area. However, if you cannot afford to be a distributor you can simply start by just being a small-scale seller and as time goes by become a distributor.

6. Profits in Hair Extension Business

If you are not starting your hair business with no money it will be easy for you to make money from your hair extension business easily and fast. But asides from this, there are other factors you need to consider to make big profits from your hair business despite being new to the business.

Some of these I have mentioned earlier but I will still like to explain more about them for deeper understanding and core remembrance. The first factor that I mentioned is to make sure your shop is located in the right area. The second factor I mentioned is that you should also make sure that the rent you are paying for the shop is not much and is renewable.

The third factor I mentioned is that you should make sure you are buying your hair extensions at the right place. In other words, depending on the capital you have to buy your hair extension from the cheapest seller closer to you (a distributor or wholesaler). If you have put all these into consideration you will surely make profits from your hair extension business.

But to triple your profits you can also go into other hair businesses alongside your hair extension business. This is called diversifying.

Hair Business Ideas to Start in Nigeria

There are many hair business ideas in Nigeria for you that you can also go into asides hair extension business. These are:

A. Wig Business

I talked about the earlier. The wig business can be explored alongside your hair extension business. It is either you buy your wigs already made, or you produce them yourself using a wig-making machine. You can buy this wig-making machine fairly-used or new. It depends on you.

B. Hair Accessories Business

Asides from the wig business, you can also go into the hair accessories business alongside your hair extension business. All you need to do is to buy show glasses and buy these hair accessories to display in your shop to sell. Examples of hair accessories you can sell are combs, hair creams, gels, hair ribbons, mannequins, and more.

One key factor contributing to its profitability is the widespread appeal of wigs among women. The convenience of wearing wigs, which can be effortlessly styled, makes them a popular choice. Additionally, wigs are often more budget-friendly and quicker to use than other types of hair extensions.

Nigerian women frequently opt for wigs for their hairstyling needs. This preference, coupled with the affordability and ease of use of wigs, makes wig businesses highly lucrative in Nigeria . The hair extension business, as a whole, is also profitable due to its broad customer base.

How to start a hair extension business in Nigeria

Learn about hair extension business and industry

If you want to start and grow a successful hair extension business in Nigeria, you have to know your onions.

So, I’ll suggest you roll your sleeves and learn the pros and cons of the business.

The different types of hair extensions there are – Brazilian, Peruvian, etc, their different sizes and texture and colours; the different hair attachments like the extension attachment and its variants, colours, and sizes, etc.

As in every other business, there are some technicalities of the hair extension business like how to distinguish one hair type from another. Get familiar with the human hair extension industry as a whole.

Your survey will help you find answers to important questions around the number of potential customers who will be buying from you.

How to reach them and how much you will need to invest in the business to meet the need of a segment of your target market to start with.

You may simply design a simple questionnaire and send it to your potential buyers to fill.

Their answers would give you a clue as to how much they are willing to part with to buy a hair extension; the average number they would buy in a year or six months, their preferred type of hair, their preferred inches, colours, etc.

If you want to start hair extension business in Nigeria and be successful at it, you need to satisfy a need of a certain group of people.

People don’t buy hair extensions (or even anything) because they love the seller or because the package is awesome. People buy because they NEED the hair extension.

If your potential buyers need human hair that ranges between 30-50k and you are selling yours for 200k-500k, then you need to look for a new set of customers who need this type of hair and sell for them.

The point I’m trying to make is that you should sell hair that meets the needs of your customers, not just what you feel is best for you to stock.

How to start a hair extension business in Nigeria      

Know your numbers and cost of your wig and hair extension business

Another step you need to take before starting your hair extension business in Lagos or any part of Nigeria is to count your cost and give numbers to them.

What would the margin be if you bought from China directly? What would the margin be if you bought from a wholesaler here in Nigeria?

Would it still be profitable enough for you? How much would you need minimum to buy a few pieces of each type of hair that your potential customers need? Etc.

China and India are the two main countries manufacturing human hair extensions in the world. So, you can either get from these two places.

Peruvian, Brazilian, and all other hair are just branded names, China and India are the two countries exporting hair to other countries in the world, especially, Africa.

But as for China, you could import from China and sell at a good price here in Nigeria. You do not need to travel all the way to China by yourself.

You could mini-import using websites like 1688 or Alibaba.com, or others. But make sure you use a legit mini-importation website to order your human hair products and any other items from China to Nigeria.

Find a reliable hair and wig extension supplier

One of the most important steps in starting your own hair extension business is to find a reliable hair extension supplier.

There are some hair dealers and suppliers who would be willing to sell to you at a reasonable price whereby, you would still be able to cash-out when you sell to your customers or even other retailers.

If you want to import from China directly, you may want to see this post on how to do mini-importation from China to Nigeria. But if you want to start with Nigerian suppliers for now, here is a list of hair extension and wig suppliers in Nigeria.

Add related items to your hair extension line

There are some other items that you could add to your human hair extension business like bands for weaves, needles, weave on oil, weave on a stick, hair treatments, human hair treatment, edges control, and so on.

Besides, it will also bring in some cash alongside which is not a bad idea.

Once you’ve decided to start your hair extension business, it’s time to start telling people about it.

Let your friends, families, colleagues, neighbours, and everyone you come across know that you are into the hair extension business and you have beautiful stuff.

With word of mouth, your message spreads easily and you never know where your message would get as quickly as possible and the sales it will bring eventually.

So, never lose an opportunity to tell everyone and anyone you meet about your business, no matter how awkward it may feel.

And that’s how you can quickly grow your hair business in Nigeria. Remember, your word of mouth must also be backed with quality products that give value to customers’ money.

Invest in marketing/advertisement.

If you really want your hair extension business to grow and scale, word of mouth alone will not cut it. You would have to invest in advertisements and other forms of marketing.

Happily, this is the era of digital marketing and social media has made things very easy.

I can assure you that no matter who your target market is, they hang out of some social media platform be it Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or even Instagram.

Why not spend some money on digital marketing, I.e. Google ads and/or Facebook ads, etc.?

Digital marketing doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg, in fact, it’s far cheaper than traditional marketing and it’s very easy to track the success of your ad.

You’ll also want to invest in your channel of distribution so that your product is effectively available for people to buy where ever they need it.

Rounding up

So, there you have it. Those are the few important steps you need to take when starting a hair extension business in Nigeria.

To begin a hair extension business, you must first gain a thorough understanding of your target market. Understanding your customers is an important step in how to start a hair business in Nigeria .

• You need to know what customers in a hair salon want and devise a strategy for delivering it. They want sew-ins or wig extensions, as well as the condition of their natural hair and any other factors that might influence their decision.
• Your customers’ niche is also vital because you must choose your products to meet their specific needs rather than focus on a wide range of things. Don’t be hesitant to learn about people’s hair needs.

• This is also advice on how to start hair business in Nigeria: in the beginning, don’t focus too much on making profits. It will destroy all your efforts. In Nigeria, the hair extensions business is a lucrative enterprise, but you’ll have to wait a while until your customers get to know your company’s reputation, and then gradually raise the price.

You need to decide what kind of business you want to run when learning how to start a hair business in Nigeria : online or offline (on stock or pre order). Each type of business has its own advantages and disadvantages. You first need to learn about the pros and cons of each business type so that you can be prepared for any eventuality when starting a hair business in Nigeria.

• Preparation capital for imported products is a prerequisite to learning how to start a hair business in Nigeria. Hair of higher quality will cost more than the hair of lower grade.

• In addition to the cost of paying for hair products, you also need to factor in the cost of space if you need to open a salon, or the cost of running ads on social networks when starting a hair business in Nigeria.

With pre-order, there is no need for too much capital because most people who order will pay in advance.

A good hair supply is necessary when starting a hair business in Nigeria. To ensure that your first purchases from consumers run as smoothly as possible, you should choose a reputable hair seller. It is necessary for planning and research to find reliable suppliers when learning how to start a hair business in Nigeria .

Here are a few tips and ideas for finding the best hair vendors:

• When learning how to start a hair business in Nigeria, make a list of questions you want to ask the salesman of the hair manufacturer. If they are trustworthy, they will understand the product well and don’t shy away from tough questions.
• Generally, reputable hair vendors will not offer you a discount that is very substantial. This is because the quality of the hair will be worse the cheaper it is. So be cautious!
• Don’t forget to thoroughly read and comprehend the terms of the payment, refund, and warranty policies before making a purchase when starting a hair business in Nigeria. It’s better to buy from a company that accepts exchanges or refunds rather than one that does not.

Non-remy hair extensions in Nigeria are made from hair from many donors and are not placed in cuticle-aligned bundles. These hair extensions in Nigeria, which have minimal manufacturing costs, are still popular in the market for low-cost items.

Origin of hair extensions in Nigeria

Hair extensions in Nigeria come from one main material source: imported hair. Local hair is cheaper, but often of lower quality, that’s why vendors supplying hair extensions in Nigeria import hair extensions from other countries, mostly Asian. And among those Asian countries, hair extensions mostly come from Vietnam, China and India.

Hair extensions in Nigeria from Vietnam

Vietnamese hair extensions in Nigeria are frequently made of 100 percent human hair, which is silky, lustrous, and long-lasting, making it the perfect hair for black or Caucasian ladies. They’re also lightweight and simple to wear.

• Vietnamese Hair extensions in Nigeria are provided with reasonable prices from a vast supply of raw materials. The hair was collected from healthy rural Vietnamese women. These Vietnamese ladies consume a high-fiber diet and live in fresh air, which keeps their scalp healthy and their hair shinier and more lustrous.

Vietnamese hair extensions in Nigeria are collected from healthy rural Vietnamese women.

• Vietnamese hair extensions in Nigeria also come in a wide range of products. To be able to satisfy all of your clients’ demands, your business must have a diverse product line. Customers visit hair salons with a wide range of needs. If your dealer of hair extensions in Nigeria doesn’t have a large range of hair supply, it will be difficult or take a long time to obtain your desired hair products.
• Vietnamese hair used to be collected by Chinese merchants to make into Chinese hair extensions in Nigeria a few decades ago, but in recent years the hair manufacturing industry is blooming in Vietnam, so Vietnamese hair has made a name of its own. Because domestic resources are abundant, Vietnamese hair extensions in Nigeria are not mixed with other sources, preserving their quality.

Vietnamese hair extensions in Nigeria is a good starter for entrepreneurs who want to build a hair business. Vietnamese hair factories offer hair extensions in Nigeria with reasonable prices for the best quality, with good product diversity.

Hair extensions in Nigeria from China

China hair extensions in Nigeria are the most affordable, have the shortest delivery time, and are the most widely available. Isn’t it a good deal? Not quite.

China has large scale production and a superb logistic system, which gives them a massive edge on the price factor.

• Chinese hair extensions in Nigeria are often made from mixed sources of neighboring countries and very often India. Chinese hair is mostly blended, which means there is some synthetic hair in the product, leading to a way closer expiry date and lower quality.
• Chinese hair extensions in Nigeria are often stocked in inventories, which is a huge advantage on their flexible delivery time and price. But this can be a bad factor for hair quality, as human hair has a certain amount of moisture in it, and leaving them in stock for too long can depreciate the quality of the hair.

Chinese hair extensions in Nigeria are often stocked in inventories

• On the sideline, the sad truth here is that there aren’t real Peruvian or Brazilian hair extensions in Nigeria, as South Americans don’t export their hair. China actually dominates the hair trade in Nigeria, and markets their hair products with other countries’ names. You can find out more about this fact from the book The Truth About the Human Hair Industry by Alix Moore.

For hair extensions in Nigeria, business owners who want the lowest price and the shortest shipping time, you could choose a supplier in China though the quality may not be as good as Vietnamese hair.

Hair extensions in Nigeria from India

Indian hair is the one taking up the biggest fraction of hair extensions in Nigeria, as a large number of Chinese hair dealers sell Indian hair extensions.

• Hair extensions in Nigeria from India are cheap and almost always available, especially raw hair.
• However, Indian hair extensions manufacturing has bad rep from unsanitary collecting practices, hence the product quality can be affected. India’s climate is quite hot and dry, so the hair can be weaker in nature compared to South East Asian people’s hair.
• Political instability in this country may also disrupt logistic services, so remember to check the news when you intend to order hair extensions in Nigeria from India.

In a nutshell, hair extensions in Nigeria come from 3 main countries: Vietnam, China and India. If lowest prices are what you are looking for, check out Chinese and Indian hair vendors. But if you want a reasonable price with better quality, Vietnamese hair is a go-to.
