As we reflect on the quarantine period, it's clear that many of us struggled to maintain our personal grooming. Overgrown beards, shaggy hair, and unkempt eyebrows became the norm.

However, it's worth appreciating the hard work of our underappreciated Kinyozi and salon owners who kept us looking our best despite the challenges.

One notable example is human rights activist Boniface Mwangi, who recently shared a before-and-after photo of his barber's work on Instagram.

From a shaggy mane to a neat and stylish haircut, the transformation is striking. Mwangi's post has left many of his followers impressed, and it's a testament to the skill and dedication of our local barbers.
