It is business as usual in the crowds-thronged noisy streets of Grogan in Nyeri Town,however amidst the noise from the busy mechanics repairing automobiles,something quite interesting grabs my attention.Curiousity gets the better of me and I decide to draw near and find out why the loud music emanating from a single point.There is a whole line of Barber Shops(Kinyozi) adjacent to each other located on the same spot.
On a single street there are nine(9) barber shops,all playing different types of loud reggea music.Amazingly,almost half of that number have clients having a hair cut.Talking to one of the operators,he confides in me that the loud music is a way of attracting customers and that everyday one must get their bunch of loyal customers."Why dont you relocate to another less competitive place?",I ask him.No!we like competition since it allows you to know whether or not you are making profit".Furthermore, they all have the same rates.
