It's difficult to believe, especially when you consider his height. Despite the fact that his dreadlocks are neatly bunched, with only one strand hanging over his face, he towers over everyone at six feet tall.

He is dressed in a pair of faded black pants and a tan-colored pullover sweater that has seen better days.

The gentleman's unconventional personality can be seen in his grooming, which demonstrates his unconventionality.

In addition to celebrities and other high-profile individuals, Joel Kiyondi, better known by his Instagram handle Jay Jay, is the go-to weaveologist for the fashion industry.

It is his specialty to make weaves out of synthetic and human hair bundles, as well as leave-outs, sew-ins, and extensions for his clients' hair. Besides that, he relaxes and colors natural hair, as well as cutting and styling natural hair.

He has worked with a number of celebrities, including Kobi Kihara and Victoria Rubadiri, in addition to digital influencers such as Natalie Tewa, June Claire, and Miss Barakeila, among others.

Joel is the second of four children in a family of four. He is the second of four children in his family. He spent the majority of his childhood making fun of his sister's hairstyle. The hairstyles and braids on his sisters' heads were done by him, and he would do them himself.

The fact that hairdressing would become his primary source of income many years later was completely unknown to him.

In an interview with Nairobi News, he says that he originally intended to do hair as a side business, but he has been doing it for the past eight years.

Ashley's Beauty College is a hairdressing school that he attended after he was unable to earn enough money to continue his education at university level. In 2013, he received his diploma from Ashley's Beauty College.

Later, he traveled to Nairobi's Ebony Salon, where he worked as an apprentice alongside other hairdressers to gain experience in the industry.

Using social media, Joel honed his skills and developed his brand.

Anthonyhaircuts, for example, is a well-known YouTube user who, by watching his videos, teaches him new skills.

Aside from that, the weave master maintains an Instagram account, through which he promotes his work and recruits new customers for his company.

I believe that the use of social media will be critical to the success of my company. Instagram stories are a great way for my clients to share photos with me that they have taken. That is the path that my company has taken in order to grow to its current level of success.

His salon area, which is called Classy Lauren's, is located on Mama Ngina Street and is always bustling with activity, according to him. A total of eight people come into his office every day, and he is assisted by two other members of staff.

He has encountered a variety of difficulties as a result of his being a man attempting to make his way in a female-dominated field, including ridicule from his peers for working in cosmetics and the loss of clients who refused to work with male stylists due to religious concerns.

Despite the fact that hairdressing does not bring him joy, it does provide a means of subsistence and the opportunity to pursue his passion, according to Joel,

The fact that I adore my job means that Mondays are non-existent for me. I would encourage any men who are interested in entering this field to not be intimidated by the prospect of doing so.
