Meet the Nairobi Salon That Has Been Transforming Hair Since 2015

In a city full of salons competing for attention, few manage to build a lasting reputation purely through quality and consistency. Glam Roots Salon in Nairobi’s Westlands has been doing exactly that since 2015 — building a loyal clientele through skilled stylists, clean premises, and fair pricing that has remained accessible as the business has grown.

1. Over a Decade of Consistent Quality

Founded in 2015 by a Kenyan stylist who trained in Johannesburg, Glam Roots started as a small two-chair operation and has since expanded to a full-service salon with eight stations. The founding philosophy — quality over shortcuts — has never changed.

2. Services That Cover Every Hair Need

The salon offers relaxers, natural hair treatments, braiding, weaves, colouring, and scalp treatments. They also stock professional hair care products including locally made natural oil treatments that have become a bestseller among regular clients.

3. Trained and Certified Stylists

Every stylist at Glam Roots holds a certified training qualification, and the salon runs internal skill-sharing sessions monthly to keep the team updated on new techniques and trends. Customers rarely have to worry about inconsistent results when their usual stylist is unavailable.

4. Prices That Respect the Customer

A full relaxer treatment starts from KES 800 and a wash-and-set from KES 400. The pricing is transparent — no hidden charges — and the salon offers a loyalty card where every fifth service is discounted by 20 percent.

5. Why Customers Keep Coming Back

Beyond the technical skill, customers consistently mention the welcoming atmosphere and honest feedback. Stylists will tell you if a particular style does not suit your hair type rather than simply taking your money. That kind of integrity is rare and it is what has kept Glam Roots thriving for over ten years.
