Meet The BuruBuru Lady Behind Mike Sonko’s Crazy Haircuts (Photos)

Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko has a knack for expressing his quirky nature with crazy haircuts but have you ever sat and wondered who’s the barber behind the flamboyant hair cuts?

Glittering bling bling, customized phones and vehicles, cool outfits, swagger and crazy haircuts, these are some of the traits that define Sonko.

The Nairobi Senator was the first legislator who broke the norms of Parliament when he attended sessions clad in torn jeans, sunglasses, studs and of course a ‘screaming’ haircut.

And it’s a BuruBuru female barber who is responsible for the crazy haircuts with bold colors on Sonko’s head.

The Nairobi Senator unveiled his barber as he praised her for her entrepreneurial spirit. Sonko says the lady started in Mathare but has since moved to a nice barbershop in Buruburu with a workforce of 5.

“Yesterday I passed by my long time Kinyozi guy. I had gone for a car wash but I ended up getting a haircut. While she was at it, she started giving me stories of how she started up and how the business has been since. She started in Mathare North in a small mabati shop and grew to where she is today.She remembers a day when she only shaved one kid for 10 bob having opened work at 7 Am and closed at 9 Pm. Today, she has hired 5 other young people and continues to mentor others in a very great but humble way. One thing for sure, when you step in her shop, you cannot know she is the boss.” Sonko heaped praise on his barber.
