The woman opening an afro hair salon in Cardiff after facing a long journey to get her own hair treated

Adesuwa Aghahowa moved to Cardiff from Nigeria to study for her master's degree and while in Cardiff she really struggled to find any salon that could cater for her afro hair. This resulted in Adesuwa having to travel to Birmingham or London to get her hair treated and when she could no longer afford the travel as a student, cutting her hair and changing her style altogether.

So Adesuwa decided that something needed to change to make Cardiff's hairdressing scene more inclusive for everyone in the Cardiff community. So she is setting up her own salon, Asakebeauty, to ensure that no one has to travel out of Cardiff or change their style again.
