It was an exquisite affair as the founder and Creative Director of KL’s Beauty Bar, Kemi Lewis celebrated 10 years of her hair care brand.

With an emphasis on education, empowerment, and innovation, the firm leads the way for a future where natural hair is celebrated and cherished; inspiring women to love, nurture and adorn their curls with confidence.
In 2012, Lewis made a bold decision to embrace her natural hair. However, she quickly realised that the natural hair movement in Nigeria was in its early stages, lacking specialised salons and knowledgeable stylists for naturalistas. This sparked a visionary idea.
She said: “My dedication to changing perceptions about natural hair marked a turning point for my firm and clients. Through innovative styles, personalised care, and a commitment to excellence, my brand started to make its mark. One memorable transformation involved a woman with thinning and damaged hair, who, after I cared, regained confidence and joy in her natural locks,” Lewis said.
Lewis’ commitment to education led to the creation of KLS Natural Hair Academy, where stylists are equipped not only with technical skills but also the core values that define the KLS experience.
As KL’s Natural Beauty Bar celebrates its first decade, Lewis looks ahead with a renewed vision, aiming to empower individuals globally through the expansion of her training academy. Similarly, she is passionate to share her product line, Groom and Grow, which emphasises the power of Ayurveda (knowledge of life) for hair health.
