D


oes the trendy start here? Yes, according to Nana Bempong, the Ghanaian owner of Trendy Hair and Beauty salon which caters for the growing and thriving black commu- nity in Milton Keynes, a small diverse town


just outside London. “I have been associated with many businesses


but I am now involved in the hair and beauty field,” explains Nana. “My aim is to inspire and promote African culture to be embraced, within a western community. I am trying to educate the community both black and white, about good hair maintenance and care. “I came to Milton Keynes six years ago and was


appalled by the lack of hairdressing and beauty salons for black women. Milton Keynes was a very new city with a lot of opportunities to grab and nurture. So I came up with a concept to have hair, beauty, barbers, and products all under one roof. Here at Trendy’s, you can walk in and be pampered from head to toe, literally,” she adds. Because of the diversity of its clientele, Trendy


employs staff from various backgrounds to cater for specific client needs and embrace everybody – hence its employees come from India, Ghana, Pakistan, UK, Kenya and Barbados. The salon also strives to use a variety of tools and hair and beauty products, which include L’Oreal, Kera Care, Mo- tions, Dark & Lovely and much more.
