💇♀️ Run your hair braiding business from WhatsApp
Nigerian hair braiders lose money in three predictable places: regulars who "settle later" and friends who never get charged full price, a chair that was busy all day while the takings say otherwise, and appointments booked in chat and never written down anywhere else. None of that is a discipline problem — it is what happens when the only record-keeping option costs you time during the minutes you are busiest.
TrustAm attaches the record to the one thing you never forget to do: collect your money. Request payment in a sentence, and the sale, the customer and the stock movement are written for you.
What it does for hair braiders
- ✓Payment request from one sentence, paid by transfer, card or wallet
- ✓Stamped receipt to both sides the instant money lands — fake alerts stop working
- ✓Every sale recorded automatically, cash included
- ✓A debt book that ages what you are owed and chases it politely for you
- ✓A customer list that fills itself, with full purchase history
- ✓A daily summary each evening: did today make money
- ✓Expenses by voice note or a photo of the receipt
- ✓A six-month business statement you can hand to a bank
Pricing your work as a hair braiding
Hair Braiders on TrustAm typically charge in the ₦3,000 — ₦25,000 range, depending on the job and the city. Storing your price list once means a short request like “2 of the usual” is enough to build an order, take the payment and record the sale — consistent pricing, and the foundation for knowing your margin per job.
Get found as well as paid
TrustAm is also where customers look for hair braiders. A business that collects payment through us builds payment-backed reviews — reviews that can only be written by someone who actually paid — and appears in the marketplace across 13 Nigerian cities.

Common Questions
How do hair braiders in Nigeria keep track of sales?+
Most still use an exercise book, which is why most cannot say what last week earned. With TrustAm the sale is recorded at the moment you get paid, and cash jobs take one line by text or voice note. You get a summary each evening without keeping a ledger.
How do I track what customers owe me as a hair braiding?+
Record it once — the customer, the amount and when they promised to pay — and the debt book does the rest. It ages the debt, totals it, and messages the customer on the due date with a pay button attached, so the follow-up is not coming from you personally.
Can I take payment without a POS terminal?+
Yes. You send a payment request from a WhatsApp message and the customer pays by transfer, card or wallet. There is no terminal to rent and no separate record to reconcile afterwards, because the payment writes the sale.
What does it cost?+
Getting paid, the debt book and basic sales records are free. A business subscription for the fuller CRM, inventory and reporting comes later and is priced in naira, not dollars.
Do I need to download anything?+
No. It runs inside WhatsApp. Setup is a link, your details and a PIN — about two minutes.
