In business and in ministry, some moments test not only our skills but also our hearts. One of the most humbling experiences in my journey as the creator of Nyuki Hair Products came when I made a misjudgment in identifying a client’s type of hair loss. In my desire to provide a quick fix, I unintentionally created greater hair loss.
For a stylist and wellness professional, this is the kind of moment that can crush your confidence. But what happened next became the start of a testimony bigger than me—one that revealed the grace of God, the faith of a believer, and the power of redemption.
The Misstep
My client came to me with thinning hair. Instead of fully discerning the root cause, I treated her condition with an approach that wasn’t suited for her type of loss. The result? Her hair completely fell out.
As a CEO and trichology practitioner, I carried the weight of that mistake heavily. I wanted to fix it quickly, but God had already planted the true solution in me—six months before this moment even happened. In prayer and preparation, He had given me both a vision and the knowledge that would later serve as the key to her restoration.
The Grace Given
This client was a believer in Christ. Instead of anger, she showed me grace. She reminded me that God had already given her a vision: that her hair would grow back, and that He would use me as a vessel to do it.
That was the turning point. What looked like failure was actually the setup for a redemption story, not just for her hair but for my foundation as a CEO and servant-leader.
Rebuilding with Discipleship
As I walked through this process, God revealed that the work of cosmetology and trichology is not just technical—it’s discipleship. It’s about building people, stewarding trust, and walking in alignment with the Spirit.
Here’s the step-by-step guide He impressed on me, for both clients and licensed cosmetologists walking this journey:
Step 1: Acknowledge the Root (Clients & Cosmetologists)
-
Clients: Be honest about your struggles and symptoms. Don’t hide your pain out of shame.
-
Cosmetologists: Don’t rush to treat. Take time to discern the true cause, spiritually and scientifically.
Step 2: Submit to God’s Wisdom
-
Clients: Pray over your journey. Believe that restoration is possible.
-
Cosmetologists: Seek God first before applying solutions. Allow Him to lead your hands and your recommendations.
Step 3: Extend Grace in the Process
-
Clients: Understand that professionals are still learning. Grace opens the door for miracles.
-
Cosmetologists: When mistakes happen, confess, don’t cover. Transparency builds trust.
Step 4: Walk in Prophecy and Preparation
-
Clients: Trust the visions God shows you for your health and healing.
-
Cosmetologists: Recognize that God may give you solutions before the problem arises. Steward that wisdom faithfully.
Step 5: Rebuild the Foundation with Integrity
-
Clients: Partner with your stylist in consistency—healthy routines, patience, and prayer.
-
Cosmetologists: Rebuild your business practices on honesty, humility, and excellence.
Step 6: Testimony of the Redemption
-
Clients: Share your story to encourage others.
-
Cosmetologists: Turn your mistakes into ministries. What was once broken becomes a testimony of God’s power.
A CEO’s Redemption
This experience shook me, but it also rebuilt me. It reminded me that Nyuki Hair Products is not just about hair—it’s about wholeness, healing, and faith in God’s process.
What started as a painful misstep has become the foundation of a testimony. A testimony of trust. A testimony of grace. A testimony of God’s ability to redeem not only hair but also hearts and businesses.
To every client and every licensed cosmetologist: trust the process, trust each other, but above all, trust God. He already wrote the ending, and it’s one of restoration.
