First Lady Of Nigeria Aisha Buhari Closes Her Beauty Parlour

The First Lady, Aisha Buhari, until recently,
owned one of the biggest spas and beauty
institutes in the country. Situated along Camp
Road, a high brow area of Ungwan-Rimi
Government Residential Area in Kaduna State.
She owned Hanzy Spa and Hanzy Beauty
Institute. The beauty Institute was the first
beauty institute in Northern Nigeria and is a
National Board of Technical Education
accredited vocational training centre and
registered by the Ministry of Education with the
aim of exploring the untapped wealth in the
emerging beauty industry.
However, since the victory of her husband in
late March, Mrs. Buhari closed down the
beauty parlour to take up the new role as
Nigeria’s First Lady. The spa and beauty
institute patronised by individuals across
class, was sighted closed to the private
residence of the immediate past Vice
President, Namadi Sambo. The institute was
consulted by the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation/Kaduna Refining and
Petrochemical Company to help train
individuals under its Youth Empowerment and
Skill Acquisition Programme.
Ms. Buhari, a trained esthetician who obtained
a diploma in Beauty Therapy from the Carlton
Institute of Beauty Therapy, Windsor, United
Kingdom and a certificate course from the
French Beauty School, Esthetique Academie
Dubai, is a member of the United Kingdom’s
Vocational Training and Charitable Trust and
the International Health and Beauty Council.
In an interview she granted Thisday Style last
year, the beautiful Adamawa State-born
mother of five said:
“I’m a very busy person who does her
things quietly. I keep to my profession
as an esthetician, managing my spa
and beauty institute both in Kaduna
and Abuja. I also personally perform
some advanced facial treatments like
mesotherapy, gold facial and
application of TCA etc. I have a number
of documentations on my experience in
this area including writing a book titled
“The Essentials of Beauty Therapy."
She has since closed her beauty businesses
now that she has bigger responsibilities as the
First lady of Nigeria,
