House of legends expands
Sadi Nkobolo is all about anything that has to do with beauty. The fashionista has recently expanded her product offering, and is now running the House of Legends Boutique and Beauty Spa from her new home in White City. Until recently, she was operating from home or was just mobile dressing her growing clientele through her House of Legends company. Today, Nkobolo is offering clothes, accessories as well as giving her clients an opportunity to celebrate milestones such as birthdays, bridal showers and drive through celebrations in their lives from the House of Legends and Beauty Spa location. An ever resourceful, business owner, she settled on White City location as she wanted a place that was affordable. The boutique part of the business offers clothes, and accessories bought from China. And the Spa side is currently offering beauty treatments such as Manicures, and pedicures. The products for the Spa are sourced from Planet Nails.
“I decided to diversify and offer these services as I want one part of the business to sustain the business,” she says.
Sharing her humble beginnings in
business, she explains that it all started in 2019. She was travelling a lot to South Africa, and she often got enquiries on where she was getting her beautiful clothes. Soon the enquiries turned into a business opportunity. She explains that one of the things that she was trying to do was ensure that she did not add a high mark up on her products so that they are affordable to everyone. Currently, as she is unable to travel and buy stock in China, she relies on ordering online which comes with a bit of a headache. It means that she is not sure about the quality of the product until she has received it. It is only then that she can price it. Buying online, she says, also comes with huge costs of shipping and clearance. “I mostly get good quality products, and the ones that do not meet my high standards, I price them accordingly,” says Nkobolo.
