How much do wigs cost at Babe Wa Nywele?
Headband and fibre wigs start from KES 2,500, semi-human wigs from KES 4,000, human hair pixies from KES 5,500 and 100% human hair wigs from KES 10,000 up to KES 30,000 for 28–30" units.
Are your wigs 100% human hair?
We stock three grades and label every wig clearly: 100% human hair, semi-human (a human hair and fibre blend) and fibre. Human hair wigs can be dyed, curled and straightened like your own hair.
Can I try a wig on before buying?
Yes, visit the shop and our team will help you try on units and find the right length, texture and cap size.
Do you deliver wigs outside Nairobi?
Yes. We deliver countrywide across Kenya by courier, usually within 1–2 days, and we ship internationally on request. Within Nairobi CBD we offer same-day rider delivery.
How do I pay?
Pay by M-Pesa at checkout, pay on pickup in store, or confirm your order with us on WhatsApp. Nairobi deliveries can be paid on delivery.
Can I order on WhatsApp?
Absolutely. Message or call us on 0728 275 000 (or 0701 172 113) with the wig you want, and we will confirm availability, delivery and payment.
How much is wig installation in Nairobi?
Wig installation at Babe Wa Nywele starts from KES 999. You can add installation to any wig at checkout, or book an install for a unit you already own.
What services do you offer besides selling wigs?
Wig installation, wig styling (curls, cuts, bangs, updos), wig revamps, glam makeup and bridal hair & glam packages.
Do you revamp old wigs?
Yes. Our revamp service detangles, deep cleans, treats and restyles tired units. Drop it off at the shop and we will quote after inspection. Most revamps are ready in 1–2 days.
How long does a human hair wig last?
With good care a human hair wig lasts 1–3 years. Semi-human wigs usually last 4–8 months and fibre wigs 2–4 months with regular wear.
What is the difference between a frontal and a closure wig?
A frontal (13x4) has lace from ear to ear so you can part anywhere; a closure (4x4 or 5x5) has a smaller lace area for a natural part in one spot and is quicker to install.
