Meet Ida Odinga’s Hairdresser Jonaice Masaki Whose Salon Video Is Trending On TikTok

A single TikTok video from a salon has put a young hairdresser in the spotlight, after she revealed how Ida Odinga supported her business.

Hairdresser Jonaice Masaki posted a clip showing her putting the finishing touches on the long, neatly done braids of the widow of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Mama Ida sits composed throughout while Jonaice smiles as she wraps up the look.

What drew attention was the caption. Jonaice thanked Mama Ida and wrote that she was paying her KSh 30,000, and that the money was for support and not for payment. She ended by asking God to bless her.

According to Jonaice, the sum went well beyond settling a hairdressing bill. She said Mama Ida handed it over to lift her hustle, treating the appointment as a chance to invest in a young woman’s livelihood.

The claim comes from Jonaice’s own post, and no comment from Mama Ida had been reported at the time of publication.

The video has gathered more than 9,000 likes on TikTok. Many Kenyans have flooded the comments to praise Mama Ida for her warmth and down-to-earth nature.

“Mama Ida is so humble. God bless her,” one netizen wrote. Another said KSh 30,000 just for support showed how kind she is.

Mama Ida has long been known for her accessibility despite her prominent place in public life. She is regularly seen visiting local markets, engaging with vendors and backing everyday hustlers.

For Jonaice, an ordinary appointment turned into a moment of encouragement that she chose to share with the country.

Does Mama Ida’s gesture show how leaders can back small businesses? Share your views in the comments, like and follow for more updates.
