Sparky Eyebrows’ Early Life and Educational Background
Sparky was born and raised in Meru, with the entrepreneur publicly confirming that he rose from humble beginnings.
After completing his secondary education, the entrepreneur decided to join the Churchill Show but was discouraged by Terence Creative and Terry from pursuing comedy.
That did not stop him from venturing into other sectors, including business, where he started a venture charging as little as KSh 20 per service during his third year in 2018 as he pursued entrepreneurship alongside his studies.
Later, the entrepreneur moved to Nairobi, setting up at Lyric House on Kimathi Street, building a client base through affordable services.
Career and Achievements
In 2018, I made an online presence as ‘Sparky Eyebrows’ that was a blend of artistry and online persona.
He traveled within the country and internationally, charging up to KSh 10,000 per session, and during the sessions he promoted his Facebook.
His Facebook pages gained more than 140K likes and over 300K followers on the TikTok platform with his tagline ‘Let’s laugh as we work.’
Through his viewership and following on his online platforms, he was able to fund his Porsche Cayenne.
However, in July 2025, he criticized Kenyans over 35 who use matatu, calling them failures, which subsequently sparked outrage and a client boycott of his services.
To curb the client boycott, Sparky slashed his prices to KSh 5,000 to recover his earnings.
Further business challenges faced the entrepreneur as he publicly body shamed his wife, critiquing his wife’s beauty standards as well as those of all other beauty seekers.

“I can still work and feed our children,” Amelia stated during the Obinna Show.
Sparky also clarified during the Obinna Show that the wife left him due to her taking online content seriously despite being his best friend.
Further, he explained that he stays with his 6-year-old and 3-year-old kids, but the mother pays a visit to the children whenever possible, with a nanny taking care of the children who has been taking care of the kids for the longest time.
Despite the challenges, Sparky Eyebrows maintains a dominant microblading business in 2026.
