Our Story
Ilaria Glow, created by Mehnaz Hawa, stems from a genuine passion for haircare, skillfully combining salon-level quality with a strong commitment to affordability.
After conducting thorough research and recognizing the benefits of my Hair Oil for my own hair, I felt inspired to share it with others.
This led to the birth of Ilaria Glow, unveiling our iconic product—the Glowy Grail Hair Oil. Formulated with a blend of seven essential oils, this versatile hair oil is designed to enhance the health, growth and vitality of your hair.
About us
Transitioning from a six-year stint in Civil Engineering to founding Ilaria Glow was driven by a yearning for a more fulfilling path. Battling hair fall due to a stressful work-life balance, I created a personal hair oil, which eventually evolved into the Ilaria Glow brand.
Nurturing Ilaria Glow as a side business amid life’s chaos brought me immense joy. Participating in my first market festival in November 2022 provided a taste of a different environment, ultimately prompting my decision to resign from engineering—a pivotal moment.
Ilaria Glow transcends being just a brand; it’s a commitment to affordable self-care. Our salon-grade products, proudly made in Cape Town, offer quality without breaking the bank.
The name Ilaria Glow, Ilaria meaning joyful, encapsulates the positivity it brings. It serves as my source of joy and is the perfect embodiment of a brand radiating positivity and well-being. Customer feedback continually inspires me; Ilaria Glow is not merely a business but a journey, propelled forward by your support.
Join me on this self-care journey, and let Ilaria Glow bring joy to your daily routine.
