Black-Owned Business Spotlight: Fabiola Hinton from SimplyFabilous

-


 

All black, all day, every day! Our mission is to promote black-owned businesses until the wheels fall off! So, here we are again! Today we blog about Fabiola Hinton, a true boss babe, Fabiola is the owner and founder of beauty and fashion accessory brand, SimplyFabilous. Fabiola, a Haitian-born Canadian moved to Canada in 2008 and she launched SimplyFabilous as a physical store in 2017. Today, we give Fabiola all the props for her courage and tenacity, running a business is definitely not for the faint-hearted!

The Story 

As we stated above, Fabiola was born in Haiti but moved to Canada in 2008 to pursue education. Upon finishing high school she pursued a career as an aesthetician, inspired by her sister who is a cosmetologist, Fabiola took that path before deciding that she wanted to launch her own business. The inspiration came when she was tasked with creating a spa business plan for a college assignment. She made the decision to transform her dreams from concept to reality. 

The company started life as a storefront in Ontario, Canada. However, after some time and reflection, Fabiola decided to close the store and launch as an exclusive online store instead. The brand continues to retail beauty and fashion products from its online store. 

Gaining over 10k Instagram followers in less than a year, Fabiola has worked hard to push the brand to its current heights. The products are cruelty-free and non-toxic and the makeup colors are inspired by Fabiola's family members.

 Iftiimo is an Australian-based black-owned natural beauty brand. Qatan Sagaale, a clinical research professional and beauty enthusiast, created the brand. With a strong background in clinical research and a strong passion for beauty, the combination of beauty and clinical research made perfect sense. As a result, a line of highly researched, high-quality skincare and haircare products made with the finest natural ingredients has been created. The exceptional, almost poetic brand name "Iftiimo" was inspired by the Somali word "Iftiin," which means "to shine, glow, or light."

After years of frustration, deliberation, and experimentation, Qatan was inspired to create Iftiimo. The realization that the hair and skincare markets lacked high-quality naturally derived products that catered to people of color fueled the brand's growth. Ifti
