It started as a casual conversation over a cup of hot masala tea in a popular Mombasa café about how ethnic women struggle to find a variety of good quality, natural, glamorous products specific to their skin tone and hair types all in one shop, be it in UAE or Kenya . Mmmm, I hear you say, ‘Tough call”.
5 months later, after scouring both planet and virtual planet for affordable yet excellent qua
lity products and listening to all the woes of women of colour in the UAE and Kenya, The Beauty Duka was established.
