Meet Our Founders

Diann Valentine is redefining luxury beauty through innovation, inclusivity, and joy. After building an acclaimed career in the luxury events industry, Diann is bringing her signature creativity, elevated aesthetic, and passion for transformation to the beauty space with Glow + Flow Beauty.

Founded on the belief that beauty should feel empowering, effortless, and fun, Glow + Flow Beauty celebrates self-expression while creating products designed with the unique needs of Black and Brown consumers in mind. As Diann says, “Beauty should be fun and light. Black women helped build this industry—it’s time we reclaim our place at the center of it.”

In addition to Glow + Flow Beauty, Diann is the creator of SLAYYY Hair, a breakthrough non-toxic synthetic braiding hair developed to address a common concern in the protective styling community. Clinically tested and 100% itch-free, SLAYYY Hair delivers comfort, quality, and confidence without compromise.

But the magic behind these brands doesn't stop with Diann. Enter her daughter, Riann Valentine—the voice, vibe, and energy behind the social media presence of both Glow + Flow Beauty and SLAYYY Hair. If Diann is the visionary, Riann is the best friend in the group chat keeping it all the way real. She brings the brands to life with content that's fun, fly, flirty, and unapologetically authentic.

Riann has helped build a community that feels more like a sisterhood than a customer base. Whether she's sharing beauty tips, behind-the-scenes moments, or keeping followers laughing while they shop, she makes sure every woman who interacts with the brands feels seen, heard, and included. Her fresh perspective keeps the brands connected to the culture, while her authenticity keeps the community coming back.

Together, Diann and Riann are more than a mother-daughter team—they're building a beauty movement rooted in confidence, connection, and real conversations. One brings the luxury. The other brings the vibe. And together, they're creating products and experiences that make beauty feel as good as it looks.
