Inca Glow

Angele Miller and Patti Shaker, from a small town in New Brunswick, asked for $250,000 for 10% of Inca Glow, a natural hair smoothing treatment they describe as a better alternative to keratin treatments, using a blend of amino acids and inca oil that does not require avoiding washing or colouring afterward. The product is sold through professional salons in a service they call a glow out, and the company has generated about $6 million in sales to date. They currently operate three franchised glow out bar locations and want to open 15 more, with a long term vision of placing the service in hotels, cruise ships and airports.

Robert Herjavec went out saying he did not understand the science, and Manjit Minhas went out because she disagreed with the franchise focus. Michele Romanow offered to buy the whole company for $1,000,000 plus a 3% royalty over five years, or alternatively $250,000 for 20% of just the product business, while Wes Hall offered $250,000 for 20% of the full business including the franchise model, and Arlene Dickinson offered $250,000 for 17%. The founders proposed combining Wes Hall and Arlene Dickinson's offers, and the two agreed to jointly invest $250,000 for 25%, which was accepted.

Inca Glow is still operating and sells through its website.
