Ep. 204: From Fashion Shows To Functional Fashion: Protecting Your Hair with Grace & Company

Friends in Beauty Podcast

On this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Kimanee Mason to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Born and raised in Westmoreland Jamaica, Kimanee moved to New York City for college and was soon discovered by Elite Model Management, shooting Teen Vogue the very next day. Her modeling career spanned over 15 years from runways to commercial work with top designers like Oscar de la Renta and Valentino. She completed her BFA in design at the New York School of Interior Design, transitioning into a career in commercial design at Perkins Eastman Architects.

Following her modeling career and studies, Kimanee launched Grace & Company, a design-forward beauty brand aiming to make products equally functional as they are fashionable. After experiencing excessive hair damage firsthand from participating in endless fashion shows and photoshoots, Kimanee found her new passion in addressing the issue of hair damage across all hair types by designing everyday products utilizing innovative materials.

Created with a unique blend of materials fabricated into a single layer of 100% premium performance fabric, Grace & Company offers breathable, washable, antimicrobial, and durable, water-repelling shower caps. The innovative brand also offers luxury hair accessories such as towels and anti-breakage scrunchies, perfect for your beauty and bedtime routines.

Kimanee and her husband Frank reside in New York City and have three boys. She is a woman of faith and supports causes aimed at elevating the worth of women.
