Her brand achieved a turnover of £170,000 year sales compared to £14,000 turnover before getting the offer. Sara made the right decision believing in her 👏🏻

[@coconutice7825]

Sarah shows that investing is way beyond numbers. Love her

[@eugeniocampos1732]

She shows that, but hope it actually is😅😅

[@salmivec]

Sarah is awesome..independently minded.

[@MrUPSman]

She just needed someone to believe in her. Very inspiring and I’m glad Sara had the sense to invest in her.

[@kingdomperspectivesmindset5595]

@Baba Hotep Not "do it all for her", learn what investment means.

[@amandadue3132]

@Baba Hotep your comment is gross and you’re clearly from America. 🤢🤢 skin has nothing to do with it.

[@veezuri1162]

I’ve been buying her stuff for months. Her hair products are really really good and especially for babies with sensitive skin . There’s so much more to her products that what she shared .

[@wiseonwords]

@Vee Zuri - That's great news! Thanks for sharing.

[@ns832]

I know this was ages ago, but the pitches are much much longer than what’s broadcasted

[@mariasharipo2464]

Sarah has the biggest heart. She is a real human, beyond money and she will get so much more reward from this life than other dragons.

[@tesstickle9895]

i love sarah she’s such a queen

[@josephvalentine7]

At least she think she’s a queen

[@gamewithadam7235]

Agree.

[@theyoungwolf9852]

Respect to her for doing this with no capital, a part time job and raising children. Her presentation was really good

[@nickkuper141]

Sara Will scale heights. People with a good heart go places

[@BeasleyStreet]

Dragon's Den is THE reality show...its the real world ,these are genuine life changing opportunities... Getting turned down at an audition when you are 18 is not the end of the world...Sara is not just a investor, she is a philanthropist as well, she is an angel...

[@svatisingh1]

Now I know where the term 'angel investor' comes from! :))

[@nabs3465]

Sarah Davies is just the most understanding Dragon ever, the show needed her 💯

[@G58]

The best candidate I’ve seen for ages. I love her attitude. Congratulations.

Her oils are a god send! I use it all the time I am so glad she got an investment

[@RobertHeslop]

Those little glimpses of Sara whilst the other dragons are talking, you can see her really thinking "I could help her"

[@zuprArpuz]

She presented so well. Whatever the dragons asked she came back at them with a knowledgeable, impressive answer. She just needed someone to believe in her. She deserved the investment ten fold. Sara is amazing.

[@drk7031]

I’ve been buying this brand for over a year they’re really good and concentrated , you don’t need much and it delivers lots of moisture,softness and shine . It’s nice to see the owner is such a lovely lady even happier to support her business . 💖

[@sarathtech91]

I've never rooted more for someone to get a deal. You just want her to succeed in life because she has so much heart & represents the underdog in all of us. I'm so glad she is doing well now. Bless Sarah!

[@deemiller5024]

Okay..real tears. This was soooo good💗💕

Glad I’m not alone! 😭

[@danieljohansson839]

Although loosing parts of her hair due to alopesia, she is now very successful in the afrohair buissness with a company worth £5.5 million. Sarah dropped down to 30 % after 18 months and continue to support the company with high priority. As for Deborah and Peter, they both regret missing out on the oppurtunity but still take joy in the success the company had. Since this program was televised multiple People with afro-textured hair has stopped straightening their hair and instead Take pride in their curls. The End

[@Dykhouse]

Thank you for this info. I am so happy her business has grown to such successful numbers! I am not shocked at all as she left zero doubt in my mind that she was being 100% honest when she spoke of how hard she would work to grow her business.

[@josernd-yu6sn]

[@lebomohlala8846]

I love her, she knows what she's really talking about. She definitely needed to pitch do she can share and stand for her product. Its important to do that for herself. And also to hear someone else reflect to her what she already knows to be true for her. Sending you love. You'll do well in your business.

Sara has a heart of gold. She always invests where she sees the entrepreneur is desperate for a lifeline.

[@bob2000and10]

So shes easily manipulated, got it.

[@MrTrig84]

I’d say she’s incredibly smart and incredibly humble. It’s not as if she was buying into a brain dead idea. So I’d hardly call her easy to manipulate. I’d call her one hell of decent human being. Well Done Sara, top draw!!
