Women in Business: Hannah Kelly

What began as a one-woman dream in a room inside Hannah Kelly’s home has become one of the Midlands’ greatest beauty success stories.

Radiant by Hannah officially opened its doors on June 14, 2021 — but the foundations of the brand were built many years before that. Armed with ambition, skill, and a clear five-year vision, Hannah transformed her passion for beauty into what is now the fastest-growing beauty clinic in the Midlands.

Today, Radiant has entered an exciting new chapter. Recently relocating to Blyry, Athlone, the clinic has expanded into an impressive 6,000 square foot unit. The expansion marks more than just growth in space; it represents the realisation of a carefully mapped-out plan.

“I always knew where I wanted Radiant to be,” Hannah explains. “This was the vision from the very beginning.”

Radiant’s reputation for quality and professionalism has not gone unnoticed.

Over the years, the clinic has proudly earned two-time Best in Hair & Beauty at Athlone Business Awards, outstanding Salon Award from HiStyle and Business Person of the Year awarded to Hannah Kelly by Athlone Chamber

While Radiant may have started as a solo venture, today it stands as a powerhouse team of talented women: Nicole, Rebecca, Ava, Daiane, Megan and Katie.

Together, they have built a clinic culture rooted in professionalism, support and high standards.

Radiant by Hannah has become synonymous with premium results-driven treatments. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of services including advanced skin treatment, brow treatments, lash artistry, waxing, ear piercing, makeup artistry, nails, spray tanning, bespoke skin consultations and treatments, bridal and occasion makeup and manicures and pedicures

Radiant has built its name on delivering visible results while maintaining a warm, welcoming client experience.

“Our clients have grown with us,” Hannah says. “Many of them were with me when I was working from home. That loyalty means everything.”

The latest expansion sees the launch of Hannah’s newest venture upstairs — Midlands Academy of Beauty.

The academy will provide professional beauty training, mentoring and business guidance for aspiring therapists across the region.

“It’s about raising the standard and creating opportunity,” Hannah explains. “I want to help other women build their own success stories.”
