MAKING THE SWITCH

Everyone wants to know why sugaring is the best form of semi-permanent hair removal on the market and how it’s different from traditional waxing. Don’t miss this class and the opportunity to equip yourself with a plethora of reasons to offer sugaring in your salon or spa!

Jarratt Haviland began her journey in cosmetology and esthetics after a stint in the world of nutrition research left her unfulfilled and longing for something different. A generous friend gave her the opportunity to just “get away” at her salon while looking for another avenue of science, where she accidentally fell in love with the industry and never looked back. Her career began in cosmetology, offering hair services and waxing, but one experience with a sugarist in a neighboring salon had her begging to learn the technique. Since that fateful sugaring appointment, Jarratt completely shifted her focus to esthetics—sugaring and airbrush tanning—and took a massive risk opening her own salon, Sugar & Bronze, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in early 2015.
