The Mind Behind HALAWA. Meet the Founders

The Mind Behind HALAWA. Meet the Founders

In 2019 Isabelle Côté and Kim Glode became the new faces of Halawa Sugaring, a brand that was founded in 1996. Under their leadership, the company underwent a transformation to adopt a modern and detailed image but still preserved the integrity of the signature sugaring pastes. 

In 2021, we expanded our product line to offer four unique textures of sugaring paste, to meet the diverse needs of your clients. 

In 2022 Miss Jen Inc. Distribution took over a global expansion. 

By 2024, our product line had further expanded to include skin care products: “pre-depilatory lotion” and “post-depilatory gel”, a signature handmade soap, and “Halawa At-Home Kit,” making professional-quality sugaring accessible to everyone at home.

At Halawa, we are committed to continuous growth and excellence. Our team collaborates with leading specialists to develop and refine our products and services. The professional product line is now available at missjen.com – our official distributor. This collaboration has not only strengthened our brand but also allowed us to expand our presence in national and international markets. We are passionate about sharing the benefits of sugaring hair removal and educating professionals and clients alike about this exceptional technique.
