Meet The Sugar Clique

Sara

Growing up with a passion for beauty, Sara received her advanced esthetics diploma from Elegance in 2006. Focusing on hair removal, she discovered an alternative method, body sugaring, and became a certified sugar practitioner in 2009. After quickly falling in love with the all-natural product, Sara decided to specialize in body sugaring.

In 2010, Sara went a step further and became a body sugaring educator, taught classes at Sugarbush Spa, and was the educator at Fanshawe College. With over nine years of teaching and real-life sugaring experience, she acquired the knowledge and technique to prosper and be known as the “Sugar Guru.”

Sara successfully launched Sugarbush Spa in 2012, an elite spa dedicated solely to the art of body sugaring; it quickly earned its reputation for providing the best sugaring in the industry, servicing over 700 clients a month.

Encouraged by her determination to improve the products currently offered on the market, she established a strategic alliance with Western University. Sara knew that to differentiate and develop a professional product line; she needed to innovate the sugar paste formula. That’s exactly what happened, and in 2014, Sara founded Sugar & Co. with the desire to provide superior quality products and finally make body sugaring a household name.

Joanne

Joanne was born and raised in the Dominican Republic and moved to Canada at the age of 16. From a very early age, she was exposed to
chemistry as her grandmother is an old-school pharmacist that taught her how to formulate home remedies.

Joanne graduated from Brock University in 2013 with an Honours BSc. in Biochemistry. Her love for science, especially chemistry, led her to pursue her Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry at Western University. She graduated from Western University with her Ph.D in 2017.

Joanne began to work with Sugar & Co. as a research assistant in 2015 as part of a Mitacs internship program during her Ph.D. studies. Since then, Joanne has been working alongside Sara to bring their visions to life by creating all-natural quality body sugaring products for practitioners and customers.
