Expert Sugaring Judges
Dalia Wagley
My name is Dalia Wagley and I am a Licensed Esthetician and Manicurist. I have been in this industry for over sixteen years and continue to find this work exciting and rewarding. I currently own businesses in this field and appreciate the hard work it takes to manage a successful business and a home life. I am the proud Mom of a sassy beautiful toddler who is the joy of my life.
Over the last sixteen years, I have developed a passion for hair removal and skin care. After attending cosmetology school, I opened my first Spa at the age of 22. Hair removal and skin care management have been one of my primary areas of focus to find the best hair removal method possible and refine the techniques used. As I have developed this expert knowledge, I found that the best way to share with other esthetic professionals this effective and gentle way of hair removal was to become an educator and consultant. I have been an Esthetics educator and consultant for the last twelve years. I find immense value and satisfaction in teaching others and certainly enjoy sharing my knowledge through social media platforms.
I consider my passion for esthetics as an investment in my client’s health that can last a lifetime. I take my work seriously and have spent countless hours working and collaborating with scientists and chemists to develop a gentle and effective ingrown hair serum, soaps, and other body products for my clientele. Hair removal and skincare are about using the best products and the right techniques. I take pride in keeping current with the latest trends in skincare and certainly product knowledge. It is essential that I invest in my knowledge so that I am able to provide exceptional care to all the clients I serve as well as the students I teach.
I am super excited to be a judge in the sugaring category and look forward to growing the sugaring category. I am eager to see what the contestants will present during the competition. I know that contestants have put in a lot of hard work, dedication, and commitment in preparing for this opportunity. Let us all make this competition as sweet as sugar!
Jarratt Haviland
Jarratt 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” and reception 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 left her begging to learn the technique. Since that fateful sugaring appointment, Jarratt completely shifted her focus to esthetics—sugaring and airbrush tanning—and took the risk of opening the first sugar hair removal salon in Louisiana in early 2015. To this day, Sugar & Bronze is the authority, with clients traveling hours and across state lines to be sugared by her incredibly knowledgeable and skilled staff.
After almost a decade in the industry and growing her salon to over 6000 clients, Jarratt shifted her focus once again to educating the community on the benefits of sugar hair removal and developing other esthetics professionals. She began educating in 2015 and became the Director of Education with Ke Kō Botanicals in May of 2020. Educating with the Ke Kō Ohana allowed her to travel the world and experience new cultures and challenges while sharing her passion. When the opportunity arose for Jarratt and her husband, Mike, to take over Ke Kō in 2022, they jumped at the opportunity to continue a legacy of sugaring excellence in education and product.
Her best advice? Go for it. Risks are scary, but on the other side comes either incredible success or invaluable lessons learned. And either experience will give you new tools to tackle the next great thing coming your way.
