Thanks to movement restrictions to curb the spread of Covid-19, we have learned to do many things without having to depend on businesses that have to stop operations during lockdowns.
Many have learned to cook and cultivated an interest in gardening. With salons closed, hair treatment becomes something customers do at home.
And along that same line, a local company has released Sweet Peachier, a hair removal device that uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, often used in hair waxing salons.
Founders Kon Fa Rong, 22 and Yap Yuen Yi, 22 started their business during the first Movement Control Order (MCO), last year.
Kon says their aim is to make long-term hair removal accessible and affordable for everyone. "As someone who has been in-and-out of beauty salons trying out different hair removal procedures, I really wanted to provide everyone with an easier but effective option,"
"A lot of people are still using hair removal creams, wax and even blades. We wanted to provide not only a safer and more convenient solution, but one that will have long-term results. And with the first MCO in place, the timing was right. Customers who want hair removal services can do so themselves even when they are not able to access salons," he says.
Sweet Peachier is a hand-held device for body and face hair removal. Compact, portable and sleek, it targets melanin in hair follicles and removes re-growth of hair in a minimum of eight sessions, one session a week. It's more affordable compared to long-term hair removal services provided by beauty salons and works just as well on any body part with hair growth.
Treatment is pain-free and every device has a 10-year lifespan with one year warranty. Since the brand's inception, over 3,000 devices have been sold. While 80 per cent of its customers are based in Malaysia, Sweet Peachier is picking up traction in Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia.
The Sweet Peachier Premium IPL Laser Hair Removal Handset and Sweet Peachier Plus IPL Laser Hair Removal Handset retail at RM430 and RM530 respectively.
The devices can be paid in three monthly installments with hoolah.
