Azar Moayeri, the founder of Parissa, was the first female Chemical Engineer to graduate from the University of Edinburgh. After leaving Iran to escape political turmoil, Azar made a home in Canada, where she noticed that hair removal solutions were all chemical-based.From her kitchen, Azar formulated Canada’s first all-natural hair removal product. Her husband manufactured the products while her children packaged the products at home after school. To this day, Parissa remains a family run business and has been dedicated to leading the charge as a global leader in natural hair removal for 38 years.
