Beauty
care entrepreneur Jacqueline Goh started her business from a single
table in a Penang shopping mall. Five years later, the La Herballe
brand she created had begun distributing products throughout
Malaysia, and even the world via online mall.
This
year the brand celebrates its 8th
anniversary with Jac as the company group managing director and
licensor for the La Herballe skin/beauty salon, which uses Japanese
products first formulated over 30 years ago. She studied business in
Japan as well as trained as a skin therapist and beauty consultant
there, and naturally had since moonlight as a Japanese translator
too.
La
Herballe currently has 1 outlet on Penang Island, 2 in Seberang Prai
and 2 in Selangor. It also actively distribute products through
clinics, pharmacies and other salons.
The
brand differentiate itself as the natural skin care/facial quick fix
for urban lifestyle, attracting people with its effective, light and
easy facial/spa experience at affordable prices.

We
are proud to have Jac as vice chairperson of NAWEM-PAN since its
inception. Last year she was a recipient of NAWEM-HSBC skill training
grant worth RM30,000. This allowed 10 eligible women in Penang to
receive La Herballe beauty care training to enable them to at least
start a home-based business, beauty kiosk or salon.
Certainly
Jac has under her belt enough business experience and acumen to
inspire other women. She had a regular job when she first started her
business. “I would get up in the morning and go to my normal job as
a PA/translator in factory uniform, and in the afternoon change into
my skin therapist/consultant attire... in high heels.” For La
Herballe, it had taken courage, effort, determination, belief in the
products and the right image to succeed, Jac added.

She
recently applied for another NAWEM grant and hopes to train the next
batch of deserving women entrepreneur wannabes. Jac has also been
mulling on writing a women entrepreneur's guide titled 'The Warrior
In Me...in High Heels.' We only wish she would get to it soon so more
women can benefit from the La Herballe experience.
Meanwhile
her company has, through NAWEM assistance, also received a SME Corp
grant for La Herballe to obtain Franchise licence and ISO 9001
certification. For some immediate sharing with Jac, come join PAN
sharing session this month on 'How to maximize your benefits being a
member of NAWEM?'
