Lethbridge Company Hopes to Impress Celebrities at this Year’s Oscars
LETHBRIDGE: A Lethbridge company is making its red-carpet debut during the 2016 Academy Awards.
Halo Headwear was founded by Lethbridge resident Merena Johnson and her husband in December 2014. They make headbands with fun prints and a functional design.
“As a mom with small children, I thought about having something that we could wear when we’re busy, running around after our kids, we don’t want to spend as much time doing our hair necessarily. I wanted something that was practical and fun, that you can dress up or dress down,” said Johnson of the idea behind her product.
After being discovered on Facebook, Johnson was asked to showcase the product in an Academy Awards gifting suite. She says the organizers don’t let them know who will be there, but it could grab the attention of around 150 celebrities.
