What Is The Difference Between Sugaring & Waxing?

Sugar is a natural product that only adheres to hair & dead skin cells. Sugar paste is moulded gently onto the skin against the direction of hair growth with a hand-held technique.  It is then flicked off in the natural direction of hair growth. This allows the hairs to slide out gently causing, less pain, less irritation, less breakage and less ingrowns.  

Wax is a resin based product that is heated to a high degree that adheres hair & live skin cells. Waxing uses sticks & pellon strips that remove hairs against the natural hair growth.  This allows hairs to bend backwards & breakage can occur. This method my be more painful and could cause irritation.

How Long Do I Need To Grow My Hair Before My First Sugaring Treatment? 

A minimum of 2 weeks of hair growth is required for treatments (1/4" long) Please do not trim or shave hair prior to your appointment. Also avoid using any lotions or powders. 

Does Sugaring Hurt?

The most discomfort exists on your initial Sugaring visit, but decreases significantly with each treatment thereafter. As your hair growth diminishes, becoming thinner & lighter, the amount of discomfort lessens and gets gentle.

 Will My Hair Grow Back Darker And Coarser?

No. On the contrary, the hair will grow back thinner, lighter and some will never grow back. Continual sugarings treatments will noticeably reduce hair growth and its re-growth takes longer to appear. 

How Long Before Hair Re-Grows After Sugaring?

Generally sugaring hair removal lasts between 3-6 weeks. Hair re-grows at different rates depending on your current thickness and quality of your existing hair. But over time, using Sugaring as a treatment will significantly reduce hair growth.  

Can You Sugar Any Part Of The Body? 

YES!! We can sugar any unwanted body hair from eyebrows to legs and everywhere in between.

Can I Get Sugared If I'm On My Monthly Cycle? 

Yes!  It's completely fine with us, just up to you.  We just ask that you use a tampon.

What Should I Do For After Care & How Do I Prevent Ingrowns?

We recommend using a daily exfoliate scrub 24-48 hrs after your treatment, then daily, until your next sugaring service (no mitts or scrub brushes)

Along with an exfoliating topical protection product containing glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acid helps the dead skin cellsto sluff off which keeps you smooth & protected.
