What is Sugaring?
Sugaring is an ancient technique that only uses three ingredients: lemon, sugar and water. This all natural form of hair removal contains no chemicals or resin making it ideal for pregnant ladies and even the most sensitive client. Using a gloved hand, the sugar paste is applied in the opposite direction of hair growth and removed in the natural direction of hair growth resulting in less in grown hairs & irritation. It's luke warm temperature will NEVER take off live skin cells.
Why choose Sugaring?
With the many different types of hair removal techniques available you may wonder why sugaring?
Sugaring is one of the safest and truly natural methods of hair removal. Its organic and non toxic solution will give you longer lasting results without the irritation, redness and itchiness so common with traditional waxing or threading.

How do I prepare for a sugaring appointment?
- Hair must be at least ¼ inch long or long enough to grip between your fingers.
- Avoid waxing or shaving 3-4 weeks before your appointment.
- Skin should be clean and dry. Avoid using any powders, sprays, or lotions prior to your sugaring treatment.
- If this is your first time getting sugaring done, allow enough time after your treatment should redness or irritation occur for your skin to calm. Sugaring is all natural, and the most gentle from of hair removal, but there is always a possibility that certain areas can be sensitive and each person may have a different histamine response.
- Wearing make up for any face sugaring is not recommended because the sugar paste will not adhere to anything but clean bare skin.
- For Brazilians- using a gentle sugar scrub a day before your appointment will loosen any dead skin that might be clogging the hair follicle. Arrive showered or use personal wipes PRIOR to your arrival. Using feminine toiletries during your menstrual cycle is fine to use as long as the string is cut short.
Tips for after a sugaring hair removal appointment:
1. Stay out of the sun.
2. Avoid swimming.
3. Be careful not to over exfoliate. Sugaring takes off dead skin cells so over exfoliating can irritate the skin. Avoid exfoliating acids or topicals for the first few days. A light scrub or exfoliating serum 2 days after your appointment is recommended in all areas sugared except the face to prevent ingrown hairs (I love Ke Ko's coconut sugar scub)
4. Avoid the sauna and hot yoga
5. Wait a few days before getting a spray tan.
6. Avoid lotions, soaps or toiletry items with artificial fragrances or color.
7. No sexy time- Excessive chaffing from friction on delicate areas like the bikini and Brazilian area can lead to discomfort. Wait at least 2 days.
8. Opt for loose clothing.
9. Avoid intense workouts

What if my menstrual cycle comes during the time of my Brazilian wax appointment?
There are two options when this happens. First you can either cancel or reschedule within the 24 hour notice terms and conditions.
Secondly, you may keep the appointment but use the necessary feminine hygiene products upon arrival. I always recommend using the proper sized sanitary tampon to prevent any leakage during your appointment and safely cutting the string shorter to prevent any removal mishaps.
