Below are some common outdated myths about sugaring
Sugaring hurts more than waxing - With the proper technique and sugar paste consistency, it usually hurts less
Sugaring causes more ingrown hairs - Sugaring removes hair in the direction of hair growth, reducing the risk for ingrown hairs
Sugaring is less effective then waxing - Removing hair in the direction of hair growth increases the chances of permanent removal
Sugaring has the same risks as waxing - Sugar paste is organic, microbiome safe, & used without heat, eliminating the risks of burns or skin infections
Below are some important considerations for sugaring.
Do
Forget to exfoliate 48 hours after your appointment & every day following
Book if you are taking skin thinning agents
Book your appointment the week before or during your period (this can increase sensitivity during your service)
Don't
EXFOLIATE. EXFOLIATE. EXFOLIATE. Before & every day after the first 48 hours.
Allow hair to grow to 1/4 inch
Book your spray tan right after your sugaring appointment
Waxing involves heating synthetic wax until it’s soft enough to apply to the skin. The wax is spread on the skin and removed against the direction of hair growth, which can sometimes lead to broken hair follicles, skin tears, or burns from the heat. Sugaring, on the other hand, uses a natural sugar paste applied at room temperature. The paste seeps into the hair follicle and is removed in the direction of hair growth, ensuring complete removal of the follicle while gently exfoliating the skin.
Sugar paste is applied in the opposite direction of hair growth. Then it is flicked off in the direction of hair growth, meaning it does not break the hair backward leaving you with smooth, hairless skin. The paste itself is organic and made of just sugar, lemon, and water and applied at body temperature so there is no risk of burning. The best part of sugaring is that regular treatments lead to thinner, lighter, and sparser hair while decreasing discomfort.
Initially, schedule appointments every 3-4 weeks or when hair is about 1/4 inch long. Over time, as hair grows back finer and sparser, you can extend the time between sessions.
Sugaring is no more painful than waxing, and the first session is typically the most sensitive. After your first appointment all your hairs are aligned to the same growth cycle and direction. Therefore, after the first session, hair removal becomes easier, significantly reducing discomfort. With proper technique and the right sugar consistency, any pain is minimal and often nearly painless.
To prevent ingrown hairs, exfoliate the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment using our Baked Sunless Exfoliating Mitt for best results. After your treatment, we’ll apply an entire post-sugaring product line to balance and hydrate your skin. Starting 48 hours post-treatment, gently exfoliate daily for about 7 days to keep the area smooth and free of ingrown hairs.
Your skin’s microbiome is like an invisible shield made up of good bacteria and other microorganisms that protect your skin from irritation, dryness, and infection. Keeping this balance healthy is important for smooth, glowing skin. Traditional hair removal methods can disrupt this shield, but our sugar paste is sourced from the Netherlands and infused with probiotics and gluconolactone. These ingredients preserve the microbiome while effectively removing hair, reducing the risk of irritation and keeping your skin healthy.

Congratulations! Yes you can! Sugaring services are safe during pregnancy but please note you might be more sensitive due to hormonal changes but we will do our best to keep you as comfortable as possible.
Your hair should be about 1/4 inch long, or about the length of a small grain of rice. Hair that is too short will make it difficult for the sugar to grab onto and hair that is too long increases the discomfort that can be felt during sugaring.
