SUGARING 101

Sugaring is one of the oldest forms of hair removal dating back to ancient Egypt.  The hair is extracted with a sugar paste consisting of natural ingredients: sugar, lemon, and water.  Unlike waxing, the sugar is applied against the natural direction of hair growth, and then, uses a gentle flicking motion to remove the paste and hair leaving smooth nourished skin. Pretty Sweet, huh?!

PERFECTLY PREPPED SUGARING

When preparing for your sugaring appointment, we advise following the steps below to help you achieve the best results possible:

 

CLEAN SKIN
Please come with clean skin; free from any creams, lotions, oils, deodorant and perfume.

HAIR GROWTH
Hair should be a minimum of 1/8" of hair growth (about the length of a grain of rice), or 10-14 days of growth.

EXFOLIATE
Exfoliating should be done daily EXCEPT before your appointment.  Please refrain from exfoliating 24 hrs prior to your appointment.

PAIN RELIEF
Feel free to take a Tylenol 30 mins before your appointment to minimize pain if you would like.

LASTLY
Please be aware that skin that has been sunburned OR treated with professional product like Retin-A cannot be sugared.
