Body Sugaring is an ancient art of hair removal dating back to the Egyptians. It’s a completely 100% natural, biodegradable paste made from lemon, sugar, honey, and water… that’s it!
The water-soluble paste is molded onto your skin against the direction of the hair growth, then quickly flicked off in the same direction of the hair growth using a special technique. Your unwanted hair is extracted and dead skin cells are removed. This gentle exfoliation leaves the skin smooth for weeks. Removing the hair in its natural direction eliminates breakage, in-grown hairs, and discomfort to the skin. Using slight lukewarm sugar paste, this process is comfortable, sanitary, and skin is free of irritation. Hair can be extracted as short as 1/8 inch. The results are long-lasting, leaving you hair free for weeks and with regular maintenance, can lead to permanency.
A gentle effective way of removing unwanted body hair, suitable for all areas of the body for both men and women. Ideal for all skin types, hair textures, and skin sensitivities.
Sugaring will become your new favorite form of hair removal. If you sugar consistently, after 1-2 years of sugaring, the hair growth will slow down, taking 4-5 weeks to grow back after each service. The first sugaring service is the worst as far as discomfort goes, with a 50% reduction in hair growth and discomfort by service number 2, and a 50-75% decrease in discomfort by your 3-4 visit. Keeping your visits consistent will guarantee quicker hair reduction and smoother results.

BEFORE SUGARING CARE
ALLERGIES, MEDICATIONS, SUPPLEMENTS – Disclose all allergies prior to service during intake.

Supplements like vitamin C can thin your blood, increasing the chances of bruising.
TOPICAL EXFOLIANTS – Stop use of Retin A, Retinol, Retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, Enzymes, Fruit Acids, Acids, and Peels 7 days prior to service. After the acclimation period, some sugaring can be done without a break, just ask your doctor for approval. Faces are particularly susceptible to scabbing or lifting if topical exfoliants have been used right before hair removal.
HAIR GROWTH – The hair must be at least 1/8 of an inch long or have 1-3 weeks of outgrowth to be removed successfully.
DRY BRUSH – Dry brushing is a very effective method to exfoliate the skin. These brushes are available for purchase at the salon.
