Sugaring
All-natural hair removal
What is Body Sugaring?
Sugaring is an all-natural hair removal treatment that has been practised for centuries throughout Northern Africa, Greece and the Middle East. A gel made from sugar, lemon and hot water is used to pull hair out of the roots. It is a more gentle technique that's a natural alternative to lasers, and one that lasts longer than traditional waxing.
​
Is Sugaring less painful than Waxing?
Our clients find that Sugaring is a less painful hair removal experience than Waxing because unlike wax, sugar adheres only to your hair and dead skin cells. You’ll walk out with the smoothest skin ever!
Getting ready for your treatment
Please read our Before & After do’s and don’t in preparation for your treatment.
Between treatments
If you are wanting to achieve maximum results we ask that you don’t use a razor or any kind of depilatory creams (veet or nair) between your appointments as this will interfere with our goal to refine and diminish your hair growth. Keeping your skin hydrated with SugarSmac lotion will keep your skin healthy and smooth.
What is your 24 hour rule?
After your treatment, for the duration of 24 hours we ask that you stay clear of the following things, SEX, SWIMMING, GYM, HOT TUBS, BATHS, EXFOLIATION or application of product (with the exception of SugarSMAC lotion) on treated areas.
After you are sugared your follicles are open and closing up over the next 24 hours. Very important to keep the skin clean and free from anything that could irritate it.
I have been taking Accutane, can I still be sugared?
Unfortunately no, if you have been taking Accutane in the last 6 months we can not sugar you. Accutane shuts off all of your oil glands and speeds up your cell division leaving you with little to no dead skin cells to adhere to.
I am under 18, can I get Sugared?
Yes you can! We ask that you bring in a parent or guardian in with you on your first visit to sign a waiver and then we will happily sugar you!
It’s that time of the month, Can I get a Brazilian?
Absolutely! Doesn’t bother us if it doesn’t bother you. FYI - your skin can be a little more sensitive during that time, but definitely not unbearable.
Can I be Sugared while I am pregnant?
Yes! Sugaring is completely organic and safe for our mother’s to be.
