Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sugaring?

Sugaring is a gentle, all-natural hair removal method that uses a paste made from just sugar, lemon, and water. The paste is applied by hand and removed in the direction of hair growth, which helps minimize irritation and ingrown hairs. It’s safe for even the most sensitive skin and leaves you feeling silky smooth.

What’s the Difference Between Sugaring and Waxing?

While both methods remove hair from the root, there are a few key differences:

Ingredients: Sugaring paste is made from natural ingredients and is free from resins and chemicals often found in wax.
Application: Sugaring is applied at body temperature and removed in the direction of hair growth, reducing breakage and discomfort.
Residue: Sugar paste is water-soluble, so it rinses off easily with water—no sticky residue.
Gentleness: Most clients find sugaring less irritating and painful than waxing, especially over time.

Can I Get Sugared While on My Menstrual Cycle?

Yes, you absolutely can! Just wear a fresh tampon or menstrual cup, and be aware that your skin may be a little more sensitive around your cycle. If you’re feeling extra tender, consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever 30 minutes before your appointment.

Can I Get Sugared While Pregnant?

Definitely! Sugaring is safe during pregnancy, and many expecting clients love how smooth and fresh it makes them feel. Your skin may be more sensitive, so we’ll always check in to make sure you’re comfortable throughout the service.

How Can I Prepare for My First Sugaring Appointment?

Here’s how to get the best results:

Let your hair grow to at least 1/8" to 1/4" long (about the length of a grain of rice, or 1.5-2 weeks of growth).
Gently exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment.
Avoid applying lotions, oils, or deodorant to the area on the day of your appointment.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing to avoid irritation post-appointment.

What Can I Expect at My First Appointment?

At your first visit, we’ll walk you through the process and answer any questions. The sugaring paste will be gently applied and removed in small sections. You might feel some quick discomfort, especially if it’s your first time, but most clients say it’s totally manageable and gets easier with each session.

Does Sugaring Hurt?

Some discomfort is normal, especially for your first time—but many clients find sugaring less painful than waxing. Because the hair is removed in the direction of growth, there’s less tugging on the skin. Plus, the more consistently you sugar, the finer and sparser your hair becomes over time, making the process even more comfortable.

What Do You Recommend for Aftercare?

To keep your skin smooth and happy:

Avoid hot baths, sweaty workouts, and tight clothing for 24 hours.
Gently exfoliate 2–3 times a week between appointments to prevent ingrown hairs.
Moisturize daily with a clean, unscented lotion or oil.
No sunbathing or tanning beds for at least 24–48 hours.

How Should I Prepare for a Lash Lift Appointment?

To get the best lift possible:

Arrive with clean, makeup-free eyes—no mascara, eyeliner, or eye cream.
Remove contact lenses before your appointment.
Avoid using waterproof mascara or oil-based eye products for 24–48 hours beforehand.
