What is sugaring you ask?
Body sugaring is the ancient art of hair removal and is performed using a thick paste consisting of sugar, lemon and water. The ball of paste is applied by hand and molded against the natural direction of hair growth. Then, with a quick flick of the wrist, the sugar is removed in the direction of growth, taking the entire hair and root with it. The same ball of sugar paste is used over and over again until the undesired hair has been removed.
Though not painless, sugaring tends to be considerably less painful than waxing because the paste does not adhere to live skin and is removed in the direction of hair growth to reduce the occurrence of ingrown hairs. Removing the hair in the direction of growth has another advantage: there is little to no hair breakage resulting in long-lasting results.
How long does my hair need to be?
We recommend your hair being at least 1/8-1/4 of an inch for optimal hair removal. For most people this is usually around 2 weeks of growth.
How often will I need body-sugaring treatments?
Your consultant will be pleased to discuss free of charge and without obligation, a program of treatments to meet your specific needs. Typically, appointments are scheduled 4-6 weeks apart, since individual hair growth varies from one person to another.
How important are your first 3 appointments?
If you are planning to use Body Sugaring to soften or reduce hair, it is important that your first 3 Sugaring sessions be booked fairly close together. These are your most important bookings, as they will quickly reduce the amount of overall hair and soften coarse, stubborn hair. For best results, begin booking your treatments 6 to 9 months prior to the date that you would like to see optimal results, for example: a vacation, a wedding date, or the summer season. Regular sugar treatments result in a less painful, more thorough removal of hairs, and allows for slower growth of hair which can, in some cases, lead to permanent reduction.
How to prepare your skin for treatment
Please do not use a razor or depilatory creams between appointments, as this will interfere with your goal to refine and diminish your hair growth and to have smooth skin. Regularly hydrating and exfoliating your skin between sugaring treatments is just as important as receiving treatment. You will receive the best results if your skin is healthy.
If you are pain-sensitive, please take your preference of pain killer 30 minutes prior to your appointment. This will make you relaxed.
Please shower to clean the skin of any excess oils etc.
Do not wear any lotion, deodorant, oil, or any other skin care products on the area you intend to have sugared.
Come for your sugaring appointment with clean, dry skin.
Do not drink alcohol before your sugaring appointment.
Do not expose your skin to the sun for 24 hours prior to your appointment, as we cannot treat skin that is sunburned.
I have been using Retin-A or Accutane…Can I still get sugared?
Unfortunately no. If you are using Retin-A or any other topical cream for acne on your face, we would not be able to sugar anywhere on your face. However…it is still ok to get any other areas done. If you are on Accutane or have been on Accutane in the last six months, we cannot sugar you at all. We are happy to quote you on a price for tweezing your brows. It is not recommended to have any areas sugared or waxed when on Accutane, as the drug shuts off all of your oil glands. This can cause SEVERE lifting of the skin that could damage and scar the skin.
What are the differences between all the bikini services?
A Basic Bikini sugar goes right up to the panty line or swimsuit line from the inner thigh.
A Tini Bikini comes in tighter on the sides and also down off the top. You can go pretty tight with this! There are a few options.
A Tini Bikini Plus is the same as a Tini Bikini; however, it includes between the cheeks.
A Brazilian pretty much takes all of the hair from the front all the way around the back. Feel free; however, to leave a little on the top like a landing strip or triangle if you would like.
Can I get sugared if I am under 18 years of age?
Yes, you can. However, you must have a parent/guardian with you to sign a waiver and that parent/guardian must stay on the premises throughout the service.
Can I bring my child with me during my service?
We love children! However, we ask that you NOT bring your children in with you to Sugar Sugar. We have implements and products that could be harmful to a child. We also want you and other clients to feel relaxed and let us pamper you! Thank you for understanding.
