SUGARING AND WAXING HAIR REMOVAL FAQ

  • What’s the difference between sugaring and waxing?

    Both remove hair from the root, but sugaring uses a natural paste of sugar, lemon, and water, and is applied against hair growth and removed with it. Waxing uses resin-based wax that is applied with the direction of hair growth and removed against it. Sugaring is often gentler on the skin and preferred for sensitive areas.

  • Does it hurt?

    Both methods involve some discomfort since hair is pulled from the root, but sugaring tends to be less painful for many clients, especially over time as hair grows back finer.

  • How long does my hair need to be?

    Hair should be about 1/4 inch long (about the size of a grain of rice) for best results. This is typically 2–3 weeks of growth after shaving.

  • How long do results last?

    You’ll stay smooth for 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. With regular treatments, hair often grows back finer and more slowly.

  • Can I get sugaring or waxing during my period?

    Yes, but you may be more sensitive. We suggest wearing a fresh tampon or menstrual cup if you’re having a bikini or Brazilian service.

  • Is sugaring or waxing safe for sensitive skin?

    Yes. Sugaring is especially great for sensitive skin because it’s all-natural and less likely to stick to live skin cells. We also use gentle post-care products to soothe the skin after either treatment.

  • What should I do to prepare for my appointment?

    Exfoliate the day before, avoid lotion or oils on the area, and make sure your hair is long enough. If you’re nervous about discomfort, you can take a mild pain reliever 30 minutes before your appointment.

  • What should I avoid after my hair removal treatment?

    Avoid hot baths, saunas, tight clothing, exercise, and sun exposure for at least 24 hours. Keep the area clean and apply recommended aftercare to prevent irritation or ingrown hairs.

  • Can I shave between appointments?

    It’s best not to. Shaving disrupts the hair growth cycle and can make your next sugaring or waxing appointment less effective. Sticking to a regular schedule gives better long-term results.

  • How often should I get sugared or waxed?

    Most clients book every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on hair growth. Staying consistent helps reduce discomfort and leads to longer-lasting smoothness.
