Two days after: With clean hands, moisturize the area with product recommended by your sugarist. Repeat daily to keep skin and hair soft. Best done right after showering

Three days after: exfoliate the area lightly to decrease the chance of ingrown hairs and dead skin cell buildup. Repeat 2-3x a week to ensure the best results.

How it works:

Our sugar paste is made with three ingredients: sugar, lemon, and water. It is heated to body temperature and never applied hot. The mixture is applied against the hair growth and removed with the growth, opposite of traditional waxing, to decrease the risk of ingrown hairs and irritations. The service does not require sticks or strips making it one of the most eco friendly form of hair removal.

The sugar works to wrap around the hair follicle, gently removing the hair from the root, providing a light exfoliation and sweet results. The complete removal of the hair by the root leads to thinner and more sparse hair growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Your hair must be 1/4th an inch or as long as a grain of rice. This is usually around 2 weeks of growth after shaving for most.

    Don’t worry if your hair is too long, I can always trim if necessary. Please do not trim at home, you may trim too short.

  • Absolutely! Just wear a tampon or menstrual cup and you’re good to go! You may be more sensitive due to hormone fluctuations.

  • Definitely! Hemorrhoids are very common and nothing to be ashamed of!

  • Of course this all depends on pain tolerance! Its not unbearable, its a quick sting. There is no lingering pain afterwards! The first is the worst- you’re nervous, you’re sweating, and your hair is thick from shaving. But the second is significantly easier! I tell everyone to try it twice! The results are worth it!

  • This varies per person, per body part, and can differ depending on previous shaving habits. A general rule of thumb is: for underarms 3-4 weeks and for brazilians 3-6 weeks. The longer and more consistent you have been sugaring, the longer it lasts!

  • Because of the clean ingredients and gentle technique there are almost no contraindications! Clients with hidradenitis suppurativa, hirtuitism, PCOS, and sensitive skin especially benefit from sugaring.

  • You must be off Accutane for at least 6 months before your first sugaring appointment. Almost all other medications are safe, but please reach out prior to your appointment if you have any concerns.

  • Absolutely! We highly recommend sugaring for pregnant women and the earlier you start in your pregnancy, the better! We can customize a schedule that lines up with your due date to make sure you are as smooth as possible for delivery. (
