Should I do anything different before my sugaring treatment?
For your comfort, we recommend that you do not sunbathe (or use a tanning bed-well never use a tanning bed for that matter) for 48 hours prior to or after any sugaring treatment. Avoid putting any moisturizers on the skin 24 hours before the treatment. Also, some women find that their skin is extra sensitive when they are pre-menstrual.
  • Hair needs to be 1/4″ long or about the length of a grain of rice. This usually takes about a week without shaving or trimming. We always say, "the longer the better"!
  • Exfoliate the area before getting sugared (don’t over do it).
  • You may take a couple Advil or Tylenol before your appointment. This helps “take the edge off” with any pain or swelling during or after your appointment.
  • Don’t be nervous!! We will take excellent care of you and explain everything else when you come in for your appointment!
1What do I need to do before my first sugaring?
Please refer to above “Should I do anything different before my sugaring treatment?”.
2Does sugaring hurt?
Yes. but not nearly as much as waxing and it isn’t your skin that’s hurting, it’s ONLY your hair being removed that you feel for a split second.  It’s going to hurt guys. You are removing the hair from the root, which is a good thing!  You want a nice, clean result that’s going to last, right? Well, in order to achieve that, we must remove the hair by the root. After the first time it hurts a million times less because it’s like a baby hair again. We're very quick for your first time. You will be FINE! We never have had anyone quit! You won’t be the first.
3I’m African-American (Persian, Mexican, etc…) and my hair is very coarse. I’ve been told I can’t wax. Can you still do my Brazilian?
YES!!!! We work with every ethnicity and type of hair that you can imagine! We can do it!
4How long does my hair need to be?
At LEAST 1/4″ long or about the length of a grain of rice. This usually takes a week or two depending on the body part.
5Can you sugar any part of the body?
YES!! We have sugared every part of the body except the head! You name it, we can sugar it!
6How long do I wait between appointments?
The optimal amount of time between sugaring is 3-4 weeks. You want to remove the hair by the root while the hair is being nourished in order to discourage the hair from growing back! Some people come every two weeks!  There is different pricing if you come sooner than 3 weeks. Please inquire in person.
7Are you experienced? I’m scared!
Yes! We have been doing this for 20+ combined years of experience on our team! You are in good hands :)
8I’m getting married Saturday! Is Monday too early or too late to get my sugaring done?
Actually, Monday is perfect!  You don’t want to come in too soon (2 weeks ahead), but you don’t want to come in too close to the event either. Although irritation with sugaring is minimal, if at all, you still want to make sure to give yourself 2-3 days, if you can, before a big event. Don’t worry about coming in up to 7-10 days before your big event either! Sugaring lasts between 3-4 weeks before re-growth is seen!
9How long does sugaring last? (Hair growth cycles explanation.)
Your hair has 3 growth cycles. On your very first visit we get the first, second and PART of the third hair growth cycles. Once you return to get sugared 2-3 times we start getting all 3 hair growth cycles out at the SAME TIME! (If you feel any stubble whatsoever after your first appointment, it’s the third cycle barely poking out. Once you come back a couple more times we get them all at the same time.)  After your first sugaring, it should last 2-3 weeks. As you continue to get sugared you can go 3-6 weeks! Depends on the persons OCD and how fast your hair grows.
10How long will my Brazilian appointment take?
It usually takes me less than 15-20 minutes to do the sugaring portion of the appointment. We book first timers for 30-45 minutes to leave time for explanation and tweezing & any additional treatment on ingrowns if needed. Sometimes there are ingrown hairs that need to be fixed for people that have been shaving or waxing.
11Will the hair grow back darker and coarser?
No. On the contrary, the hair will grow back thinner. Sugar removes the hair from the root, thus discouraging hair growth. Regular usage, particularly during the winter months, will noticeably reduce hair growth and the re-growth takes longer to appear and is considerably thinner.
12Is sugaring safe?
Yes! The ingredients are all natural. It consists only of sugar, lemon juice and water.
13Can I use sugar if I suffer from psoriasis or eczema?
In this case it is recommended, to massage the area first carefully with a dry loofah to remove the scaly skin, then you can start with the hair removal. Sugaring is safe for the most sensitive skin since it doesn’t remove live skin.
14Can my daughter use it?
Yes.  It's so gentle and natural that it is perfect for sensitive skin. I have done many children for various reasons. (Cancer, being teased at school, sports such as gymnastics / ballet etc.) I usually consider ages 12+
15Can I get my Brazilian or bikini if I have my cycle?
Yes!  It is completely up to you. Some women aren’t comfortable, but if you are it is fine to get sugared while on your period. Just wear a tampon.
16What should I do after my treatment?
Exfoliate with a natural bristle pad or shower gloves in the shower EVERY day. You can also use a washcloth with exfoliating scrub, or just a scrub.
17Can the hair removal by sugaring last forever?
It is possible to become permanently hairless if you sugar yourself correctly and regularly. If and how long it will take you to stay hairless depends on several factors. As every human being is an individual, there are individual hair types, so it could be the case that you stay hairless after a few treatments whereas others may need much more. Also, the method you previously used to remove hair has a strong influence. Hair growth intensity is stronger in some areas of the body than in others; in these areas it will naturally take more treatments.
18I am pregnant; is it safe to sugar?
Many pregnant sugaring users still get treatments. There is no reason to stop sugaring treatments when you are pregnant. Many clients receive sugaring service during the entire pregnancy. (Great to do for labor prep to avoid being shaved before birth).
19Can I sunbathe, swim, exercise, or have sex after sugaring?
Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
20What is the difference between a Bikini, Extended bikini, & a Brazilian?
A Bikini is just the sides and the top. An Extended bikini is an exaggerated bikini. It doesn’t include the back. A Brazilian is everything from navel to anus. You can leave a strip or triangle if you want.
21Will I get bumps like I do after waxing?
Some people will still get a histamine reaction like they do with waxing. It usually isn’t a tenth of the reaction you normally would get with wax. Your skin isn’t damaged, it just can swell from the hair being removed from the root. You can take an anti-histamine like Benadryl before your appointment to prevent this.
22Can I sugar while using Accutane? Retin-A?
Accutane, no!  You have to wait until after you are done with your Accutane cycle before you have any kind of professional exfoliation. Retin-A, yes. You just need to wait a few days before you get sugared.

post-care instructions

You did it! You survived your first brazilian or bikini sugaring, now what?

What should I do after my treatment?

EXFOLIATE. Especially, those with curly or more coarse hair. Begin exfoliating 2-4 days after your first appointment using a natural bristle pad or shower gloves in the shower EVERY day. You can also use a washcloth with exfoliating scrub. We carry an oil free scrub called the bamboo scrub. It's great for exfoliating the entire body (just not the face, too gritty). Exfoliating is particularly important right as the hair begins to surface. If in-growns occur we carry several healing astringents that can be applied to quickly heal, reduce inflammation and redness. Ask your esthetician about PFB, Fruit Acid Botanical or the Clarifying Toner Pads to see which one is the right fit for you!

Will the hair grow back darker and coarser?

No. On the contrary, the hair will grow back much more fine (and sometimes sparsely until we get all hair growth cycles coming out at the same time). Sugar removes the hair from the root, traumatizing the follicle wall, thus discouraging hair growth. Regular visits will noticeably reduce hair growth, re-growth will take longer to appear and is considerably thinner.
