Question 1

How long does my hair need to before I get sugared?

Accepted Answer

Hair needs to be at least 1/4 inch long, or about the length of a grain of rice. This is typically around 2 weeks of hair growth.

Question 2

Can I get sugared if it’s “that time of the month”?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as you wear a tampon or a cup, you’re good to come in and get sugared!

Question 3

Is there an age limit for Brazilians?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we will not sugar a Brazilian on anyone under the age of 14. No exceptions. For a bikini or Brazilian service, ages 15-17 we require parental consent and/or require a parent or guardian to be in the room during the service.

Question 4

Is there anything I should do before my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Only if you are getting your legs sugared, we ask that you exfoliate your legs 2 days prior to receiving your service. There is no necessary prep needed for any other areas.

Question 5

How long will the Brazilian last?

Accepted Answer

If it is your first time getting sugared, it should last around 2 weeks. The goal with sugaring is to get your hair on the same hair growth stage. There are 3 stages of hair growth. The first time you get sugared, all three stages are present. It takes 3-4 months (3-4 services) to get your hair on the same hair growth stage. Once that goal is reached, your hair grows back half as much, it comes back thinner and finer, and you will be hair free for 2-3 weeks.

Question 6

I’m getting married, how many times should I come in and when?

Accepted Answer

We recommend you come in at least 2 times prior to your wedding. Most clients come in 4 to 5 weeks before their wedding, and then again one or two days before the big day.

Question 7

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Generally, sugaring hurts less than waxing. If you are concerned about pain, you can take an anti-inflammatory 30 minutes prior to your appointment. Also, avoid caffeine prior to your appointment.

Question 8

Can I get sugared while I am pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Sugaring is 100% safe to do while pregnant.

Question 11

How long does it usually take?

Most services are performed in 30-45 minutes, larger areas like legs and back take longer where smaller areas like under arms and eyebrows take around 15 minutes.

Question 12

What is sugar paste? Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Our sugar paste is 100% natural, made from sugar, lemon juice and water. Nothing else. You can actually eat it. Sugar paste is also water soluble so it can be easily removed with warm water and it has no smell, no artificial coloring, no toxins, and no resins.

Question 13

How often should I get sugared?

Accepted Answer

We recommend clients come in every 4-5 weeks to get sugared.

Question 14

Is sugaring that much better than shaving?

Accepted Answer

Shaving cuts the hair at the skin’s surface level, which regrows with a stubbly feel and can cause irritation to the area. This leads to itchiness, ingrowns, or possible infections. Sugaring pulls the hair from the root, so the regrowth comes back less each time, and it grows back thinner and finer.

Question 15

Are there any contraindications of getting sugared?

Accepted Answer

While getting sugared is generally safe, there are a few instances/specific clients who should being sugared. You should not get sugared if you;
1. Have been on or are currently taking Accutane in the last 6 months
2. Have cosmetic Injectables or permanent makeup procedures in the last 6 weeks
3. Currently are sunburned in the area you want sugared or have an open sore/wound/rash/cut
4. Have a new tattoo/piercing within 6 weeks in the desired area to be sugared
5. Are currently taking medications or antibiotics that cause skin thinning or photosensitivity. Consult your doctor if you are taking medications prior to your appointment
6. Given birth within the last six weeks prior to your appointment
