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

Yes, we do offer male Brazilians at both locations.
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.
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.
We recommend clients come in every 4-5 weeks to get sugared.
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.
While getting sugared is generally safe, there are a few instances/specific clients who should being sugared. You should not get sugared if you;
