What hair removal methods do you offer?

We offer both sugaring and waxing services for various body areas. Both methods provide effective hair removal, but sugaring is a more natural, gentle option while waxing offers efficient removal for coarser hair. We also offer laser hair removal as a separate service for long-term hair reduction.

What's the difference between sugaring and waxing?

Sugaring uses a natural paste made from sugar, lemon, and water that's applied at body temperature and removes hair in the direction of growth, making it gentler on skin. Waxing uses heated wax that removes hair against the growth direction and can be more effective for coarse or stubborn hair.

Which method is less painful - sugaring or waxing?

Sugaring is generally less painful because it doesn't stick to live skin cells, only dead skin and hair. It's applied at body temperature and removes hair in the natural direction of growth, reducing discomfort and irritation.

How long does hair need to be for sugaring or waxing?

Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about 2-3 weeks of growth after shaving) for effective removal. If hair is too long, we may trim it before treatment for optimal results.

What areas of the body can be treated with sugaring and waxing?

We can treat most body areas including legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, facial hair, back, and chest. We'll discuss the best method for each area during your consultation.

How should I prepare for hair removal treatments?

Avoid shaving for 2-3 weeks before your appointment, exfoliate gently 24-48 hours before treatment, avoid sun exposure, and don't use lotions or oils on the day of your appointment.

What should I expect after sugaring or waxing?

You may experience temporary redness and sensitivity for a few hours. Avoid hot showers, exercise, and tight clothing for 24 hours. Apply soothing lotion and avoid sun exposure for 24-48 hours.
