Sugar Waxing & Waxing

Sugaring, sometimes called sugar waxing, is an all-natural hair removal treatment practiced for centuries throughout Northern Africa, Greece, and the Middle East. The esthetician rolls the sugaring paste—made from lemon, sugar, and water—onto the skin, and removes the hair follicles from the root. This is one of the main differences between sugaring and waxing: while wax bonds to both the hair follicles and surrounding skin area, the sugaring paste doesn’t pull on or irritate the skin. The process works on any area of the body, is safe for those who are prone to allergies or ingrown hairs, and is beneficial for people who typically experience razor burn or rashes. Sugaring is long lasting and can be performed more frequently than waxing. With sugaring, you need about 1/4″ of growth in order to have a treatment.
