Frequently Asked Questions About Sugaring

Clients under 18 MUST be accompanied by a parent/guardian, preferably a female, who can be in the treatment room during the service.  Signed parental/guardian consent is required.  

Exfoliating the skin a few times a week can help the sugaring be more effective and can help finer hairs grow in correctly, preventing ingrown hairs.  Staying hydrated can help with the pain level.  Trimming your hair to the recommended length can make the service go quicker.  

Consuming caffeine, alcohol, or nicotine within 2 days of your appointment can make your service uncomfortable.  For the best results, do not bathe directly before the service.  

Yes, absolutely! Sugar paste is gentle on the skin, tough on hair.  Coarse, fine, thick, curly, straight - sugaring will remove it all and you'll see less of it grow back in with each service. 

It depends on what kind of removal has been used prior to your service.  It is recommended to wait 2-3 weeks after shaving, and 4 weeks after waxing or sugaring.  The more consistent the sugaring services you receive, the shorter the hair can be to have removed.  However, transitioning from shaving to sugaring may require longer hair for the first visit to be the most productive.  It is recommended your hair be around 1/4 inch long, about 2-3 weeks of growth.  

Because sugaring is so gentle on the skin, most clients do not feel pain after the service.  Hair follicles will still be open for a day after the service to it is recommended to refrain from activity in pools, hot tubs, and saunas.

The estimated length for these appointments has many varying factors, including client comfort, hair length, and frequency of appointments.  

Appointments should be scheduled about 4 weeks apart.  You may feel like you want to wait longer between appointments because of how sparse the hair grows back in.  Doing so may cause the hair to be in the wrong phase of the growth cycle for the sugaring to be most productive.
