Sugaring FAQ’s
If you’ve been curious about sugaring but haven’t yet made the leap, or you’ve been sugaring for a while and you have new questions, you came to the right place. Read on to learn everything there is to know about Sugaring!
So First off... What even is Sugaring?
Sugaring is a form of hair removal that utilizes an actual ball of sugar, known as Sugaring Paste to remove hair directly from the root! This Paste is spread onto the skin using a technique known as ‘molding’ and then is removed in the direction of hair growth with a quick flick of the wrist!
Why Should You Sugar?
We consider Sugaring to be one of the superior forms of hair removal. It removes hair directly from that root, meaning you will have smoother legs for wayyyy longer than waxing. It is also incredibly gentle, and won’t remove living skin cells, making it both safe and effective!
What Does Our Sugaring Paste Consist Of?
Our Sugaring Paste is a 100% all-natural blend of just three simple ingredients that you can find in your kitchen at home! Consisting of just lemon, Sugar, and water, our Sugaring Paste is so simple you could eat it!
How Often Can I Come In?
Sugaring can remove hair that is even shorter than most forms of hair removal. In fact, in order to remove hair via sugaring it only has to be 1/4 of an inch long. That’s about the length of a grain of rice! Talk to your Sugarist and she can make recommendations on when to book your next appointment, based on the area being Sugared! We like to say stop shaving the bikini area 10 days before you come.
I’m Pregnant, Can I Still Get Sugared?
Absolutely! In Fact, we have written an entire blog about the benefits of Sugaring When Pregnant. Follow the link if you would like to read more about it.
Aunt Flo is in town, Can I Still Come to my Appointment?
Yes, of course! You can get Sugared when you are menstruating no problem. Keep in mind some girls are more sensitive when they are on their period, but others may not even notice a difference. We just ask you to wear a tampon or cup to your appointment and we are good to go!
Can I Get Sugared ON Accutane or Retin-A?
Please let us know if you are on accutane on Retin-A. It is highly recommended that you do not get sugared while on accutane or Retin-A. Accutane causes changes to your skin that may not agree with Sugaring, so it’s best to wait until you aren’t taking it anymore and get the go ahead from your doctor.
I have Sensitive Skin, Is Sugaring A Good Option?
Sugaring is one of the best options for sensitive skin. It is applied just around room temp, but never hot.
Will My Skin Be Red After Sugaring?
It’s hard to say for sure. Everyone reacts differently. However, Sugar does tend to leave you less red than waxing. Since Sugar doesn’t adhere to living skin cells, it leads to less inflammation and a shorter recovery time.
