What’s the Difference Between Sugaring and Waxing?

🍯 Sugaring

Sugaring is an ancient, all-natural method of hair removal using a paste made from sugar, lemon, and water. It’s applied against the direction of hair growth and removed with the direction, which helps prevent breakage and ingrown hairs.

Ideal for: Sensitive skin, fine to medium hair, and areas prone to irritation like the bikini line or face.

Benefits of Sugaring:

  • Gentle on skin
  • Minimizes ingrown hairs
  • Naturally exfoliates
  • Less risk of irritation
  • Hair grows back softer and sparser over time

🕯️ Waxing

Waxing uses either hard or soft wax to remove hair from the root. It’s quick, efficient, and perfect for covering larger areas like legs, arms, or the back.

Ideal for: Coarse or thick hair, larger treatment areas, or clients wanting faster results.

Benefits of Waxing:

  • Quick treatment time
  • Longer-lasting results than shaving
  • Thins hair over time
  • Removes dead skin for a smoother finish

Am I a Good Candidate?

Almost anyone can benefit from professional hair removal. You may be an ideal candidate for sugaring or waxing if you:

  • Are tired of shaving, razor burn, or ingrown hairs
  • Want smoother skin that lasts for weeks
  • Prefer natural ingredients (sugaring)
  • Have an event coming up and want to feel confident

Please avoid booking if:

  • You have sunburn, open wounds, or skin infections
  • You’ve used Retin-A or Accutane within the past 6 months
  • You’re experiencing active inflammation or rashes in the area

How Should I Prepare?

  • Exfoliate the area gently 24 hours before your appointment
  • Avoid lotion, oils, or heavy skincare the day of your visit
  • Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about the size of a grain of rice)
  • Avoid caffeine before your appointment—it can make you more sensitive

What to Expect After

  • Skin may be slightly red or sensitive
  • Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours
  • Wear loose clothing and apply aloe or our post-care recommendations
  • Stay out of direct sun exposure
  • Exfoliate regularly to prevent ingrowns

Frequently Asked Questions

Does sugaring hurt less than waxing?

Many clients say yes! Because sugaring removes hair in the natural direction of growth, it tends to cause less irritation and pain.

How long will my results last?

Typically 3–4 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. With consistent treatments, hair may grow back finer and more sparse.

Can I get waxed or sugared on my period?

Yes, but you may be more sensitive. We recommend wearing a tampon or cup if getting a Brazilian.

Can I get a vajacial with my wax?

Absolutely—and we recommend it! Pairing a vajacial with your Brazilian wax helps calm the skin, reduce irritation, and treat ingrowns.

Smooth skin is self-care

You don’t need to suffer through harsh razors or expensive at-home kits. We’ve created a hair removal experience that’s luxurious, respectful of your skin, and leaves you feeling your absolute best.
