What is Sugaring?

Sugaring is safe and effective new way to remove unwanted body hair. Alexandria sugar is 100% natural. So natural that it is even edible! The key to sugaring is the actual process. The paste is applied to the skin gently with gloves instead of sticks and then it is removed by pulling it back up in the same direction of hair growth, no strips are used, and it is less painful. This prevents any form of cross contamination as the sugar paste is thrown away after each use.

1. Shower up if possible, if your on the run.. don’t worry, we have fresh cleansing pads for you to feel squeaky clean!

WHY IS SUGARING BETTER THAN WAXING?

Waxing removes hairs by pulling them out against the natural grain. Sugaring treatments remove hairs in the direction they naturally grow. This means less pain and fewer ingrown hairs.
Sugaring treatments use only simple, all-natural, non-toxic ingredients. Salon and at-home waxing products often include synthetic chemical ingredients that may even be toxic.
If you have sensitive skin, sugaring is a better choice for you. If you’ve tried waxing and found it too painful, sugaring is likely to be a great alternative to you.

IS SUGARING SAFE?

Yes! If you’ve suffered from rashes, ingrown hairs, irritation, or other painful side-effects from waxing, shaving, and plucking, you’ll be happy to know that sugaring is 100% safe.Another advantage of sugaring is that while wax must be very hot, sugar is applied at your body temperature, meaning no chance of burning your sensitive skin!

DOES SUGARING HURT?

At Blissful Beauty, our Sugaristas are trained to provide sugaring treatments with minimal discomfort.

If you’re used to painful waxing treatments, you’ll likely be amazed at the difference sugaring can make. With wax, your hairs are ripped out against their natural grain, while sugaring removes hair in the direction that they grow-- which requires much less force. Additionally, sugar is applied at your body’s temperature-- eliminating the risk of painful burns!

If you’ve never worked with an esthetician before, your Sugarista will help you understand what to expect and how you can feel your best before, during, and after your treatment.

CAN THE HAIR REMOVAL BY SUGARING LAST FOREVER?

While we cannot guarantee this, in many cases, sugaring can lead to permanency.

HOW LONG DOES SUGARING LAST?

It varies from person to person and here's why:

There are three separate growth cycles for your hair. On your first sugaring visit, we get the first, second, and part of the third growth cycles of your hair. Once returning to get sugared two or three times, we start getting all three hair cycled out at the same time. As you continue to get sugared regularly, you will be able to go longer periods of time between your sugaring.

With sugaring, your hair will grow back thinner and many clients report a noticeable reduction of hair growth.

It is important that your first three sugaring sessions are booked fairly close together.

Many find that sugaring is less painful and in most cases lead to permanency.

Using razors or depilatory cream between appointments will interfere with the goal of diminishing your hair growth. Please exfoliate and hydrate your skin regularly between sugaring visits. Proper aftercare is important for optimal results. You will receive the best results if your skin is happy and healthy.
