Ready for some sugar! To keep your skin feeling smooth and get the best results, here’s a quick and easy guide to help you prep like a pro!

24–48 Hours

Before Sugaring

  1. Exfoliate Gently

    • Use a gentle scrub or exfoliating mitt to remove dead skin cells.

    • Avoid harsh exfoliants that can cause micro-tears.

  2. Avoid Tanning

    • Stay out of direct sun exposure or tanning beds.

    • Sunburned skin cannot be sugared safely.

  3. Check Hair Length

    • Hair should be at least 1/8 inch long (about the length of a grain of rice) for effective sugaring.

    • If too short, wait a few more days.

  4. Avoid Retinoids or Acid Products

    • Stop using retinol, AHAs/BHAs, or any chemical exfoliants in the area at least 2–3 days before.

1. What is sugaring?

Sugaring is a natural hair removal method that uses a paste made from sugar, lemon juice, and water. It gently removes hair from the root and is great for sensitive skin.

2. Does sugaring hurt?

You may feel a little discomfort, especially the first time, but most people find it less painful than waxing. The more you do it, the easier it gets!

3. How should I prepare for my appointment?

Make sure your skin is clean and dry. Don’t apply any lotion, oil, or deodorant before your appointment. It’s also helpful to gently exfoliate 24–48 hours before.

5. Can I get sugared during my period?

Yes, you can—but your skin may be more sensitive. If you’re getting a bikini or Brazilian sugaring, wear a clean tampon or menstrual cup.

6. How long do results last?

Most people stay smooth for 3–4 weeks. With regular appointments, hair can grow back finer and more slowly.

7. Is sugaring safe for sensitive skin?

Yes! Sugaring is gentle and all natural, making it a great choice for sensitive skin.

8. Can I shave between sugaring appointments?

It’s best not to. Shaving can make the next sugaring session more uncomfortable. Let the hair grow so the sugar can remove it from the root again.

9. How often should I get sugared?

Most clients come every 3 to 5 weeks. Regular sugaring helps keep your skin smoother longer and makes the process easier each time.
