FAQ

How long does my hair need to be?

A minimum of 2 weeks hair growth from shaving, about 1/8” to 1/4" long. Approximately the size of a grain of rice.

Does sugaring hurt?

The most discomfort will exist with your initial sugaring appointment, but will decrease significantly thereafter. As your hair grows back thinner and lighter naturally the discomfort lessens. Staying hydrated is very important and helps alleviate pain quite a bit! You may also take an ibuprofen 30 minutes before your sugaring service if your doctor approves. You will be fine! We promise.

What should I do before my appointment?

Wear loose breathable clothing, please do not wear any deodorant, oil or lotions on areas to be sugared and arrive to your appointment with clean and dry skin.

What should I do for post care?

Do not touch! No saunas, sweating, working out, friction, hot showers, pools or hot tubs for 24 hours. Exfoliate with a gentle physical or chemical exfoliant 48 hours after your appointment and continue exfoliating 3 times a week. Begin moisturizing with a gentle bikini balm or oil 24 hours after appointment, it is encouraged to do this everyday on clean/dry skin. Consistency is key! We have the best bikini after care available for purchase. Ask us if you have any questions!
