ABOUT SUGARING

  • Sugaring is a method of all natural hair removal made of sugar, lemon and water. It is applied opposite the growth of the hair and removed in the same direction of the hair growth. When performed correctly, there is less discomfort than any other method of hair removal and the smoothest, longest lasting results with little to no irritation.

  • No. Clients will still feel a sting of the root of the hair coming out of the tiny pore but they will no longer have to experience the lasting, burning sensation that results from a hot, resin based wax that grabs a little live skin with every pass.

  • Sugaring is an ancient Egyptian method that dates back to the days of Cleopatra and the Pharaohs.

    Hieroglyphics indicate that appearing before royalty with any body or head hair was considered unclean.  It is believed that sugaring was discovered by a mistake in the kitchen, experimenting with hair removal. Traditionally, women would gather monthly in the home to remove each other's body hair in Egyptian cultures.

  • Our courses do not grant legal permission to offer sugaring services. Please ensure you check your state’s legal requirements for offering such services.
