    • Avoid exfoliation on the day of your appointment.

    • Drink lots of water! Dehydration causes the skin to tighten and can make your hair removal slightly less comfortable.

    • Avoid lotions and oils on the day of your appointment.

    • Caffeine can cause extra skin sensitivity.

    • Hair must be grown out about 14 days after your last shave. The longer the hair, the better the results!

    • Avoid spray tanning before sugaring, as it can lift the color

    • Arrive in sweatpants and a loose T-shirt. If you’re coming straight from work, please bring an extra pair of CLEAN cotton undies, loose bottom, and a loose shirt.

    • Avoid Touching! It’s tempting to get your hands on your new, silky-smooth skin, but your hands carry bacteria that could potentially cause an infection in your freshly opened pores.

    • This might be hard for some; please avoid any intimacy for the next 24 hours. Any liquids (side eye), friction, and sweat can lead to irritation. Please advise your partner to admire from a distance.

    • Avoid Exercise. Sweat and bacteria could clog pores and irritate your skin.

    • Avoid lotions with fragrance, products with harsh chemicals, and exfoliation directly after your appointment.

    • As mentioned before, exfoliation is extremely important and is recommended 2-3x a week to prevent ingrown hairs, but waiting 2 days after your sugar is the best time to start.

    • For facial sugaring, avoid wearing make-up for 24 hours. The sugar naturally exfoliates the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing a clean surface. Applying make-up too soon can lead to potential new acne flare-ups, irritation, and clogged pores.

    • Deodorant is an everyday necessity, BUT if you get this area sugared, it’s best to avoid deodorant for the remainder of the day. Deodorant leads to a build-up of sweat and non-organic ingredients. It is best to let your underarms breathe and get the most out of your silky smooth skin.

    • Get into a routine of exfoliating and moisturizing your beautiful skin! Exfoliation 2-3x a week will help to remove dead skin buildup and give your new hair opportuthe nity to grow through the skin. But it doesn’t stop there; exfoliation without moisturizing can cause dry skin, which your new hairs can get stuck underneath. Use an all-natural oil or body butter to moisturize your skin, and if you have sensitive skin, it may be best to avoid moisturizers with fragrance. The combination of exfoliation and moisturizing will give you optimal results for soft, silky, smooth skin, and even enhance your sugaring appointments!

    • Once you begin sugaring, waiting 4-6 weeks between appointments is average and will give you the best results for hair removal.

    • To ensure the BEST results, continue to wear looser clothes for the next 2-3 days following your sugar session. This allows the hair follicle to breath and avoid any ingrowns from accruing.

  • Yes! While the area may be a bit more sensitive during your time of the month, making it slightly more uncomfortable, it is still very manageable and easy to work around

  • Sugaring results usually last about 1.5 to 2 weeks, and then your next set of hairs will start to make their grand entrance. Booking your appointments ahead of time keeps everything on a smooth schedule—literally—so each visit gets easier and easier.

    When hair is pulled from the root, the new growth that returns is a soft, fine “baby hair” that’s way less attached, which means it comes out like a total breeze next time. That’s why every hair removal pro will tell you, “The first time is always the worst.” You’re starting with the thickest, most stubborn hairs of your life.

    But once you start your sugaring journey? Oh gorgeous… it only gets smoother from here.

  • Sugaring may still be hair removal, but it’s a completely different experience from waxing. Wax sticks to live skin cells, which means it can take a tiny layer of skin with it. Often leaving you red, tender, or irritated. Sugar, however, only adheres to the hair and dead skin, giving you a gentle exfoliation instead of skin lifting. The result is smoother skin with little to no redness.

    Another big difference is technique. Sugar is removed with the direction of hair growth, helping the hair glide out from the root. This reduces breakage, ingrowns, and irritation, and over time leads to softer, finer, sparser regrowth—yes, that means less discomfort in the long run. Waxing goes against the grain, which can be rougher on the skin and more likely to cause breakage.

    And the best part? Sugar is applied at body temperature, so you never have to worry about burns, just a gentler, kinder hair removal experience.
