Sugaring Q & A
Some prescriptions and skincare treatments can make skin more delicate. If you’re using products that thin the skin, increase sun sensitivity, or affect healing, please check with your doctor first. In some cases, you may need to wait before booking.

There are several factors that can contribute to breaking out following treatment. If you break out immediately following your treatment, within 24 hours it could be a couple things. One is the body can have a histamine reaction to actually removing the hair alone, this is common on the face where there are millions of vellus hairs a square inch. Mens backs as well can have an histamine reaction. You can consider taking an antihistamine prior or following your appointment (it is advice to consult your doctor or pharmacist prior to) to minimize reaction if this has occurred before.
You could also cause an reaction or break out by not following after care such as excising immediately following your appointment (24-48 hour), using irritating or fragrant products, exfoliating, tanning, going in a hot tub our swimming pool, wearing tight fitting clothing, touching skin with dirty hands that may have dirt and bacterial.
Furthermore, between appointments depending on hair growth, when your hair starts to grow back (10-14 day range) it is very important you have been doing proper aftercare. Exfoliating and moisturizing are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to preventing ingrown hairs from developing. Sugaring makes your hair softer and finer and grow back patchy and the hair is weaker, if you are not exfoliating (everywhere you sugar) the mouth of the follicle can be congested and that is when you get an ingrown hair. Sugaring decongests the follicle and exfoliates dead skin but you must maintain this following your appointment 2 to 3 times a week.
Most people find that body sugaring hurts far less than waxing, but it all depends on your own pain tolerance. The first time is the worst, and after that pain is usually reduced to half or less for maintenance appointments.
All guests booking for a thong bikini or brazilian must be be at least 18 years of age, or at least 16 with parental consent. All guests booking for a simple bikini must be at least 14 years of age with parental consent. Please be prepared to present a vaild photo i.d., if needed.
Ideally 1/4 of an inch so there is a more uniform length for your first appointment. After your first appointment, for best results your hair should be at least 1/8 of an inch long, 10 – 14 days growth and 1/4 inch for legs.
For most services we recommend coming in every four to five weeks for best results. Timing may vary depending on your growth cycle and how long you’ve been sugaring. Ask your sugarist for their recommendation on your next visit.
There are a few basic things you can do to reduce and get rid of ingrown hairs. First and foremost, exfoliate and moisturise! Using a natural bristle body brush, exfoliating cloth or gloves; you’ll keep dead skin cells from trapping new hair growth under your skin. The second step is to keep your skin healthy and moisturized. A good rule of thumb is, whenever your skin gets wet (after every shower or bath) moisturize.
