What’s the difference between sugaring and waxing?

Sugaring uses a natural sugar paste applied against the hair growth and removed with it, making it gentler on the skin. Waxing uses resin-based products and may adhere more to the skin.

How long should my hair be before waxing/sugaring?

Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about the size of a grain of rice) for optimal results. Avoid shaving at least 10–14 days before your appointment.

How often should I wax/sugar?

The frequency of waxing depends on individual hair growth and preferences. Typically, waxing is done every 3 to 6 weeks to maintain smooth skin.

What do I need to do to prepare for my first wax appointment?

For the best results, stay well-hydrated and gently exfoliate a few days before your first appointment. Hydrated skin allows the hair to release more easily, reducing breakage and improving removal from the root. Try to relax — tension can heighten sensitivity. Many clients find that taking an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before helps minimize discomfort. We also recommend avoiding alcohol and caffeine beforehand, as they can make your skin more sensitive.

Why do I get ingrown hairs after waxing, but my friend doesn’t?

Everyone’s skin and hair type is different. Some individuals naturally have ingrown-prone skin, especially if their hair is curly, coarse, or if dead skin cells clog the follicles. Skin type, exfoliation habits, and genetics all play a role in whether or not ingrowns occur after waxing.

What should I do if I get an ingrown hair after waxing?

If you develop an ingrown, don’t pick or squeeze it. Instead: 1. Apply a warm compress to soothe the area. 2. Use a gentle exfoliator or ingrown hair treatment to help the hair release naturally. 3. If it becomes painful, swollen, or shows signs of infection, consult a skincare professional or healthcare provider.
