Should I do anything different before my sugaring treatment?
For your comfort, we recommend that you do not sunbathe (or use a tanning bed-well never use a tanning bed for that matter) for 48 hours prior to or after any sugaring treatment. Avoid putting any moisturizers on the skin 24 hours before the treatment. Also, some women find that their skin is extra sensitive when they are pre-menstrual.

Hair needs to be 1/4″ long or about the length of a grain of rice. This usually takes about a week without shaving or trimming. I always say the longer the better!
-
Exfoliate the area before getting sugared (don’t over do it).
-
You may take a couple Advil or Tylenol before your appointment. This helps “take the edge off” with any pain or swelling during or after your appointment.

Don’t be nervous!! I will take excellent care of you and explain everything else when you come in for your appointment!
Is sugaring safe?
Yes! The ingredients are all natural. It consists only of sugar, lemon juice and water.
How long will my Brazilian appointment take?
It usually takes me less than 15-20 minutes to do the sugaring portion of the appointment. I book first timers for 30-45 minutes to leave time for explanation and tweezing.
How long does sugaring last? (Hair growth cycles explanation.)
Your hair has 3 growth cycles. On your very first visit I get the first, second and PART of the third hair growth cycles. Once you return to get sugared 2-3 times we start getting all 3 hair growth cycles out at the SAME TIME! (If you feel any stubble whatsoever after your first appointment, it’s the third cycle barely poking out. Once you come back a couple more times we get them all at the same time.) After your first sugaring, it should last 2-3 weeks. As you continue to get sugared you can go 3-6 weeks!
How long do I wait between appointments?
The optimal amount of time between sugaring is 3-4 weeks. You want to remove the hair by the root while the hair is being nourished in order to discourage the hair from growing back! Some people come every two weeks! There is different pricing if you come sooner than 5 weeks.
I am pregnant; is it safe to sugar?
Many pregnant sugaring users still get treatments. There is no reason to stop sugaring treatments when you are pregnant.
Can I get my Brazilian or bikini if I have my cycle?
Yes! It is completely up to you. Some women aren’t comfortable, but if you are it is fine to get sugared while on your period. Just wear a tampon.
Will the hair grow back darker and coarser?
No. On the contrary, the hair will grow back thinner. Sugar removes the hair from the root, thus discouraging hair growth. Regular usage, particularly during the winter months, will noticeably reduce hair growth and the re-growth takes longer to appear and is considerably thinner.
Can I sugar while using Accutane? Retin-A?
Accutane, no! You have to wait until after you are done with your Accutane cycle before you have any kind of professional exfoliation. Retin-A, yes. You just need to wait a few days before you get sugared.
