• The sugar ball method of sugaring is more hygienic than waxing as there is no spatula to be continually returned to the pot with clients dead skin cells & blood spotting on it.

• Regular sugaring treatments encourages finer and sparser re growth. I have clients that have experienced slower growth, finer hair & patches where hair seems to be not growing back.

• Unlike wax wich contains resins, chemicals & preservatives, sugar paste is entirely natural leaving the skin smooth, silky & hair free up from 4 to 6 weeks dependant on your hair growth cycle.  

• Sugaring tends to feel less painful as it does not stick to the skin like wax so may suit people who have experienced discomfort through other forms of hair removal.

• Sugar paste will not damage delicate facial tissue with long term use as more gentle on the skin than wax.

• Safe for varicose veins, spider veins and diabetics.

• With hand sugaring  I am always aware of the temperature of the paste as it is in my hand. This avoids burning your skin like some waxing methods may do.

• Entirely natural & hypoallergenic so suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin & people who are allergic to wax or suffer from psoriasis & eczema. Sugar is a natural healer for the skin.

• Sugar is a natural exfoliator so removes dead skin cells during the process, the hair is also extracted in the direction of growth (the opposite way to waxing) this causes less damage to the hair follicle so ingrowing hairs tend to be less if at all & your skin is left soft & smooth. Waxing can sometimes cause more ingrowing hairs as they can snap off when pulled out against the natural hair growth direction.

• Reactions such as redness are less common & if any, disappear faster with sugaring.

• Hand sugaring can be more thorough as I can go over the area with & against the hair growth if required.

• Sugaring can be performed on shorter hairs than waxing when it is in it's early growth stage (anagen) so you can be hair free more regularly if you wish. Some hair as short as 5mm can be removed, however this is dependent on the treatment area and previous hair removal method. Hair removed for the first time, maybe more resistant, especially after shaving for many years.

• Sugaring is enviromentally friendly being completely biodegradable & contains no harmful chemicals or animal products & has not been tested on animals.

• Is Sugaring painful?
  Everybody’s pain threshold is different, the best way to find out is to try it. Some of my clients that have had waxing previously say it is less painful & does not make the skin red like waxing does. You may have increased sensitivity if you have a hang over or drink lots of caffeine. If your period is due you may also be more sensitive than usual. If you take a pain killer an hour before your appointment this can help reduce sensitivity

• Will it stick to my clothes?
  No, sugar paste is water soluble & easily removed from skin and clothing.

Sugaring   

My Treatment Times are only approximate. I prefer not to rush your treatment so please do not compare this with speed waxing removal methods. All people are different, time taken depends on many things such as  hair type, skin condition & your previous methods of hair removal,  At your first appointment I will carry out a consultation and will then be able to give you an indication of your personal treatment times for each booking.

Sugaring Removal Method. I am trained in both strip sugaring, the same removal method as waxing using a paper strip, also the hand sugaring technique where a ball of sugar paste is applied by hand and removed with a flick of the hand. The sugar ball is GREAT especially for getting to difficult parts like bikini lines & small areas. 

During your consultation & treatment we will put together a personalised treatment plan & decide which method is suitable for you, your hair type and area of removal.
