What is sugaring?
Sugaring is an Ancient Egyptian method of hair removal that is gaining popularity in Curacao as a luxury alternative to waxing. Sometimes called sugar waxing, sugaring is a gentle, effective and all-natural solution to unwanted hair. Sugar paste is made from just 3 ingredients (sugar, lemon juice and water) and contains no additives or resins. There are no sticks or strips. It is applied and removed via a professional hand technique that takes time and dedication to master.
How do you use sugar to remove the hair?
We use clean gloves each time to take a portion of sugar paste from the pot, which is body temperature and not hot.
The sugar is applied by hand, against the grain of the hair, and the paste seeps into the hair follicles to wrap around the hair shaft.
Then, we remove the sugar via a flicking motion in the same direction as hair growth to reduce ingrown hairs. This technique takes time and plenty of practice to master. After the treatment, the sugar is discarded in the trash.
Does sugaring hurt?
All hair removal is somewhat uncomfortable, but Sugaring Hair Removal is way better than waxing! Most clients agree that they experience less than half the discomfort with sugaring. If you’ve never had hair removal before or it's been a few months, you can expect a little more discomfort since we are pulling hair out by the root. But stick with it, your second treatment will be a breeze! Plus, with regular sugaring appointments, your hair grows back thinner and lighter. It also results in permanent hair reduction for many people. Less hair means less discomfort!
Can I use a numbing cream before my sugaring service?
You can, but it won’t do you much good. Those creams numb the top layer of skin, but they don’t reach below the surface where your hair is connected at the root. Also, we need clean, dry skin for best results so we’ll have to remove it before we begin your service anyway.
In short, numbing creams aren’t very effective for hair removal, and aren’t worth your time or money. The best way to reduce any discomfort during your sugaring appointment is to exfoliate and moisturize regularly.
Additionally, the more you sugar, the less hair you’ll have, and the more comfortable it will be to remove.
How is sugaring different than waxing?
How does sugaring compare to shaving?
SHAVING is a temporary hair removal process. You can expect to see and feel regrowth in as little as one day. Many people also develop irritation and bumps from shaving too close. Not to mention the cost of replacing expensive razor blades, and all the TIME you have to spend doing it!
SUGARING removes hair in the direction of growth and results last for 3 to 5 weeks. It removes more of the hairs without breaking them off under the skin for fewer unsightly bumps. Because the sugar paste is all-natural (sugar, water and lemon juice) there is little to no risk for irritation. Gentle and effective, Sugaring Hair Removal is the best way to remove unwanted hair.
How long does my hair have to be to get sugared?
Length of hair should be approximately 1/4″ or longer, which is about the size of a grain of rice. If you’ve been shaving or waxing, 3 weeks of growth is usually sufficient.
Does sugaring help reduce hair growth long term?
YES! When you get sugared regularly you catch a specific growth cycle each time, which means you’ll grow a lot less hair in those areas in the long run.
If you decide to pause or lengthen the time between visits, you won’t get the results you want. Once you get past 5 weeks from your last hair removal appointment, you’re in-between growth cycles.
The idea is to remove the hair and scar the follicle so the hair comes back finer and thinner. If there is always a hair in the follicle this can’t happen.
What if I'm on my period the day of my appointment?
Being on your period is no reason to cancel your Brazilian or bikini hair removal appointment. We can work around a tampon string. More clients are using menstrual cups, which are worn inside the body. Either way, it’s not an issue for us at all.
Do you offer Brazilians for men?
Yes, we do! All our services are unisex.
Can I get sugared if I'm pregnant?
Absolutely! Body sugaring is a safe, effective and gentle professional treatment. Besides, you can’t see what’s going on down there under that belly. Let us help! ?Our pregnant clients say sugaring is the only hair removal method they’ll ever use even after baby is born! Note: some expectant
