Female Sugar Waxing
in Auckland

Sugaring is a method of hair removal, it is often compared to standard waxing, but sugar waxing has several advantages over traditional wax. During the procedure, a sugaring wax adheres to and essentially removes hair without attaching to the skin. The paste can be applied at room temperature or heated to a lukewarm temperature, minimizing the risk of burns. For this reason, sugaring is generally preferred over waxing when it comes to removing hair from larger areas of skin or on more sensitive areas such as a bikini. As far as sugaring removes hairs from roots and without skin damage, each next procedure becomes even less sensitive.
The sugar wax made just from sugar, water, and some citric acid. And as far as sugar is hypoallergenic, the sugaring does not provoke any allergy reaction.
The chances to get the issue with ingrown hairs are less compared to other hair removal methods, but following after-care recommendations is still important.

I would like to try SUGARING, but I'm scared.

As a woman I understand it and I would say it is OK to be worried, especially when you want to try sugaring or waxing for the first time. It is hard to trust a new specialist who you don't know yet and expose some private parts, especially the bikini area.

We have a dedicated article for those who never done bikini waxing, where I answering the most frequently asked questions about the first waxing experience, hope you will find some helpful infromation.

You also may try to find feedbacks from our current customers who had the same concerns. And of course please feel free to get in touch with me directly.

Do you do regular waxing or hot waxing?

No, Hot Waxing has just a few advantages over sugar waxing - it is a faster and cheaper hair removal method, which may work well for less sensitive areas such as legs or arms, but waxing just cannot compete with sugaring on such zones as bikini or underarms where consideration of hair growth direction and body shapes are vital. Also, the lasting result of sugaring is longer than after waxing.

What length of hair is suitable for sugaring?

The optimal size is 5mm. In "emergency cases" :) it can be 3-4mm, but the result wouldn't be that good. So, I would recommend having a length 5-7 mm especially if you try sugaring for the first time. But don't grow it too long also :) The longer hair the stronger it "sits" in a hair follicle. 

For how long does sugaring last?

The result depends on how long you waited after shaving. If you grow your hair for 1 month, all your hair will grow up by that time when you have sugaring and we could remove all of them. The result after that will be very clean and you will have soft and clean skin for 3-4 weeks. Sugar waxing removes hairs with roots and doesn't cut them off, as a result, with each next procedure the hair is getting softer, thinner, brighter, and less noticeable.
In my practice, I saw the "shortest lasting result" for 3 weeks, which still isn't so bad, isn't it?

What is the best interval between hair removal sessions with sugaring?

According to my experience, the minimum is 5-6 weeks, we could do it earlier as well if you can't wait longer.
Sugaring removes hairs from roots and extends regrowth time since the first session. Another thing to keep in mind is that hairs don't grow all at once and if you come to the next session too early, then some hairs may be just about to reach the surface and they will not be removed. The best result is achieved within a period 7-8 weeks after your last hair removal session when all your hair has grown up. On the other hand, if hair grows too long, then roots become stronger and may cause unnecessary sensitivity during the hair removal session.

Is sugaring painful?

Sugaring is one of the most gentle hair removal methods, but it is not completely pain-free. Sugar wax makes the procedure more comfortable as it does not adhere to the skin. Dispatch method and experience of technician also make the difference. Sugar wax is quite warm, but not hot, it will not burn or irritate the skin. We use the 100% manual method - no tools, no strips, just hands, sugar paste and skill. We also use a special dispatch technique which helps to reduce the sensitivity of your skin and get an even more comfortable experience during hair removal sessions. For the most comfortable experience we recommend to have time between sessions no longer than 2 months.

Can I do brazilian waxing with sugar wax?

Absolutely! Brazilian waxing is where sugaring does the best work and no other method can compete with it. If you did regular brazilian waxing before, then you will admire how gentle sugaring is and how long skin remains hair-free. Also, sugaring has a better "penetration", I mean sugar wax removes hairs from root considering body shape and direction of hair growth. For example, with sugaring, there is no problem at all to extract 100% of hairs between buttocks and all-around bikini lips. You will be absolutely bare all under panties after brazilian waxing with sugaring.

Can I do eyebrows shaping with sugar waxing?

How to care for the skin after sugar waxing?

Generally speaking for the two days after sugaring you need to keep your skin ultra-clean, avoid contacts, sweating, and swimming. Since day 3, you need to keep your skin moisturized and do exfoliation every 3 days during the hot shower. Learn more about aftercare.

Is it safe to do sugaring during pregnancy? 

It is always better to raise this question with a doctor or your midwife. But in most cases, sugaring hair removal has no contraindications during pregnancy, as it is harm-free and one of the less painful hair removal methods.
