Discover hair free smooth skin

Sugaring is a natural method of hair removal that uses a paste made from sugar, water, and lemon. Unlike waxing, the sugar paste only adheres to dead skin cells and hair—not live skin—making it a gentler and safer option.

• Application direction: Sugaring is applied against the direction of hair growth and removed with it, reducing breakage and ingrown hairs.
• Temperature: Sugar paste is used at body temperature, so there’s no risk of burns.
• Skin health: The paste exfoliates while removing hair, leaving skin smoother.
• Ingredients: 100% natural vs. resins and chemicals often found in wax.

Most clients find sugaring less painful than waxing. Because the paste doesn’t stick to live skin, it feels more like hair being gently removed rather than skin being pulled. Pain tolerance varies, but many notice it gets easier with regular treatments.

Almost anywhere! Common areas include:

• Legs
• Arms
• Underarms
• Bikini & Brazilian
• Face (lip, chin, cheeks, brows)

Sugaring is safe for sensitive skin, 

making it suitable for delicate areas and a great alternative to derma-planing.

Hair should be about the length of a grain of rice (2–4 mm). That’s shorter than what waxing requires, so you don’t need to wait as long between treatments. If you have shaved, we ask you wait ten days for optimum results.

Results usually last 3–5 weeks depending on your hair growth cycle. With regular sugaring, hair grows back finer, softer, and more sparse over time. We usually find clients can 'stretch' their appointment times after a couple of years of regular visits.

Yes. Sugaring is especially popular for those with sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis, or prone to ingrown hairs, because it doesn’t irritate or damage the skin barrier.

Yes! Sugaring actually helps prevent ingrown hairs because it removes hair in the natural growth direction and exfoliates at the same time. Over time, most clients see fewer ingrowns compared to waxing or shaving, especially if they follow some simple after care tips.

• Exfoliate gently 2 days before.
• Avoid heavy lotions, oils, or deodorant on the treatment area.
• Wear loose clothing for comfort afterward.
• Make sure your hair is long enough (2–4 mm).

• Avoid hot showers, saunas, and workouts for 24 hours.
• Wear breathable clothing.
• Use a gentle exfoliant 2 times per week, starting after 48 hours.
• Keep skin hydrated with a natural moisturiser.
