There are three different types of pubic hair removal;
Sugar paste is applied with a gloved hand in the opposite direction of hair growth.
Then it is flicked off in the direction of hair growth, meaning it does not break the hair
backward leaving you with smooth, hairless skin. The paste itself is 100% organic and
made of just sugar, lemon, and water and applied at body temperature so there is no
risk of burning. Did we mention no sticks or strips?
The best part of sugaring is that regular treatments lead to reduced hair growth and
discomfort. Thinner, lighter, sparser hair while being eco-friendly and totally trendy!
Sugar paste is a unique 100% organic product made of sugar, lemon juice, and
water (that’s it). So natural and non-toxic that you can even eat it like candy. You really
can! The paste is water soluble which means it can be removed easily with warm water.
No smell, no artificial colors, no toxins, no resins, just three simple ingredients.
Exfoliate the area 24 hours prior to sugaring using circular motions. Don’t have an exfoliator? Stop by to grab an organic scrub. Drink lots of water on the day of your appointment and avoid any lotions, serums, or deodorant.
We generally recommend getting sugared once every three weeks at the start of
your sugaring journey. This allows your esthetician to remove the hair early in its growth
cycle and have the best chance of thinning or even permanent hair reduction.
Depending on your skin and hair type, it can be 4-6 weeks thereafter. The general rule
is – the more often you do it, the thinner and less visible your hair becomes. Ask your
esthetician about your skin type to help determine how often you should get sugared.
We recommend your hair to be from 1/4′′ long (or the length of a grain of rice).
Skilled professionals from Sugaring NYC can work with many hair lengths and will keep
you informed about your treatment throughout your appointment.
If you have been shaving prior to sugaring, try giving yourself ten days without removing
the hair before booking your appointment for the smoothest result.
Shaving removes the hair at the shaft or skin’s surface level, which not only
re-grows with a stubbly feel but can leave you feeling itchy and uncomfortable. Razors
often harbor bacteria which can lead to irritations or infections. All of that trouble for hair
to regrow in a day or two and to have to start the process all over again.
The vast majority of clients report their sugaring experiences to be less painful
than waxing. Remember, sugar paste does not adhere to live skin cells so there is no
skin pulling, and hair is removed in the same direction as it grows. Skin redness
disappears much faster as there is less trauma to the skin. Once you begin sugaring
regularly, your hair will become lighter and thinner resulting in an even less
uncomfortable experience. Try our numbing spray on your first visit!

Please contact your local Sugaring NYC for a complete list of cancellation, no-show and
late policies.
Pores will be open for about 24 hours after your sugaring service and will be
more susceptible to bacteria. Avoid tanning, hot showers, friction, tight clothing,
exercise/sweat, and open water for 24 hours.
Aftercare is important to maintain results! Exfoliate using a Sugaring NYC
organic scrub 48 hours after treatment. Use circular motions to remove dead skin cells,
bacteria/dirt/build-up every 2-3 days. This helps keep hair growing up and away from
the skin reducing ingrown hairs. Hydrate as needed with Sugaring NYC Healing
Chamomile Oil.
Just a few; scalp, beard, ears, and nostrils. Everywhere else, we can take care of it!
Lash Lift and Tint – Lifts your natural lashes from root to tip giving you the effect
of using an eyelash curler without actually having to use one! The tint is included to
make the lashes appear darker and longer. Lasts 6-8 weeks (depending on your lash’s
growth cycle).
Brow Lamination – Softens eyebrow hairs and straightens them for fuller and
more manageable brows. Can be bold and fluffy or soft and tamed. Lasts up to 4
weeks.
V-Facial – a facial for your bikini area to reduce ingrown hairs and calm the skin.
Performed immediately after sugaring hair removal. Short on time? Try these add-ons
individually; extractions, chemical peel, jelly mask, and high frequency.

Our sugaring technique extracts the hair in the direction of hair growth. This means less trauma on the hair, less chance of breakage and therefore minimising the chance of ingrown hairs.
