SUGAR vs. WAX


"Out of 100 clients who get sugaring for the first time, by an experienced sugarist, 98 of them will never wax again." ~Jessa​
​
Sugaring​

(100%: ORGANIC, VEGAN, NON-GMO, NON-TOXIC, NO PRESERVATIVES, BIODEGRADABLE)

  • Leads to permanency quickly, removes extremely short hair, 1/16th of an inch, or the early anagen phase of hair growth, the best time to achieve permanency.

  • The hairless plan, because sugaring removes the hair every 3-4 weeks at much shorter lengths enjoy having no hair all the time!

  • Adheres only to dead skin cells, sugar paste repells water initially try putting a drop of water on a sugar ball it will roll off, sugar will not stick to live skin cells due to their water content.

  • It's less painful than waxing, sugar contains lemon juice and glycolic acid it lubricates and softens as it seeps into the follicle, you then remove the hair in it's natural direction of growth which also reduces pain.

  • Will diminish ingrown hairs, you are following the natural direction of hair growth, will not warp or tear the follicles, which can cause recurring ingrowns.

  • Will not break the hair sugar seeps down in the follicle, softens and wraps itself around the
    base of the hair removing the hair completely.

  • Does not damage delicate facial tissue, heat can damage connective tissue.

  • Sugaring is a great exfoliating treatment for the skin!

  • Water soluble, cleans up fast and easy with warm-hot water.

  • Cannot ever burn the skin because it's not heated.

  • Removes hair as short as 1/16th of an inch.

  • Can you wax with SugarLove as a strip wax? Yes, clients receiving sugar waxing experience a 50-75% reduction in pain! Just remember do not call "sugar waxing" sugaring. You need to be using the paste method of sugaring to advertise that you offer sugaring.

 

​
Waxing

  • Often contains: dyes, sythetic toxic fragrances, non-biodegradable, plastic (polymer), irritatants and harsh preservatives.

  • Cost $15-30 per pound and you need a lot more supplies, not to mention you may use double or triple the amount of product for the same service with much lower quality ingredients, and
    not organic.

  • Adheres to live skin cells, pine resin/rosins are sap which sticks like the dickins sometimes to
    live skin cells!

  • Still breaks a small percentage of hair, sugaring virtually no breakage.

  • More painful and has the potential to do more damage to connective tissue.

  • Can burn, irritate and injure the skin leaving a scab.

  • Very difficult to clean up, must use harsh solvents, can ruin clothes and carpets.

  • Greater chance of ingrown hair due to follicle warping or tearing, toxic ingredients, dyes, fragrances, and hair breakage.

Before Sugar Care

Get sugared, every 3-4 weeks to stay on the hairless plan, lead to permanency & reduce pain.

After 1-2 years of sugaring, the hair growth will slow down & become semi-permanent.

FIRST TIME?
You are in great hands, your service will be swiftly & skillfully performed. We have performed thousands of sugaring services & Brazilians are our #1 service.

PAIN FACTOR
Your first time or first time after 5-6 weeks or more of hair growth, is the worst pain wise. You can expect a 50-70% reduction in pain by your second to third service.


PRE-SUGAR CARE

HAIR GROWTH 
- The hair must be at least 1/8th of an inch long or have 1-3 weeks outgrowth to be removed successfully.
FRESHLY SHOWERED
- Come to your appointment right after your shower, scrub with SugarLove Organic Sugar Scrub. Do not put on any lotion, cream or oil on, this will block the sugar.
SCRUB
- Use our SugarLove Sugar Scrubs 3-5 x a week, including the day you are coming in for sugaring. Soaps and scrubs you already have at home, often leave a residue, blocking the sugar.
TRIM IT
- Getting a Brazilian or have Thick Hair? You should trim all dense areas down to 1/4th of an inch, do not trim too short.
LOOSE CLOTHES
- Bring a clean set of loose clothes to wear after your service. Tight or sweaty clothes will cause ingrowns, bacteria and breakouts.
PATCH TEST
- Particularly for a full face sugaring, we recommend you do a 24hr patch test on a small area to see how your skin reacts.
ALLERGIES, MEDICATIONS, SUPPLEMENTS
- Disclose everything you are taking, during intake. Accutane, Antibiotics and other medications can cause serious side effects.
BLOOD THINNERS
- Reduce all blood thinners a week before your service. Including: any medication, any pain killers (Advil, Aspirin, Tylenol), supplements, herbs, vitamins especially Vitamin C, lots of fruit, alcohol, sugar, carbs and caffeine. Although rare these items can increase your chances of bruising, bleeding and other possible side effects.
STOP TOPICAL EXFOLIANTS
- Stop use of Retin A, Retinol, Retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, Enzymes, Fruit Acids, Acids, Peels, 7 days prior to your service. Faces are particularly susceptible to scabbing or lifting if topical exfoliants have been used right before hair removal.
NO SUN BATHING
- No sun bathing, tanning booths, or spray tanning, 72 hours prior to appointment. We recommend spray tanning 48-72hrs after sugaring.
