What is Sugaring?
Sugaring is an Ancient Egyptian method of hair removal that is beginning to gain popularity in the United States as a superior alternative to waxing. Salons and spas all over San Diego are beginning to add sugaring services to their menu as the demand rises. Sugaring is gentle on the skin and causes less pain and irritation during and after treatments.
Sugar Paste is completely natural and non-allergenic - made solely from pure sugar cane, lemon juice, and water. It contains zero chemicals, additives, or fillers. You can eat it!
The Process
With Sugaring, hair is removed using a hand technique and does not involve the use of sticks or strips. A fresh ball of room temperature paste is used for each treatment. The paste gently removes hair by the root, in the natural direction of hair growth, without removing live skin cells. Upon completion of the treatment, the used paste is tossed out with the glove.
At Swanky Sugar, you receive a warm towel after every body sugaring treatment - sugar paste is water soluble and all residue is completely dissolved. You'll leave the spa with perfectly smooth, clean skin.
Length of hair should be approximately 1/4" or longer. Two to 3 weeks of growth is usually sufficient. Skin should be clean and dry. You may take an anti-inflammatory/pain reliever of your choice before your appointment.
