Why We Use Sugar Instead of Wax

For all the reasons people love wax, they’re sure to love sugar. It’s highly effective and won’t leave you feeling raw, sensitive, or irritated—just smooth and satisfied! Sugaring is great for people with sensitive skin because it gently exfoliates while leaving live skin cells intact. Plus, it won’t cause ingrown hairs!

Where Sugaring Succeeds

Sugaring has been around since ancient times. It’s a completely organic solution with all-natural ingredients, time-tested and skin-trusted for centuries. Sugar, water, lemon—that’s it! 

Your skilled Sugarista can apply this paste and remove hair from the root successfully with minimal discomfort and irritation. With sugaring, you can get the gorgeous results you want and leave with your skin feeling clean and soft.

San Diego’s Sugaring Questions Answered

Depending on your hair type and growth rate, sugaring can last anywhere from 4-5 weeks. Waxing typically lasts 3-4 weeks. Sugaring is also effective at grabbing small hairs, though we prefer hair to be at least ¼ inch long.

No, and in fact, many clients find sugaring to be less painful than waxing. While some discomfort is part of the hair removal game when you’re pulling hair out from the root, sugaring only stings for a second. Once it’s done, that’s it—no lingering irritation.

Yes! Sugaring is a safe and comfortable alternative waxing experience for Brazilian wax, bikini wax, and more. Plus, Swanky Sugar’s Sugaristas know plenty of ways to further protect your skin against ingrown hairs.
