Sugaring is a relatively painless, affordable, and long-lasting Brazilian hair removal method. Say goodbye to the irritation, ingrown hairs, and razor bumps caused by shaving or regular waxing – waxing removes live skin cells alongside dead skin cells and unwanted hair, causing unnecessary pain and irritation. The skin damage caused by waxing is clearly visible under a Wood’s lamp. The reason why waxing became so popular is that it requires far less skill…you can be very unskilled and still remove hair because the wax will rip off (or at least break) the hair.
Sugaring is more hygienic, lasts longer (usually up to 4 weeks) and can be less painful if done regularly. Sugaring doesn’t cause ingrown hairs…it can actually correct them! In addition, sugaring is a natural exfoliating treatment for the skin and can lead to permanent reduction of hair growth.
Sugaring NYC Sugar Paste gets rid of unwanted body hair and at the same time gently exfoliates the skin. This helps to get rid of dead skin cells. Sugar paste, unlike wax, does not stick to live/active skin cells because it is a water-soluble substance and active skin cells are wet, therefore optimizing the condition of the skin. Sugar paste is so gentle it can remove the fine hair on women’s faces and is safe for clients with sensitive skin, eczema, or psoriasis.
Sugar paste can also be used on much shorter hair length. Sugaring NYC recommends the hair length to be at least the size of a grain of rice (1/8 inch). This allows you to get your sugar waxing appointment practically at any time, even after you shaved 3-4 days ago, as long as your hair is at least 1/8 of an inch (or 4mm) long (don’t ever shave, please..seriously…don’t). On top of this sugar paste dissolves easily with water leaving no sticky residue on the skin after the appointment.
If you have very sensitive skin, the type that can become irritated by the slightest touch, sugaring is almost definitely the best option for you. Not only is sugaring a more gentle, 100% organic way to remove hair, there is generally less redness and irritation associated with it, making it great for people who might have sensitive skin or allergy-prone skin.
Moreover, regular wax is heated to an extremely high temperature, and it can absolutely burn the skin, especially in sensitive areas. Sugaring is a more gentle method of hair removal because the paste does not adhere to the skin—it only attaches to the hair. This minimizes the amount of irritation to the area and pain during the process. The sugar paste is also more malleable than hard wax, which allows it to get all the way down to the root. This makes it less likely to break hair at the surface.
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.
So I have gotten sugaring done so many times and this was the most pleasant experience thus far. I had Dedri and she did it quickly and efficiently. She was such a great hyped woman and kept the conversation going organically. The least painful sugaring experience ever. Wish I could bring her back with me to Florida. 10/10 recommended!
This isn’t a review for sugar as much as it’s a review for Zarema. Zarema is amazing, makes you feel comfortable, cares and builds relationships with her clients. She will also take all the time necessary to ensure you’re silky smooth! Go see Zarema!
Today was my first time ever coming to this location and my first time sugaring overall. Let me tell you how much I love the results and the service. The person that was attending me was Selena and she was very funny, super warm and made my sugaring experience so much better. She made me feel very comfortable. My skin didn’t feel irritated at all. Will I be coming again? Yes I am
This afternoon I had my first sugar service at Sugaring NYC- Midtown with Zarema B. Zarema B was very kind , attentive and highly knowledgeable about hair removal care and over all skin care. She engaged with me in convo throughout my whole sugaring service which kept my mind off the pain a bit. She gave me helpful tips to reduce my irritation around the bikini area etc which I will definitely be following! I can’t wait to visit again and have Zarema be my go to person! The lady at the front desk was also super nice and communicated with me very kindly when I was running late myself.
I tried laser hair removal for about a year and a half and it just didn’t work. So I returned to waxing. I never tried sugar wax but I’ve tried hard wax in the past. Because it was a while, the wax was slightly painful but the technician was great- funny and personable. She made me feel comfortable during the whole process. I also love that they do ingrown hair extractions! They were about 15 mins late on my appointment time but since I wasn’t in a rush, I didn’t mind. I was happy that I tried it out and will definitely return. Super smooth results.
I found this place through a Google search. My usual wax lady wasn’t available and I was getting ready to go away. I was pleased to find this place was open and willing to see me at the last minute. I was also pleased to find that this was the most comfortable wax I had ever experienced. Although this business is far from my home, this will be my new home for body waxing.
