Waxing is the most effective, longest-lasting temporary hair removal technique available. When wax is warm, it enters the follicle, allowing the hair to be pulled out from the root. Almost any area of the body can be waxed and new hairs do not grow back in the waxed area for three to eight weeks. Waxing removes the hair and dead skin cells leaving the skin smooth.
New hair growth in waxed areas is soft and fine, not sharp and coarse like shaved hair. After repeated waxing, hair regrowth is less common and eventually some hair never regrow.
Preparation before waxing: Appropriate hair length for body waxing is 1/4″-1/2″. Shorter hair achieves inconsistent results. Longer hair should be trimmed before arriving for your appointment. Please manually exfoliate the area to be waxed with a scrub or textured cloth before your appointment.
Waxing Hair Removal: Answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
1. How does hair waxing work?
A wax combination is spread thinly over the skin. A cloth strip is pressed on the top and then ripped off with a quick movement removing the wax along with the hair and dead skin cells leaving the skin smooth.
2. What’s the difference between hot waxes and cold waxes?
Good hot waxes melt just above body temperature so they can be easily spread thinly over the skin. As they harden they trap the hair in the wax so it is removed by the roots when the wax is ripped off.
Cold waxes are available in precoated strips which can be pressed directly onto the skin. The hair sticks to the wax and is then removed with the quick pull back action. (Cold waxing is also known as Persian waxing)
3.What is the effect on the skin?
As dead skin cells are removed in this process the skin can feel quite smooth afterwards. The hair waxing action does cause the skin to sting and many find a soothing skin healing cream to be helpful afterwards. Some persons find the skin reacts with redness and bumps which disappear after a few hours.
4.Are there any health precautions to keep in mind with hair waxing?
Some physicians do not recommend hair waxing for persons suffering from diabetes or who have varicose veins or poor circulation as they are more susceptible to infection.
Users of Retin-A, Renova, Differin or Accutane are advised not to use hair waxing on the face as these medications tend to weaken the skin and tearing of the skin may occur when the wax is removed.
Hair waxing should not be done on areas of skin affected by warts, pimples, moles or rashes or on skin that is irritated, chapped or suffering from sunburn. Never apply wax to peeling, broken skin or varicose veins. Never apply wax to the nipples when removing hair from the breast area.
5.On what body areas can hair waxing be used?
It is wise to test a small area first but generally waxing can be used on most parts of the body. The exceptions are the male genitals, nipples, inside the ears and nose, eyelashes.
6. How long before hair reappears?
Generally between 3 and 8 weeks. Less hair regrows and it is generally finer. Eventually some hair never regrows.
7. Will the hair Grow Back thicker/stronger/ darker?
Don't bald men wish! When hair is shaved, it is cut off at the thick part of teh hair, which is why you can fell stubble the next day. A properly waxed hair is removed from the root, and when the hair starts to grow back it is a new hair, very fine at the tip, so no stubble. The only things I know that stimulates hair growth are HORMONES: NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL.

Clients will notice a difference even after the first treatment
Remember that your first 3 SugarBrig sessions are the most important. It is imperative to have these appointments booked fairly close together to achieve reduction more quickly
Advantages of SugarBriging
Pure and Natural Ingredients
Wax has many chemical ingredients while sugaring paste is made from 100% NATURAL INGREDIENTS with no testing on animals and with no harmful side effects caused by allergic reactions. It is so natural you can EAT it!
It Is Not As Hot
Hot Wax must be heated to a very high degree in order to become liquefied. This amount of heat can cause burning and scarring. It also causes swelling in the tissues, which makes hair removal difficult. Long term use can breakdown the underlying connecting tissues, especially in the lip and brow areas which is associated with WRINKLING.
The Advanced Sugaring Paste is applied at body temperature making it safe for spider veins and varicose veins since it will not increase blood supply. It will never burn the skin.
It Is Easier To Clean Up
After waxing, the client is usually left sticky. Sugar can be easily cleaned up with water. Clients never feel sticky after treatments.
It Will Not Stick To The Skin
Wax has been known to remove more than just the hair, since it can adhere directly to live skin cells, which makes waxing painful and irritating. Wax cannot be applied to an area more than once (twice maximum).
Sugar can not adhere to live skin cells. It will remove the hair and exfoliate the dead skin cells, thus making it safe for dry itch eczema and dry psoriasis, but leaves the new skin intact. It is gentle enough to go over the same area more than once when necessary to remove the shortest and most coarse hair, without causing skin damage or irritation.
It Never Dries
Most waxes must be immediately removed before drying. This means repetitious dipping and stripping, making the process longer than necessary.
Sugar will not dry, so you can work over an entire area without constant dipping and stripping.
It Will Not Break As Many Hairs
One of the most common problems waxers face is early re-growth due to broken hairs. Waxing can leave 15-30% breakage behind. Since wax hardens on the hair, it has the tendency to break it off at the surface, rather than pull it out.
Using our Basic Sugaring System the sugar stays pliable, which gives more support to the hair, removing it cleanly. Using our Advanced Technique the paste wraps around the hair shaft making it pliable, while seeping below the mouth of the follicle and lubricating the hair to make the extraction more complete and gentle.
It is More Sanitary
Cross contamination in a waxing room is always a danger, especially since bacteria will grow inside of a wax jar.
The sugar paste has such a high concentration of sugar, bacteria cannot breed in the jar.
Can Remove Very Short Hairs
Wax products require two to three weeks growth before treatment when a client is shaving.
Our Advanced Sugaring Technique requires less than 1/8 inch or four to seven days growth, even after shaving.
Treatments
If you are planning to use Body Sugaring to soften or reduce hair, it is important that your first 3 Sugaring sessions be booked fairly close together. These are your most important bookings as they will more quickly reduce the amount of overall hair and soften coarse, stubborn hair. For best results, begin booking your treatments 6 to 9 months prior to the date that you would like to see optimal results, for example a vacation; a wedding date; the summer season. Sugaring the eyebrow area, results in a less painful, more thorough removal of hairs, and allows for a slower growth of hair as it leads to a permanent reduction
Pre and Post Suagring Advice
About Exfoliation and Sugaring:
Exfoliating allows the Sugaring treatment to be less troublesome and results in a timely session as dead or dry skin can accumulate
We recommend using a loofah mitt a few times a week in the bath or shower
Exfoliation promotes circulation and most importantly, frees the skin of excess build-up which often results in ingrown hair
Please do not exfoliate the day before, the day of, and the day after a treatment, as skin can easily become irritated
Exfoliation should be a natural part of your body care regimen Exfoliation of the face is not required for Sugaring Treatments
Pre-Sugaring Advices:
Cleansing the the area to be Sugared thoroughly is appreciated
Please do not apply any facial/body creams or deodorants to the area to be Sugared the day of your treatment. This may cause the removal of hair to be more difficult. If you require moisturization, please use a lotion
Using a lotion after exfoliation, properly hydrates the skin, resulting in smoother, ingrown-free skin. Pat skin dry, then moisturize
Women: Please try to avoid timing your appointments with your cycle, as you may be more sensitive at this time
Post-Sugaring Advices:
If your skin is more sensitive, you may experience temporary redness. This reaction is normal, and most commonly disappears within an hour after treatment
Avoid direct heat such as, hot baths, or sun-tanning immediately following a treatment
Excessive perspiration may irritate the skin directly after a treatment. So, please do not workout immediately afterwards
A Dead Sea Salt Bath can be soothing, if you require a little extra TLC following your treatment
