PRE-SUGARING
Choose Your Sugarist Wisely Select a certified sugarist who comes highly recommended and listens to your needs.
Complete Your Client Profile: Fill out your sugarist’s Client Profile and Consent Form online before your appointment.
Ideal Hair Length: Ensure your hair is between 1/16th and 1/4 of an inch on the day of your appointment. Longer hair can be sugared but usually adds additional time and discomfort.
Hair Trimming: Trim longer hair with a #2 guard if needed before your appointment.
Exfoliate and Moisturize: Preparing your skin the day before your appointment gives you optimal results.
Stay Hydrated: Keep yourself well-hydrated in the days leading up to your sugaring.
Breathing Techniques: Learn and practice breathing techniques to manage any discomfort during your appointment.
Book Around Your Menstrual Cycle: To reduce pain, consider booking your appointments between the last day you are bleeding to the day before you ovulate. For people who have a 28 day cycle and bleed for 4-5 days, and ovulate around day 14, you would want to book between day 5-13.
DAY OF SUGARING
Plan for Tranquility: Schedule a peaceful day to minimize stress.
Being Nervous is Normal: Tell your sugarist how you are feeling. They are there to support you.
Hydration is Key: Drink water and avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of your appointment.
Diet Considerations: Avoid eating acidic foods before your sugaring session.
Prep Your Skin: Ensure your skin is free from makeup, deodorant, perfume/cologne, and lotion.
Comfortable Attire: Wear loose, clean clothing to your appointment.
Pain Management: If approved by your doctor, consider taking a pain reliever 30 minutes before your session.
DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT
Open Communication: Share any questions, concerns, or needs with your sugarist.
Mindful Reminder: Remind yourself that any discomfort is brief and will yield excellent results.
Pain Management Tools: Use breathing techniques or our provided stress ball during the sugaring process.
Tampon Usage: If using a tampon, tuck the string inside the vagina for the appointment.
Future Appointments: Before leaving, schedule your next appointment, typically 3-6 weeks apart depending on the type of service.
THE FIRST 48 HOURS AFTER SUGARING
Normal Reactions: On freshly sugared skin you can expect redness, tiny spots of blood, and swelling, which should subside within a few hours.
Cold Compress: Apply a clean, cold compress to soothe your skin if needed.
Skin Protection: Sugared skin should avoid heat, friction, and contact with dirty hands or clothing.
Activity Restrictions: Steer clear of sex, heavy exercise, saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, pools, lakes, and hot tubs.
Product Selection: Avoid using skincare products, including deodorant, unless advised by your sugarist.
Sun Protection: Shield your sugared skin from the sun and tanning beds.
Postpone Exfoliation: Refrain from exfoliating your skin until it returns to feeling normal.
UNTIL YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT
Reach Out for Guidance: Contact your sugarist for any advice or concerns.
Hydration Continues: Stay hydrated for overall skin health.
Daily Moisturizing: Apply a natural, fragrance-free moisturizer daily.
Regular Exfoliation: Exfoliate 2-3 times a week for smooth, ingrown-free skin.
Clothing Considerations: Avoid clothing that causes friction on sugared areas.
Say No to Shaving: Resist the urge to shave between appointments, as it delays the benefits of sugaring.
Ingrown Hair Care: Refrain from picking at ingrown hairs; opt for exfoliation or use ingrown serum instead.
