Also known as "Halawa", this hair removal method dates back to ancient times in Arab countries. Sugar wax consists essentially of sugar, lemon juice, and sometimes honey. It is designed for sensitive skin and is an ideal alternative to traditional wax. Sugaring is a method that only adheres to hair, minimizing irritation and leaving skin soft to the touch.
Sugar hair removal, also known as sugaring, is a natural method that uses a sugar-based paste to remove hair directly from the follicle. Unlike wax, sugar paste does not adhere to the skin, making it less irritating and gentler on the skin.

Preparation: Before hair removal, ensure the area to be treated is clean and exfoliated to remove dead skin cells. This step facilitates the paste's adhesion to the hair.
Application: The sugar paste is heated to a warm temperature, often in a microwave. It is then applied to the skin in the direction of hair growth, which allows it to properly envelop each hair.
Removal: Use a sticky ball of paste, roll it over the area against the direction of growth. The hair is then uprooted directly from the hair follicle, leaving the skin soft and smooth.
After each sugar hair removal session, hairs are removed directly from the follicle, giving smooth and soft skin. With each subsequent session, hair regrowth is often finer and sparser. With regular sessions, hair growth can slow down significantly, although unlike laser hair removal, sugar hair removal is not a permanent solution. However, with continued application, the frequency of necessary sessions can decrease over time.

First session
The esthetician will evaluate the area to be waxed to determine the thickness and direction of hair growth. She will ensure your skin is clean and free of cream or oil residue. If necessary, she may lightly exfoliate the area to remove dead skin cells, ensuring better adhesion of the sugar paste.
She will then prepare the sugar paste, ensuring it is at a comfortable temperature for the skin. Application will begin by first validating your comfort level. Using fluid movements, she will apply the paste in the direction of hair growth and remove it in the opposite direction. Throughout the treatment, she will ensure to cover the entire desired area using the appropriate sugar hair removal technique.
The cost of treatment depends on the area to be treated and the length of treatment required. During the phone consultation, you will receive fixed prices that will be confirmed or adjusted during the in-person consultation.

Sugar hair removal for men does not necessarily cost more per session than for women. Prices are determined the same way for both sexes. The cost varies depending on the area to be treated, but it is mainly based on the time needed to cover the entire area specified by the client. Although the sugar hair removal process is the same for everyone, the cost may sometimes seem higher for men because they generally have thicker and denser hair. Additionally, their hair is often more robust and stimulated by testosterone production, which may require more frequent or longer sessions to achieve optimal results.
