Frequently Asked Questions

Ideally, your hair should be around 1/4 inch long (about the length of a grain of rice) for effective sugaring. This ensures the hair is long enough to be gripped by the sugar paste for removal.

Many people find sugaring to be less painful than traditional waxing because the sugar paste adheres less to the skin and more to the hair, resulting in a smoother removal process.

Sugaring can help reduce the occurrence of ingrown hairs compared to shaving because it removes hair from the root. Proper exfoliation before and after sugaring can further reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs.

Sugaring results typically last 4-6 weeks, similar to traditional waxing. Regular sugaring treatments can lead to hair regrowth that is finer and sparser over time.

Sugaring is generally suitable for sensitive skin types and those with allergies, as the natural ingredients (sugar, lemon, water) used in the paste are less likely to cause adverse reactions.

After sugaring, it's important to avoid sun exposure, hot baths, and tight clothing for 24-48 hours. Moisturize regularly and exfoliate gently to prevent ingrown hairs.

Sugaring is generally safe during pregnancy, but it's advisable to consult with your healthcare provider before undergoing any hair removal treatments.

Yes, it is generally okay to get sugared during your menstrual cycle if you have a clean tampon in place. The sugar paste adheres to the hair and not the skin, so menstrual flow does not affect the effectiveness of the sugaring process. However, it's essential to communicate with your sugarist beforehand and let them know about your menstrual cycle. They can ensure your comfort and hygiene throughout the session. If you have concerns or prefer to reschedule, many studios will accommodate your needs.
