BODY SUGARING IS BETTER THAN WAXING!
1. SUGAR PASTE WILL NOT REMOVE SKIN
sugar paste will not remove skin because it will NOT stick to live skin cells. With waxing, skin can be removed!
2. BODY SUGAR PASTE IS NOT HOT
sugar paste is applied to the skin at body temperature. Skin can NEVER be burned by body sugar paste! This cool paste is much more comfortable for Brazilian/bikini areas!! Hot wax feels extremely HOT on these tender, sensitive spots!!!
3. SUGARING IS MORE SANITARY THAN WAXING
sugar paste is never recycled and no double dipping occurs!
WE DO NOT RECYCLE OUR SUGAR!! - Each client gets their own fresh sugar!! Some salons recycle their wax!!!
NEVER EVER GO TO A SALON THAT DOUBLE DIPS INTO THE WAX POT!! Commonly salons and spas use a pot that heats the wax and apply it with a wooden stick to the skin. The technicians aren't supposed to put the stick back into the wax after it has touched the skin, but throw it away and take a fresh stick for each application. In other words, they shouldn't double-dip.
...But is double-dipping really that big of a deal? Absolutely. Waxing usually draws some blood, especially when performed on the body. So the stick will likely come into contact with blood, and if double-dipped, potentially infect the entire pot of wax with an infection or a disease the client may be carrying. Then, the next client being waxed could get infected. And, if you're thinking the wax is hot enough to kill any bacteria, it's not! Double-dipping is one of the signs to look for at the salon or spa, telling you to find somewhere else to go.
With sugaring - No sticks are used! In fact, only one glob of sugar paste is used on the client for the whole sugaring process. No cross contamination can occur!
4. BODY SUGARING LEADS TO THINNER LESS NOTICEABLE HAIR
by restructuring the root of the hair and making it smaller thus producing thinner, more fine hair with each subsequent sugaring treatment.
5. BODY SUGARING IS LESS PAINFUL THAN WAXING
The sugar must be pressed and massaged into the skin which makes this treatment both a relaxing experience as well as a hair removal treatment. The body sugar is applied in the opposite direction of hair growth and removed IN the direction of the hair growth (opposite of waxing) so there is less pain and (unlike waxing) less hair breakage occurs.
6. SUGAR WIPES UP WITH WATER
You will not leave our studio feeling sticky from wax residue or greasy from chemical wax solvents! Also, there is no damage to client clothing.
7. BODY SUGAR IS ALL NATURAL
it's made simply of sugar, water, lemon juice. YOU CAN EAT IT!! Wax is made up of manufactured resins and chemical compounds!
8. SUGARING DOES NOT REQUIRE MUCH HAIR GROWTH
hair only needs to be 1/8" long to be removed. About a week's worth of hair growth is sufficient! (Unlike waxing that requires 2 to 3 weeks of hair growth.)
9. BODY SUGARING EXFOLIATES THE SKIN
it's a wonderful treatment for clients that have dry skin or eczema!! It will help relieve the itching of eczema! Some clients have body sugaring treatments solely for eczema and enjoy the hair loss as an ADDED BONUS!!
10. BODY SUGARING WILL BRIGHTEN AND FRESHEN TATTOOS
it removes dead skin to make tattoos more vibrant!! With waxing, tattooed clients risk skin loss, thus damage to tattoos!
11. BODY SUGARING IS MORE EFFICIENT AT REMOVING HAIR THAN WAX
since the sugar paste is removed IN the direction of hair growth, less hair breakage occurs. With waxing, 70% of hair is broken off at skin surface due to the removal of wax in the opposite direction of hair growth. This makes sugaring results far more superior than waxing results.
