Hair Removal
Alyssa is a trained waxing and sugar technician and is certified in the
Professional Body Sugaring Technique by Sugar of the Nile.

WHAT IS SUGARING?
Hair removal using sugar paste was pioneered by the ancient Egyptians. Sugar of the Nile produces a paste made from all natural ingredients, including real sugar and lemon juice, which provides mild and effective hair removal. It is easy to use, gentle on skin, and contains absolutely no chemicals or by-products. It is never tested on animals. In fact, it’s so natural, you can even eat it!

HOW IT WORKS
The warmed sugar paste is applied first in the opposite direction of hair growth
and then then flicked off in the in the direction of hair growth.

WHY SUGAR INSTEAD OF WAX?

Safety
Sugar is heated at a lower temperature than wax and therefore will not burn the client or lift their skin. Clients with sensitive skin may also experience far less irritation with sugaring.
Sugar does not adhere to live skin and also contains no irritating resins.
Easy clean-up
Sugar paste is water soluble, meaning you can clean off any residue
left on the skin with plain water, unlike regular wax.
Greater accuracy
Sugar paste can be applied over missed hairs. The paste is very gentle and can be put right over an area that was just sugared but missed some hairs, without fear of irritation or skin lifting.

Permanency
Over time, frequent sugaring can cause the hair follicle to become damaged and stop growing hair.
