Sugaring hair removal in Rocky Hill, CT

Sugaring is the same price as waxing for every area. A Brazilian sugaring is $80, bikini $70, bikini line $40, underarm $30, half leg $65 and full leg $95.

Sugaring removes hair with a warm paste made from sugar, lemon and water. The paste is applied against the direction of hair growth and flicked off in the direction the hair grows, so it tends to pull less on the skin and can break fewer hairs.

Like waxing, it removes hair from the root, and results usually last 3 to 5 weeks.

Both remove hair from the root and give similar results. Sugaring paste only sticks to hair and dead skin, so it is often gentler for sensitive skin and for areas prone to ingrown hairs. Wax is quicker over large areas and works well on coarse hair. We can help you choose at your appointment.

You can make sugar paste at home from sugar, lemon juice and water, but getting the right temperature and texture is tricky, and an uneven pull can bruise skin or break hairs. For the bikini area especially, a professional sugaring session is safer and gives cleaner results.

Let hair grow to about a quarter inch, roughly the length of a grain of rice. Shower, skip lotions and oils on the area that day, and wear loose, breathable clothing. Avoid exfoliating, tanning and retinoid products on the area for a couple of days before.

For 24 to 48 hours, skip hot tubs, saunas, heavy workouts, tight clothing and fragranced products on the area. After that, exfoliate gently a few times a week and keep the skin moisturized to help prevent ingrown hairs.
