SUGAR WAXING
THE SUGARED DUCK
what is sugar wax?
Sugar Wax is a putty made up of 3 simple ingredients: sugar cane, lemon juice, and water. When combined, the resulting putty is a solution that makes waxing hair an easy and gentle alternative to the classic hard wax. The warm solution spreads over the area of hair with ease making removal of the hair effective while having minimal effect on the actual skin.

How it works
Preparation: To ensure optimal results, the hair should be at least 1/4 inch long. You should avoid shaving or trimming the area for at least two weeks prior to your appointment.
The Process: The sugar wax paste is warmed and applied to the skin in the direction of hair growth. After it adheres to the hair, it’s swiftly removed against the grain. The process is quick, and our professionals use techniques to minimize discomfort.
Aftercare: After your session, we’ll apply a soothing cream to calm the skin and prevent irritation. We’ll also provide aftercare instructions to ensure the best results.
