Most know that “sugaring” is an advanced procedure for removing hair with sugar paste instead of wax paste or a wax paste with honey in it. There is NO WAX in the sugar paste! NONE! ZERO!
The reason I bring this up is that several clients who came into our Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach locations for a Brazilian wax with “sugaring” claimed they had already done “sugaring” before and there was no difference!. On further review they informed me that their Brazilian wax or bikini wax was performed with HONEY IN THE WAX or their Brazilian wax or bikini wax was done with BEES WAX.
They assumed or were lead to believe that a Brazilian wax or bikini wax done with HONEY IN THE WAX or with BEES WAX was “sugaring”!!!!! Really!
Also because there Brazilian wax had honey in it or because the wax used was bees wax it was ALL NATURAL. Really!!!
DO THE TASTE TEST
Not sure if it’s sugaring or waxing? Do the taste test! Have the esthetician taste the waxing paste. Sugaring is so natural and safe you can eat it! Not so with wax paste! The wax has toxins in it and also could contain bacteria. ALSO this will end any of the “double dipping” that can be done with waxing!
Sugaring vs waxing
OK, let set matters straight so there is no confusion. First let me repeat something: Sugaring is an advanced procedure for removing hair with sugar paste instead of wax paste. There is NO wax what so ever, BEES or otherwise, in the sugar paste! Honey in the wax I think is a marketing gimmick to get people to think or believe (falsely) they are doing “sugaring”.
At our Hermosa Beach or Manhattan Beach salons we do offer waxing and sugaring. When we do a Brazilian or bikini with wax we use no sugar. When we do a Brazilian or bikini sugaring we use no wax…just a paste made up sugar, lemon and water! There are many advantages of doing a Brazilian waxing or bikini waxing with “sugaring” like it really is NON toxic, all natural
As explained before “sugaring” is an advanced procedure for the removal of hair. Mastering the art of removing hair with “sugaring” is very, very difficult. It takes a lot of practice. The learning curve to perform a Brazilian wax or bikini wax with sugaring is up to SIX months or longer BUT ITS WORTH IT!
THE ADVANTAGES OF REAL “SUGARING” OVER WAXING
From our observations and our clients the advantages of “sugaring” over waxing with bees wax or wax with honey in it are as follows:
- Less discomfort
- Hair grows back slower
- Hair is finer
Brazilian waxing and bikini waxing are very popular in the Torrance, CA, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach areas but “sugaring” is becoming even more popular because it’s worth it!
