We’re all about making your Brazilian sugaring experience as comfortable, stress-free, and effective as possible—so you can enjoy silky-smooth skin with confidence!
What is a Brazilian Sugaring?
Brazilian sugaring is our most popular service, offering complete hair removal in the bikini area for silky-smooth, long-lasting results. Unlike traditional waxing, sugaring uses a 100% natural paste made of sugar, lemon, and water—making it a gentler, more skin-friendly alternative to waxing.
With Brazilian sugaring, you can choose how much (or how little) hair you’d like removed. Whether you prefer a full Brazilian (everything gone, front to back) or a customized shape, we’ve got you covered.
First Time Getting a Brazilian Sugaring? Here’s How to Prep
If you’re booking your first-ever Brazilian sugaring appointment, you might be feeling a mix of excitement and nerves—totally normal! The good news? With the right preparation, your experience can be smooth (literally!) and stress-free. Here’s how to prep for your Brazilian Wax:
1) Let It Grow (But Not Too Long!)
For the best results, your hair should be at least 1/8 to 1/4 inch long. This ensures the sugar paste can grip the hair properly for effective removal. If your hair is too short, the paste won’t be able to remove it. If it’s too long, trimming slightly can help reduce discomfort.
2) Exfoliate 24-48 Hours Before
Gently exfoliating a day or two before your appointment removes dead skin cells, helping the sugar paste adhere better and reducing the risk of ingrown hairs. Avoid harsh scrubs—a mild exfoliant or a soft washcloth works best.
3) Skip the Lotion & Oils on the Day Of
Moisturizers, oils, and even deodorant can create a barrier that makes sugaring less effective. Arrive at your appointment with clean, dry skin for the best results.
4) Choose Loose, Comfy Clothing
After your session, your skin might be slightly sensitive. Wear loose-fitting underwear and breathable clothing to avoid irritation. Soft cotton is best!
5) Stay Hydrated & Breathe
Drink plenty of water beforehand—hydrated skin makes hair removal easier. And don’t stress! If you’re nervous, take deep breaths and trust your sugarist to guide you through the process.
6) Plan Around Your Cycle
Your skin is more sensitive right before and during your period, so try to book your appointment at least a few days after your cycle for a more comfortable experience.
7) Know What to Expect
Your first time might be slightly more uncomfortable than future sessions (since your hair is thicker), but it gets easier with regular sugaring! The more consistent you are, the less discomfort you’ll feel over time.
Keeping Up with Your Routine: Brazilian Wax Prep for Returning Clients
If you’re returning for your Brazilian sugaring appointment within the recommended 4-6 week timeframe, you’re in the perfect rhythm for maintenance! By staying consistent, your hair will grow back thinner, softer, and more sparse, making each session easier and more comfortable. Plus, regular sugaring helps minimize ingrown hairs and extends the time you stay smooth.
Even though you’re familiar with the process, a little prep can still make a big difference in your results:
Skip shaving between sessions: Shaving can disrupt the hair growth cycle, making sugaring less effective in the long run.
Exfoliate regularly before your session: Start exfoliating 2-3 times per week leading up to your appointment to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.
Keep your skin hydrated: Moisturizing daily helps improve hair removal, but avoid lotions and oils on the day of your appointment.
Stick to your sugaring schedule: The more consistent you are, the less discomfort you’ll feel, and the longer your results will last.
Getting Back on Track: Brazilian Wax Prep After a Long Break
If it’s been a while since your last Brazilian sugaring appointment, don’t worry—you’re not alone! Life gets busy, and sometimes, maintaining a regular sugaring routine falls off the radar. The good news? Whether it’s been a couple of months or even longer, we can help you get back to smooth, hair-free skin.
Since your hair has had more time to grow, your session might feel a bit different than when you were on a regular schedule. Here’s how to prep for the best experience:
Check your hair length: Hair that’s too long (over ½ inch) can make the process slightly more uncomfortable. If needed, trim it slightly before your appointment—but don’t shave! (we can trim if necessary)
Hydrate your skin: Well-moisturized skin allows for easier hair removal, so apply a fragrance- free moisturizer daily, avoiding the day of your appointment.
Expect slightly more sensitivity: Since your hair may be thicker, your first sugaring session after a long break might feel more intense than usual—but it will get easier with consistency.
Commit to regular maintenance: After your session, try to schedule your next appointment within 4-6 weeks to keep regrowth soft and manageable.
Getting back into your sugaring routine is easier than you think! Stick with it, and you’ll soon be enjoying longer-lasting smoothness and less regrowth with every visit.
