frequently asked:

Do you only do intimate sugaring?

We only offer what is on our treatment menu. For facial hair removal, we now sell our own product, 17 years body sugaring experience has been poured into this kit.

If I am going on holiday can I be sugared a few days before?

Yes, but we do advise at least 2 sessions before a sunny break. Always be sure to follow our before and aftercare advice, which is sent to you by email, before your appointment.

I often get ingrowing hairs will this be a better solution?

Good Lord yes! you will not believe how many clients mention this after sugaring.

We cannot guarantee that you will never get any ingrowing hairs, however many of our clients find that sugaring causes less ingrowing hair or none at all. You can read a lot more here

How does Sugaring work?

Unlike shaving and hair removal creams, sugaring (similar to some waxing) removes the hair from the root.

sugar sticks more to the hair than the skin, therefore less uncomfortable when removed
excellent for sensitive skin
causes less irritation
more accurate at removing hair than many other methods due to its consistency so
there is less hair breakage
our methods mean it lasts longer than other ways to remove unwanted hair
we are extremely skilled at all body sugaring methods

If hair snaps off at the root this can cause irritation such as ingrowing hairs, pimples, and annoying red spots because the hair will have a sharp end and then as it breaks through the surface of the skin, to continue its life as a hair, it can then cause you irritation.

You will most likely find yourself scratching and aggravating your skin, making it red and most possibly infecting the area with bacteria – so why put yourself through all that?

I’ve been allergic to wax so why would this be any different?

Our product is natural, vegan and made with British sugar, we now make all our own pastes.

made from sugar, water, and lemon
no additives
doesn’t go on really hot
water-soluble so the product can easily be wiped away
does not raise your skin’s temperature, this can also cause a reaction.
When heat opens your pores, any additives in any product applied can then seep into your skin causing a reaction. Unless you are allergic to one of our ingredients you will be fine and it is extremely unlikely that you will get a reaction.
