Sugaring is a natural method of hair removal that uses sugar, water, and lemon juice to form a paste. The paste is applied against the growth of the hair and removed with the growth by adhering to the hair shaft and pulling it out from the follicle. Sugaring is often compared to waxing, but it is generally considered gentler on the skin. It can remove hair as short as 1/16 of an inch and is effective for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Types of Sugaring Techniques:
Hand (Traditional) Method: Using the fingers to mold and flick the sugar paste directly on the skin.
Strip Method: Applying the paste and using a cloth or paper strip to remove it.
Applicator Method: Applying the paste with a spatula or applicator for precision.
Benefits of Sugaring:
Made from natural, biodegradable ingredients.
Less painful than waxing as it doesn’t stick to the skin.
Reduces the risk of ingrown hairs over time.
Hair can grow back finer and softer with consistent use.
The products and methods used at Lashes a la Mode are the healthiest and most effective method of removing body hair. Our technique methodically works the paste into your follicle thickness and direction. Working the paste into the follicle ensures more consistent removal of the root hair, which provides longer and better results. Lashes a la Mode results can last up to 4-6 weeks, due to higher likelihoods of entire hair root removal.
We use only clean and natural products containing the purest ingredients. Our sugar paste consists of: organic sugar, lemon and water! It’s so good, you can eat it! The best part is, it’s never applied hot.
