Sugaring
Sugaring is much less painful than your traditional waxing; however, there is some discomfort in your hair being pulled from the root. Because the hair is being extracted from the same direction in which it grows, the process is much more gentle than waxing and does not create ingrown hair.

Exfoliating and moisturizing the day before will help the process by lifting and loosening those hairs for an easy extraction. Skip this the day of! Use very little to no moisturizer the day of your service. Wear loose fitting clothing and lose the undies!
You can continue to exfoliate again in 2 - 3 days after the service. It is recommended that you exfoliate your skin at least 3x a week. Some require more and some less. Every Body is different.

Electrology
Electrology is the practice of permanent hair removal using specialized devices to destroy hair growth cells with electrical currents.
The process involves treating each hair follicle individually. During the treatment, you will feel a slight heat sensation as we are destroying the hair cells that control the development of the hair. Once the hair cells have been eliminated, the hair follicle will have no more ability to regenerate.
An electrologist inserts a very fine needle into the natural opening of the hair follicle alongside the hair shaft. A current is then applied to destroy the hair growth cells.
Electrolysis is the only 100% true permanent hair removal treatment and the only permanent treatment recognized by the FDA.
Because of the hair growth phases and how coarse the hairs, they cannot always be eliminated with one treatment; thus, breaking down the hair growth cells may require additional treatments. A treatment plan that will address your specific hair removal needs will be recommended based on a personal and confidential consultation.
The process of growing, resting, and shedding are known as the hair growth cycle. This sequence of events is repeated constantly until a hair ceases to be formed.
Hairs have differing cycles of growth, many of which are not visible on the surface of the skin at the same time.
The number of treatments necessary varies with each client. Treatment sessions can range from 15 minutes to more than an hour depending on the area being treated.
Factors such as hair growth cycles, the quantity and structure of hair presented, previous use of temporary hair removal methods, heredity, hormone function, certain medication and stress influence the treatment program for each individual. It is important to follow the recommended treatment plan to achieve optimum results.
Immediately following treatment, there may be slight redness or sensitivity, which varies with each individual. The latest technology has made electrolysis more comfortable and effective than ever before. You will provided with post treatment instructions and the personal attention you need. You are in the hands of the best care from a skilled hair removal professional.
Electrolysis works on all skin and hair types. It can be applied to most facial and body parts, including: eyebrows, chin, upper & lower lip, jaw line & sides of the face, breast & underarms, abdomen, bikini line, legs and back.
Currently we are only providing Electrology services for hair on the upper body.
Yes! Electrology is recognized by the FDA and the American Medical Association as the only 100% permanent method of hair removal. It permanently destroys the growth cells of the hair follicle, preventing future hair growth.
Electrolysis treatments are all about timing and intensity. Electrologists can choose between three different methods of treatment, each with its own variation of comfort levels but with the same comfort, effectiveness and permanency. Your specific needs will always be considered.
Body Sugaring is a temporary hair removal method that uses an all-natural paste (sugar, water, and lemon juice) to extract hair from the root in the natural direction of growth. It is gentle on the skin and ideal for smoothing larger areas.
Electrology (Electrolysis) is a method of permanent hair removal. It uses a tiny probe inserted into each individual hair follicle to apply a tiny electrical current, destroying the hair growth cells permanently.
Yes, unlike laser hair removal (which relies on pigment contrast), electrology works effectively on all hair colors (including blonde, gray, red, and white) and all skin tones and types.
Because hair grows in distinct cycles (anagen, catagen, and telogen), hair can only be permanently treated while in the active growth phase. Therefore, a series of treatments is always required. The exact number of sessions varies depending on the treatment area, hair density, genetics, and previous hair removal methods, and will be mapped out during your personalized consultation.
While discomfort varies from person to person, body sugaring is generally considered less painful than traditional waxing. Because the natural paste only adheres to dead skin cells and hair (not live skin) and is removed in the direction of hair growth, it causes significantly less breakage, irritation, and pulling on the skin.
- For Sugaring: Allow your hair to grow out to about 1/4 inch (roughly the length of a grain of rice) so the paste can properly grip the hair. Avoid applying heavy lotions or oils on the day of your appointment.
- For Electrology: Ensure the hair is long enough to be grasped by tweezers (about 1 to 2 millimeters, or a few days of growth). Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin if treating the face, and stay well-hydrated.
Electrology may not be recommended or may require a doctor's clearance for individuals with pacemakers, active skin infections, severe uncontrolled diabetes, or certain electronic medical devices. A thorough medical history review during your consultation ensures your treatment is completely safe.
