as always, this little shop was welcoming and personal. Clean and organized. Maika is a brow perfectionist- I will not let anyone else touch my brows! She is a gem and so is her shop. read more

It was the first time I had my eyebrows done so I wasn't sure what to expect. The receptionist was helpful and friendly. Lovely Anastasiia did my brows exactly as I asked, and I was in and out quickly. The price was also reasonable. I highly recommend it. read more

I decided to come here on a whim when I was down in Calgary and GimmeSomeSugar was recommended to me. I got a Brazilian done by Dorinda and she was very friendly! She took the time to explain the process to me and was very patient. She was very quick and efficient as well so the process didn't take very long at all. The price was about $70 with tip which is quite average for a Brazilian but the ladies here are very friendly and I 100% recommend! read more

FOR BOYSSS!!!! So my boyfriend just got sugared by Dorinda and he said it was good. He likes the feeling of being clean and Dorinda made him feel very comfortable. read more

I just wanted to give this business some love. Sugaring is something I'd never tried before, and they couldn't have made me feel any more comfortable. From the front desk to the service, everything was top notch, relaxing, quick and I much preferred it to waxing. Definitely recommend. read more

Best sugaring services in Calgary! I highly recommend coming by to get sugared. The service is always amazing and the staff is so kind. Dorinda is my girl and she always gives the best sugaring services by making me feel comfortable and never leaves a hair behind! I have been a regular here for almost 2 years now and I always will be. read more

Had an incredibly disappointing experience. First time there and I booked online, and checked the wrong service, when I got in for my appoint I told her I made a mistake, which she said no problem she would tell front desk to change. When I went to pay they still charged me for the other service saying because I didn't tell the front desk and instead told the person I booked with the other service price stands so I paid almost double for the service I asked for. Would never recommend. read more

My friend recommended this place to me and it was my first time getting sugaring done (it was a Brazilian). The staff were really nice and chatted with me and explained the whole process while it was being done. It didn't actually hurt that much either! I was also given some after care instructions and left feeling nice and smooth! read more

I've seen Morgan now a few times and I love that she just gets down to business and you can be in and out within 15 minutes or less! I also really love their "regulars" program. So happy I found this place! read more

So as usual I follow my sister, or she follows me. Pain free hair removal? I'm in. Going on vacation to Hawaii soon, and this is one of those things i dread doing. Maika made the process quick, easy and much less painful than traditional waxing. It' was almost as if we were just two gf's hanging out, having a casual conversation, almost...when it wasn't interrupted by the strategic ripping of hair out of the skin. Again though, she is great at what she does, and if you have to have to/want to this done, see her. The great thing about sugaring is the lack of sugar paste sticking to the skin, so it doesn't feel like a terrible sunburn when you're done and the irritation that can normally happen is minimized. You will be happy you did it, and you lady parts will thank you. read more

What an unbelievable experience, and an amazing reminder of what "going way above and beyond for client" looks like. Yesterday I went in for the appointment that I booked online (or so I thought). First of all, online booking is my favourite, so that's one point right there. I get to my appointment about 15 minutes early and the receptionist (I'm sorry I didn't get your name!) greeted me very warmly and welcomed me as a first time client. I told her what time my appointment was at, and very kindly she apologized and said they didn't have anything booked for me. This was completely my fault, because although I've been using online booking forever, it didn't even register to me that I'd never gotten a confirmation email - oi! Even though they had a steady stream of clients coming in and out, the receptionist goes "You know what? I think we can get you in at the time that you wanted any way! Have a seat and we'll see what we can do". Well, I had booked for multiple areas, which means I wasn't just a quick in and out appointment, and they STILL got me in. How unbelievable is that? My mistake, completely my fault, they had every right to ask me to reschedule and come back, and instead they pulled together and got me in. On top of that, I never felt rushed and I never felt like a second class customer. While I was waiting for my technician Jenna to finish, the owner (Maika) and a new receptionist (Angele) came out and started talking to me as if we were all old friends. These ladies are so kind, so friendly, and you can tell they really appreciate your business. When Jenna finally came to get me she greeted me with a smile and ushered me into her room. Now, I'm a veteran waxer, but have never been sugared before. After doing some research on the benefits of sugaring (I'm very into natural and organic beauty products) and after having almost every one I know recommend Gimmesomesugar I couldn't resist booking an appointment - and I'm so glad I did. Jenna explained everything to me, was friendly, professional, and very quick. Ladies, let me tell you, SUGARING IS THE WAY TO GO. So much less pain, and so fast - I was in and out in 25 minutes. I wish I could give these wonderful women a 10 star rating, I really do. I'm telling you as someone who has worked in the beauty industry for 10 years, this is what you're looking for. They're clean, hygienic, quick, accommodating and they really appreciate having you as a client. Thanks again ladies, you've got a new client for life! read more

I've done the waxing and wanted to try sugaring because I heard great things about it (i.e. all natural, doesn't irritate skin, etc). Maika was fantastic. Yes it hurts (you are pulling something out of your body afterall), but she was very warm and friendly, hygenic and explained the process (uses sugar only once and doesn't double dip in the pot for starters). Just awesome. Didn't have any irritation and didn't need ice. So awesome I highly recommend sugaring and especially Maika. Price is VERY reasonable as well. Do it. read more

Went as newbie in sugar wax and I immediately fell inlove with the results! Im going there with my sister on my next appointment!

I found 'Gimme Some Sugar on Yelp and decided to try it because it was on my way home. I went in without an appointment and had my eyebrows "sugared". Angele has a lovely personality and was efficient and professional. The salon is kind of tucked away in the plaza but it is very clean, the decor is fresh & fun. I will go again. read more

Customer service has been fantastic every time I've gone! Having just moved here, this is the first place I went and haven't been disappointed at all. I never tried sugaring before and used to get hot wax, but the results are so much better and last longer than waxing. highly recommend. read more

I went to see Maika because of the great reviews on here and they were not wrong! She was so friendly and professional. I was extremely comfortable throughout the process (though it was quick!). It didn't feel like I was getting a Brazilian - just having a casual visit with a friend, but half naked. I didn't see any signs on the Vanity Vault indicating Gimme Some Sugar was in there, which is probably because it's a new location, but it is there! I live quite a distance from this location, but would happily return because of the great experience! Thanks Maika :) read more

I've been going to Gimme Some Sugar for a few years now and I always get amazing service with friendly staff. Super clean and well decorated with a huge display of products to try. Maika is wonderful, makes me feel comfortable while getting my treatments. I'll continue to get sugared here and I always recommend this place to my friends and they are never disappointed. read more

Maika is absolutely amazing at what she does! She is extremely professional, and can say she definitely specializes in Brazilians. I have been to many other salons for waxing, and cannot recommend having sugaring done as an alternative (less prone to ingrowns, and less painful!) I usually have my underarms and brazilian done in about 15 minutes (woohoo!), which is great for anyone on a tight schedule. Currently pregnant with my 2nd baby, I'm very limited to different hair removal methods, and would recommend body sugaring to anyone, especially Gimme Some Sugar Body Sugaring. Keep up the great work!! read more

I cannot believe how good my Brazilian sugar was here! I was so nervous from my last waxing experience, but Leah took her time and went slow. It was far less painful than waxing, and the overall experience was better. I laughed the whole time! The ladies at the front are so friendly and great as well, I definitely will be a regular here! Thanks guys! read more

I have only had waxing done once before and swore I would never do it again because of the pain. Well my wedding is coming up in April and we are going to Mexico so I wanted to make sure I was in good shape down there. After coming on Yelp and reading review after review and trying to find a place I came across Gimme Some Sugar. I had never heard of sugaring and from the reviews and the website it sounded like it might be a bit less painful and not overly expensive. I was really nervous and of course it hurt like hell but it wasn't nearly as bad as my waxing experience. Maika was very professional, the place was super clean, and she made me feel comfortable considering she was yanking hair from down there with everything spread! I totally recommend her services and I will be a return customer for sure! read more

Always loved coming here, have been for years ! Beautiful location and great staff ! Look, you're getting hair ripped out, it doesn't feel great. Take a couple Tylenol and a shot of tequila if you need to! read more

This was my first time with Sugar wax and I am happy I tried it! GimmeSomeSugar was great. I loved how I could book online and take my time trying to find a time that works for me. I had Dinna and she was very professional and helped me through my first Brazilian Sugar Wax. The first time is supposed to hurt the most (after shaving the hair) but it was nothing compared to what you experience with strip waxing. Still painful, but Dinna helped me through it and reassured me it will only get easier! She was quick and polite and I am very pleased with the results and lack of pain afterward. I will definitely be going back. Thank you!! read more

I was very very scared to get a Brazilian, based on past experience but I went to see Lorelei and she made it much better than I thought it would be! Thanks for changing my mind about Brazilians!!!!! I'll be back!!! read more

Saw great reviews on yelp, thought to try it out. Made my first appointment with Dina and when arrived late, she shamed me for being late for my appointment. As a new resident in the Calgary area, I was very late for my appointment however I called in advance and gave them notice. Reception was okay with it but Dina definitely schooled me on how she could have taken other clients in during this time and all of a sudden I didn't want to be there anymore. But her work was clean. I went back the second time (on time as scared to upset them again) since I noticed the growth slower post-sugaring and got serviced by Angele. She was an absolute sweetheart and I'll wait to see how my growth goes second time around :) read more

Decided to go try Gimme Some Sugar based on Leah's review (thanks Leah) and because it's so close to my home. I did some reading ahead of time about sugaring since it doesn't seem to be a popular service in Calgary but after my experience with Maika, I'm never waxing again. The little room inside Amethyst salon in Southland Corner is simple and most importantly clean. Maika made me feel very comfortable and as soon as I was in, I was out. Using the traditional Egyptian method of only paste, she was done With me in 10 minutes! Not only is sugaring way less painful than traditional waxing, it's also a bit cheaper and more sanitary. I also have noticed less breakage of the hair, and no having sticky residue left over after the service is compete. Maika is amazing at sugaring, because its all she does. FYI while she does do most body parts, she doesn't do legs. She offers online booking and confirmations as well. I'm officially a convert. read more

Awesome place...Maika uses the paste method of sugaring and I swear it's less painful than waxing and my skin is less irritated afterwards. More importantly I know this place has good hygiene practices...there is a container of Cavi-wipes in the room (the same used at the hospital). Maika wears gloves for the whole time and even manages to make good conversation during a Brazilian. I recommend this place! read more

Discovered GimmeSomeSugar & sugaring just over a year ago. Started with a bikini clean-up and over a few months, worked up to a Brazilian. I go every four weeks or so now and regrowth is minimal. My appointments are fast; 10-15 minutes, an enjoyable chat and I'm on my way. Sugaring is not pain-free but they are fast & thorough and I'm done before I know it. I get the same great service with both Maika & Dinna (I book online with whomever is available). I travel a fair bit and when I'm away and due for an appointment, I've come to know that my experience away from home is never going to be as fast or as thorough as I've become accustomed to at GimmeSomeSugar. As a woman in my 50's, a Brazilian wasn't a 'thing' in my younger years but I can't imagine anything different today. Love this place. read more

I've tried lots of different waxing places since moving to Calgary and I can honestly say that Gimme Some Sugar has been the best experience and best result. Dinna was hilarious and great to chat with throughout the process as well as very skilled. Definitely will be a repeat customer! read more

I have been using Maika's and Gimmesome sugars services for over 10 years and they are nothing short of amazing. The salon has a serene vibe and you can't help but feel relaxed. I recently had my brows done and tinted there and LOVE how they look! Sugaring is the way to go for hair removal. It leaves your skin feeling amazing! read more

Microblading- know the shape you want before you get there, be polite and you will get the best and most honest service. Maika answered all my questions, made sure I was happy and gave her opinion when asked. They take pride in making you feel and LOOK good. The space is clean and they are excited to have you there! read more

I'm here visiting from out of town and wanted to get a bikini wax before heading home. I've never tried sugaring before so I wasn't sure how it would compare to hard wax which is what I'm used to. It was really fast, maybe hurt a bit more than wax, but the clean up was much easier and it did a good job. I'll be curious to see how it grows in compared to waxing but overall a really good experience. It's also clean and the decor in the waiting room is playful and well thought out. The only thing that I would like to see (if I lived in Calgary) would be a membership program like the one they have at fuzz wax bar in Toronto. Thanks for the very easy and quick experience. Thanks! :) read more

Let me just say that I've NEVER had any waxing/sugaring done before so I was terrified when I booked my appointment. I read other reviews and researched about sugaring and it sounded a lot better than waxing so I decided to give it a try. As soon as I walked in, she greeted me with a smile and was very professional yet friendly. The space looked clean and tidy, which was a good sign. As soon as the procedure began (I wanted a brazilian), I didn't know what to expect... it definitely wasn't as painful as I expected it to be. Sure, the first few were painful (On a scale of 1-10, it was probably at a 8) but as soon as I was almost halfway done, it reduced to a 3. It was over before I knew it (15 minutes or so) I highly recommend Maika and the price is reasonable. I'm definitely coming back and referring all my friends :) read more

Maika is so good at what she does. never an akward moment even when youre naked from waist down. she does her work quick and efficient. no hair left behind!! no irritation! again, SHES SO GOOD AT WHAT SHE DOES. after moving to calgary about a year ago, ive been to a few waxing places to find "my" waxer. maika is "my" waxer. i almost dont want to post up this review cuz i want to keep her a secret :/ read more

Love this place! Maika and her team are excellent at what they do and they treat you like gold! I have used their sugaring, waxing and eyelash services and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else! read more

Maika is excellent. I am relatively new to Brazilians. Brand new to sugaring. This process definitely hurts less than waxing and gives you amazing results. Maika manages to make you feel very comfortable despite what you are having done (and laying there pants-less). I would recommend to anyone- just wonderful! read more

I specifically booked with Maika after researching online about sugaring in Calgary. My confirmation of booking confirmed that I was with her. I got a confirmation call today and was moved to another person. I looked at the online booking and Maika was now booked with another appointment. I guess they don't value new clients. I would have even been flexible with time if they had asked me to come later as she has openings. Not being contacted and having what you specifically booked changed without your knowledge is just bad customer service. read more

I have never had a better waxing experience than I have had with Jenna. She is so kind, and is great to chat with. Fast, efficient and she is thorough. I have been waxed at other places before and the results were not comparable to this. If you are someone who has thick, coarse hair (like me) then sugaring will do you WONDERS! Also, this place is amazing - it's cute and very welcoming. They also play music while you get waxed to take your mind off what's happening. I only get waxed here now and it's amazing! Book with Jenna and you won't regret it! read more

First experience with any kind of hair removal. I had my back done and I'll be going back again in 6 weeks for sure. Great experience overall! read more

BEST EVER. I have tried most hair removal options out there except Sugaring. I am now addicted to it. I did my "down there" Under arms and Lower legs. I am also 30 weeks preggers. So I am not allowed pain killers. I did ok. Lets be honest it isn't pain free but it hurts WAY less than waxing. I was able to make it through the whole appointment and it had me wanting more. I will be going back in 4 weeks to do it all over again and was promised by the therapist that it would hurt less if I am consistent. Get booking, these guys have done very little advertising and they are booking up fast. read more

SO happy to have found Maika a few years ago. I have also seen Dinna and both are wonderful!! And now at the new location, I can see them more often!! The service is quick, the scheduling is made easy by phone or online, the entire staff is friendly and welcoming. I recommend this place all the time, not just because sugaring is so much better than waxing, but because the service is so great. Thanks ladies! read more
