069 / 100 - 2017 YELP 100 CHALLENGE…read more CRYSTAL IS AMAZING!!! I was looking at different waxing locations near Vista and came across Sugar San Diego. I had never heard of sugaring before, so I read up on Crystal's website and did a little bit of Google-fu. She had a discount going for first time customers who wanted to get a Brazilian and seeing as how I had always wanted to try, I thought, "why not!?" Sugaring is an all-natural method of removing hair and is often compared to standard wax. A lot of people say it's a lot more gentle than standard wax, so seeing as how I wanted to get a Brazilian, I thought this would be the best route to go. I scheduled my appointment online. Super fast, super easy. The day of my appointment, Crystal texted me with some directions so that it would be easier to find her office. Really sweet and helpful of her to do that! Once I filled out the new customer form, she took me to the back and we got started. It was my first time doing this, but Crystal was totally cool about it. She walked me through each step, explained what she was doing, and so on. I'm a bit of a baby when it comes to pain, so sugaring was a little painful for me. At one point, I had to ask to take a break LOL. Crystal didn't even blink twice at that request HAHAHA. She kept me distracted by chatting with me (she's so sweet and funny!) and gave me advice/tips & tricks on aftercare. The session itself didn't take that long and she did a very thorough and fantastic job! Sugaring does get easier the more you do it, so I'll definitely be coming back. Crystal's prices are definitely fair and reasonable - especially since you don't need to come back for 4-6 weeks. Definitely recommend Crystal and Sugar San Diego if any of you ladies are looking to try out sugaring! It was a great experience for me.

Absolutely love Sugar Sugar and all the wonderful ladies that work here! I was an avid waxer but…read morefound Sugar Sugar when I moved to the Sellwood area. I was curious about sugaring and decided to give it a try and I have never looked back. The sugaring experience is a little different from waxing but I've found it to be much less irritating and I feel like it keeps me smoother longer. During my first appointment they walked me through how sugaring was different from waxing and what to expect. Abby has created an amazing atmosphere here, she is very kind and welcoming along with all the great estheticians here. I've gotten sugared by several people and have always had a really wonderful experience. The space and rooms are always clean and have a very warm and welcoming vibe. Shout out to Taylor for being my go to esthetician she's awesome, but all the staff here are great! If you are on the fence about trying sugaring don't be! Here's your sign to make an appointment at Sugar Sugar and try it out!

Life happens, and I need to work with people who understand that accidents like missing or asking for a later appointment time can happen once in awhile. I also do not believe in their pricing structure. I got the same procedure done for literally $25 less than what they charge. I couldn't believe I had been over-paying so much.

When I got there at 6 minutes passed I was told I could not have the appnt because it would cause the appnt after to be late as well. Ok, I scheduled another appnt at 330, came early at 319 and sat until 346 before anyone was able was to start the appnt. If you are going to be strict about times with your customers, be respectful when you can't fulfill your responsibilities of time and equity. Moral of story: The manager is rude (seeks feedback and then defends her customer abuse. This explains why their aestheticians keep leaving all the time). Called for feedback and then offered nothing in return other than a "we can be late but you can't" explanation. Not returning. Third bad experience here and I'm done. Buyer be wary. They are NOT nice to customers or understanding. Aestheticians are great but managers, not so much.

Been getting sugared for about a year now. But I needed a last minute appointment and this popped…read moreup my search. They had a really good deal- 50% off a service & 10% Yelp check in. I got a Brazilian and under arms. They use cold sugar when waxing. I've had it both ways- warm and cold. So I didn't mind. TIP: IF YOU KNOW YOU'LL BE LATE, call! They are super strict about the 5 minute grace period. (Yes- 5 minutes). They front desk person was telling me how she was just about to cancel me as I walked in at 10:46. My appointment was 10:40. But because it was my first time, "you get a pass." This is one star off just because 5 minutes is a little intense. I wouldn't mind a 15 min? But 5 min? Esp when parking is either street or a 2 min walk from a parking lot. Vanessa was the tech that worked with me. She was really nice. Talked stories to make you feel comfortable. Told you breathing exercises and stuff. She had a decent amount of pressure. Took note of pressure points and sensitive areas. One thing I didn't like- was not being able to have the option to "check" till the very end. When I was done, I took a look in the mirror, and noticed sparse hairs that didn't get picked up from the sugar. But I couldn't do anything about it since we were done. When I got home to wash up, I felt pain on my skin. And that's usually normal for me because I have sensitive skin. But it's been a day- and still felt pain. Which is new. Noticed I had cuts. Like my skin was pulled off. And this is missed during a wax because waxing is already painful. This is the first time ever that my skin got pulled off during a sugar wax experience. The last time this happened was when I had hard wax... Overall- this is an alright place to check out if you want to try sugaring.

It was my first time getting my brows done, and the appointment felt pretty rushed. None of the steps were really explained to me, and I wasn't asked what shape I wanted or what I was hoping to achieve. My brows were cleaned up, and then I was told I was done. The results weren't necessarily bad, but I was hoping for a more welcoming and personalized experience, especially as a first-time client. I'd probably go somewhere else next time with a little more hospitality and a better overall vibe.
