I was a little hesitant to try sugaring after getting hard-wax Brazilians for years, but she immediately put me at ease. She thoroughly explained the entire process, the benefits of sugaring, and the importance of proper aftercare to help me get the best possible results.

However, every time I went I've noticed that the clean up itself is done messy, the shape is resined, and it's much more painful than other places I've gone to.
