Friendly service at the front desk, very clean spaces and Ivanka was personable and an expert at her craft!

I've been going to see Ivanka for sugaring and she's just the best! She is lovely to talk to, kind, knowledgeable, professional, and good at what she does. I've tried a few other places and feel really comfortable at Sugar Sugar and am happy with the results! read more

I just wanted to update my review because Sugar Sugar has added some fancy features to their computer system. On top of the very convenient online scheduling, when you pay, you also get a list of your upcoming appointments and how many sessions remain in you series (if you pre-purchased one - a great deal if you go regularly!). I go out of my way to come to this studio! Also, I've seen a few other sugarists there besides Kim. Honestly, not all of them have been great, but I want to put a good word in for Alyssa! It was a totally painless experience for a Brazilian. She was very informative and fast, as well as a fun and chipper person to talk to. read more

Started going to Sugar Sugar a little over a year ago and it is now a standing part of my routine. Cannot say enough great things about Dakota, her personality and how comfortable she makes the entire appointment. Would highly recommend her for Eminence facials (custom or express depending on your time) or any sugaring you need done (face, bikini or Brazilian). Just be sure and book in advance because she's popular! read more

My first time trying sugar and I'm in love . I recommend NATALIE. She was very knowledgeable and walked me through everything. If you come here make sure to ask for Natalie. I will definitely come back to her . read more

I have been here 3-4 times and it's great. The only reason I stopped going is because I moved and it's pretty far from me. I've seen Stephanie and Robin. Both girls were great. I've seen Robin more and she's so friendly and likable. Really great personality and offered a painless experience. The salon itself is really cute. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. I typically get my underarms sugared and a Brazilian. It's so much less painful than waxing, in my opinion. It's a quick service too. I am in and out in under 30 minutes. A few negatives- the online scheduler can be finicky. I've had a lot of issues when trying to use it (one time the service I booked wasn't what showed up on their end but luckily I did a screenshot). I recommend calling to schedule just in case. Also, a few other reviewers pointed out their policy on getting a full or maintenance wax, and I agree that the policy is frustrating. I have had 6 laser hair removal treatments and I have very little hair. For me to have to come in that regularly doesn't work. Maybe they should consider revising that based on the estheticians examination. There's gotta be a better way... And parking can be tricky in that area. read more

I AM SO MAD AT SUGAR SUGAR RIGHT NOW. I have been getting sugar'd here for six years and had the most enjoyable experience each time. This time however, was a VERY different story. After booking online, I received a voicemail letting me know that the person I had booked with no longer was an employee. They asked me to call back to reschedule. Even though this was sort of annoying I called back hoping to still have the same time slot i had previously scheduled. After speaking with the receptionist, I was told not to worry and that I still had an appointment at 3 PM on Friday... Relieved, I let my initial frustration dissipate. Oh was I wrong.... I just got back home after leaving work early to make this appointment and what was I told when I tried to check-in?! That they had called me to tell me to reschedule and that I no longer had an appointment..... ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME!? I DID CALL! So of course it is Friday and they don't have another opening until Saturday at 5PM... WHO HAS THE AVAILABILITY ON A SATURDAY AT 5PM?!!?! anyway, i am going to try Sugar Plum bc I am so mad at Sugar Sugar's inconveniencing and inability to accommodate me as the customer. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER SUGAR SUGAR. read more

Sugar Sugar just lost a longtime customer! I had been coming here for quite awhile for Brazilians and was mostly really happy with the service, but today I arrived 5 minutes late for my appointment and was told that they would have to modify the service, so I couldn't get the full Brazilian I was hoping for a week before a tropical vacation... The amount they left would have taken, what, 2 minutes to finish? Upon leaving I asked if I could make another appointment to finish the job and asked what it would cost: the same as a full Brazilian. That seems absolutely ridiculous. $50 for 2 minutes of work? I'll be going somewhere else from now on. read more

Do you have a "bikini line"? Do you know what Brazilian means when not used to identify a person from Brazil? What do you think of when you hear the word TERRORDOME? Before my first visit to Sugar Sugar, I had some... concerns. I have done a lot of crap to the downstairs jungle but I have never been able to bring myself to the waxing or sugaring tables before a few months ago. I thought I'd give the idea a shot, figuring I'm 29 and I've never actually heard of a real person within five degrees of separation from me dying from hair removal. Good odds! I turned to Yelp to look for waxing salons, but after reading the reviews for Sugar Sugar and doing a little research decided this might be the better way to go. I made an appointment for a Saturday afternoon and was scheduled with Solana. I did all my prep work. I was well rested and hydrated, had taken an Ibuprofen 20 minutes prior, and was in the waiting room (nice, comfortable, light, with samples of weird lotions and cosmetics to play with while you're waiting) doing astral projection with my velvet bag of crystals when she came out. We went into the treatment room, which was a small, brightly-lit spot with a massage table in the middle and some vaguely Shabby Chic decor scattered throughout. Pretty chill. She left me to get ready, so I liberated myself from the lower half of my outfit and waited on the table under a towel for her until she came back. My palms immediately started sweating and I tried to zone out on the Natalie Merchant and U2 coming from the walls... The process was a little long, and a little traumatic, but was overall MUCH less scary than I imagined it'd be. She talked to me about banal subjects to distract me - it was reminiscent of dental hygienist chat - and tolerated my maniacal laughter and weird breathing techniques during the harder parts. She gave me encouragement ("You're doing great, sweetie!"), and before I knew it we'd made it through. She slipped out of the room, I collected my skirt and my bearings, and went out to get my prize. Oh, yeah - they've got drawers full of free drawers. Zebra print? Rainbow skulls? Peach lace? Whatever you want, they've probably got it. A free pair with every hedge trim. The initial price for a Brazilian is comparable to what I pay to get my hair colored, but if you book maintenance appointments within five weeks of each other, the price drops to around $20 less - good motivation to keep it high and tight. I've been back several times since my first visit, and it gets much easier after the first time. It's still not fun, but it's not Mad-Max-level panic anymore. I highly recommend Sugar Sugar! read more

So I will admit that I was a bit terrified to come into Sugar Sugar for my sugaring appointment. I'd had absolutely no previous experience with sugaring OR waxing, so I really had no idea what I was in for. As my tolerance for pain is extremely low, I figured pain and suffering eagerly awaited my arrival. But boy, was I wrong. Granted, the process of having hairs ripped out of your skin never feels great, but the pain was not even close to as bad as I imagined and the process was quick and easy. Tobi was absolutely fantastic. She immediately put me at ease, making friendly and polite conversation with me the entire time and explaining what she was doing and how the process worked (and how it differed from waxing). I felt super comfortable the entire time I was there. There was VERY little pain or redness after my appointment, which was a nice surprise. I will be back for my maintenance appointment in about a month. I'm almost looking forward to it! The space is clean, cute, and everyone who I encountered there was very friendly. And bonus: free panties! You can't get any better than that. 5 stars - this place rocks, hands down. read more

I went to sugar sugar to have my eyebrow trimmed and my lips sugared. Yesterday, it was my first time to sugar sugar and also my first time doing sugaring. i have tried waxing and threading before and sugaring isn't as painful. The reason why I am giving sugar sugar a three star is that i was disappointed at my aesthetician. She did not do a great job on trimming my eyebrow nor my lips. She wasn't very thorough and detailed. Felt like as if she was in a hurry. I have everything done in 15 minutes. I could still see numerous OBVIOUS stray hairs around my eyebrow and there is a patch of hair left on my lips. So I have to go home and do the clean up by myself. For the amount I have paid, I would expect better service. read more

The first time I've ever had any waxing done, I was mildly tipsy after stumbling into a random hotel and spa down an alley in Rome. While not quite as epic as that experience, Sugar Sugar was unassuming, friendly, quick and easy! Sugaring uses a ball of honey, sugar and lemon (all natural!) and rolls it on and off your skin to pull hair out completely. I found it much nicer than waxing and razors shall be a distant memory. Pluses: - The girl chatted my ear off as to distract me from the pizz-ain. Surprisingly and maybe I have a high pain tolerance but I didn't find it too ouchy at all. Maybe a flinch or two but it was over within 10 min. But still super awkward for me although she's seen everything and I mean everything when it comes to ladies. - Knocked back the price to a Tini Bikini rather than a Tini Bikini Plus saying "eh, you didn't need much." Score! - Free undies! It's the little touches that count. - Uncrowded, spacious and friendly + their website is uber helpful Minuses: - I suppose I have to get used to paying $50 or more to indulge in services that groom the female self but I can't imagine doing this on a regular basis. Although I hear that 3 consecutive sugaring sessions makes hair softer and sparser. Color me happy. Their services are catching on in popularity and as bikini season draws closer, you definitely need to make your appointments in advance. Their online service allows you to do it easy-peasy. And oh heyyyy, hopping on a plane to Hawaii in a few hours here, thanks Sugahhh! read more

It feels a little bizarre to give this place a 5-star review when it's always a somewhat painful experience, but as far as hair removal goes, this is the best! Overall, sugaring is less painful than waxing and also results in less skin irritation. The staff here make the experience about as comfortable as possible, and it's always much appreciated. Scheduling is easy (love online booking!) and you can save quite a bit of money by scheduling your next sugar appointment within 6 weeks. I have always gone to Marie and she is great! Very sweet, and fun to chat with which always makes the experience better. She also has good recommendations depending on the type of skin/hair you have. I don't usually like buying extra products but they sell some very nice and natural skin soothers that aren't too pricey. Definitely the best place to go for hair removal in the area! You won't go back to old fashioned waxing. read more

A month or so ago I was beating myself up a little because I'd bought this $50, 5 product sample kit here. How good can face lotion/masque/cleansers be? Not $50-for-miniature-trial-sizes good. All that hair pulling, Tylenol, and those enkephalins had clearly gotten to my head - wtf did I think I was doing? With a heavy mental sigh and a little shame - may as well get the disappointment over with and out of my bathroom - I opened the charismatic little wooden box holding them and tried these products out. OMFG I LOVE Eminence products. Lotion for day, lotion for night, a couple of great masques, a cleanser (the only one I don't like), that shit's amazing. Less red (less red? I didn't even know that was possible), less puffy, more even complexion, smaller pores, not dry, not oily - everything is amazing - after not very long of using these things. How great will my skin be after 6 mo. and the addition of a serum and whatever else I decide I like? AMAZING. That's how. And why is this? Let me tell you. It's because they are not made of chemicals - chemicals totally being the easy way out . Products that are purely mixes of synthetics don't take skill, experience, etc. to produce, so lots of people/organizations do it even though it yields an inferior product - it's cheap and easy. It's like mixing paint, where 3 parts red, 2 parts blue, 1 part black will always yield the same purply color. Any idiot can do it and any idiot does. Then sells it in the grocery store. Eminence's province, in contrast, is herbal extracts. These take some know how and involved human attention to multiple factors in order to maintain quality and consistency in the final product. Example given (this shit gets its own paragraph - that's how involved it is): the quality of the stock herbs (how many active constituents per gram, etc.) is dependent on time of year, day, what part of the plant, and period of growth that it's harvested. Also on how much water, light, and nutrients the plants received when alive. Were there a lot of bugs that caused the plant to produce more chemicals in defense? Was it particularly cold outside, how much light did it get?, etc. All these things play a part and have to be monitored or understood so that the recipes can be adjusted with every batch to make sure that end product is the same. And that is just the beginning. You can see how these kinds of products would be much more expensive and how most people interested in making lotions and things would take an easier route - especially if they don't have any personal experience with the incredible effects simple herbs can have on the body. It's also to be noted that there are many people who will take a different 'easy route' and still use herbs instead of chemicals, yes, but use them lazily. Then their products don't work because they didn't make them correctly and it gives all such things a bad name. (This is the majority, I think - again, because it's easy and these products can ride on the title of 'natural', and they'll sell, even if they aren't effective.) Anyway, I don't actually know anything about Eminence's business practices, but I do know herbs and looking at their ingredient lists, the only way they could get the results they do are by doing everything right. So, I think they do and I'm happy to throw money at them. And at Sugar Sugar because they are smart enough to carry them. read more

I've had sugaring done before and Nicole brought my expectations to a new level at Sugar Sugar. Not only are their products organic and non-fragranced, which is super important to me and my sensitive skin, but they give you a free paid of cute little panties after the service to boot! For the most important critique..... It was quick, it was even less painful than the waxing and sugarings I've had done before, and Nicole does a good job of talking you out of paying attention to the job at hand and more on other topics. Good trick! I had a full brazillian today and it is perfect. (sorry, can't post a picture!) I'll be back for sure! read more

I hate to write a one star review but yeesh. I'm guessing from all the amazing reviews, that my bad experience was a fluke, but it was not a good one. I bought a coupon for sugaring services for Sugar Sugar from Living Social a few months ago. Before I bought it, I had read the reviews on Yelp so I thought it would be great to try. I set the appointment for lower legs (to use my discounted coupon with) and added my brows as an extra undiscounted service. The Sugaring itself: OW!!! So ok, waxing isn't exactly super fun, but the only painful part to me is when they tear the wax off. Not so for sugaring. Because the sugar was applied against the direction of the hair growth, it hurt almost worse during the application (mostly because it was a slow pull on all the hairs in the "wrong" direction), and then also of course, there's the requisite pain with the removal. The sugar was super sticky, but apparently not in a good way, because it kept getting stuck to my skin and she had a hard time getting it off my skin (mostly on the legs is where I noticed this, but I also had my eyes closed for most of the brow work). Brows: I had been doing my brows myself for a while but had decided I wanted to start getting them professionally done and have them thicker (I've never worn them thin, but wanted them really thick). So for two months I grew them out. And i mean really grew them out. It was scary looking, but I figured it was worth it to end up with beautifully shaped thick brows. I don't know if the gal I got (don't recall her name) was just very new or what, but I walked out of there with one eyebrow at the perfect thickness (if you didn't count the gaping hole in the bottom of the hair line), and the other brow was super thin and not even well shaped. There was no mirror in the room and she did not offer me one afterwards, just said a few words in closing and left the room. I had to go to the front desk and ask where the bathroom was so I could see what I looked like before I walked out the door. It was awful. Really and actually awful. I went home and immediately into the bathroom to try and even them out. (They were so bad that when I got home even my husband asked me what I'd done - so you know they were something if he noticed!) So after taking the thick one down to match the thin one, and doing my best to reshape the thin one so it wasn't so bleh, I ended up with two thin brows. The worst part was that I had (foolishly) saved this up to do right before I left town to go to a wedding. Lower Legs: They were ok, except that again it was painful with both the application of the sugar and the removal of the hair (instead of just the removal), and also a strip about 1" wide by 5" long on the front side of my leg, was totally missed. Granted the hair on my legs is super fine, so I can definitely understand how it would have been easy to miss. The service in general: The front desk gal was definitely friendly, but ignored quite a few incoming calls, to chat with me while I was waiting for my appointment. While I appreciate the friendliness, it didn't seem fair to the folks who were calling for appointments. The gal who did the sugaring itself was very sweet and I enjoyed talking with her while I was having it done. So my experience was very friendly service and terrible, terrible sugaring. read more

Hello heaven. Welcome to the large reception room filled with light and lots of samples from high-end organic beauty products you've probably never heard of. They also sell a product that will grow you long lush lashes. Soo cool! And a little scary. Enter your private room, lay down on your heated bed and relax to the pulsing beats as the sugar angels do their thing- wait a sec- these girls are way too down to earth for that. Entertaining and at times hilarious, these girls know how to keep your mind off the pain. And in the end, you will feel lighter and powdery soft for weeks. Thank heavens! read more

Anytime I walk out of an establishment saying to myself, "That was the best [insert service here] that I've ever experienced," you know there's a 5-star yelp review a-coming. I've done the waxing thing for years, and sugaring once. I wasn't too impressed with the one sugaring experience I had -- same as waxing, basically -- but apparently that's because it was "sugar wax" which is the same process with the strips of paper. The sugaring at Sugar Sugar is totally different -- no ripping strips, way less painful, no post-appointment redness or soreness. Tobi was friendly, chatty and efficient. The price was at least $15 less than I'm accustomed to paying. Plus, they give you a free pair of underwear!?! To sum up: best salon experience I've ever had, and even though I live all the way down in South Seattle, I plan to make repeat visits up to Ballard just for Sugar Sugar. read more

Just a warning: sugaring your armpits does hurt less than waxing, but still hurts like a bitch. But I will totally do it again, because Michelle is awesome and thorough, and completely non-judgmental of anxious sugarees like yours truly. To soothe my psyche after my armpit/bikini sugaring combo, I had a fantastic hour-long facial. Since I have really sensitive skin that gets random hives from the most benign-seeming things, Michelle did an all-organic/no chemical facial for me, and it was lovely. My skin and I were both very happy campers when I left. read more

This was my first visit to Sugar Sugar and my first experience with sugaring... I've always been someone to have waxing done (been doing it for years) & honestly didn't know about sugaring until Yelp.... I was a little worried when I showed up for my appointment 10 minutes early and there was no one around, yet I could hear voices. After about 5 minutes, someone came out of one of the rooms and "checked me in" stating that Tobi would be with me shortly. The place looked extremely clean, which was a good sign. Tobi came out, finished with her previous client & then told me she'd be right with me after changing the sheet on the bed, etc. In the end, the experience was GREAT, LOVE the warm beds they have you lay on and lavender oil put on after... I'm definitely going to be going back... It didn't hurt as much as waxing, it didn't cause me to be red (as waxing does) and it does the job just as well as waxing does. Not to mention, some of the other after effects that waxing has on me, has not shown up with sugaring... read more

I'm a convert. After paying $40 at The Sweet Spot, the prices here are way more reasonable and the process is quick and, while not painless, comfortable. And its in my favorite hood. Ballard read more

Hello sugaring, goodbye waxing! My personal opinion is that sugaring is slightly less painful (there is still pain involved) than waxing, the results are longer lasting with almost zero irritation! Marie (my aesthetician) knows her thing. She is friendly, professional, executes with a quickness and keeps me focused on our conversation instead of the pain. I highly recommend her. If you haven't sugared before, it's time you try it! read more

This is a great place. First of all, some people will tell you that sugaring doesn't hurt. This is B.S. Having hair ripped out of your skin hurts. But if you are comparing it to waxing, sugaring is much gentler, not hot, etc. But really I'm writing this review to endorse Sugar Sugar and not the process of sugaring itself. I've been here and to one other sugaring studio (the Sweet Spot in Fremont) and this one is far superior. All of the staff are really friendly and make you feel comfortable. It's super clean and well decorated. Appointments are easy to get. Parking is on the street but pretty easy and free. You get free panties with every bikini sugar! Overall a really great choice for your hair removal. read more

Sarah is the bomb!!!! She's sugared my lady parts twice now and she makes the unpleasant experience actually not that terrible! Works quickly, and I'm in and out before I know it. Can't recommend her enough! read more

Wow. I can't believe that I rushed just to get on yelp and review this place. That's how good it is. I first came into Sugar Sugar a week ago to purchase a gc for a friend. Another girlfriend had told me about it, and suggested it as an alternative to waxing. I've been sugared once, and it involved my left arm in the back row of an Intensive Spanish course, by my Lebanese classmate. It was fine. Sorta homemade. Kinda something I wish I could do myself, but...eh, whatever passes the time in a three hour class right? Hair removal is never something that I really look forward to. I wax with one specific person, and it's ALWAYS painful. So...without further details, this is where this gets good--this wasn't painful! It felt like several small pinches, and after about 2 minutes, based on the lack of pain, I figured that I was nowhere near done. Not so! Nicole worked so quickly that I was almost finished and hadn't even realized it! I mean, no irritated skin, no flinching or discomfort...just easy peasy hair removal. I didn't even know those words could fit into the same sentence! According to Nicole, as opposed to waxing, sugaring does not irritate and remove the top layer of skin. Because they cover whatever is to be waxed with powder, the sugar will only stick to and remove the dry (powdered) areas. After the treatment is finished, water (yes, just plain water, thank you Jesus--not alcohol-loaded Tend Skin) is applied, then moisturizer, and then you're good to go! Afterward, you receive a free panty of your choice. Niceeee. Oh, and there are a lot of nice natural or organic skincare brands, as well as cosmetics offered. Even better. Ballard is nowhere near where I live. But I will return, if only for this. read more

Updating from four to five stars because of an experience I had last weekend. I came in for my appointment right at opening time and it turned out the sugarist I had reserved with (who I've never met - just reserved with because of my schedule) was out due to an injury. The receptionist smoothly brought it up to another woman and she calmly offered to take me. Apologized because she needed a minute to set up the room (which she shouldn't have - I was early!) and she took me on, did a great job and I was even done early. It's been four days and everything is still smooth, which means she did a very thorough job. Turns out this wonderful calm woman (who didn't freak out when finding out she had an unexpected client at 10 AM on a Sunday) was the owner! I was happy she took me on and even more impressed with her equanimity - if she was suppressing any kind of irritation or surprise about having to take me on, you couldn't tell. I mean, yeah, it was their business issue, not my fault, but some businesses don't handle things so well, so I really appreciate her taking me on! I've been looking for a new sugaring spa for a while and if I wasn't convinced before, I am now. read more

I just got back from my very first sugaring experience and I'm feeling happy and smooth! I called after lunch today and they squeezed me in at 3:30pm - love that. I had Tobi who is fab: super friendly, just the right amount of chatty, and more than willing to explain everything as she worked on my nasty hairy legs. The studio is cute and very clean, and the location is great (lots of street parking but close enough to downtown Ballard to allow for some guilt-free shopping after). I had a heated bed too, which I thought was a nice touch. I'm definitely a convert, and am seriously considering adding a few other body parts on my next visit ... Thanks Sugar Sugar! read more

I am really prone to ingrown hair, and so shaving my bikini line is a truly dreaded ordeal. I'd thought about getting a bikini wax for years, and finally decided to go for it. All the Yelp reviews led me away from waxing and toward sugaring, and specifically to Sugar Sugar. While the experience was painful (hello, getting your hair ripped out?!), it was generally positive. The space was clean and organized, the bed was nice and toasty, the music was soothing, and Solana was just great! The free panty isn't a bad touch, either. I'm pleased with the results and will definitely go back. I hope to never shave my bikini area ever again. read more

I am very happy with my visits here. The place is clean. I've been seeing Janna for sugar waxing my facial hair. She is so kind and friendly. I usually have a bad reaction to waxing but I haven't experienced it with Janna. My only complaint is that the parking can be tricky so make sure you arrive early so you have enough time to park. read more

Now, I know what you're all thinking. As an Asian person with below-average amount of body hair, how do I get off telling people where to go for hair removal. Well, outraged hairy brethren, without going into too much detail, I've had my share of hair removal horror stories and can honestly say that Sugar Sugar is now my favorite place for hair removal. First off, sugaring is NOT LESS PAINFUL than waxing. Sugaring's the process of taking a sticky object, like saltwater taffy (except the stuff they use probably shouldn't be eaten) and applying it to body hairs in your sensitive unu areas, thereby pulling it out at the roots. Waxing will pull out bits of your skin, along with the hair; sugaring should not. Because sugaring is a different technique, you can get at shorter hairs easier than with waxing. Sugaring shouldn't cause as much irritation as waxing. That being said, my experiences at Sugar Sugar are always pleasantly painful, but quickly and professionally executed. I love that this location is close to where I live and that almost all of the estheticians are well-qualified to do a good job. The estheticians are also pretty chatty (helping you to keep your mind off of the pain). My last session with Tiffany was over in 10 minutes flat. I'm never going back to waxing (nor another hair removal place)! read more

I never even knew sugaring existed! Imagine that, 21 years old and all I've ever known was waxing. Hot, sticky, wax. Good thing I found Sugar Sugar because it's completely the opposite of that. It doesn't burn my skin and it's definitely doesn't leave a sticky residue either. I've gotten sugaring done on my "down there" parts as well as my underarms. Still haven't quite been able to get my eyebrows down there yet because i'm very particular about how they get done, and i've been going to the same lady for years to do them. But, back to sugaring, I won't say it's painless because it definitely does pinch a bit. But it sure doesn't feel like someone is ripping out my sensitive skin from "down there." I honestly don't think it's that bad, it's pretty tolerable! And-- you get a free panty for any bikini service :] Tori is the best! But is she also the only one i've visited... however the entire staff is very friendly and professional from what I have observed! read more

The very idea of waxing gives me a headache, because the last time I had my legs waxed I ended up with a huge headache from wincing so much. In my opinion, waxing hurts pretty badly and I've also had quite a bit of irritation for about a week afterwards. I have sensitive skin that reacts to almost everything--literally. I don't wear shorts because the back of my legs will react to sitting on plastic furniture. I carry around a tube of Benadryl cream. It's ridiculous. But then I came across Sugar Sugar and gave it a try. Thank God! A place where I can have my hair removed without much pain or ANY irritation! It barely hurts at all! The salon was very clean and quiet, and both of the ladies there were friendly. I don't remember the name of the woman who sugared my legs, but she was very easy to be around and fast. I didn't feel self-concious at all. The pricing is quite reasonable and they give you a free pair of cute panties if you have your bikini sugared. I will definitely return once it all grows out...and I won't need to bring any Benadryl with me. read more

Ok, I have to write an update and give Sugar Sugar another star. I stopped going for Brazilians while I was pregnant (they moved to their new location in Greenlake in the meanwhile) and when I was ready again I started going to two different sugaring salons in Magnolia because I lived there and they were convenient. Convenient but terrible. I didn't realize how bad they really were until I went back to Sugar Sugar tonight. Night and day difference. Michelle is amazing and it truly hurt MUCH less with her technique than either shop in Magnolia. She was my sugarist back during Sugar Sugar's Ballard days, so I had a direct comparison. I thought I was just more sensitive after pregnancy, but it turns out I was going to sub-par shops. Learn from my mistake and save your vagina the unnecessary pain! Don't try other places, just go to Sugar Sugar and see how awesome they are! They are MILES better for a similar price. read more

This was my first time getting waxed and I'm glad I decided to go with sugaring. I was kind of nervous because I didn't know what to expect, but Solana was super nice and made me feel much more relaxed. The beds that you lay on are heated so it instantly makes you feel cozy. I got a tini bikini (pretty much everything but the buttocks) and I'm glad I went with that for my first time. She did a great job and I will defiantly be going back! read more

Love them!!! Nicole is my primary sugarist, but I've been to Tobey and Solana as well. Everyone at Sugar Sugar is so patient and best of all - they are as picky about grooming as I am! If you've never been sugared, visit Sugar Sugar. If you've never been waxed, visit Sugar Sugar. If you've done it all, visit Sugar Sugar. Also, the series of 6 deal is a great $$ saver! Save 15% - woot! And, who doesn't love free panties!?!? A great way to feel beautiful and show off your new 'do! (My only request is that they carry more variety in the larger sizes.) read more

So I was recommended by several living humans to go this place. I stopped in to ask them a skin question on my way home today. Not only did the receptionist stop what she was doing and listen to my struggles, she went back and got a really knowledgeable esthetician. She asked if I had a moment to chat, had me lay down on the table, and gave me all her attention. She gave me some recommendations and no fee. Above and beyond service; I will be back. read more

love love love!! been going to sugar sugar for my brazilian since the beginning of the year. natalie is my girl and always does a fab job - quick and just gets all the hair out. 10/10 recommend going with nat :) read more

Sugar sugar is fantastic. I get a sugar or wax about once a year (before a nice beach vacation) mainly because it's too painful. My experience at sugar sugar actually made me want to go more than once a year. Yes, it's still painful, but the staff there is fantastic and totally made me feel at ease. Not that any other place was mean to me, but there was just something about this place. Also, I've found that I like sugaring WAY over waxing. The sting doesn't last as long and I don't get as many ingrown hairs. I'm definately going there again. read more

Love this place! It is right by my house and the service has been great! Totally recommend it. A note to those interested in sugaring: 1. It IS less painful than waxing (and more effective) but NOT on the first visit if you haven't been maintaining the waxing area. 2. The second time you go (with lots less hair in the area) is definitely less painful than waxing and your first sugaring. I was amazed! It hardly sticks to your skin and my bikini wax was practically relaxing. If you are curious about sugaring- try it. After the first time it will be so easy and nice! read more

My first waxing experience in college was traumatizing. The ones following that have been painful and made me question cleanliness and hygiene and my overall sanity. My first and only experiences with sugaring have been here at Sugar Sugar. I absolutely adore this place and am so grateful for a healthy alternative to waxing. I really like the ability to make an appointment online, because it allows me to check their schedules and availability and book my appointment at my convenience, rather than sitting with someone on the phone or playing phone tag or what not. Both Tobi and Nicole are fantastic and are informative and will put you at ease and help make your experience a pleasant one. We conversed through both of my sessions and I almost forgot that I was lying there on a table getting sugared. Well, almost... I am looking forward to the day when I can splurge on an organic facial. I heard that they are great! The location is a bit random and may be difficult to see if you're just driving by, so look closely so that you don't miss it! Sugaring is non-toxic, doesn't burn, and does not irritate my skin like waxing does. It quite affordable, clean, and not too painful. I highly suggest Sugar Sugar! read more
