I'm no stranger to hair removal. I've been around the block with soft wax, hard wax, sugaring, threading, creams, DIY kits, and good ol' shaving.
Everyone has their preferences, but recently I've been leaning towards sugaring. If you're not familiar with the technique, it's basically a paste made of sugar, lemon juice, and water that is used to remove hair. No chemicals-- you can't get any more organic and natural than that. It's been two weeks since my appointment, and I'm happy with my results. I have super sensitive skin and a fast hair growth cycle. Compared to waxing, sugaring is gentler on my skin and is a natural exfoliant, so I have less irritation, breakage, and ingrown hairs. I've also noticed slower and minimal growth. My skin just looks and feels so much better!
Sugaring NYC has a convenient scheduling system. Because it's a franchise, you can choose from multiple locations. You can book online and choose from a lot of time slots. I was able to make an appointment the day of and booked a Brazilian wax ($65).
Service was great from start to finish. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly receptionist. The waiting area is SUPER CUTE and a pink lover's dream.
Alexis was my esthetician, and she made my experience as comfortable as possible. Let's be real... getting your lady bits waxed isn't exactly the best feeling on Earth. But I felt like I was chatting with a close girlfriend! She was informative, personable, and took her time. The whole process was 10-15 minutes. I loved how clean and sanitary the facility was.
If you're a waxing veteran, sugaring won't be too bad. I have a decent pain tolerance, and I don't feel like it hurt any more than hard wax. Just remember to breathe, sis. I had some redness afterwards, but nothing out of the ordinary. I was strutting out of there feeling smooth and sexyyyyy!
