Sugaring & Beauty
by Amy McMurray

Sugaring uses a natural paste made from sugar, lemon and water — no synthetic resins or chemicals. It removes hair in the direction of growth (unlike wax), which means less breakage, less ingrown hairs, and less discomfort. The paste is water-soluble too, so it's much easier to clean up. Most clients find it noticeably kinder to skin than waxing, especially in sensitive areas.

Ideally 2–3 weeks of growth after shaving, or around ¼ inch (6mm). If you're transitioning from waxing, the same applies. If you're not sure whether you're ready, just message me — I'm always happy to advise before you book.

For sugaring, avoid exfoliating for 24 hours beforehand and make sure the area is clean and free of any oils or lotions on the day. For facials, just come with a clean face if you can — no make-up is ideal, but not essential. I'll take care of everything from there.

Most clients come every 4–6 weeks. With regular treatments, hair tends to grow back finer and more sparsely over time, which makes each appointment easier. I'll give you a personal recommendation based on your hair growth at your first visit.

Yes — it's actually one of the gentler options for sensitive skin because the paste contains no artificial ingredients. That said, every skin is different, so if you have a skin condition or have had reactions to hair removal before, just let me know when booking and we can discuss what's right for you.

Life happens — I completely understand. I just ask for as much notice as possible (ideally 24 hours) so I can offer the slot to someone else. You can manage your booking directly through the online booking system, or just get in touch and I'll sort it out.
