Sugaring

Before your appointment

  • Your first time sugaring will be the most painful, and if you are worried about
    discomfort, you can take a pain reliever 30-45 minutes before your appointment.
  • Do not sunbathe or use a tanning bed for 48 hours prior to your treatment.
  • For best results, exfoliate and moisturize your skin regularly, but avoid exfoliating the day before, the day of, and the day after treatment. 
  • Sugar adheres best to clean, dry skin so please shower to remove any excess oil from the skin. Avoid using any powders, cream or lotions to the area being sugared the day of your treatment.  We do have complimentary personal wipes for you to use prior to your service.
  • Do not apply deodorant if getting your underarms sugared.

  • Hair must be at least 1/4′ long or about the length of a grain of rice.

For growth:

Shaving – a minimum 10-14 days of regrowth before getting sugared.
Wax – 4 weeks of regrowth before getting sugared.
Sugar – 4-6 weeks of regrowth.

Aftercare instructions

  • Avoid touching the freshly sugared area.
  • Do not exercise immediately following treatment.
  • Avoid exposing your skin to the sun, tanning beds or infrared lamps for 24-48 hrs after your treatment.
  • Do not have hot baths or showers for 24 hrs following your treatment.
  • To avoid irritation to freshly sugared skin, refrain from using perfume soaps, deodorant or products with chemical irritants for 24 hrs.
  • Do not exfoliate the area for 24-48 hrs following a sugaring treatment.
  • For best results, resume exfoliating 2-3 times a week to remove unwanted skin build-up that may cause ingrown hairs.

*The first 3 appointments are the most important when sugaring. To effectively soften and reduce hair growth, the hair must be removed during the anagen stage of hair growth, (the first
stage of hair growth). This is typically 3-6 weeks after hair has been removed from its root.
That is why it is crucial for long lasting results that these 3 appointments be scheduled 3-6 weeks apart. Continually removing hair at the anagen stage damages the follicle, (in a good way), which eventually collapses the follicle and the hair won’t grow back.

Airbrush Tanning

Before your tan

  • Shower, shave, and exfoliate your skin at least 3 hours before your appointment.
  • Hydrate the skin the days before the session, but not on the day of the appointment.
  • Do not use lotions, hair removal creams, oil-based exfoliation products, gels or shaving creams.
  • Do not wear any makeup, perfume, sunscreen, or deodorant. These can be removed right before your appointment. Nail polish is okay.
  • You may wear undergarments or a bathing suit during your session, but they are not required.
  • Be sure to bring dark coloured, loose-fitting clothing to change into after your session.

After your appointment

  • Avoid putting on a bra, socks or tight-fitting clothes immediately after the session to ensure the tan dries evenly.
  • Wait 8-12 hours before showering. This is the development period of NUDA products. To get the full intensity of your tan, wait a minimum of 12 hours before showering. We also offer 2 rapid developing formulas that can be rinsed off within 1-5 hours after the application, depending on the desired colour. Your tanning specialist will instruct you when to shower.
  • Avoid activities causing sweating or contact with liquids during the development period.  If it raining or snowing outside bring long and covering clothing and an umbrella.
  • Do not wear makeup, cream or perfume on your skin during the development period.
  • Moisturize daily, and begin to gently exfoliate 4 days after your session to ensure the tan fades evenly.
