What to Expect with
Sugaring and Airbrush Spray Tanning

More natural, better results

Sugaring vs. Waxing

Sugaring is a cleaner, gentler way to remove hair and offers far more benefits.

Sugaring

  • 100% natural (sugar, lemon, water)
  • Room temperature — no risk of burns
  • Removed with the direction of hair growth (gentler)
  • Fewer ingrowns
  • Doesn’t stick to live skin cells → less irritation
  • Hair grows back finer and more sparse with consistent treatments

Waxing

  • Often contains resins, fragrances, and synthetic additives
  • Applied hot — higher chance of irritation or burns
  • Removed against hair growth (more painful)
  • More ingrowns
  • Adheres to skin → can cause redness and sensitivity
  • Hair tends to grow back at the same thickness

Before and after your Sugaring appointment

  • Hair length should be longer than 1/4". We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks after your last shave or 1 month after your last sugaring (or waxing) appointment.
  • Arrive to your appointment with clean, dry skin, without any lotion or oils.
  • Avoiding caffeine or stimulants at least 24 hours prior to sugaring.
  • It's best to avoid sugaring during your menstrual cycle.
  • Avoid heat, sweating, and workouts for 24 hours
  • Keep skin clean, dry, and well-hydrated
  • Skip exfoliation and active products for 48 hours
  • Wear loose clothing to reduce friction
  • Begin gentle exfoliation after 2–3 days to help prevent ingrowns

Airbrush Tanning vs. Tanning Beds

Airbrush Tanning

  • Topical solution applied to skin that develops into color
  • Does not accelerate aging; safe alternative for skin health
  • Fully customizable (tone + depth)
  • Instant glow, full color develops in 8–24 hours
  • Professionally applied for streak-free results

Tanning Beds

  • UV light stimulates melanin production
  • Accelerates wrinkles, sunspots, and loss of elasticity
  • Results vary by skin response
  • Requires multiple sessions over time
  • Can result in uneven or patchy tanning
