Waxing and Sugaring
Our professional estheticians always provide high-quality waxing services, so you can feel confident in your own skin! There are many benefits of waxing compared to shaving.
Unwanted hair? We can help with that!
After a waxing treatment, the hair takes longer to grow back; the area stays softer and smoother longer; there is no itching or stubble feeling as the hairs are growing back; and waxed hair becomes finer and sparser over time! Allure offers a variety of waxing services for all areas of the body for everyone.
Waxing and sugaring are often grouped together because both techniques lift hair from the root and have a longer effect on the skin than shaving. But truth be told, they're two very different techniques. With waxing, sometimes a strip is used to remove your hair in the opposite direction of your follicle's growth pattern. The opposite happens with sugaring, where the hair is pulled in the natural direction of your follicle's growth pattern. Wax also tends to be hotter than sugaring, which is normally room temperature. Sugaring is an organic way of removing hair using a sugar paste. Waxing is fast and efficient and large areas can be waxed all at once.
Which One Should You Pick?
There’s definitely a debate here and there are pros and cons to both. If you have thick or coarse hair, waxing is going to be more effective. Otherwise, sugaring can actually be more effective as the treatment causes less breakage and can pull out more hair. In my own experience they results are pretty similar – hair grows back no matter what. I found that sugaring is more effective and gets off even the little baby hairs. Waxing lasts about 4 weeks long (for me) and sugaring lasts about 5 weeks long. It’s pretty negligable and for me it’s more about the experience than the result (sugaring is so much more gentle and I love that it’s organic!)
