SUGARING - is a type of hair removal that is purely chemical free. It uses sugar paste from water, lemon and sugar. Sugaring doesn't stick to the skin, it adheres only to the hair; thus, in most cases, it is less painful than waxing. This procedure is done either with a strip or the flicking of the hands technique. Maria uses both techniques. Sugaring is highly recommended for clients who are very sensitive and gets reactions to waxing.
Sugaring is not advisable for hair that has been shaved. A consultation is needed with Maria.
THREADING - is a type of hair removal that uses thread. The thread is twisted and rolled along the surface of the skin and lifts the hair from the follicle. This form of hair removal is mostly done on the face. Though, this is also done after waxing on areas of the body to clean up stray hairs. Threading is recommended for the most sensitive skin since it is a natural form of hair removal. We do not offer threading at the moment.
WAXING - is the most common procedure of hair removal that may be used with or without strips. These waxes may be either hard wax or cream wax.
Hard Wax - is a type of wax that does not use strips. This type of wax hardens when applied to the skin. Once it hardens, it is pulled from the tip of the hardened wax against the hair growth. Unfortunately, WE DO NOT USE HARD WAX.
Cream Wax - is the most common type of hair removal that uses strips. It is applied thinly to the skin to get good waxing result. We are using the Wax from Amber with Chamomile for the most fragile skin, especially with brazilian services. At the same time, we use Amber Honey Wax for the whole body, except for brazilian/bikini services.
For an effort to provide excellent service to all my clients, please be aware that time may sometime extend pass scheduled appointment. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Thank you.
