THE SUGAROOM COVID-19 POLICIY

For everyone’s safety The Sugaroom is completely sanitized after each and every appointment and the therapist will wear a visor and face mask.

For the benefit of us all clients are requested to adhere to the following measures until further notice.

1. Wash and sanitize hands upon arrival.
2. Please wear a face mask.
3. If you are feeling unwell let us know and we will happily reschedule your appointment for a later date.
4. Please do not come earlier than your scheduled appointment time. We may have to ask you to wait outside for a short while whilst we are preparing the room.

HOW IS SUGARING DIFFERENT THAN WAXING

We feel that Sugaring is a far superior method of hair removal. The key differences are that Sugaring pulls out the hair in its direction of growth and so does not cause ingrown hair. Unlike waxing the Sugar paste does not adhere to the skin. Sugaring naturally exfoliates and can lead to the permanent reduction of hair growth. Wax products contain chemicals where the Sugar paste is 100% natural and when using Sugar paste hair can be removed when it is a much shorter length.

WHAT SUGAR PASTE PRODUCTS DO YOU USE?

All of our sugar paste, mud masks and salt scrub products are sourced from Alexandria Professional® and are all 100% natural & safe.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR SUGARING TREATMENT

Before your appointment you will want to ensure the following:

– Exfoliate the skin a minimum of 2 days before your appointment. Do not exfoliate your skin the day before, the day of or the day after of your appointment.
– Do not moisturize by putting creams or lotions on the area that will be receiving treatment on the days of the appointment.
– Do not apply deodorant if you are having your underarms Sugared.
– If its your first time being Sugared the minimum length of your hair should be at least 5mm (a grain of rice).
– If you currently:
o Razor/shave – allow at least 10-14 days of regrowth before getting Sugared.
o Wax – allow 4 weeks of regrowth before getting Sugared.
o Sugar – allow 4 to 6 weeks of regrowth.

CAN I BE SUGARED IF I HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN?

Yes! The Sugar paste is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic and so will not block the pores of your skin.

CAN I BE SUGARED IF IM PREGNANT?

Yes! It is completely safe to be sugared whilst your pregnant but it is the Sugaroom’s policy to sugar ladies after 12 weeks up to birth.
