Before and After Care
for Sugaring
Expert tips for smoother results, fewer ingrowns, and longer-lasting hair removal.
Before
DO
-
Ensure hair is at least 1/4 of an inch long. This tends to be about 10-14 days since shaving or 3 weeks from last wax. Trim hair prior to your service only if it is excessively long.
-
Exfoliate with a scrub in small circular motions 24 hours prior to your appointment.
-
Stay well hydrated internally and externally.
AVOID
-
Avoid trimming the hair too short.
-
Avoid moisturizing or wearing deodorant right before your appointment.
-
Avoid showering or bathing right before your appointment. Taking a quick shower 1 hour or more before your appointment is okay.
After
DO
-
Wear sunscreen, as the areas that are sugared have received a light exfoliation making them more vulnerable to UV damage.
AVOID
-
Avoid working out, sweating, saunas, steam rooms, submersion in water and heavy friction for the first 24 hours. The follicle is open for 24 hours after sugaring, you will want to avoid unwanted bacteria.
Maintaining
DO
-
Maintain a consistent schedule. Book your next sugaring appointment within 4-5 weeks. (5 weeks or less = maintenance service for Brazilians & Full Bikinis).
-
Exfoliate with a scrub in small circular motions 48 hours after your appointment to avoid ingrown hairs. Repeat 2-3 times a week.
-
Try to always hydrate the skin after showering or bathing.
AVOID
-
Avoid shaving between appointments.
“Erika does the best Brazilian sugar I have ever had (and I’ve had many). I’ve also had my brows sugared and tinted and they looked amazing! She is kind and highly efficient, always on time and with a smile!”

“10/10 recommend! I have been to too many places for wax/sugar and it wasn’t until Erika that I can say I have been 100% satisfied. She knows what she’s doing. I leave happy every single time!”

“I've had sugaring, facials and dermablading with Erika and the results were amazing! She is quite knowledgeable about different skin types and conditions and how to adjust her treatments accordingly. Erika’s treatment space is very clean, smells amazing and has a relaxing vibe.”
