Getting Ready for Your First Sugaring Experience
Congratulations on booking your first sugaring appointment! Whether you're getting a Brazilian, bikini, or full leg treatment, proper preparation will ensure you get the smoothest, longest-lasting results possible.
If you've been searching for "sugaring near me" or even "Brazilian wax London Ontario," you're already on the right track. At Sugar Coated Skin, we specialize in body sugaring - the gentler, more natural alternative to traditional waxing. Many of our clients come to us looking for a Brazilian wax alternative and are thrilled to discover sugaring instead.
Before Your Appointment
1. Let Your Hair Grow
This is the most important step! Your hair should be at least 0.5 cm long (about the length of a grain of rice). This is typically 2-3 weeks of growth after shaving. If your hair is too short, the sugar paste won't be able to grip it effectively.
Pro tip: If you've been shaving, try to book your sugaring appointment about 2-3 weeks after your last shave.
2. Exfoliate Gently
About 24-48 hours before your appointment, gently exfoliate the treatment area. This helps remove dead skin cells and allows the hair to be removed more easily. Use a gentle scrub or exfoliating mitt in circular motions.
Important: Don't exfoliate on the day of your appointment, as this can make your skin more sensitive.
3. Skip the Lotions and Oils
On the day of your appointment, avoid applying any lotions, oils, creams, or deodorant to the area being treated. These products create a barrier between the sugar paste and your hair, making the treatment less effective.
4. Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment keeps your skin hydrated and more supple, which can make the process more comfortable.
5. Avoid Sun Exposure
Don't sunbathe or use tanning beds for at least 24 hours before your appointment. Freshly tanned or sunburned skin is more sensitive and may not be suitable for sugaring.
What to Wear
Choose loose, comfortable clothing for your appointment, especially if you're getting a Brazilian or bikini treatment. Tight clothing can irritate freshly sugared skin.
For Brazilian/Bikini: Dark-colored cotton underwear is recommended. You'll be provided privacy and proper draping throughout your service.

What to Expect at Sugar Coated Skin
Why Sugaring is Less Painful Than Waxing
Most clients find sugaring significantly less painful than a traditional Brazilian wax or waxing in general. You may feel a quick pinch or sting, but the sensation is brief. This is one of the top reasons people switch from waxing to sugaring. The more consistently you sugar, the less discomfort you'll experience as your hair becomes finer over time.
After Your Appointment
For the first 24-48 hours after sugaring:
After 48 hours, begin gently exfoliating 2-3 times per week to prevent ingrown hairs.
