Sugaring NYC - Aquidneck Island offers over 40 different organic sugar waxing treatments and service combos: eyebrow waxing, bikini waxing, Brazilian waxing, and more. We also offer lash lifts and lash tinting, eyebrow lamination and brow tinting. If you have very sensitive skin, the type that can become irritated by the slightest touch, sugaring is likely the best option for you.
If you’re considering your first Brazilian hair removal and are curious about sugaring, SugaringNYC offers a unique and gentle approach that’s definitely worth exploring. Unlike traditional waxing, sugaring uses a paste made from just three natural, organic ingredients: sugar, lemon, and water. This paste is applied by hand against the direction of hair growth and then flicked off in the direction of hair growth. This technique is often cited as being less painful and gentler on the skin than waxing.
Why Sugaring for Your First Brazilian?
Gentle on the Skin: Because the sugar paste only adheres to your hair and dead skin cells (not live skin), it’s much less irritating than wax, which can pull at the skin itself. This can be a huge benefit for sensitive areas like the bikini line, especially for first-timers.
Reduced Ingrown Hairs: The “flicking” technique, which removes hair in its natural direction of growth, significantly reduces the likelihood of hair breakage and ingrown hairs. This means smoother results for longer.
Natural and Organic: If you’re conscious about what goes on your skin, sugaring’s simple, edible ingredients are a big plus. No harsh chemicals or resins.
Less Painful (Generally): While any hair removal from the root will involve some sensation, many people report sugaring to be less painful than waxing, especially after the first few sessions. The sugar paste is also applied at body temperature, so there’s no risk of burns.
Easy Cleanup: The sugar paste is water-soluble, meaning any residue left on your skin can be easily rinsed off with water – no sticky mess!
Your First Brazilian Sugaring Experience at SugaringNYC:
Welcome and Consultation: When you arrive, the “sugaristas” at SugaringNYC will be warm and welcoming. They’ll talk you through the process, answer any questions you have, and help you feel at ease. It’s totally normal to be nervous, and they understand that!
Preparation: You’ll be given private space to undress from the waist down. Your esthetician will then cleanse the area and apply a powder to ensure the skin is dry, which helps the sugar paste adhere properly to the hair.
The Process: Your sugarista will use a ball of the lukewarm sugar paste, molding it onto your skin against the direction of hair growth. Then, with a quick flick of the wrist, they’ll remove the paste (and your hair) in the direction of growth. They’ll work in small sections to ensure thorough removal.
No Double-Dipping: SugaringNYC is meticulous about hygiene, using a “double glove” system where a fresh glove is used for each new ball of sugar paste, ensuring no cross-contamination.
Aftercare: Once the sugaring is complete, your skin will be cleaned, and your sugarista will provide you with important aftercare instructions. This typically includes avoiding hot showers, saunas, and tight clothing for 24 hours, and regular exfoliation to prevent ingrown hairs. They might also suggest specific products, like their healing oil, to soothe your skin.
Things to Keep in Mind for Your First Time:
Hair Length: For the best results, your hair should be about the length of a grain of rice (around 1/8 to 1/4 inch). If it’s too short, the sugar won’t be able to grip it; if it’s too long, it can be trimmed by your sugarista.
Exfoliation: Gently exfoliate the area 24-48 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and release any ingrown hairs.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to keep your skin hydrated and supple.
Avoid Caffeine/Alcohol: These can make your skin more sensitive.
Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, breathable clothing to your appointment to prevent irritation on your freshly sugared skin.
While the first Brazilian sugaring can be a bit intense (it is hair removal from the root, after all!), many first-timers find the experience at SugaringNYC to be more comfortable and less irritating than they anticipated, and they love the smooth, long-lasting results.
Think of it as a “perm” for your natural lashes. Instead of adding artificial lashes like extensions, a lash lift uses safe, eye-friendly solutions to gently curl and lift your existing lashes from the root. This gives them a longer, more defined, and wide-eyed look without the need for daily curling or mascara. Why is it perfect for you?
Natural Enhancement: If you prefer a more subtle yet noticeable boost to your eyes, this is it. It truly works with what you’ve got, making your natural lashes look their best.
Low Maintenance: This is a game-changer for busy women. Once done, you can wake up with beautifully curled lashes for 5-6 weeks, eliminating the daily fuss with curlers and mascara.
Safe for Sensitive Eyes: SugaringNYC uses gentle, high-quality formulas in a clean environment, making it a good choice if you’re concerned about irritation.
No Restrictions: Unlike extensions, you can still wear mascara (after the initial 24 hours) for an even more dramatic look, and it’s more swim- and sweat-resistant than mascara!
A brow lamination at SugaringNYC is a popular treatment designed to give you fuller, more defined, and perfectly groomed eyebrows without the need for daily brow gels or pencils. Think of it as a “perm” for your brows, but instead of creating a curl, it sets your brow hairs into a uniform, lifted direction.
What to expect:
The process involves applying a special solution to soften your brow hairs, allowing them to be reshaped. Your skilled “sugarista” will then brush and set the hairs in your desired direction – often upwards for a fluffy, feathery look, or sleek and straight for a more polished appearance. A setting lotion then locks the hairs into their new position. The entire process at SugaringNYC takes about 45 minutes and is generally pain-free.
Brow Tinting:
A key component often included with brow lamination at SugaringNYC is a brow tint. Here’s how it works:
Adhesion: The tint primarily adheres to the brow hairs, making them appear darker and more prominent. While some tint may temporarily stain the skin underneath, especially if you have very sparse areas, this skin stain typically fades much faster than the hair tint. The main goal of the tint is to enhance the color and definition of your existing brow hairs.
Duration: The brow tint typically lasts about 2-4 weeks, gradually fading as your brow hairs naturally grow and shed.
How Long Does Brow Lamination Last?
The lamination effect itself (the lifted and set shape of your brows) generally lasts 4 to 6 weeks. With proper aftercare, some individuals may see results extend up to 8 weeks. Factors like your hair growth cycle, aftercare routine, and lifestyle can influence how long the lamination holds. As new brow hairs grow in, they will revert to their natural direction, and the laminated effect will gradually become less noticeable.
Benefits of a Brow Lamination at SugaringNYC:
Fuller, more defined brows: It creates the illusion of thicker, more voluminous brows, filling in sparse areas.
Sleek and uniform shape: Tames unruly hairs and gives your brows a polished look.
Low maintenance: Reduces or eliminates the need for daily brow styling products.
Non-invasive: No needles or downtime, unlike microblading.
Customizable: Your technician can tailor the look to be natural and lifted or more dramatically feathered.
Cost: A Brow Lamination (Tint Included) at SugaringNYC is typically $70.
