I agree - I hand sugar as well - I love it.
- Sugaring is a premium service that offers clients the benefits of being
1) 100% natural,
2) never hot so wont burn,
3) water soluable so easy to remove from clothes, floor, couch covers
4) Enviromentally friendly
5) Sanitary - no bateria grows in sugar and no double dipping risks
6) Cost effective - one ball of sugar will do the whole body, no spatula or strips required
7) Far less ingrown problems
8) Exfoilates the skin
9) Extracts very short hairs
10) leads to permanent hair refinement
11) wont stick to live skin cells
12) never dries on the skin so no rush for the therapist
13) Less discomfort for the client - a good sugaring feels like a relaxing treatment in my opinion
For sure its a skill that takes practice by the practitioner and thats why refresher training is a must so that bad habits and any problems can be put right.
Hand sugaring speed increases with skill and a high quality sugar paste that moulds well and extracts hair on first "flick" also its key that clients get the education they need for home care - preparing the skin between service makes all the difference in the full circle of skin conditioning. Also by removing hair in the early stages of growth the hair quickly refines.
Tip to toe, men, women and children can be sugared - its the oldest form of hair removal. Cleopatra knew the secrets of great looking skin!
