Many people have sent me messages regarding this question. How much sugaring paste should I use? Will the 2 oz be enough to do...____?
Well, there's a simple "rule of thumb" to figure that out.
The 8 oz sugaring paste SHOULD be enough to do both legs from ankle to above the knee four times. This, though does depends on your studies - watch the tutorials, read through the tips and tricks, do your research on the method itself (the spread 1,2,3 flick sugaring method) beforehand so that you are more acclimated with the method and don't waste the sugar by not performing the method correctly.
Remember the key - #1: smaller the area smaller the ball
and #2: more sensitive the area the smaller the ball
On the legs, you will want to use a ball about the size of a golf ball which is just about equivalent to 1 oz. This makes 2 oz just perfect for doing the legs once.
So, for the 8 oz, for instance, you will get 4 uses. (2 oz per legs session x 4).
SO with that being said -
Legs (and back) typically use a ball about the size of a golf ball equaling about 1 ounce (half the sample size 2 oz)
While for the bikini area you're going to use a ball about the size of a nickel to as little as a pencil eraser. You'll notice the new applicator has two ends - small and large rounded. You'll want to use the small end for the bikini area.
Then we have the underarms. You'll use a ball about the size of a nickel.
Then we can go even smaller - the upper lip will use about the size of a dime, while the eyebrows about the size of a pencil eraser!
(The applicator helps eliminate heat transfer from fingertips to sugar so the sugar lasts longer).
Hoping this finds you well and these lil tidbits are helpful!
You know you have had them. We all have had them. At least once in your life, you've had one. They appear when a single hair has become trapped under the surface of your skin after hair removal. The dreaded ingrown hair is what we are talking about here. Though, I do realize no one wants to talk about them.
Ingrown hairs can be itchy and uncomfortable, especially if you've got a lot of them. You may notice pus inside the bumps. They are not serious. It is not acne. But they are not pretty. They can be embarrassing. I mean come on they are gross! Sometimes, dead skin can clog up a hair follicle. That forces the hair inside it to grow sideways under the skin, rather than upward and outward. Cutting naturally curly hair too close can result in the sharpened end of the hair piercing the skin. In men, ingrown hairs often pop up as a bunch of little bumps on the chin, cheeks, or neck after shaving. And yes, if you "manscape", you'll get them in the pubic area also.
In women, ingrown hairs are common on the legs, as well as in the pubic area and armpits. You can also get ingrown hairs on your buttocks. Many African-Americans, Latinos, and people with thick or curly hair may have it worse. They can develop a type of ingrown hair called pseudofolliculitis. These are best known as "razor bumps." The little bumps are common around the beard and pubic area. They will appear after you've shaved, waxed, or tweezed to remove unwanted hair. Anyone can get an ingrown hair. But the problem is more common in people who have curly or coarse hair. Curly hair is more likely to bend back and re-enter the skin, especially after shaved or cut.
But one thing we likely all have in common is the fact that out pubic hairs tend to be just that. Thick and curly right on our most sensitive of areas. We like to maintain a groomed look to our pubic area, but doing so often results in these awful bumps.
Ingrown hairs can affect anyone with curled hairs who shaves, tweezes or waxes to remove hair.
Signs and symptoms include:
Often, an ingrown hair improves without treatment. Just leave it alone. Don't try to squeeze it out! This can cause disfiguring scars! This can also cause infection. Please do NOT try to squeeze! But you know what? You can avoid ingrown hair by not removing hair. Wait, what? Don't remove hair? Ha!! There's a select few in our culture who are fine with that. Sure, go ahead and stay hairy. That's a personal choice. Maybe even a religious choice. That is understandable. I get it.
Myself, and many people I've known in my life, actually enjoy being as smooth as silk from head to toe. Some just remove hair from the legs and underarms. Some women need to remove hair from the chin and upper lip area as well.
I've known many people in my life that go on stage for a living. I've known ballet dancers, strippers, line dancers, bodybuilders, bikini models, nude models, and even porn stars. What do they all have in common? The fear of having their audience see the ingrowns that embarrass them.
Bodybuilders with ingrowns on the underarms, stomach, pubic area and back. Why? They depend on a completely smooth skin surface when they apply oil. They need to be shiny on stage when they are flexing and posing. And then guess what. The oil makes them worse by clogging the pores even worse!
Ballet dancers with ingrown hairs on the pubic area? They can become irritated, inflamed and worse when tights are worn.
Strippers, bikini models, lingerie models, nude models and porn stars? Well, you can just imagine. You see what I'm getting at.
An ingrown hair usually develops several days after hair removal as the hair is growing back.
You can use hair removal methods that lessen the risk of developing ingrown hairs. We all know the common methods of hair removal. Most opt for shaving. Many opt for waxing either at home or in a salon. If you can afford it, you might choose laser hair removal. We've tried them all. But we still keep getting ingrown hairs.
Have you tried sugaring? Have you ever heard of sugaring? Most people I've talked to have not heard of it.
Before moving on to learning about sugaring, let me prefix with this. I've been sugaring for two years now. On my own, in my home with organic sugaring paste with no signs of ingrown hairs. Why? Because sugaring removes the entire hair (including the follicle) in the same direction of growth. The hairs grow back thinner and in the correct direction. With exfoliation between sugaring sessions, you will have success also.Read

How to use Sugaring Paste to remove underarm hair.
I know no one whats to talk about pit hair.
None of us LIKE pit hair.
Well, that is unless you're a manly man or a die-hard feminist.
But guess what? We ALL have to deal with underarm hair.
I mean, after all - we are mammals after all. But what about those of us who want smooth pits for more than a day (from shaving)?
OK, I'm sure you came here for a reason, so Let's jump right in, shall we?
There are three main reasons for sugaring your armpits.
Underarm hair grows pretty fast, so shaving it daily is a must. As we all know, daily shaving can cause irritation, ingrowns, etc.
If you have thick or dark hair, you can still see the hair follicle through the relatively thin skin in that area regardless or how closely you shave.
The hair in your armpits is a huge culprit for body odor. Removing the hair by the follicle eliminates odor until the hairs begin to grow back past the surface of the skin. Moisture plus hair is a great place for bacteria to grow.
Remember life before puberty? You didn't need deodorant then. The hormones of puberty caused hair growth in your armpits. And the subsequent stink thereafter.
Side notes**
Sugaring your own armpits can be a little scary but the right technique can make it pretty easy.
You will need moderate shoulder flexibility
You will need a mirror and cornstarch or powder.
Know in which direction your hairs grow on your armpits before hand.
Most likely, the hair under your arms grows in two main directions. You probably have have one main horizontal crease. Above that crease grows in one direction and what is below that grows in another. In the middle, there may be a swirly area. You may have to do two pulls over that area.
If this is your first time sugaring your armpits, you should not work in sections larger than your pinky finger or tip of the applicator provided.
...and why this ancient method changed everything for me.
Hi, I’m Jen — founder of JBHomemade, herbalist, homesteader, and your friendly neighborhood Sugar Plum Fairy. 🌙
Years ago, I traded razors, Nair, and painful waxing appointments for a forgotten ritual rooted in the wisdom of women who came long before us. The Egyptians were doing it 4,000 years ago. I picked it up on a homestead in Tennessee.
It’s called body sugaring — and yes, it really is made from sugar (plus lemon and water). 🍋
Why I’ll Never Go Back to Shaving or Waxing Sugaring is the most skin-loving method of hair removal I've ever found. Once I made the switch, I stopped dealing with:
Razor burn and stubble
Ingrown hairs
Harsh chemical creams
Itchy regrowth
And throwing away plastic razors every week (💸 + 🗑️)
Instead, I now sugar at home — naturally, gently, and way more affordably. My skin is softer than it’s ever been, and the hair grows back finer each time. It’s like a botanical wax, but better. No pain, no chemicals, no salon bills.
💫 “But is it hard to do at home?”
Nope. You can learn how to make sugaring paste at home (I teach it right here), but if you’d rather skip the trial-and-error of mastering the cook — I’ve got you.
I’ve spent years perfecting my own small-batch sugaring paste, and you can order it here in my shop. It's shipped fresh and handmade just for you.
✨ Watch the Sugaring Revolution in Action
Instead of embedding four iframes, I’ve gathered my most helpful sugaring tutorials in a single YouTube playlist for easier watching (and faster page loading):
I make it from scratch, by hand, in small batches using certified organic sugar and lemon juice. No additives. No preservatives. No junk. Just pure, botanical goodness cooked into a golden taffy-like paste that gently lifts hair from the root — even short or stubborn hairs.
It’s:
Biodegradable ✅
Kind to sensitive skin ✅
Vegan and cruelty-free ✅
Made by someone who actually uses it ✅
💚 Your Skin Deserves Better Than a Razor
You don’t have to keep putting up with the cycle of shaving and suffering. There is a better way — and if you’re a DIY soul like me, you’ll fall in love with the whole sugaring experience.
Whether you’re a first-timer or looking to switch from waxing to something more holistic, you’re in the right place.
Organic Sugaring paste should be room temperature when ready to use.
If it's not, it will stick to you and the results will not be what you want. This simple fingerprint test will tell you it's ready to use. If you dip your finger into the paste and it tries to come out of the container with your finger (sticks to your finger)
IT IS NOT ready and room temperature. It's too warm.
Stick it in the fridge for 5-10 minute intervals until you see your fingerprint in the sugar when you dip your finger. As seen here:
Fingerprint impression test . You want your fingerprint impression to show up in the sugaring paste. This ensures that the Organic Sugaring Paste is ready to use. If you dip your finger into the paste and it tries to come out of the container with your finger (sticks to your finger) IT IS NOT ready and room temperature. It's too warm.

Sugaring Paste or Wax? Which Natural Magic is Right for You?
One of the most common questions I receive from my beautiful customers on Etsy is, “Jen, which sugaring method do I choose?” It's a question that goes beyond mere technique. Welcome, radiant soul. Whether you’re just beginning your sugaring journey or deepening your ritual of natural hair removal, choosing between sugaring paste and sugaring wax isn’t just a technical decision — it’s a sacred one. It’s about your hair’s story, your skin’s needs, and your long-term intentions.
As a master herbalist, I believe true skincare is a conversation with nature, not a battle against it. The right sugaring method isn't about what’s trending; it's about what works in harmony with you . Let’s explore the differences, benefits, and how to choose the method that aligns with your goals and your body’s wisdom.
🔍 What Is Sugaring?
At its heart, sugaring is an ancient, gentle art of hair removal using only three simple, earth-given ingredients: sugar, lemon, and a touch of water. This natural trio creates a paste that seeps into your hair follicles, "lubricating" the hair for a smooth, gentle extraction. This is the secret to minimizing pain, redness, and those pesky ingrown hairs often associated with other methods. It’s gentle, effective, and deeply skin-loving — exfoliating while it removes hair and leaving your skin soft, soothed, and glowing.
Unlike traditional waxing, sugaring:
Is less painful
Doesn’t cause ingrowns or razor burn
Is safe for sensitive skin, varicose veins, and even eczema
Is eco-friendly, cruelty-free, and earth-safe
While both sugaring methods are far more gentle than traditional waxing and offer incredible skin-exfoliating benefits, they serve two distinct purposes. The path you choose depends on one key question:
What is your ultimate goal?
Sugaring Paste is your guide on the path to permanent hair reduction over time.
Sugaring Wax/Gel is for the journey of temporary, all-natural hair removal .
The Sugaring Paste Method: For the Long-Term Journey
The magic of sugaring paste lies in its consistency and the ancient technique used to apply it. Crafted to a thick, taffy-like consistency, it’s designed to be worked with your fingers.
Best for: Beginners and anyone with thick, coarse, or dark hair.
Technique: Applied against the direction of hair growth with your fingers and flicked off with the natural direction of growth.
The Secret: Sugaring paste can grab even the shortest hairs (as short as 1/8 inch), which is often the earliest phase of the hair growth cycle (the Anagen stage). Repeated removal at this stage over time starves the follicle, leading to progressively thinner, sparser, and eventually, no hair growth at all.
The Sugaring Wax (Soft Gel) Method: For Gentle, Temporary Care
Our soft sugaring gel is cooked to a thinner, honey-like consistency. It's a beautiful alternative for those who already have finer hair or are simply looking for a less painful, temporary method of hair removal.
Best for: Individuals with naturally thin or fine hair, or those whose hair has thinned from years of waxing.
Technique: Used slightly warmed (never hot!) and applied with an applicator and reusable denim strips.
The Difference: This method requires hair to be at least 1/4 inch long, which means you’re removing it at a later stage of growth. Because the follicle isn't "caught" at its most vulnerable stage, the hair will continue to grow back as before.
🧙Sugaring Paste vs Sugaring Wax: The Key Differences
Here’s a clear breakdown of the two methods:
Feature
Sugaring Paste
Sugaring Wax (Gel)
Temperature
Room temperature
Slightly warmed (never hot)
Application
By hand or applicator
With spatula or butter knife
Removal
With fingers, with the grain
With denim strips, with the grain
Hair Type
Thick, coarse, dark — or any hair type
Thin, light, previously waxed
Hair Length
As short as 1/8" (trim if longer than 1/4")
Must be 1/4" long
Goal
Permanent hair reduction over time
Temporary results (3–4 weeks)
Consistency
Thick like taffy
Smooth like honey
🌿 How to Choose the Right Method for You
Ask yourself:
Have you shaved your whole life and your hair grows thick and fast?
Have you been waxing for years and your follicles are already softened?
Is your hair naturally fine or light?
Are you seeking permanent hair reduction or just a gentler alternative?
✨ If you’re a beginner or have coarse hair: Start with Sugaring Paste. It works best during the Anagen stage of hair growth and leads to permanent reduction over time.
✨ If your hair is already thin or you want a quick, gentle method: Try Sugaring Wax. It’s perfect for maintenance and touch-ups.
“Your hair holds ancestral memory. Your skin deserves ritual, not routine.”
🔬 Why Paste Leads to Permanency
Sugaring paste seeps into the follicle, lubricating the hair and allowing it to glide out gently. When used consistently during the Anagen stage (when hair is actively growing), it weakens the follicle over time — leading to thinner, sparser regrowth and eventual permanency.

💌 Still Unsure? Let’s Talk
I’m just a question away. Tell me your hair story — ancestry, texture, history — and I’ll guide you to the right sugaring path.
I've been asked on a number of occasions to share videos of sugaring being done. I can share these professional estheticians performing sugaring all day long. There's a lot of salons in populated areas such as Seattle, WA, NY, Miami, LA, Fort Lauderdale and the like. But until you have sugaring paste in your hand and you are learning the method THAT is when you will have your "AH-HA" moment and truly "get it" and understand HOW to sugar, why it's so much more gentle and beneficial for your skin.
Sugaring removes hair from the back of the neck; keep the nape of your neck looking trim and smooth with sugar paste hair removal.
Vito Mazza Salon & Spa in Woodbridge, NJ Presents Alexandria Professional Body Sugaring.
Men LOVE sugaring the nape of the neck! Why? Because the hair on the nape of the neck typically grows in before it is time to get a new hair cut. Most men will tell you they cannot stand the bushy, fuzzy hair that grows on their neck. The only drawback to this is that hair removal from this area is rather discomforting, more so than a Brazilian. The hair is strongly rooted and sometimes course. The discomfort will dissipate within 15-20 seconds. You can expect re-growth in 2-3 weeks, but it should be less dense and softer. The more you continue to this area, the finer your hair will become.
If you are a cosmetologist, this is a perfect example of a service you can offer your clients. Most cosmetologists I know have a passion for hair and not waxing. If you do offer waxing services to your clients, consider sugaring as an alternative. Sugaring is safer and yields superior results.
Why Yes! Men can use sugaring too! And your partner will thank you for it! Hey guys, here’s a sweet and less painful way of getting rid of your unwanted excess body hair!
If you think only metrosexuals, gay men, or triathletes would choose to be hairless, think again. Hairlessness among men is surging in popularity for all types of guys, from straight to ultra conservative to liberal! Using this method of hair removal for men will result in smoother skin, longer lasting results and it's less painful than any other method!
Whether you call it manscaping, the Boyzilian, Manzillian, the Brozilian, of the Ultimate He-Wax, male bikini area hair removal is the latest trend tearing across the nation. More and more men are also opting to remove their chest hair, back hair, even nose hair! And, no, the men are not just “competitive swimmers or underwear models” or copycat fans of the infamously smooth David Beckham, who almost single-handedly coined the term manscaping. Even regular guys are waxing down there.
I have a wide array of customers including your average Joe, bodybuilders, cyclists, swimmers, business men, and of course the Metro-sexual. These days men are waxing because they want a clean look and want to appear younger. A sugared body will define your muscle tone. All the hard work you do at the gym will pay off!
Since 1900 BC, Egyptians have been using this all-natural method of hair removal. Sugaring typically consists of sugar, lemon juice and water. Unlike wax, the sugar paste is attached to the hair rather than to the skin. Because sugar is hypoallergenic, it is safe to use on all skin types. What’s more, the sugar gentle exfoliates, removing dead skin cells in the process.
@JBHomemadeSugar blog post: Men can Sugar too!
Manscaping is gentler with #sugaring!
Is your desire to be hairless weather-related? Is she hinting at it? Or, have you been curious about how you would look with less hair? Whatever the motivation, more and more men are opting to remove some (if not all) of their hair! Between waxing, shaving, electrolysis, tweezing, trimming, and laser hair removal, men of all ages, sizes, sexual orientations, ethnic backgrounds, and professions are getting rid of excess body hair.
Shaving is a thing of the past..No one likes to feel stubble on any part of a man and that is sure to occur when you put a blade to that delicate skin of yours. Especially when it starts to grow back, the itching? The upkeep of shaving alone is a job in itself. Sugaring alleviates that frustration for you!
Keeping a neat chest, back, shoulders, and more will make you appear cleaner and send the message that you care about grooming. Your body's musculature and shape are enhanced also. Also, less body hair; through body sugaring you will stay cooler in warm weather. Who likes a sweaty bear?
If you’ve been shaving your body parts including Chest, Legs, Back and hands with Razors – you absolutely have to give Sugaring a shot. Your hair will not grow for at least a month and eventually, it will become more and thinner and more invisible. Men’s skin is proven to be more sensitive than women’s, so sugaring is definitely the way you want to go because it is so much less painful than waxing and you won't have the worries of ingrown hairs! Sugaring is far superior to shaving for several reasons. Sugaring removes hair from the root, so it can last for up to six weeks or more depending on how many times in a row you have been sugared and how often.
@JBHomemadeSugar blog: Men can use sugaring too! And your partner will thank you for it
The exact opposite would be shaving. Consider the aggravation and frequency. Some people have to shave every day. But who will help you? Unless you are a professional athlete, you probably won’t be able to reach the middle of your back with just a razor, so people may start calling you Patchy the Clown. The angle to which you would have to move your arms might cause you to end up with nicks and cuts.
Personal Experience Story:
My ol' man (country boy that he is) used to get his underarms waxed when he was in high school playing football because the gear bothered and chafed his underarms. So he fully remembers the torture I was talking about in my previous post (here) of "getting waxed".
As I was nearing pound 21 of organic sugaring I had gone through learning the method of cooking this delicate ancient miracle, he asked me if I could sugar his back for him because we were in the heat of late spring and he works outside. The hairs on his neck and back were bothering him. I said "well sure honey but I am no expert at it yet."
He said "..lol...baby I've felt your legs and they speak for themselves. I know this stuff works and I trust you." (can I hear it? awww :-P )
I proceeded to stare at his back and neck for a moment studying the direction of his hair growth. Towards his spine. OK. I dusted him with cornstarch, rubbed gently to ensure that all moisture, if any was absorbed by the cornstarch all the while smoothing his hair towards his spine, somewhat brushing it if you will.
They were quite long but too long. He said "what are you doing? I thought you were using the sugar?" I said "I am sweety, I'm just preparing your hairs and your skin. Don't worry. I know what I'm doing by now." :-D I scooped out about a golf size amount of sugar from my glass jar I had so lovingly filled with the sweet mixture. I gave him a kiss and said "don't be mad at me if it hurts you. I know you're a tough guy but this will be a first for you."
I then proceeded to spread the sweet mixture into his skin/hair with some slight pressure in the opposite direction of his hair growth. His hair grows towards the spine, so I spread toward his shoulder blades...) He said: "it feels like you're tugging my hairs but it doesn't hurt."
By then I was on the third pass over (Rub 3 times in the opposite direction of hair growth). I had made my lip (by curling my fingers slightly at the tip of each pass through.
I said: "ok honey, ready". He said "all right, go ahead."
I proceeded to grab hold of the lip and quickly flicked three times towards his spine.
He didn't even flinch! No reaction whatsoever. He turned his neck towards me and asked: "That's it?"
I said "Yep. How's it feel?" He said simply "Proceed my love". And with that, I did so.
And continue to do so about once a month and am now doing his neck for him as well. He may be a country boy, but he likes a clean cut look!
Men can sugar from your brows to your toes and everything in between - with the only exception being the beard!
If you've ever been waxed then you know how it feels. Body Sugaring for men feels much better, lasts longer and gets out more hair, even the short ones.
All right, I know how most guys are! They want the facts, right? Well, lets talk about the facts.
Where can guys sugar?

@JBHomemadeSugar Sugaring for Men tip: You need to trim to no longer than 1/4 inch
What happens if I become erect?
Even though this is a very popular question this rarely ever happens. I have had customers tell me they thought they might enjoy the experience, until the first pull.
The sugaring technique is a manual technique that requires movement and handling of your "package". There isn't anything sexual about the experience at all. If anything it feels more clinical.
Is this going to be like the 40 year virgin?
No it won't . Movies are made for entertainment so situations tend to be exaggerated. Although it may be uncomfortable your first time due to the texture and density or your hair. You won't cry or scream.
Each session after the first is always better and more tolerable.

Male Sugaring for pubic hair removal first hand accounts from "around the web"
I did the sugaring wax. I actually did a test run on my face first. Gotta say the hairs being yanked out under neath your chin on the neck, gives you a split second of OMG!! S@&T F&^K that hurt, then a good laugh that wasn’t so bad. So after my test run on my face, good news very NICE I liked it. I liked the results, enough to go down to the nether regions. So after yanking out hairs on the pubic bone area and on the shaft, I opted to just shave the ol balls. I like the sugaring wax, the pain is all in the first split second of yanking off the wax the first couple times then the area is sort of accustomed to it, then the rest is not bad at all. Best part about it is if your like me and have to shave everyday to keep a clean shave the sugar wax lets you go longer without having to shave. The appearance is very nice in both places on the face and in the groin. Since doing my sugar waxing I have gone a week and half without having to shave, and still smooth as silk. I’m hoping with the repeated times of sugar waxing the time in between waxing will be longer, and the hairs will pull out easier. I recommend this process to anyone man or woman. Smooth skin, no razor bumps, or ingrown hairs, very nice appearance. 10 thumbs up.
Just had my third sugaring session. I think it’s less painful at each repetition as the body hair gets thinner and there is less to tear off. After 20 minutes the lady was done with me and I laid there a bit astonished how fast it was over. Recommending, recommending, recommending…!
Found Oskar on Yelp while searching for men's sugaring places. I was interested in sugaring as I have very sensitive skin, and the sugaring paste is all-natural and free of harmful chemicals that are usually found in wax. Plus, it is far less painful than waxing. The discomfort is minimal and very short lasting.
I had a great experience here. Oskar is very professional and friendly, and makes you feel very comfortable. He frequently pauses to ask how you are feeling and if you would like a break, something to drink, etc. He cares about your making your experience as low-stress as possible. The space is very clean and tidy. It is very private and he also plays good music.
I've already recommended him to all my friends, and I will definitely go back.
This was my first time with any sort of hair removal, so I was a bit nervous. Oskar is kind and funny and was able to put at me ease quickly. He clearly explained the process of sugaring. He was always professional. Oskar often checked-in to make sure everything was ok before continuing. The next day, there was little to no redness or irritation. I went to Oskar about 1 month ago, and I'm still pleased with the results!
I have been getting waxed routinely for nearly a decade and was skeptical of trying sugaring. I went to Oskar at the beginning of the summer for the first time and it is definitely going to replace my routine waxings. He does a thorough job while still being quick and efficient. He is also very knowledgeable about his craft. Definitely recommend to friends!
Mr. Morett was very professional and knew exactly what he was doing (as I did a prior research on sugaring). I left in complete awe as to how my body and skin felt after the procedure and I would most definitely recommend EVERYONE to go to him for his services.
I went to have my back done and have had both waxing and laser done for this in the past. It seems everyone else is always looking to get more money from me when I mention doing more than their quickest treatment, such as my shoulders or arms. Oskar however, has the same idea as me about complete coverage. He did my back as far as he could reach on either side and I was willing to allow down my bum, my shoulders (practically to my elbow), and my neck as well.
To top it all off, the sugar removal was maybe one tenth as painful as any other treatment I have had. Can tell you that I will never wax again, not as long as Oskar is around to do a better job - both more personal and more professional as I said before.
Sugaring is much better than waxing! I have been going to him (Oscar) for a few years now. He is a master at sugaring and tries to minimize any discomfort as much as he can. I have referred friends to him and everyone thinks he's great. Whether going for your back, chest, butt, or other body part, you can expect cleanliness, professionalism, courtesy and privacy from Oskar. For those who might be concerned about pain when sugaring the butt and/or groin area, I have to say that Oskar is speedy and thorough. While obviously you cannot totally eliminate sensitivity in these areas, you leave feeling great and without redness. I have never regretted my decision to sugar instead of wax and would recommend Oskar to anyone who asks.
Wow I'm so happy my gf introduced me to Cane and Stephanie! Sugaring is so much easier on my skin than waxing. After one sugar session with Stephanie I'm hooked. My back looks and feels amazing. She is so gentle and walked me through the entire process. Can't wait to thin my hair out!
I went in for male sugaring service with Eboni, the place is very clean and Eboni was extremely professional. I was nervous at first, but she had great bedside manner and put me at ease. She explained the whole process and gave great aftercare advice on how to avoid in grows . My skin felt great and I am now a fan of both Eboni and sugaring. Definitely recommended!
I have been receiving sugar hair removal services for 6 years, and Eboni is one of the best at what she does. I first started receiving sugaring services from Eboni when she worked at Bare by Tru, and I followed her to Glamour Puss when she joined up with Sara Holmes.
Eboni has a very pleasant, calming presence. She takes her time, does not skimp on the amount of body powder or sugar used, and doesn't try to take off too much hair in each pull. She's also very meticulous, and will go over the sugared areas with tweezers to pick out any stray hairs that may have slipped through the cracks.
As a male that gets sugaring services done (including brazillians), it can be hard to find an esthetician that is comfortable working on men, good at what she does, and has good tableside manners. Eboni has it all. I highly recommend her!
