The sugaringLA Difference
At SugaringLA, our Smart Sugaring technique is designed to work with your body – not against it. By applying the sugar paste in alignment with your natural hair growth and follicle pattern, we’re able to remove hair more consistently from the root, resulting in smoother skin and longer lasting results.
Unlike traditional waxing, our paste is never applied hot and is made from simple blend of sugar, lemon, and water. this gentle approach helps minimize irritation, supports healthier skin, and allows results to last 4-6 weeks die to higher likelihood of complete hair root removal. We use only clean and natural products containing the purest ingredients. Our proprietary sugar paste consists of organic sugar, lemon and water. It’s also bio-degradable, hypoallergenic, vegan friendly, and never applied hot.
FAQs for sugaring hair removal
Sugaring is a superior method of removing body hair, with a literal ball of sugar paste.
Our paste is made with organic sugar, lemon, and water. It’s also fully bio-degradable and hypoallergenic. The only preservative we use is lemon, which is all-natural. Our paste is vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and never applied hot, which are all intentional aspects of sugaringLA’s commitment to be harm-free to the environment and our clients.
Sugaring and waxing are both methods of hair removal, but they are very different methods.
- At sugaringLA, we only apply sugar paste at room temperature (“wax” is always applied HOT!)
- At sugaringLA, we methodically work the paste into your follicles, in the opposite direction of your hair growth. Working the paste into hair follicles means the hair is pulled WITH the grain of hair growth (In contrast, “wax” can only be generality applied onto client’s skin with a stick.)
- At sugaringLA, working the paste into the follicle ensures more consistent removal of hair at the root …providing a longer and better result (“wax” can’t be worked in, only applied.)
- At sugaringLA, skin exfoliation is an added benefit of our service (“wax” can’t offer this.)
- At sugaringLA, results can last 4-6 weeks, due to higher likelihood of entire root removal. (In contrast, “wax” breaks most hairs off at the surface, resulting in shorter-term results of 2-4 weeks.)
Yes! If you have sensitive skin, be sure to inform your sugaringLA Sugarist. We strive to be abundantly knowledgeable on many varied skin sensitivities, skin types, and hair textures. We also welcome sugaring clients as young as thirteen and older.
We don’t track or compare the average sugaring service rates versus “wax” services…but –
At sugaringLA, our Sugarists are specialists, trained in our proprietary method of sugaring. After sugaring nearly 15 years, our founder is considered one of the leaders in our industry. Danielle continuously seeks to innovate and elevate the sugaring experience for our clients. We believe our standards within each studio are the highest in the industry.
Our clients will say they can immediately feel the difference between the two methods, stating that sugaring is less painful. The benefit of consistent sugaring services is that the hair roots become thinner and weaker leading to an easier removal process for both the client and the sugarist.

As often as every 4 weeks. Most clients will receive sugaring services once a month to help them achieve their hair refinement goals. Each client is unique and our sugarist are trained to educate and guide you on the best timing to achieve your goals
