I agree that sugar is more natural but now with the new waxes to the market they are becoming more and more natural. They get sent to factories and broken down and are made into new things. But there is zero trust me I have searched for years and have asked scientists to find it for me scientific evidence that one is better than the other. I would say it would be more important unless you have allergies or prefer the most natural solution to choose a technician with valid credentials, experience and clean work environment.
I think I might be biased because my one and only sugaring experience was terrible rude aesthetician, it took 25 min and I had been brazilian waxing for many years and there was NOT that much regrowth, among other things but my now-aesthetician of 4 years uses hard wax and I will NEVER use anything else!
I also found it less painful than sugaring and traditional waxing. I am team laser! I had my legs, bikini and underarms done last year and it is an absolute game changer if you are a good candidate for it! So glad it worked for you! Sugar wax is WAY better than regular wax for a few different reasons, but the main ones being that sugar wax is a lot less painful, plus you can make it at home for super cheap.

Sugaring has actually been used for centuries for hair removal, and it has roots in ancient Egyptian and Middle Eastern cultures. Sugaring paste is soft enough to penetrate into the pores, where it adheres to individual hairs, and pulls them out from the roots. The technician starts the treatment by cleaning the skin with a gentle cleanser made of ingredients like aloe, witch hazel, and tea tree oil. Then, powder is put on the area to provide a protective barrier between the skin and the paste.
The technician molds the paste in their hands to warm it up and make it easier to work with. Then they smooth the warm not hot paste on, rubbing it on against the hair growth. To remove, they then flick the hand back, going with the growth, pulling up hairs with the paste. They use the same ball of paste throughout the treatment—molding the paste in their hands repeatedly between applications—repeating this process until each area is clean.
Sugaring is a more gentle method of hair removal as the paste does not stick to your skin—it only attaches to the hair. The sugar paste is also more malleable than hard wax, which allows it to get all the way down to the root.
This makes it less likely to break off hairs at the surface. I can speak from my first-hand experience that irritation is far less with sugaring. By the time the patches cleared, my hair started growing back, leaving me with no time to enjoy a full, clean wax.
On the other hand, when I got sugared, there was no redness, even immediately after. As far as the pain level, sugaring is more like tweezing on the ouch scale—not pain-free but not waddle-to-the-subway painful.
For starters, both sugaring and waxing are a form of exfoliation. The process removes dead skin cells from the surface while smoothing skin. Both waxing and sugaring remove hair from the root, and with continued upkeep the hair will grow back thinner and softer. Finally, unlike epilators or chemical hair removal, sugaring and hard wax are both minimally irritating — even for the most sensitive skin types.
Technically, yes you still can. But you might want to reconsider your appointment. This depends. In this case, sugaring might be your best option as some people report it to be less invasive and not as painful as waxing. If you have a tattoo, both sugaring and waxing can help lightly exfoliate the dead skin cells from the top layer of your skin. On the other hand, if you have genital piercings, your sugaring or wax technician might ask for you to remove your jewelry prior to your appointment.
In some cases, they might suggest sugaring over waxing because the paste adheres to hair instead of skin. Treatments like radiation and chemotherapy can also make skin more sensitive and prone to dryness, so waxing and sugaring may not be the most comfortable forms of hair removal. It all comes down to your personal pain tolerance. But it also differs between treatment type and how experienced your technician is.
Because of this, some people report less pain with sugaring. On the other hand, waxing adheres completely to the top layer of the skin. Typically, hard waxes hurt less than soft waxes. With both sugaring and waxing, the first appointment usually hurts the most. Because of the way your hair grows back, your second appointment might be much less painful. Sugaring and waxing are usually done in separate salons that specialize in each individual technique.
To find a reputable salon, look at recent reviews with a close eye on reports about cleanliness and professionalism. Most reputable salons will also have you fill out a client questionnaire to understand your wants and needs before coming in.
This process usually takes about 10 to 14 days. Some technicians will trim the hair for an extra charge. A few days before your appointment, lightly exfoliate the area to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs. The day before your appointment, avoid exfoliation, tanning, or hot baths, as these might make your skin dry or sensitive.
The day of your appointment, come with clean, dry skin. Avoid wearing lotions or creams. At the appointment, your technician will take you to a private room, ask you to undress and hop up on the table. For 24 hours after sugaring or waxing, keep in mind that your skin might be more sensitive. Avoid direct contact with the sun, such as tanning.
