The holidays are here, which means that party season is officially upon us. If you\u2019re attending swanky soirees over the next couple of months, you\u2019ll want to look and feel your best, which could start with what is\u2014or isn\u2019t\u2014underneath your outfit. If you\u2019re considering hair removal as part of your party prep, Raquel Souza, owner of Sweet Peach Wax & Sugaring Studio with locations in Buckhead and Sandy Springs, is here to share the information you need about those two treatments.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between waxing and sugaring?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Waxing is much faster than sugaring. You apply a large strip of wax in the direction of the hair growth and pull it against the direction of the hair growth. Sugaring is more natural; you apply a paste made of water, sugar and lemon juice\u2014in the opposite direction of the hair growth but pull in the same direction as the hair growth. Sugaring is a slower process and pulls a bit more than waxing.<\/p>\n

Which option should I choose?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve only ever shaved, then we suggest you start with waxing. Shaving really cuts the natural growth of the hair, and the hair is thicker. Waxing is more effective because it is faster; the wax goes on and is quickly pulled off. However, if you wax for three or four weeks, then you can try sugaring; your hair will then be finer and easier to remove, and the sugaring will hurt less than waxing.<\/p>\n

What parts of my body can I have waxed or sugared?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wax and sugar can be done on any part of your body besides your head. We can do face, back, shoulders and private areas. It\u2019s a full body option. However, if a client is pregnant, we do not do sugar on any part of the body after three months.<\/p>\n

Is the process as painful as I think it will be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The expectation about the level of pain is very high, but it is not going to hurt as much as you expect. There is also no need to take over-thecounter pain medications before you come in; those relax the muscles and will not really affect the skin. Instead, drink a lot of water two hours before your appointment; hydration helps prepare the skin. Also, avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before because alcohol dehydrates and can make the process more painful.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I can do to prepare for my appointment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do not exfoliate on the day of your appointment. Exfoliate with a mixture of honey and sugar at home two days before; this will remove dead cells from your skin.<\/p>\n

How long will the hair removal last?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If it\u2019s the first time you\u2019ve ever done waxing, then you\u2019ll need to come back in about three weeks for another session. If you have moved on to sugaring, then you probably won\u2019t see hair regrowth for about four or five weeks.<\/p>\n

Why should I consider professional hair removal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hair removal makes you feel so clean and comfortable. You\u2019ll feel light, and it can give you a lot of confidence. Just make sure to go to a professional place that is very clean and sanitized. When you find the right place, go for it. You\u2019re going to be fine.<\/p>\n
