Sugaring is an epilation technique similar to waxing and is often called sugar waxing or Persian waxing. It has been uses since 1900 BC when a hairless and smooth body was considered the standard of youth and beauty in Egypt. Even Cleopatra is purported to have used this method!

Sugaring is usually less painful than waxing, because the substrate sticks to the hair without attaching to the skin. It may be applied at room temperature or heated to a warm temperature, thereby preventing burning. The sugar mixture is an all natural product, which I make using organic Hawaiian cane sugar.  Since the sugar solution is water-based and water-soluble, sugaring is easily cleaned up with warm water. While I have been using this method in New York for over 20 years, Sugaring is entirely new to Hawaii!  The results can last up to six weeks.  This method is also very effective for men, with significantly less pain.
