Awkward Sugaring Questions? We got you!

At Sugaring Chang, we may chuckle with you, but I will never laugh at you so please feel free to ask all of your questions! We’ve decided to compile a few of the common questions we get asked on the regular, so here it goes.

1.  Can I get sugared when I have my period?

It's nice to check with your practitioner first. At Sugaring Change, the answer is YES! You simply wear a tampon, tuck up the string and it won't interfere with your sugaring. The only reason you may not choose to get sugared during your period is if you feel more sensitive during that time of the month. You know your body!

2. How do I avoid getting ingrown hairs?

Exfoliate and moisturize regularly…even when you don’t see any hair regrowing! If you do that and you STILL get ingrown hairs please touch base with your practitioner.

a. I highly recommend our willowbark mist. It's an all natural exfoliating spray that also heals the skin.

b. Use sea salts in your baths to soften and condition the skin which will allow the hairs to pop through the top layer of skin. Salt will also draw out impurities in the skin so if you are getting inflamed spots, this is your magic weapon.

c. Use a natural moisturizer to keep your skin soft. It doesn't have to be fancy and if you can eat it, that's even better! 

d. Regular body sugaring is also key because it pulls the hair out in the natural direction of growth (reducing breakage) and it also removes the dead skin that may be blocking the hair's path.

3. What positions should I expect to be in during my treatment?

Okay, first off, you should NEVER be asked to lay on your stomach during a Brazilian and go on your hands and knees during a treatment.

At Sugaring Change, you will lay comfortably your back for the majority of your Sugaring Experience with your legs in a few different positions. Leg positioning is dependant on what is easier for the sugaring practitioner. To clean up the buttocks area, you will be asked to lay on your side. It's SO mportant that you always feel safe, respected and as comfortable as possible with us.

4. How can I help my hair come out easier?

Keeping your skin exfoliated and moisturized will help. Dry skin is full of dead cells and brittle hair which can cause hairs to break or become ingrown. Hydrating your whole body by drinking plenty of water is always a good idea for your skin as well. 

5. My inner labia sticks out. Is that normal?

You bet it is! Some outer labia is thicker or thinner. Some inner labia is hidden away and some comes out. Some are different lengths and colours. Some people have skin tags and moles…it’s all normal. If we see anything that is concerning we’ll let you know so you can check in with your doctor.

6. What's this about removing hair from my backside?

Typically, for a full Brazilian and bikini plus, all the hair is removed including the backside. With all bikini hair removal you can customize the service by leaving hair where you prefer. At the end of the day, it is up to your personal preference…but we must add the removing the hair from behind really makes you feel fresh!
