| - One of my all-natural, hippy, believes-in-alternative-medicine coworkers recommended this place to me when I said that I wanted to get a brazilian. She said she had awful experiences with wax and loved this place.
Most of my waxing experience had been me doing it myself, except for the eyebrows where I usually get a trained professional. I'm just mentioning that because wax definitely hurts more when you do it yourself. So, in comparison, sugaring was a breeze. I'm not going to say no pain, but definitely less pain.
The website says that your hairs need only be 1/4 of an inch versus 1/2 of an inch for waxing. I'd say that if you want the best results, grow it in a bit longer because they can always trim a little.
I got a brazilian and my eyebrows done. The method they use is really cool, they have this ball of sugar that's warm (but not hot) and they pull a portion of it on your skin, and with the rest of the sugar ball attached, they use that to quickly rip the portion on your skin off. It's very effective, but not as strong a pull as waxing. Although this method is great for areas where you want to remove all the hair, it's really crappy for places like eyebrows because it's not as precise as when wax is painted on your eyebrow with a toothpick.
I recommend this place, but just not for eyebrows because the lady who did my eyebrows just ended up using a tweezer to pluck most of it off - and it took a long time for her to do that. And I agree with the other reviewers when they say the staff is really nice - they are and they give you complimentary tea while you're waiting! I'd come back, but I've gotten laser hair removal since.
