What Is Underarm Sugaring?
Underarm sugaring is a professional hair-removal service using sugar paste to remove unwanted hair from the underarm area.
Unlike shaving, which cuts hair at the skin’s surface, sugaring removes hair from the root.
Because the underarm area can be sensitive, professional technique and appropriate aftercare are important parts of the service.
Benefits of Underarm Sugaring
Clients choose underarm sugaring for a variety of reasons.
Potential benefits include:
- Smooth-feeling underarms
- Hair removal from the root
- Less frequent maintenance than shaving
- Precise hair removal
- Professional application
- A polished appearance
Individual results vary depending on hair growth, skin type, and personal maintenance.
Underarm Sugaring vs. Shaving
Shaving cuts hair at the surface of the skin, which means regrowth can become noticeable relatively quickly.
Sugaring removes hair from the root, allowing you to go longer between hair-removal appointments.
For clients tired of constantly shaving their underarms, sugaring can be a convenient alternative.
Underarm Sugaring vs. Underarm Waxing
Upscale Sugar & Wax offers both underarm sugaring and underarm waxing.
Underarm Sugaring
Uses sugar paste with a specific application and removal technique to remove hair from the root.
Underarm Waxing
Uses professional wax that adheres to the hair and is removed to pull the hair from the root.
Both are professional hair-removal options.
If you’re unsure which service is right for you, your esthetician can help you compare the two based on your skin, hair, and preferences.
