What is Body Sugaring?

The safest and most effective method of hair removal using sugar! We apply the sugar paste to your skin in the opposite direction of the hair growth and remove it following the direction of growth for gentlest extraction and best results. Our technique eliminates hair breakage, unnecessary discomfort, and ingrown hairs while exfoliating dry skin cells. The AP technique and theory is proven to achieve permanent hair reduction through consistent treatments!

Our paste

Manufactured in Clarence, NY our sugar paste is simply made from sugar, water, lemon juice, and gum acaia. Using molecular innovation this professional product is formulated to last throughout your entire treatment, increasing your salon ROI.
