Sugaring is one of the most natural and effective methods of hair removal. Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about preparation, aftercare, skin types, and how to get the best results from your appointment at Model Behavior.
Sugaring uses a natural paste made from sugar, lemon, and water that’s applied against hair growth and removed with the hair’s direction. This technique is gentler than waxing, reduces breakage, and helps minimize ingrown hairs.
Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about the length of a grain of rice). If you’re switching from shaving, allow 10–14 days of growth for your first appointment.
Yes. The sugar paste is non-toxic and free of resins, fragrances, and additives, making it ideal for clients prone to irritation, bumps, or post-wax redness.
Most clients find sugaring more tolerable than traditional waxing. Because the sugar paste removes hair in the natural direction of growth and does not adhere to live skin cells, irritation and discomfort are typically reduced. Regular appointments also make each visit more comfortable over time.
Sugaring is safe and effective for nearly all areas of the body, including brows, lip, underarms, arms, legs, bikini, Brazilian, and full face. If you’re unsure which service to book, visit our Full Service Menu for detailed options.
Yes. Gentle exfoliation 24–48 hours before your appointment helps remove dead skin buildup and allows the sugar paste to grip hair more effectively. Avoid exfoliating the day of your appointment to prevent sensitivity.
In most cases, yes. Sugaring is generally considered safe during pregnancy, though sensitivity may be heightened. If you have any medical concerns, consult your provider before booking.
Sugaring actually reduces the likelihood of ingrown hairs when done consistently. Because hair is removed in the direction of growth, breakage is minimized. Regular exfoliation and proper aftercare are key.

Most clients see 2–3 weeks of smooth skin. With consistent appointments every 4–6 weeks, regrowth becomes softer, finer, and noticeably reduced.
For the first 24 hours, avoid workouts, heat, tanning, tight clothing, and hot tubs. After 48 hours, gently exfoliate every other day and moisturize to prevent ingrowns.
Yes—but always sugar at least 24–48 hours before your spray tan (/spray-tanning) or makeup appointment to avoid irritation and ensure an even, flawless finish.
For best results, we recommend booking every 4–6 weeks depending on your hair growth cycle. Consistent sugaring helps weaken the follicle over time, leading to softer, finer regrowth.

We recommend avoiding shaving between appointments. Shaving disrupts the hair growth cycle, which can make future sugaring less effective and require more maintenance.
Avoid retinol, exfoliating acids, and harsh skincare products in the treatment area for at least 3–5 days prior. Sunburned or irritated skin should fully heal before sugaring.
If you’re preparing for multiple services, check our Spray Tanning FAQ to coordinate timing.
For 24 hours, avoid excessive heat, workouts, tight clothing, tanning, and exfoliation. Keep the area clean and lightly moisturized. After 48 hours, resume gentle exfoliation to help prevent ingrown hairs.
