About Sugaring
Sugar paste is applied at body temperature or cooler so it never burns. For proper technique, the skin is held very taught which leads to no pulling or stretching of the skin, therefore, less pain than with the burn or pull of waxing.
Sugar is water-soluble and doesn’t stick to live skin. So, no mess, no damage to the skin, and no stickiness left on your clothes.
Sugar paste is all-natural and vegan, unlike hot synthesized wax. Sugaring always removes hair with the natural direction of the hairs’ growth, taking it directly from the root. Unlike waxing, which goes in the opposite direction and can cause ingrown hairs. Sugaring, consistently in this natural direction and improving skin health to help get rid of those ingrown hairs!
Everyone hates growing their hair out before being able to have it removed (at least I do). Sugaring will extract much shorter hairs (1/8”) than wax will effectively. Sugaring also tends to extract more hairs, avoiding that stubbly/prickly feeling from broken hairs, and last longer by slowing growth. Removing hair from the root in the earliest phase of growth through sugaring is also more likely to be permanent over time. Other methods of hair removal do not remove hair from the root or extract the hairs in a later stage due to the required grow out length.
It’s best that you have not shaved within 5-7 days, waxed within 2 weeks, or sugared within 2-3 weeks of your appointment. Hair should be about the length of a grain of rice. If it has been 4 weeks or more since your last hair removal causing the hair to be ¼” or longer, please slightly trim for your own comfort prior to your sugaring service.

A sugaring story…
From my head to my toes, hair has always been a dilemma for me. When you see my long, thick, naturally curly hair you will know exactly what I am talking about. I have that Big Texas Hair and I think the rest of my body thought it was supposed to as well. Learning to sugar almost 13 years ago has changed my life! No, I don’t sugar my head! My sister, thank goodness became a rock star hairstylist so I didn’t have to. And, luckily, I have sugaring to take care of the rest of me.
In my teens, I was miserable with razor burn, bumps, ingrown hairs, and even chemical burns from depilatory creams. I couldn’t be smooth like the other girls. I was terribly self-conscious especially in swimwear and continued to be into adulthood. My first waxing at a nice spa was one of the most traumatizing $80 memories of my life and I still had to go home and finish the job. That was an interesting night… Luckily, after becoming licensed and through friends in the industry I have had some good waxing experiences. But I was still sensitive to the heat, ingredients, and always had a bunch of ingrown hairs to commemorate the experiences.
When my clients started voicing similar concerns with their insecurities when it came to their skin because of hair removal, I made it my mission to find us all a solution. I found sugaring and fell in love! This was in the fall of 2007. Sugaring was hard to find but I had found it about 90 minutes away. Even better news? The practitioner I found was a certified instructor. Sugar hair removal didn’t even cause my skin to turn pink. Of course, I felt the hairs coming out but there was no heat and no skin irritation during or afterward. Game changer! The rest is history.
I have committed my entire career to helping women feel empowered and confident in themselves and will continue to do so. I am thrilled to have put my permanent roots in McKinney and to provide a safe, effective, and affordable solution for those with sensitive skin or want a natural alternative to waxing. My passion is building trust and relationships with my clients while also providing exceptional service. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your interest in Cactus Sugar and allowing me to “prick” those unwanted hairs.
Here’s to you removing the prickly and staying smooth, sharp, and beautiful!
