Body Sugaring Myths and Facts:

Myth: Sugaring is unsanitary.
Fact: Sugar is a preservative. The high concentration of sugar in our sugaring paste prevents bacteria from breeding as well as cross-contamination. Our system uses maximum sanitation procedures.

Myth: Clients leave the salon sticky.
Fact: Sugar of the Nile Body Sugaring paste contains no resins or chemicals and is water soluble. Any sugaring paste remaining on the skin can simply be washed off. The client leaves feeling clean and smooth.

Myth: Hair will grow back thicker and darker.
Fact: On the contrary, hair will grow back more refined and thinner. Our sugaring technique removes hair from the bulb. When the new hair grows back, it is much finer and lighter in colour.

Myth: Diabetics cannot be sugared.
Fact: The sugaring paste is not ingested during treatment unless chosen to be. The Sugar of the Nile Body Sugaring system does not require the paste to be hot, therefore is considered safe for most diabetics. Also, our sugaring paste does not contain resins which can tear the skin and pose a problem to a diabetic.

Myth: Sugaring is a fad.
Fact: There are too many men and women who have experienced the incredible results from Sugar of the Nile Body Sugaringtreatments to even remotely consider Sugar of the Nile Body Sugaring a fad. Every single day of every year more people seek us out and switch from other methods.
