Hair removal:
*Sugaring hair removal is a gentler, more natural alternative to waxing. You can do pretty much any part of your body, but it is NOT recommended for beard removal, as the cross-hatching of hair increases the likelihood of irritation and ingrown hair. If you are looking for Beard hair removal, Electrolysis is the best and most permanent option. You can find more information on providers HERE*
