Best Sugaring in Portland
Sugaring is an ancient form of hair removal made up of Sugar, Lemon, and Water with a soft warm “honey-like” texture. The paste is placed on your skin (against the direction of hair growth) and then “flicked” off with the direction of growth, leaving the skin smooth, (and hairless).
No More Waxing
Our experience is that once someone gets sugared…they rarely go back to the world of waxing. WHY? Here are a few reasons most people decide to kick wax to the curb and convert to the art of sugaring:
- Fewer Ingrown Hairs: Because sugaring removes hair in the direction of hair growth (unlike waxing), there are fewer chances for ingrown hair!
- All Natural: Sugar paste is made with just sugar, lemon and water (and ours is all organic!) and isn’t full of a bunch of crap you don’t want near your beautiful body.
- Leads To Permanency: This means over time, your hair growth will be minimized, and you'll start to notice the individual hairs tend to grow back thinner and less coarse.
We welcome and happily provide services to all friends and forms of gender expression. While each member of our team is respectful of all genders, we have separated our services into two categories, strictly pertaining to your body's anatomy to best serve our clients. This will ensure that we match you with a practitioner that is prepared for the sugar paste, body part and time needed to perform the service. If you have questions, please feel more than welcome to give us a call!

What should I do to prepare for my appointment?
Your hair should be at least 1/8th of an inch long for best results (which means about 2 weeks of no shaving). Anything shorter than that and we will attempt to extract it, but a follow up appointment might be needed. Clean, dry skin is needed to apply our sugar. So please come showered and do not apply lotions, oils, deodorant, fragrances, etc. to the skin on the areas to be sugared prior to your service. Make sure to exfoliate your skin, but not 24 hours before your service. Please inform us of any allergies, sensitivities, conditions, or medications prior to your service.
I’m on my period, can I still get sugared?
Yes. You may be more sensitive in the few days leading up to your period and the first few days of your period. Some clients take an Ibuprofen 30 minutes prior to their appointment.
Cancellation Policy
While we understand that sickness comes and emergencies happen, we ask that all cancellations be done by giving us 24 hours notice. If you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment we will charge you 50% of the service fee (unless we are able to re-book your space). Appointments that are 2 hours or more in length require 48 hours notice of cancellation to avoid being charged 50% of the service fee. If you no call, no show for any appointment we will have to charge you for the full amount of your service.
Post-Sugaring Instructions
- 24 hours after your service stay clean, cool and free from friction.
- 24 hours after your service refrain from strenuous activity that might get sweat/bacteria on the freshly sugared area. This includes working out and or sexual activity. Doing these things will increase the likelihood of ingrown hairs (and those suck!)
- Please don’t suntan for about 48 hours after you’ve been sugared. You are freshly exfoliated and we want to avoid sun damage and burning.
- 48 hours after being sugared begin daily exfoliation on the sugared area.
Payment
- We require prepayment at the time of booking for first-time clients and all services that are 90 minutes or longer.
- Card ONLY for services, although cash is acceptable for gratuity.
