Question 1

What is Sugaring?

Accepted Answer

Boho Beauty Co uses a loose paste, strip-free, hand sugaring method. A mixture of lemon, sugar, and water is used to remove hair from the face and body. Sugaring is gentle enough for the thinnest most sensitive skin and strong enough for the thickest, most stubborn hairs.

Question 2

How does Sugaring work?

Question 7

How Long do I have to Wait before having Sex, Going to the Pool, Hot Tub, Exercising or Going to the the Beach?

Accepted Answer

A good rule of thumb would be to wait 24 hours before any strenuous activities. After sugaring, your pores and hair follicles are open, making them more susceptible to irritation and bacteria. BUT you know your body best!

What if I have my Period?

Accepted Answer

No worries! If you're comfortable, I'm comfortable with it! We can still go ahead with your appointment as scheduled.

Question 9

What should I do after my Appointment?

Accepted Answer

Be aware that after your service your skin will be more photosensitive (sensitive to the sun) and susceptible to irritation. Most client see no negative after-affects, but some do experience histamine reaction the day after removing the hair. If this happens, please feel free to reach out.

Sugaring regularly will reduce pain over time and traumatize those follicles, reducing their growth strength.

-Keep your skin moisturized
-Avoid exfoliation for 2-5 days after sugaring
-Rebook your service every 4-6 weeks
