Touch Velvet Skin Spa offers advanced, all natural Sugaring Hair Removal treatment. Sugaring is an ancient Egyptian art-form of removing hair from every part of the body, except the scalp, and some beards. It has survived through the ages with very little modification.
Though it is sometimes mistakenly called sugar wax, It is a natural alternative to waxing as its formulation consist of only three ingredients - sugar, water, and lemon juice (citric acid). It is gentle on the skin, does not adhere to live skin cells, and is less traumatic to the follicles as the hair is extracted in the same direction of hair growth.
Touch Velvet Skin Spa specializes in the popular Brazillian waxing process, utilizing the Sugaring technique. Most clients who have tried waxing elsewhere have converted to Sugaring as they find the application process to be more comfortable, and non-irritating.
Here are some quick notes, but you can find more information on Sugaring1st Time Information.
Important Notes:
* The only form of waxing done is for removal of hair from the nostril. Also, eyebrow service is no longer offered. At this time, no male services (hair removal or facials) are offered.
* Please do not shave or trim the hair, especially if you are being Sugared for the first time, or if it has been 6 weeks or more since your last hair removal elsewhere. Because shaved hairs are more strongly rooted, it requires a little length to fully grasp the hairs. Sugaring can remove very short hairs from the root, however, it takes more time, and may not come out. Short shaved hairs is an additional cost to you. If you normally shave, it is important that you wait at least two weeks for the hair to grow out. Not all hair lengths need to be trimmed, and this is a complimentary service. However, If you do shave/trim and the hairs are too short, there is an additional $10 fee for the Brazillian and $15 for legs. Additional $10 for under arms. Short, shaved hairs may not all come out completely.
* It is also beneficial if you start the process of gently exfoliating the skin with a towel or exfoliation glove two weeks prior, and stop the day before the treatment. Moisturize the skin after exfoliation. I retail a Balm with Dilo or Hefau Oil which truly stands up to it's South Pacific reputation as "Green Gold." This oil has been used for centuries to help heal just about any skin ailment. The balm is a skin savior and protectant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, rich in anti-oxidants, skin-nourishing, soothing, and accelerates healing. Great for stretch marks, and also dry skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, as well as stings and bug bites.
* It is highly recommended that you hydrate well in advance of the procedure as this acts as a great catalyst for easier hair removal.
*3 reasons to ensure your skin is hydrated well in advance of the service (give or take a week):
1. Hairs are easily extracted from the root, so the result is smooth, and clean.
2. Less discomfort as there's no need for re-molding several times to soften up the hairs. Even though this can safely be done with Sugaring, it does make the skin more sensitive. Breakages will occur which can lead to ingrowns.
3. Takes additional time and effort, and tweezing (which may not take out all the hairs). This is an additional cost - $10.00 Brazillian, $10.00 Underarms, $15 Legs.
* Sugaring is considered safe for everyone, including pregnant people, and those with sensitive skin. If you are pregnant, however, please let me know at the time the appointment is made, as some minor adjustments need to be considered. Also, I prefer not to perform brazillian services in the last trimester if this is your first time, or if it has been a while since your last service. It is very taxing on the client, and on myself.
*Consistent non-adherance to recommended post care and in-between treatments may lead to unsatisfactory results. I reserve the right to terminate service if the areas being worked on looks lacking in care.
* Pricing may vary for larger body areas, e.g., legs, back, or buttocks.
Because Sugaring is an advanced, specialized service, it is normally priced higher than waxing services. You will find that my prices are very reasonably competitive. Initially, I was going to offer both Sugaring and Waxing, but since not one of my clients has requested it after trying Sugaring, I no longer offer waxing, except for nose hair removal. I specialize in Sugaring Hair removal for the whole body. Please note, I no longer offer eyebrow services.
Treatments that are $18.00, e.g. chin, nose, upper lip are add on services, and must be scheduled with another service.

Brows, upper lip, chin, neck and underarms may be 2-3 weeks but before the 4 week mark. There is additional cost added if scheduled past the 4 weeks.
3. If break is 2 months or more, regular price will be initially applied.
