A treatment that curls and lifts your natural eyelashes (no extensions), giving a more open-eye look that lasts about 6–8 weeks.

Question 17

Why choose sugaring instead of waxing?

Accepted Answer

Sugaring is applied at body temperature and adheres to hair, not skin—so it’s gentler and often less painful, even for sensitive areas.

Question 18

Why choose sugaring instead of laser hair removal?

Accepted Answer

Sugaring is suitable for all skin tones and hair types, is non-invasive, and requires no downtime. It also lightly exfoliates for immediate smoothness.
