The Pêche Difference

Sugaring - sometimes called sugar wax - is the preferred hair removal method over waxing at Pêche! It’s not only the oldest, most tried and true form of hair removal throughout history but also extremely safe and effective. Because sugar paste is water-soluble and adjusts to your body temperature, sugar is less likely to burn or damage your skin like wax can.

Unlike traditional bikini wax, which can be harsh and pulls hair against the natural hair growth—leading to breakage and more risk of ingrown hairs—sugar paste is gently applied in the direction of hair growth, ensuring a smooth, clean removal of hair from the root. This method results in finer hair and slower regrowth, which can lead to more permanent results over time. With consistency, each sugaring session becomes easier and more comfortable.

My favorite part is, sugar paste is 100% natural, biodegradable, and doesn’t require sticks or strips, making it a more sanitary and eco-friendly choice with less waste. I completed my sugaring certification through Tamara’s Sugar - an industry leader in sugaring products and professional hands on training.

Sugaring Appointment Preparation

  • Your hair should be ¼” long (the length of a grain of rice) or about 2-3 weeks of growth. This allows the paste to successfully attach to your hair without pulling or tugging at excessive length. Hair may be longer but please know this can increase discomfort and we cannot trim excess length at your appointment so please plan accordingly!

  • For best results, exfoliate 2-3 times weekly leading up to appointment. Exfoliate 48 hours prior to appointment (not the day of or day before.) Use a clean exfoliating mitt, dry brush or a scrub - of the above PLUS Fur® pre-and post-sugaring products are available in the Pêche shop in-studio and online for the best preparation experience!

  • If possible, please come with clean skin. Shower the morning of your appointment and avoid applying lotions, powders or oils to the skin. A cleansing cloth will be provided appointment as needed.

  • Avoid excess sun exposure, tanning beds or sunburns prior to appointment. Please notify us ASAP if you have an existing sunburn, severe breakout, active herpes, rash, or irritation prior to service. Depending on severity of your condition, sugaring may be contraindicated.

  • Please stop all active ingredients such as RetinA or AHA's 5 days prior to appointment in the area of hair removal as they can increase skin sensitivity, and cause damage or over exfoliation to the skin.

  • Does it hurt? Your first appointment will admittedly be uncomfy but if you stick with it, each appointment gets so much easier! I take extra steps for added comfort to make it a breeze! If permitted by your physician, you may take Tylenol prior to the appointment. If you tend to have redness after hair removal, an over the counter oral antihistamine may also be helpful. Please know that taking NSAIDs (I.e. IbProfen can increase bruising risk)

  • Please bring a clean pair of underwear to appointment. Loose clothing away from skin after appointment is most comfortable (think linen or sweat pants, not jeans or leggings). Do not come to an appointment immediately before/after a workout as excess sweat and bacteria increase risk for infection.

  • Please update your sugarista and your intake forms of any allergies along with changes to medical history or medications prior to every appointment.

  • Aftercare instructions will be provided at your appointment. Plan to avoid sweaty workouts, sexual activity, swimming or hot baths/tubs for 24 hours. These activities increase risk of infection too close to appointment
