Hair removal doesn’t have to be harsh on your skin. At Venelle Salon & Spa in Park Slope, Brooklyn, we offer professional sugaring hair removal — a natural, gentle, and highly effective alternative to traditional waxing.

Sugaring has been around for centuries and is loved for its skin-friendly, eco-conscious, and long-lasting results. Whether you’re new to hair removal or looking for a more comfortable alternative, sugaring could be your new go-to method.


What Is Sugaring?

Sugaring is a hair removal technique that uses a simple paste made of sugar, lemon, and water — no resins, chemicals, or artificial fragrances. The sugar paste is applied to the skin and gently removed in the direction of hair growth, pulling hair from the root while minimizing irritation.


Benefits of Sugaring

1. 100% Natural & Skin-Safe

Perfect for sensitive skin, sugaring contains no synthetic ingredients, making it hypoallergenic and gentle.

2. Less Painful Than Waxing

Because sugaring doesn’t stick to live skin cells — only to hair and dead skin cells — many clients find it less painful than traditional waxing.

3. Smoother, Longer-Lasting Results

Sugaring removes hair from the root, giving you 3–6 weeks of smoothness with softer, finer regrowth over time.

4. Gentle Exfoliation

The sugar paste naturally exfoliates dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling soft, fresh, and glowing.

5. Eco-Friendly & Water-Soluble

Sugaring paste is biodegradable and easily rinses away with water — no sticky residue, no waste.

Tips for the Best Sugaring Results

  • Let hair grow to at least ⅛–¼ inch for best removal.

  • Keep skin hydrated and exfoliated between appointments for longer-lasting smoothness.


Sugaring vs. Waxing

While both remove hair from the root, sugaring is often gentler, especially for sensitive skin. Waxing may be faster for larger areas, but sugaring offers less irritation and a cleaner, residue-free finish.
