At Sugar & Silk in Rancho Bernardo, waiting at least 2 weeks after shaving is essential before your sugaring appointment to ensure optimal hair removal results.
The 2-Week Rule Explained: Hair needs to reach approximately 1/4 inch length for the sugar paste to effectively grip and remove from the root. Shorter hair often breaks at the surface rather than being fully extracted, mimicking shaving results instead of true hair removal.
Why Length Matters: • Sugar paste requires sufficient hair length to adhere properly • Shorter hair leads to incomplete removal and missed spots • Proper length ensures smooth, long-lasting results • Reduces need for multiple passes over sensitive areas
Sugaring vs Waxing Advantage: While brazilian waxing and bikini waxing typically require longer hair, sugaring in san diego can work with slightly shorter growth due to the superior gripping properties of natural sugar paste. However, 2 weeks post-shave remains ideal.
Pre-Appointment Preparation: During your waiting period: • Resist urge to shave or trim • Gently exfoliate skin 2-3 times weekly • Keep area moisturized daily • Avoid harsh chemicals or treatments
This timing applies to all our services including brazilian sugaring, bikini sugaring, and full body hair removal treatments.
