Artistic E's Skin & Sugar Spa Chandler (closed)

Artistic E's Skin & Sugar Spa offers sugaring for face, body and bikini hair removal, along with facials, permanent make-up for brows and eyeliner, and brow and lash tinting. Services are by appointment only, and clients can book online.

The Gilbert studio is on East Germann Road inside My Salon Suites, and every service there takes place in a private room. The business also lists a second address on East Pecos Road in Chandler.

Sugaring is the core of the menu and is priced by area, from a $10 nose to $105 full legs. The business describes its paste as made from natural ingredients, hypo-allergenic and non-comedogenic, and applied at body temperature rather than heated like hot wax. It says the paste rinses off with water, which it presents as easier cleanup than wax. For sanitation, it names tonic, nitrile gloves and an antimicrobial skin cleanser.

Facials start with a custom facial tailored to individual skin care needs at $75. Microdermabrasion is $95, and the business describes it as requiring no downtime. The Epicuren Signature Facial is $115.

The studio also works with other professionals. It runs body sugaring classes for licensed professionals or people enrolled in beauty school, sells professional sugaring supplies to licensed professionals who order online, and offers an educator program for experienced sugarists who want to teach.

Built around a natural sugaring paste applied at body temperature, with a sanitation routine the business lists as part of its process.

All services at the Gilbert studio take place in a private room.
