B.A.E. Sugar Co.

B.A.E. Sugar Co. focuses on sugaring hair removal and is run by its owner, Kristina Seaton, a sugarist based in Walnut Creek. The business serves Walnut Creek and surrounding areas, and the studio's listing names both B.A.E. Sugar Co. and Bay Area Esthetics Sugar Company.

Before a first appointment, clients complete a client intake and consent form, which also includes post-treatment care information. The booking process shows the cancellation and no-show policy, which clients agree to at checkout. Creating a booking account is suggested for faster future booking and checkout.

To prepare, first-time visitors need hair about a quarter inch long, roughly three to four weeks of growth. Clients are asked to exfoliate the treatment area the week before, shower and cleanse the skin on the day to remove products and lotions, limit caffeine beforehand, and wear loose clothing afterward to avoid pressure on the skin. Clients may take ibuprofen about 30 minutes before arrival for comfort.

After a visit, clients are advised to avoid swimming pools, gyms, saunas and other activities that cause sweating. Bikini and Brazilian clients are asked to avoid sexual activity and sweating for 24 to 48 hours. The owner does not recommend sugaring during the menstrual cycle. Follow-up visits are booked after four to six weeks of growth, with no shaving or waxing in between, and the owner recommends at-home products to keep results smooth and moisturized.

The studio focuses on preparation and aftercare guidance, so clients know what to do before and after each sugaring visit.
