Sugar Baby

Sugar Baby is a small business on Division Street in Portland, based in the Vivid Chromatics space at 959 SE Division Street, Suite 125. It offers two services: sugaring for hair removal and laser teeth whitening.

Sugaring is done with a paste made from sugar, water and lemon. It is applied at body temperature and pulled in the direction of hair growth.

Laser teeth whitening uses a cold laser combined with plant and mineral-based products. Anyone with teeth can book, and the teeth do not need to be perfect or free of cavities. Clients typically lighten by several shades in a single session, with results that usually last about six months to a year depending on oral care. The business recommends whitening maintenance about every six months and offers a teeth whitening pen for use at home. Buy Now, Pay Later is available for bookings from $50 to $4,000, with approval required before the appointment, and gift cards are offered.

The business says its sugaring is gentle enough for everyone and causes less irritation, broken hairs and ingrowns, and that its whitening costs less than dentist whitening with similar results and causes little to no sensitivity, according to the salon.
