Sugar Bare Esthetics

Sugar Bare Esthetics specializes in sugaring, a method of hair removal that uses a paste rather than wax. According to the business, sugaring began in North Africa and has been practiced since as early as 1900 BC.

Services are offered by appointment only, Thursday through Saturday, in Suite 550 of the building at 3701 W Old Shakopee Road in Bloomington. The studio sits inside Amuure Holistic Healing and Beyond Family Chiropractic.

The business applies its sugar paste in two ways: with strips, or by hand. The usual sequence is to remove most of the hair with strips and then refine the results by hand. Clients who would rather have only strips or only hand application can ask for that method.

The business states that its paste is made from sugar, lemon and water, that it is hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin, and that it is applied at low or room temperature so it adheres only to dead skin cells. It also states that sugaring is less likely than waxing to cause burns, redness, ingrown hairs or breakage, and that results can last longer. The business describes its sugar and cotton strips as biodegradable.

Clients can book online through the Book Now button on the website, or contact the business by phone or email. Post-care cards are given after each treatment to take home. The business welcomes clients of all genders.

The business describes sugaring as a gentler, less irritating option than waxing, and uses a paste made from simple ingredients applied by strips, by hand, or both.
