Sugar & Glow Long Beach

Sugar & Glow performs sugar waxing, a method of removing body hair using a paste made from lemons, sugar and water. The business operates from three California locations: 8270 Firestone Boulevard in Downey, 110 W Center St Promenade in Anaheim, and 4223 Atlantic Ave. in Long Beach.

The business describes its sugaring as natural and gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. The sugar is applied at room temperature or slightly warmer and is meant to adhere to hair rather than live skin cells. Sugar is applied against the direction of hair growth and removed along it, which the business says makes ingrown hairs uncommon when clients follow proper at-home care.

Clients can expect some discomfort during a first session, which the business says often eases with regular appointments. Results are described as lasting four to six weeks, and the business says repeated sessions lead to finer, sparser regrowth. Suggested gaps between sessions are three to four weeks for the face, two to four weeks for underarms, and four to six weeks for arms, legs and Brazilian.

Booking takes some preparation. Hair needs to grow out two to three weeks before an appointment, and clients should not trim it beforehand. Hair that is too short is treated as a same-day cancellation. Appointments are kept within a ten-minute grace period, and changes should be made by phone before 7pm on weekdays or 4pm on weekends. Same-day changes carry a fee of half the scheduled services. Additional guests are not allowed at appointments.

The business states its values as customer service, natural comfort, hygiene and helping clients feel at ease. Its team is made up entirely of women, and the business says its professionals prioritize ongoing training. Hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 8pm and Saturday and Sunday 9am to 5pm.

Sugaring is presented as a natural, gentle hair removal method, with a focus on hygiene and client comfort.
