Sugar House Wax Studio

Sugar House Wax Studio is a sugaring studio run by its founder, Jess, and based in Suite 16 of Legacy Salon Suites in Lewisville. The studio describes its mission as a judgment-free room where clients can relax, be themselves and leave feeling their best.

Sugaring is the method used here: a paste made from sugar, lemon and water, applied at body temperature and removed in the direction of hair growth. The studio says the method is less painful and less likely to cause irritation, ingrown hairs or breakage than traditional waxing, and that consistent sugaring leads to hair that grows back softer, finer and sparser.

The listed service is the First Time Client Brazilian Special at $50. A Brazilian session takes around 15 to 20 minutes, while larger areas such as the legs can take up to an hour.

For the best results, the studio asks that hair be about 1/8 inch long, roughly two weeks of growth after shaving. Clients are advised to gently exfoliate 24 to 48 hours before the visit and to avoid lotions or oils on the day of the appointment. After a session, the studio recommends avoiding hot baths, saunas, sweating and tight clothing for 24 to 48 hours. Sugaring can be done during a menstrual period, and the studio advises using a fresh tampon or menstrual cup.

Sugaring is offered in a judgment-free setting, with the paste applied at body temperature and removed in the direction of hair growth.
