This is not what you would class as sugaring. A spatulor and strip wax paper was used to apply the wax instead of the traditional method. This is apparently because it is faster however I would argue that this is no different to strip waxing it does not protect the skin and the hair grew back quicker than the traditional sugaring method. Can't fault the technician though she was very good at what she did and the place is nice just to be warned it's not sugaring!
