Returning and new clients, please read:

 

Hi, my name is Vanessa, and I’m the owner and operator of Urban Sugaring. I’m a Certified Aesthetician and proud graduate of, Gary Manuel Aveda Institute — Class of 2009.

Urban Sugaring is located on 6th Ave in Tacoma, WA. between Tricky's & Fifi's Flower Shop.

 

Before we begin this journey together, there are a few important things you should know before entering my establishment:

  • Building Access: A door code will be sent to you in your appointment confirmation.

  • Solo Studio: I work independently — it’s a one-woman show!

  • Communication: I’m unable to answer calls during business hours, and I don’t book appointments through text or email. All booking and rebooking must be done online.

  • Family-Friendly Note: I’m a proud mom of two, and they occasionally come to work with me.

  • Health & Wellness: If you’re feeling unwell or recovering from a cold or flu, please reschedule your appointment for a later date.

  • Grace Period: There’s a 5-minute grace period for services lasting 15–30 minutes, and a 10-minute grace period for services 30 minutes or longer.

 

Yes-- you can be sugared while on your period.

Yes-- you can get sugared while pregnant.

Yes-- I sugar men, but I do not sugar male private parts.

 

What should I do BEFORE and AFTER my appointment for better comfort?

   I'd recommend BEFORE appointment:

  • Two or more weeks of growth. Rice grain length is preferred.

  • Exfoliate 24 hours before.

  • Don't trim too short.

  • Hydration does help. So drink your water!

  • So you might be a little pink and tender for some time after. To help, I recommend, if able to take, Tylenol or Ibuprofen 30-60 minutes before.

  • Please no lotions on skin before appointment.

 

For the next 24 hours AFTER, no:

  • Saunas or Chlorine

  • Gym

  • Tanning/ Spray tanning

  • DO NOT OVER EXFOLIATE. Please wait 48 hours to exfoliate after sugaring. Too much exfoliating can irritate the skin.

  • ABSOLUTELY NO  SUGAR SCRUBS, HEMP PRODUCTS, BATH AND BODY WORKS PRODUCTS. NOTHING WITH PERFUME.  Too many chemicals that can irritate skin.​ 

 

Body Butter, Soap, and Body Oils are sold in the shop. Locally made by Skybox Skincare Bar.

Sugaring is recommended every 4-6 weeks.

 

If you have any questions, please email me.
