Got Excuses? Get Sugar’d.

Friends: there’s no good excuse for not getting sugared.

Guys, girls, everyone. Here’s the deal: no one enjoys getting the hair ripped off their bodies, but many of us do it anyway.

Why? That’s a good question.

For some of us, we just like the maintenance, and would rather tough it out for 10 minutes each month, than to shave every day. For others, it’s the feeling of smooth, soft skin that keeps them booking regular appointments.

If you’ve wanted to try getting sugared but haven’t yet, we dare you to come up with a viable excuse regarding why you haven’t.

Here are some of the excuses we don’t accept, because they’re not real:

Low Pain Tolerance

That’s okay, because getting sugared isn’t that painful. Yes, it will be uncomfortable, but it’s not as painful as waxing. Also, the sugar isn’t heated, so there’s no way to get burned. We also provide you with a squishy beaver (yep) to hold in your hand and squeeze to relieve tension.

Bottom line? You’ll be fine. Book an appointment.

Too Busy

No, you’re not. We have 4 salons between Chilliwack and Cloverdale, and we’re open later on certain days. You can do it—this is entirely up to you.

Book an appointment.

The Scary Aftermath

What scary aftermath?! You literally do nothing! We sugar you, and then you come back 4-5 weeks later. It’s easy—book an appointment.

Not Enough Time

Yes, there is. If you have just 10 minutes, you can get your bikini sugared. In fact, you can get your underarms, lip, brows, or bikini done in under 10 minutes, generally.

10 minutes! You have that time. Book an appointment.

Fear of Ingrowns

*Snort.

This is one of the fabulous things about sugaring: no in-grown hairs! This is because we pull in the direction of hair growth, not the other way around. (You know, like waxing.)

You will experience minimal to zero in-grown hairs; we promise. Book an appointment.

And some of our more creative excuses:

The Dreaded Period

So? 51% of the planet will have, has, or have had periods. They’re a thing, and we don’t care. Book an appointment.

Hairy Legs

We’re not even going to comment on this one. Don’t be ridiculous; book an appointment. (We’ll do your legs, too.)

Hemorrhoids

Here’s the deal: hemorrhoids happen. To everyone. Not just you, and not just us. EVERYONE. Forget about the ‘roid—book an appointment. Hemorrhoids are NOT allowed to dictate your hair removal habits.

C’mon…

Embarrassed to Be Bare

Why? You’ve been naked in front of people before—and for way more invasive reasons than hair removal. Birthing babies. Pap tests. Sex. (Probably in the opposite order.)

All we’re doing is removing some hair. Book an appointment.

Shrinkage (this one’s for dudes)

Fact: we don’t care about shrinkage. We’re not your wives or girlfriends or partners or buddies or whatever. We’re here to get you sugared and send you on your way. Plus, our rooms are not cold—we’re in the business of removing hair from people who are often at least half naked.

We’re keeping warm rooms, guys. We promise. Book an appointment. (Note: we only offer male brazilians at our Chilliwack and Langley locations.)

No excuses! Book an appointment.

 

A Call for Local Products!

As some of you probably already know, our Abbotsford location is currently under renovation. (We’re still open for business!) We’re so excited to have this project almost completed and can’t wait to share the new space with you.

On that note: we want everyone to know that we’re looking for locally produced products that are in line with our brand to come live on our shelves and be sold at our shop! We even have new, pretty shelving for it—let’s fill them up!

We’d like to carry items that fall under the following umbrella:

Cosmetics

We’re in the business of cosmetic hair removal—it only seems natural that we carry a great, local, skincare line! What do you look for in great skincare products? Which ones are you always on the hunt for? (Deodorant? Face cream? Makeup remover?)

Let us know!

Wellness

We’re thinking of locally created teas, aromatherapy, bath salts, candles, and more. Things like that. Products that make you feel good and lend to good health, whether it be mental, physical, emotional, whatever.

Tell us what you want, and if you know anyone making it!

Esthetics

Similar to cosmetics, but not quite. Products that fall under ‘esthetics’ include things like nail polish, hair colour, hair removal kits…just kidding. We got those in the bag!

But you see where we’re going with this, right?

So help us out. Know someone local who’s making amazing, effective products that fall in line with our Sugar’d brand? We want to meet them and try their products.

If you’re in need of a good sugaring (do you have a sunny vacation coming up, soon?), call the Sugar’d location closest to you to book an appointment. Remember, we have shops in Vancouver, Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack.

See you soon; we can’t wait to show off our new Downtown Abby renovations!

Stay sweet.

 

5 Sweet Facts about Sugar’d

If you’re already familiar with our business, then you may know this stuff. But if you’re not, get ready to learn 5 sweet facts about Sugar’d!

Here we go:

We Have 5 Locations

Truth. We have Sugar’d locations in Vancouver, Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack. Basically, you have no excuse to not give Sugar’d a try—we’re close to you, no matter what!

We’re Owned and Operated Exclusively by Women

Tammy Dupuis started our Abbotsford location, and since then, our business model has been loved and picked up by other like-minded female entrepreneurs. Sugar’d is owned and operated exclusively by women—which makes our franchise practically scream “Girl Power!”

Don’t worry; we love men, too. (*wink)

We Make Our Own Sugar Paste

Our sugar paste is comprised of just three ingredients: water, sugar, and lemon juice. We won’t tell you our exact measurement secrets, but we DO want to be completely transparent about the fact that it’s 100% natural.

And made by US!

Because we make our own product, we can be sure that it’s super high-quality.

We also sell sugar kits at every single one of our locations, for those who want to do the procedure themselves. (Sweet, right?!)

We Provide Training

Wanna work with us?

We provide training so that people like you can become a Certified Body Sugar Practitioner. Instruction takes place over two full days, and students learn from industry professionals and become confident in the Sugar’d technique.

Our training is completely hands on, ensuring you get the education you require for success.

We Feel Good about What We Do

Because our product is all natural (even 100% edible!), we feel good knowing that it’s also environmentally friendly. Providing a green, kind product for our clients makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside, which makes it easy for us to back our sugar paste and genuinely love what we do.

Haven’t experienced how sweet sugaring is, yet? Get on it! Call us today to book an appointment; we promise, you won’t regret it. (Especially if you’ve been waxing…)
