- Unwanted advances, propositions, or requests for sexual favors.
- Displaying or sharing sexually explicit materials.
- Inappropriate touching or physical contact.
- Any behavior that creates a hostile or intimidating environment.
Sexual misconduct is absolutely forbidden. Clients understand that any illicit or sexually suggestive remarks comments, advances or gestures will result in the immediate termination of the session. The hair removal&skincare session will be terminated immediately; should a client make any sexual advances and/or requests. Even questionable sexual discussion, can be cause for termination as per the provider discretion. Skincare is therapeutic in nature and is NO WAY SEXUAL. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES do we condone or perform any kind of service even remotely associated with sexual service. This is a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY. Please RESPECT the professional boundaries that exist between provider and client. Professional treatment is an absolute must. Inappropriate or Immoral behavior will not be tolerated. A session will not be conducted if the client is intoxicated, under the influence of drugs or threatening the safety of the provider, the safety of others in the studio space, or becomes a danger to themselves. Intimidating verbal harassment will not be tolerated as the provider cannot maintain proper therapeutic Boundaries or provide effective unbiased treatment under threat of retaliation or coercion. If any of these behaviors take place within studio setting, the provider has the right to stop treatment and ask the client to leave the premise.
Refusal can result in reporting to the police for trespassing. The client (s) will be held accountable for full payment of their session booked, in order to compensate for the time which was held exclusively on their behalf, as per the treating provider discretion.

Sugaring
The most comfortable hair removal experience we can create!
Sugaring is a far superior method of hair removal because when you remove the root, the follicle will have less blood supply to it overtime, which will in turn weaken it," says esthetician and sugaring expert. You’ll get less hair growth each time, and the hair that does grow will be finer and sparser. The end result: smooth, hairless skin, which usually lasts for around four week.
The method dates back to Ancient Egypt and involves using a 100% natural paste—typically made from a mixture of lemon, water, and honey—to remove hair from its root. sugar wax sugaring hair removal

Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at info@nuebeauty.us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Though they may sound similar, sugaring and waxing are different. The main distinction is the direction the hair is pulled.
With waxing, the wax in apply the same direction as hair growth and remove the wax in the opposite direction. This method can cause hair follicles to break in half, as you’re pulling against the direction of hair follicles.
When it comes to sugaring, we applying the mixture in the opposite direction and then pulling hair in the direction it grows.
Waxing is often done in one treatment, while sugaring may take several passes. Sugaring doesn’t remove as many additional skin cells since the cooled mixture doesn’t adhere to your skin. Wax does stick to your skin, so when it’s pulled off, it can cause irritation. Some say that sugaring is less painful than waxing, but it’s all based on the individual and their pain tolerance.
You’re spending money and enduring some pain to achieve that hair-free look. So, you want results that last, right?
Hair growth can vary depending on site but most treatments last for about 2-4 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows.
Yes, we recommend making an appointment in advance to ensure availability. You can do so by calling us at [9258443525] or booking online.
The paste used for sugaring is made with sugar, lemon juice and water. It’s warmed up to your body’s temperature before being applied.
After cleaning your skin, a layer of paste is applied in the opposite direction that your hair grows. Then, in quick, short flicking motions, the sugar paste is removed, pulling hair in the direction it grows.
As the paste is sticky, it adheres to your body’s hair and pulls it out as it’s removed.
The length of each appointment varies depending on the area and extent of hair being treated.
With sugaring, your hair may grow back softer and thinner than before, especially the more you do it.
It may also cause less irritation than waxing.
And the application and clean-up of sugaring is an easy process, as the paste is water-based. It’ll easily wash out of clothes, and if any residue is left over on your skin, you can use water to remove it.
Before your appointment, you want to make sure your hair is long enough for the product to stick to it — usually at least a few millimeters, 1/8 inch.
You also want to stop all products that can be irritating or may make the cells easier to remove like the retinoids.
Anyone who takes isotretinoin (a medication used to treat severe cystic acne) shouldn’t undergo sugaring for at least six months after finishing the medication.
Additionally, any inflamed or infected skin shouldn’t be treated and any irritating topicals like tretinoin (a medication used to treat acne and other skin conditions) should be stopped at least a few days before treatment, Avoid sun exposure both before and after treatment, and don’t get treated if you’re sunburned or the skin is irritated or infected.
You may be able to use a topical numbing cream to help with the discomfort, but ask esthetician what they recommend, as some creams can block the sugaring product from sticking to the hair.
Also recommends taking ibuprofen or acetaminophen an hour before treatment and for any discomfort after treatment.
OK, you’ve tried sugaring for the first time. Now, what do you do?
- Watch out for ingrown hairs. If you have coarse curly hair, you’re at a higher risk for ingrowni hair. And if you’ve treated areas of skin that are considered skin folds — where the hairs exit the follicle in all directions — then the risk of ingrown hairs is higher. An ingrown hair is a strand of hair that grows back into your skin instead of out. If you shave often, you’re more likely to have ingrown hairs.
- Keep the skin clean after treatment may help avoid infection setting in in the ingrown areas. If an ingrown hair becomes infected, you may notice the bumps getting bigger and more painful. Pustules occur when there’s pus around the follicles.
When new hair grows, it may curl back and enter your skin. This more commonly occurs if your hair is thick, curly or coarse.
Ingrown hairs can affect anyone, but they’re easy to treat and prevent with the right hair removal practices.
Stop shaving and allow the hair to grow!
To remove an ingrown hair, gently exfoliate your skin. Exfoliating your skin removes a dead layer of skin cells and helps release ingrown hairs. Use warm — not hot — water and small, circular motions to wash your affected areas with a washcloth, exfoliating brush or exfoliating gel or scrub 2-3 times in week.
To prevent scarring or infection, don’t pick at, scratch or pop your ingrown hairs.
