Here at Eve, we specialise in sugaring because we believe it to be the best form of hair removal – and we want to give the women who visit us the absolute best. Often considered a new treatment, sugaring is growing in popularity and in fact has been circulating here in the UK since the 80s but, what is it? 

Sugaring consists of a lemon juice, sugar and water paste which is carefully mixed and heated gently to body temperature. The mixture is applied to the body against the direction of hair growth, and removed using short pulling motions in the direction of the hair. This means that hair is removed at the root, along with dead skin cells (hello, gorgeous exfoliation) and it doesn’t adhere to the living layer of skin. This leads to less breakage of the follicles and ensures a cleaner, more long lasting result. 

Sugaring is an ancient method, originating in Africa and the Middle East, for removing unwanted body hair.  It  was adopted by these ancient cultures as their favoured method of hair removal and it is even rumoured that Cleopatra herself used sugaring in Ancient Egypt. 

So, why is sugaring so great? Not only is it a fantastic method of hair removal suitable for even the most sensitive of skin types, it is also kind to the planet, organic and very hygienic. It also comes with the bonus of being more gentle on the skin, and is water based. 

Whilst we forge forward with developing new cosmetic technologies and techniques, there are beautiful instances when we must look to the past as key in helping to preserve our future. Our self care needs have never diminished – and nor should they – however it is possible for the ways we choose to care for ourselves to align with the collective care we must all take of our planet. Sugaring is chemical free, organic and eco friendly – it causes no environmental harm. Our decision to offer sugaring is borne out of a want to meet the needs of each individual as environmentally, holistically and mindfully as possible.  

As we edge our way to a world where we are more mindful about what we consume, use and discard, the methods we use to care for ourselves are constantly evolving. Our sense of self, especially as women, is becoming stronger and more confident (hooray!) and with that, comes an evolving assurance we are in charge of our own bodies and can make decisions on what is best for it which are not based on societal beauty standards. We believe here at Eve that our perfectly imperfect bodies should be celebrated, and the individual self care needs of all women who visit us are honoured to the utmost of our expertise. 

We treat each client as an individual, and therefore understand that tolerance levels for hair removal sensation vary hugely. However, we feel confident that sugaring offers overall, a more gentle and pleasant hair removal experience. 

When you visit us here at Eve, you will not find us agenda pushing one treatment over another. We take the time to understand the results you are wanting to achieve, what is important to you and will work with you to create a bespoke treatment designed just for you.  This is achievable because we work only on the basis of consultation-led treatments.. We take huge pride in having created a place for women to explore intimate hair removal techniques in our safe sanctuary of self-care.
