Radiance Studio Services
Waxing and Sugaring hair removal have the same goal - permanent hair reduction. Either service performed on a regular basis (every 4-6 weeks) can cause the hair follicle to decrease the growth of new hairs thus providing a softer, more refined hair texture and over time a permanent reduction in hair regrowth.
With a specialized focus in Brazilian services, Kathy has developed a loyal following by delivering consistent results, gentle technique and a deep respect for every client’s comfort and privacy. Whether you are visiting for the first time or are a seasoned guest, you can expect personalized care and attention, skin smart treatments, and a warm relaxed experience from start to finish.
Waxing
-
Waxing is a form of hair removal in which warm wax is applied to the skin in the direction of hair growth and then rapidly removed in the opposite direction to extract unwanted body hair at the roots.
-
Waxing removes hair of any shade or consistency. It works on both fine and coarse hair and the rate of regrowth varies by person.
-
Consistency of maintenance appointments is your key to achieving optimal results with waxing.
-
For best results your hair length should be 1/4 inch prior to your service.
Sugaring
-
The art of body sugaring is an ancient practice which uses an all-natural sugar paste to remove body hair at the root. Kathy uses a traditional hand molded technique where sugar paste is applied in the opposite direction of hair growth and then ‘flicked’ off in the natural direction of hair growth. This process removes hair and dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling soft and renewed.
-
Sugar paste is an all-natural, water soluble product that is safe for even the most sensitive skin.
