Waxing and Sugaring: Techniques, Benefits and Precautions

SMOOTH TODAY. SHAVING AGAIN TOMORROW?

Not necessarily.

Waxing and sugaring remove hair from the root, leaving your skin smooth for considerably longer than shaving — usually for several weeks, depending on your individual hair growth.

One appointment. No lengthy course of treatments.

At The NOW Beauty Lab in Rijeka, we offer both waxing and sugaring, choosing the technique according to your skin, hair texture and treatment area.

WAXING. SMOOTH SKIN WITHOUT THE DAILY ROUTINE.

Wax grips the hair and removes it from the root. Unlike shaving, which cuts hair at the skin’s surface, the results last considerably longer.

It’s particularly practical for larger areas such as legs, arms and back.

The biggest advantage? Smooth skin after just one appointment.

Without having to reach for your razor every day.

NOT ALL WAXES ARE THE SAME. NEITHER ARE THE TECHNIQUES.

The technique used for your legs isn’t necessarily the right one for a sensitive bikini area.

Wax temperature, hair density, growth direction and proper skin tension all influence the quality of the treatment and your comfort.

Professional waxing isn’t simply about removing hair. It’s about doing it properly.

EXPERTISE SHOWS IN MORE THAN THE FINAL RESULT.

Especially when sensitive skin is involved.

At The NOW Beauty Lab, waxing and sugaring are performed by Kateryna — the salon’s founder and director, specialising in traditional hair removal and laser hair removal.

She assesses the treatment area, selects the appropriate product and technique, and pays close attention to temperature and your skin’s response.

Smooth skin matters. But so does how your skin feels throughout the treatment and afterwards.

WHY WAIT FOR A COURSE OF TREATMENTS WHEN YOU WANT SMOOTH SKIN NOW?

Before a holiday. A special occasion. Or simply because you love the feeling.

Waxing delivers a visible result in a single appointment.

No mandatory course of treatments. No need to rearrange your routine.

You choose a time that suits you. We’ll take care of the treatment with professional precision.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A WAXING APPOINTMENT?

Nothing complicated.

Your specialist assesses and prepares the skin, applies professional wax and removes the hair using the appropriate technique. The treatment finishes with suitable aftercare.

How it feels varies from person to person, particularly in sensitive areas.

Our priority is thorough hair removal, precise technique and minimal unnecessary stress on the skin.

WHEN IS IT BETTER TO POSTPONE WAXING OR SUGARING?

If your skin is sunburnt, damaged, inflamed or severely irritated.

Extra care is also needed after certain exfoliating treatments, when using retinoids or taking particular medications.

Always tell your specialist about these factors before your appointment.

Sometimes, the most professional decision is to choose another date rather than put your skin at risk.

SUGARING. A DIFFERENT TECHNIQUE. THE SAME DESIRED RESULT.

Sugaring also removes hair from the root, using a professional sugar paste.

With the traditional manual technique, the paste is applied against the direction of hair growth and removed in the direction of growth.

This allows precise treatment of smaller areas while taking individual hair growth patterns into account.

More than a sweet alternative to wax. Sugaring is a professional hair removal technique in its own right.

SUGARING ISN’T PAIN-FREE — OR AUTOMATICALLY GENTLER THAN WAX.

Comfort depends on more than the product itself.

Skin sensitivity, hair density, the treatment area and your specialist’s technique all play a part.

Sugar paste may be preferable for certain areas, while waxing may be better suited to others.

That’s why we choose the method according to your skin and hair — not marketing promises.

WAXING OR SUGARING?

Waxing — fast, effective hair removal, particularly for larger areas.

Sugaring — a technique that allows precise work on smaller areas while following the natural direction of hair growth.

Both methods leave your skin smooth after one appointment. And both require professional technique.

Not sure which to choose? You don’t need to know every technical detail.

That’s what your specialist is there for — to help you choose the most suitable method.

“BUT WILL IT REALLY HURT?”

One of the most common questions before a first waxing or sugaring appointment.

Removing hair from the root can be uncomfortable, especially in sensitive areas or during your first treatment.

However, proper technique, working in smaller sections and paying attention to your skin’s response can help make the experience more comfortable.

You don’t have to suffer in silence. A good specialist listens to you rather than simply rushing to finish the treatment.

HOW TO PREPARE — AND KEEP YOUR SKIN COMFORTABLE AFTERWARDS

Hair needs to be long enough for wax or sugar paste to grip it properly — usually around 4–6 mm.

Before your appointment, avoid applying oils or rich creams to the area being treated.

Afterwards, give your skin time to settle. Temporarily avoid hot baths, saunas, excessive friction and direct sun exposure.

Your specialist will provide aftercare advice tailored to your skin.
