Why Try Waxing or Sugaring Services in Algonquin?
01
Less Skin Irritation
Other forms of hair removal like shaving or depilatory can cause irritation on sensitive skin, so even when you're hair free you might have unsightly bumps! Waxing and sugaring is much less irritating on your skin.
02
Semi-Permanent Results
Since waxing and sugaring removes hair at the root instead of just the outer surface of the skin, the results are much longer lasting.
03
Slower Hair Growth Long Term
If you routinely receiving waxing or sugaring services, your hair will grow back slower and finer over time.
