Our recommendation
Both waxing and sugaring deliver comparable results in terms of longevity and smoothness. Sugaring, made from sugar, water, and lemon juice, is praised for its natural formula and gentleness on sensitive skin. Professional waxing is a time-tested method effective on all body areas. At Sans Souci Ongles & Spa, we offer professional waxing services using quality products, applied by experienced technicians. To book your appointment or learn more, call us at (450) 505-6450.

Waxing in LavalFrequently asked questions
- What is the main difference between waxing and sugaring?
- Wax is made from resins and can be applied warm or cold, while sugaring uses a paste of sugar, water, and lemon juice at room temperature. Both remove hair from the root.
- Is waxing painful?
- Mild discomfort is normal, but our technicians work quickly using techniques that minimize pain. Skin typically becomes less sensitive with regular appointments.

- Hair should be approximately 3 to 5 mm long (about 2 weeks of growth) for effective wax hair removal.
