Aly | Los Angeles & Dana Point Hair Artist

Wave goodbye to your razors and say hello to a world of smooth skin! We’re super excited to introduce our new aesthetician, Michaela, joining us at Magical Shears Hair Salon. With her expert sugaring/waxing techniques and magical touch, Michaela is here to elevate your grooming game. Let’s dive into why waxing with Michaela is the move this season!

What is sugaring & waxing?

Sugaring and waxing are both hair removal techniques that pull hair out by the root, but they differ in several ways, including:

• Application: Sugaring paste is applied against the direction of hair growth and removed in the direction of growth. Wax is applied in the direction of hair growth and removed in the opposite direction. 
• Ingredients: Sugaring paste is made from natural ingredients like sugar, water, and lemon juice. Wax is made from resins. 
• Temperature: Sugaring paste is applied at room temperature. Wax is often warmer than sugaring paste. 
• Repeat use: Sugaring paste can be reapplied multiple times to the same area. Wax is typically only used once per area and then thrown away. 
• Hair Type: Sugaring is best for fine to medium hair, while waxing is effective for all hair types. 

Why Sugar? Oh, Let Us Count the Ways!

Sugaring & Waxing aren’t just about flaunting silky-smooth skin—it’s a beauty boost that keeps on giving. Here’s why you should consider booking your next session with Michaela:

1. Longer-Lasting Smoothness:

Unlike shaving, waxing pulls hair from the roots, giving you weeks of smoothness without the itch of regrowth.

2. Finer, Softer Regrowth:

Regular waxing can make your hair grow back finer and softer—say goodbye to stubbly reappearances!

3. Exfoliation Bonus:

Waxing isn’t just hair removal—it’s also a great exfoliation method, removing dead skin cells for a glowy skin boost.

4. Fewer Ingrown Hairs:

With Michaela’s professional technique, you can minimize the risk of ingrown hairs, a common shaving bummer.

Before Your Appointment: Tips to Get Wax-Ready

1. Let It Grow (a Little):

Ensure your hair is about ¼ inch long for the best waxing results—this length allows the wax to grip hair effectively.

2. Exfoliate Beforehand:

Gently exfoliate the area to be waxed the day before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and free trapped hairs.

3. Skip the Lotions and Oils:

On the day of your waxing, avoid moisturizers and oils on the areas getting waxed—they can prevent the wax from gripping hair properly.

4. Wear Loose Clothing:

Post-wax, opt for loose clothing to avoid irritation in the waxed areas.
