What Is Sugaring?
Sugaring uses a sugar-based paste (typically sugar, water, and lemon) to remove hair from the root. It is a distinct method from traditional waxing. Your esthetician applies the paste and removes hair according to the studio technique that fits the area being treated.

Many nearby clinics emphasize laser or hard wax. Wax & Co. specializes in sugaring as well as waxing and brows at our Thornton studio. Clients often choose sugar when they prefer a sugar-based service, want Brazilian or body options on a sugar menu, or are comparing methods before they book.

Sugaring vs. Waxing
Both remove hair from the root. Sugaring uses a sugar-based paste; waxing uses professional wax. Feel, aftercare timing, and preference vary by person and area. Wax & Co. offers both methods in Thornton so you can choose per service—not a wax-only franchise menu. Compare Brazilian options on Brazilian waxing and Brazilian sugaring, body areas on full body waxing and body sugaring, or read our wax vs. sugaring guide to pick the right service.
How to Prepare for Sugaring
- Allow enough hair growth for the paste to grip (guidelines are often similar to waxing).
- Arrive with clean skin.
- Skip lotions, oils, and heavy products on the area the day of your appointment.
- Wear comfortable clothing you can change out of easily.
If you are unsure about growth length, message us when you book or call (720) 428-0856.
Sugaring Aftercare
For about the first 24 hours, avoid excessive heat, swimming, and intense workouts so freshly treated skin can settle. After that window, gentle exfoliation and moisturizing support smoother-looking skin. Browse our ingrown essentials collection for take-home care.
Who Sugaring Is For
First-timers curious about sugar, clients seeking an alternative to wax, and anyone booking Brazilian, bikini, face, or body sugar from our current menu. Tell your esthetician if it is your first sugar service so we can pace the appointment comfortably.

Sugaring FAQs
Do any nearby Thornton medspas offer sugaring?
Many nearby clinics focus on laser or hard wax. Wax & Co. specializes in sugaring as well as waxing and brows at our Thornton studio—book the sugar service that matches the area you want treated.
Is sugaring better than waxing?
“Better” depends on your skin, hair, and preference. Both remove hair from the root. Sugaring uses a sugar-based paste; waxing uses professional wax. Your esthetician can help you choose when you book, and our wax vs. sugaring guide compares the two in detail.
How long should hair be for sugaring?
Allow enough growth for the paste to grip. For best results, arrive with at least ¼ to ½ inch of hair growth. If you are unsure, message us when you book or call (720) 428-0856.
Can I get a Brazilian with sugar?
Yes. See Brazilian sugaring for anatomy-specific options available in our current menu.
Sugaring, waxing, or laser: which is right for me?
Sugaring and waxing both remove hair from the root during a single studio visit, with no series commitment. Laser is a different category of treatment offered by medical or laser providers, usually as a series of sessions, so talk to a qualified provider about whether it fits your skin and hair. Wax & Co. offers sugaring and waxing in Thornton (not laser), and you can choose sugar or wax area by area.
How long does sugaring last compared with waxing or laser?
Sugaring and waxing results vary with your hair-growth cycle; most clients rebook when there is enough new growth for the paste to grip. Laser providers generally describe gradual hair reduction across multiple sessions, with results that vary by person, so ask your provider what to expect.
What does sugaring cost over time?
You pay per visit, with no package required. A Brazilian sugar is $80 (vulva) or $90 (penis), the same price as a Brazilian wax; a bikini sugar is $55, and underarms are $32. Your yearly total depends on how often you rebook: at $80, every 4 weeks works out to 13 visits ($1,040) a year, and every 6 weeks to about 9 visits ($720). Laser is priced by each provider, so if you are comparing, ask for a written quote that includes the number of sessions. See every sugar and wax price on our pricing page.
Is sugaring gentler on sensitive skin?
Sensation and skin response vary by person and by area, so we don't promise one method is gentler for everyone. Many clients who prefer a sugar-based paste choose sugaring for that reason. Tell your esthetician about sensitive areas, recent reactions, or products you use, and they will help you decide between sugar and wax.
Can I switch from waxing to sugaring (or back)?
Yes. Prep is the same for both: let hair grow, don't shave, and arrive with clean skin. Book the sugar or wax line item you want for each visit in online booking. Waxing options are on our Brazilian waxing and full body waxing pages. If you are in a laser series elsewhere, follow your laser provider's instructions about sugaring or waxing between sessions.
Does sugaring help with ingrown hairs?
No hair-removal method can guarantee you won't get ingrown hairs. Consistent aftercare makes the biggest difference: keep skin clean, avoid heavy friction for the first day, then exfoliate gently and moisturize. Our ingrown essentials collection has take-home options, and our razor bumps and aftercare guide covers habits that help.
