Informed Consent: Sugaring Hair Removal
Sugaring hair removal, an ancient middle-eastern practice. is similar to waxing, but the paste sticks to the hair not to the skin, which causes less redness, pain, and inflammation. And, since the mixture is made of natural ingredients, there's less irritation and it washes off easily with water. Just like waxing, if not done properly or unknown skin conditions are not disclosed, sugaring could lead to painful or infected ingrown hairs, or bruising. When the client keeps the trained professional informed about their skin, the results are smooth skin that can last up to 6 weeks.
Please be aware of the following information and possible risks.

I understand that the use of (AHA) alpha hydroxy or glycolic acids, Retin-a, Renova, or Accutane within 72 hours of waxing is contraindicated and may cause the skin to lift or peel.
I understand that the use of tanning beds and/or sun exposure immediately after sugaring hair removal is contraindicated
