Services
Sugaring Hair Removal
Our sugaring technique uses organic lemon, sugar, and water paste to remove hair painlessly from the root. This ancient Egyptian method adheres only to dead skin cells, making it ideal for sensitive skin. Regular sessions weaken hair follicles, resulting in finer regrowth and up to four weeks of smoothness.
Facials
Customized facial treatments address specific skincare concerns using high-quality botanical products. Options range from acne solutions to anti-aging microcurrent therapy. Each session includes targeted serums, LED light therapy, and hydrating masks to improve skin texture and promote radiance for all skin types.
Body Treatments
Our body treatments combine exfoliation and relaxation to rejuvenate skin and reduce stress. The Stress Melt includes a full-body massage with back scrub, while the Exfoliating Body Scrub uses sugar crystals and moisturizing oils to remove dead skin cells and restore skin's natural glow.
Sugaring for Athletes
Designed to address athletic skin challenges, this service reduces ingrowns and friction-related issues. Sugaring removes hair in the natural growth direction, minimizing irritation from sweat and tight clothing. Athletes experience improved comfort, better focus, and enhanced performance through regular maintenance sessions.
Sugaring vs Waxing
Our educational service highlights sugaring's advantages over waxing. Sugar paste remains warm (never hot), adheres only to dead skin cells, and removes hair in its natural growth direction. This results in less breakage, reduced pain, and permanent hair reduction compared to traditional waxing methods.

How does sugaring differ from waxing?

Reagan was amazing! She was warm and professional and made me feel like I was in a safe space. I got a full Brazilian and was thrilled with the results! Reagan knows what she is doing and made quick work of removing all the unwanted hair. It isn't painless- not going to lie- but it also wasn't unbearable. 10/10 recommend to everyone!! If you are going to get intimate hair removal- go to someone who specializes in it (Go to Sugaring by Reagan!!)

Moved here from Grand Rapids and needed a new place that offered a Brazilian sugaring service and figured I'd give this one a try. I was so surprised when I found it less painful than my pervious experiences. Lauren was very friendly and I booked again with her right after my first appointment. Would definitely recommend.

I saw Reagan and she was so professional, sweet, kind, and made me feel so comfortable! This was my first experience ever being "waxed" and I was so anxious and nervous going in, but instantly felt calm after meeting Reagan and her student. I will definitely continue seeing her! Great experience!
