How to Start Sugaring: What Do You Need for Your Work
Sugaring is a suitable option for people with sensitive skin who are faced with all the disadvantages of waxing and other methods of removing unwanted hair. Sugaring is a complex cosmetic procedure that can be performed on any part of the body. Most clients prefer to go to salons, wanting to get a guarantee of a quality procedure. If your salon does not have a sugaring specialist, it is worth considering body sugaring training for your staff. Providing such services will bring significant profit to your business.
The Main Stages of Body Sugaring Training
To become a master, you need to take special courses to obtain a license. In almost every city, beauty salons conduct special courses where masters teach how to start sugaring. They study the theoretical part, as well as work out the practice on models. Upon completion of training, you will get a license confirming the acquired knowledge and skills. So the first step is to sign up for the course. Alternatively, you can consider online courses. Usually, training can be completed in 1 day.
Be sure to find out if in your state sugaring certification is required or not, as laws vary from location to location. If yes, you should join the National Coalition of Cosmetics, Manufacturers/Distributors, and Associations (NCEA).
Even if a license is not required, in any case, it is necessary to attend courses to gain sufficient knowledge and experience. You can’t just take sugar paste and start providing services. Your reputation depends on it.
The cost of courses is usually in the range of 500-1000 dollars. Online courses are slightly cheaper. But when you take the course in the beauty salon, you immediately get important practical experience. If you still choose online courses, you will have to practice with yourself or friends.
In the body sugaring training, you will learn
- Theoretical information about hair removal.
- Consulting clients about the process, skin preparation for sugaring, and skin care after the procedure.
- Ways to prepare a sugar paste (of course, it is better and faster to buy ready-made sugaring paste but you still need to know the theory).
- How to make sugaring less painful and how to do it in different parts of the body.
- Practicing sugaring techniques on a model.
How to Choose the Right Staff for Sugaring
After you have received the sugaring master certificate and practiced on models, you should organize a comfortable workplace and choose the right staff for it.
Furniture for Sugaring
When organizing the workspace, be sure to take care of good lighting and select the necessary furniture:
- Couch. You can buy a regular folding massage table. Its height should match your height. If you bend over all day, you will quickly get back pain. The client should also feel good so that the arms and legs are placed comfortably.
- Rack. All necessary materials should be at hand. A mobile metal trolley on wheels is the best choice. It is convenient to carry out procedures.
What tools Do You Need for Sugaring
For the procedure, you will need disposable sheets, napkins, and gloves. Also, don't forget:
- Bandage strips are used in the bandage technique. They are made from different materials such as polymer, paper, and fabric.
- Wooden sticks. This is one of the tools for applying the paste. With the bandage technique, they are necessary to evenly apply the paste, and then tear it off along with the hairs.
- Paste heater. A device that will help warm up the paste and keep it at the right temperature. Suitable for both beauty salons and home use. The kit comes with an aluminum container for warming up the product.
Sugar Paste and Other Cosmetics
There are several types of pastes but consistency is the main parameter that you need to pay attention to. The choice depends on which hairs it can capture and in which areas. In the Sugaring Factory assortment, you can find a large selection of sugar pastes made exclusively from natural ingredients.
- The soft paste is suitable for working in cool rooms if the master has cold hands. This paste heats up quickly and is more commonly used in bandage techniques. Suitable for removing fluffy fine hairs, including on the face.
- The medium paste is universal and suitable for any area of the skin. It is used in the manual technique.
- The hard paste is good to remove coarse hair. It is used in manual technique and most often works out the deep bikini area.
In addition to the paste, you should choose professional cosmetics to prepare the skin for the procedure and skin care after. In your arsenal, you should definitely have talc for the skin, anesthetic creams, antiseptics, body scrubs, and products to slow down hair growth.
Also, You Must Know About Sugaring
When advising your clients about the sugaring procedure, be sure to consider important details:
- Prepare and exfoliate the skin at least 2 days before the procedure.
- No need to moisturize the skin before the session.
- Between procedures, 4-6 weeks should pass so that the hair has time to grow back a little.
- Within 24 hours after the procedure, you should not visit baths or saunas. You should avoid direct sunlight and solarium. Don’t use flavored lotions and creams.
- Wear comfortable clothes and underwear made from natural fabrics to avoid irritation.
Take the training course as seriously as possible. Pay enough attention to practice. Pick up the appropriate equipment and furniture for the workplace. Choose high-quality paste and other professional cosmetics. This will allow you to become a real master of sugaring!
