What is Sugaring?
Uncle Nat’s uses a loose-paste, strip-free, hand sugaring method just like they have in North African and Persian countries since 1900 BC; where they used a mixture of lemon, sugar and water to remove hair from each other’s bodies in community settings. Sugaring is gentle enough for the thinnest most sensitive skin… strong enough for the thickest, most stubborn hairs.
How It Works
Sugar paste is water soluble and can be cleaned up with a simple hot towel adhering only to dead and dry skin cells for a more gentle exfoliation and less pain. It cannot burn the skin and is applied against the hair growth and removed in its natural direction reducing breakage. Book pre-care for more of all of the above.

Try Sugaring if you...
Want an all-natural hair removal service.
Uncle Nat's sugar paste is made with 100% natural, certified organic fair trade & biodegradable ingredients.
Want to remove short hairs
Sugaring can remove hair that is at least 1/8 inch, or about as long as a grain of rice.
Get painful irritations or burns from waxing.
Sugar will not stick to live skin cell, only so there is no risk or abrasion or tearing. Additionally sugar paste is not hot when it is applied, so there is no risk of burning the skin.
Like to change up your look!
Sugaring consistently overtime may refine your hair thickness, but is not permanent mode of hair removal. Whether you're on the hunt for your signature style or want to have the option of growing out hair in your serviced area, sugaring offers plenty of room to play. If you're looking for a more permanent hair-removal mode, check out our laser page.

Add Pre-Care to insure Uncle Nat's quality results.
Adding post care and extractions to a hair curation service will upgrade your treatment to a facial for that area.
Plan your time. Mark your appointment on your calendar.
In order to meet our mission we have to be strict with our cancellation and lateness policies. We strongly encourage our clients to block out an extra 30-60 minutes longer than the scheduled appointment to account for any extra care time we need to take with you or a client ahead of you. Parking in this neighborhood can be tricky, which is why we offer reduced and validated parking for Uncle Nat’s clients only at a conveniently located garage.
Don't Not Shave or Exfoliate!
Maintain hair at least 1/8th of an inch (about the size of a grain of rice, or approximately 2 weeks growth after a shave) so the sugar can grip on to it. We advise you to avoid exfoliation up to 24 hours before your visit.
Clean and dry your skin. No lotions or oils on treatment areas
Come to your appointment with clean dry skin- no lotions or oils on the treatment areas. Arrive with no makeup or book a makeup removal pre-care.

Kick off shoes & wash hands
Kick off your shoes and coat in our hallway upon arrival and enter our waiting space with your socks or our provided house slippers. Wash your hands in the bathroom immediately to your left upon entering and come on in. Feel free to try out the products on our tester wall while you wait. Arrive early for use of our plant tincture/ beverage service, or to simply relax and take in the vibes before your appointment.
Keep that skin moisturized!
Moisturizing is more important than exfoliation. The right balance will lead to softer, more manageable regrowth. We offer customizable home care systems that can be used for face, pits and bits!
Avoid exfoliation for 3-5 days
Avoid exfoliation for 3-5 days after sugaring to mitigate skin-barrier disruption. Be aware that after your service your skin will be more photosensitive and susceptible to irritation. Most clients see no negative after-affects, but some do experience histamine reactions the day after removing hair, and some see redness about a week after sugaring when the hair is starting to regenerate.
Be in touch
If you have a reaction at all, or see results that are outside of what we set you up to expect, please let us know ASAP. The best way to reach us is to reply to the initial text confirmation, you received before your appointment. The cost of your booked services includes access to our professionals in between appointments. Your messages go straight to your profile and can only be seen by your technicians. We encourage you to send photos of the affected area immediately so we can best assess your skin and adjust your treatment plan.
Rebook your service every 3-6 weeks to effectively refine your hair. Pulling hair regularly will reduce pain over time and traumatize those follicles, reducing their growth strength.
