Sugaring in Astoria, NY: Wax Me's Sugaring Menu, Prices and How It Differs From Wax
What sugaring is, how it feels compared with wax, and the seven sugaring services on Wax Me's menu in Astoria, with prices and times.
Sugaring is the older cousin of waxing: hair is removed from the root with a paste made from sugar, lemon and water instead of resin-based wax. Wax Me Waxing Studio and Spa in Astoria offers both, so you can choose the method that suits your skin. This guide covers what sugaring is, how it compares with wax, and what it costs on Wax Me's menu.
The sugaring menu
| Service | Price | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Women Sugaring Brazilian | $70 | 25 min |
| Women Sugaring Underarm | $20 | 15 min |
| Women Sugaring Lower Legs | $45 | 25 min |
| Women Sugaring Upper Legs | $50 | 25 min |
| Women Sugaring Full Legs | $90 | 50 min |
| Women Sugaring Lower Arms | $40 | 25 min |
| Women Sugaring Full Arms | $50 | 30 min |
How sugaring differs from waxing
| Sugaring | Hard wax | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is made of | Sugar, lemon juice and water | Resins and waxes |
| Temperature | Applied around body temperature | Applied warm |
| Direction of removal | With the direction of hair growth | Against the direction of growth |
| Sticks to | Hair, not live skin | Mostly hair |
| Clean-up | Rinses off with water | Peels off |
The practical differences:
Sugaring or wax at Wax Me
The prices are close, so choose by skin rather than cost:
| Area | Sugaring | Wax |
|---|---|---|
| Brazilian | $70 | $70 |
| Underarms | $20 | $25 |
| Lower legs | $45 | $45 |
| Full legs | $90 | $95 |
| Full arms | $50 | $40 |
Underarm sugaring at $20 is the one area where sugaring is cheaper than wax ($25), and underarms are one of the areas where sugaring makes most sense: the skin there is thin, folds constantly and reacts easily to razors.
Sugaring appointments are booked a little longer than the equivalent wax (for example 25 min for a sugaring Brazilian against 15 min for wax), because the paste is worked over each area by hand.
Aftercare
The same rules apply as for wax: loose clothing for the rest of the day, no hot baths, saunas, gym sessions or tanning for 24 to 48 hours, and gentle exfoliation from day three. Wax Me's own guides cover underarm sugaring aftercare and sugaring a Brazilian if you get ingrowns.
