Discover the Difference
Sugaring Paste vs. Wax Techniques
Welcome, sugar! 💚 If you're new to natural hair removal or exploring healthier options, you've probably heard about sugaring — but did you know there are two techniques? I craft both by hand using time-honored recipes and pure ingredients from my own gardens here in Tennessee.
Firm Sugaring Paste

Perfect for experienced hands
Works on stubborn, coarse hair
No strips needed - hand technique
Longer-lasting results
Soft Sugaring Wax
Ideal for Finer Hair
Perfect for beginners
Great for fine to medium hair
Traditional waxing with strips
Gentle on sensitive areas

Not sure which is right for your skin or hair type? Both are gentle, botanical, and made with love — but they work a little differently. 🌿
Wait — what about salon waxing?
Traditional Salon Waxing
Since the '80s glam era, y'all!
Synthetic resins and chemicals
Intense heat that can burn
Painful ripping against hair growth
Strip-and-scream routine
Natural Sugaring
The gentle rebel of hair removal!
