Charlotte Sugaring

Charlotte Sugaring is hands down the best waxing experience I have ever had. I used to go to a place that primarily did hard/​soft wax and I would end up with excruciating ingrown hairs every single time. When I’d go back they really didn’t do anything to help with that other than tell me to «keep exfoliating — it’ll get better». (And it didn’t). I thought it was too late to fix things when I heard about sugaring, but decided to give it a try. I found Kristen on Unilocal and will never go back to anyone but her. She truly does care about the people she sees. I no longer have painful ingrown hairs and she has given me products that have helped me tremendously while educating me about waxing/​sugaring. She is professional, but at the same time very easy to talk to so you feel completely comfortable while you’re there. I would highly recommend Kristen and I am so happy I found her!

I’ve been seeing Kristen for sugar waxing for several months now and she is absolutely amazing! If you’re at all unsure if sugar waxing is for you Kristen will teach you all about the process and it’s pros/​cons. I have super sensitive skin and shaving is not an option for me so having Kristen to rely on has been a life-​changer. She makes me feel so relaxed and is so fun to talk to! Can’t wait for our next appointment!

I was lucky enough to have found Kristen as soon as she moved to Charlotte. She is kind and professional. I am thrilled to find Kristen. The first fully trained sugar professional in Charlotte. For those wondering. sugaring last longer than waxing.

I have had many waxing experiences, but nothing compares to sugaring! Not only is Kristen knowledgeable, but she cares. She takes the time to make sure her clients are comfortable and understands the pros of sugaring (in my opinion, there aren’t any cons!). I will be returning for maintenance and an exciting facial! Thank you, Kristen for making my first experience an enjoyable one.

Kristen is the BEST. She is fun, professional and knowledgeable. I am super happy to be getting sugared now and my skin loves it. There is no irritation or down time. The best hair removal ever. My family books skin care services and the results are phenomenal. Teenage skin is tricky but Kristen works magic. I will be booking this next and a spray tan. It will be my first spray tan. I highly recommend Kristen and her services!

Kristen is awesome !!! The most amazing experience
is so much better than waxing the hair comes back softer and slower no irritation whatsoever!

If you are looking for the best, most comfortable Brazilian… Look no further! After being waxed for years I decided to try sugaring when I moved to the Charlotte area and can vow that I will never go back to waxing again! Not only is it much quicker and MUCH less painful but it is less irritating and longer lasting. Kristen is phenomenal! Her welcoming personality puts you at ease from the second you arrive. She is passionate about what she does and her knowledge and work are a testament to that. She is now my go to girl for brazilians, eyebrow shaping and the best facial around! If you are still reading this you are wasting precious time that you could be booking an appt!!!

Kristin is great! I stumbled upon her website after moving here from Denver and not seeing anywhere that instilled confidence about shaping my eyebrows (which I am very particular about). I like that you can make an appointment online, and while the location seems strange (inside a dentists office), it’s very calming with soft light and music. My first brow sugaring was a 40 minute appointment because Kristin wanted them to be perfect. I thought I had a great shape before and she made it better and did a very throughout job. I’ll be back to see her again and maybe try one of her facials!

Kristen is awesome! She did my make up for my engagement pictures this past friday. It was perfect! I have super sensitive skin and she did an amazing job on my face. I am not a makeup person because of my sensitivities, but she made me feel comfortable and beautiful! Thank you Kristen for making my day!

After many disappointing attempts of having my brows threaded and waxed at other salons, I was excited to come across a place that offered an experienced esthetician. Kristen did a phenomenal job creating shape to my eyebrows that fit my face. Her patience and eye for detail provided me with a wonderful experience. I will definitely be back!

Kristen did an amazing job! This was my first brazilian ever and she made me feel so comfortable and well taken care of that I will definitely be coming to her everytime. The moment you meet her you just know you’re in good hands. She also recommended some products that I look forward to testing out!

Frankly, I don’t see why anyone would not choose sugaring over waxing (look it up, it has all the pros and none of the cons of wax!), and if you’re going to get sugaring, I don’t see why anyone would not go to Kristen. She is the absolute best!

A few things to know about me that are important as you read this review:
1. I highly value cleanliness at any salon, spa or nail place that I visit.
2. I have waxed before
3. I am Hispanic and therefore have thick hair.
4. I value a comfortable and welcoming environment.
With that being said, I gave Kristen of Charlotte Sugaring a 5 star rating because that girl deserves EVERY single star. I wish I could give her more. I received a full leg sugaring and am going back for a Brazilian .
I booked my appointment online, which is convenient for those that are busy. However, I had follow up questions so I called. She was friendly, polite, professional and answered all of my questions in detail (even though some questions were pretty dumb since the majority of the information is on her website :))
Her establishment is clean and sugaring is EXTREMELY hygienic. She always wears a new glove if she’s going to dip her hand back in the get the sugar so there is no double dipping like there are at some waxing salons.
My previous waxing experience was extremely painful. The wax was too hot and my skin did not tolerate it well. Pulling hair out from the root will always come with some type of pain but sugaring was significantly LESS painful than waxing. Though my hair is thick, the sugar was able to remove it. Plus, Kristen is so meticulous that she even tweezed some stray hairs.
Overall, Kristen is talented and great at what she does. You can tell she takes great pride in her work and I respect that so much. Who would want to go to an esthetician that hated her job? NOT me. She is friendly, kind and makes you feel extremely comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend you pay her a visit.

Kristen has a very comforting and beautiful space and personality, which is important for me to be willing to drop my panties:)
Not to mention the procedure is unique and less painful then the typical wax. Its not as hot and its all natural and less painful, and less painful!
Never thought this could be so pampering!

5 stars is not enough for Kristen. She is the kind of esthetician you want to take with you everywhere if you move! I did my eyebrows for the first time with her (sugaring) and I tried everything but that. She is meticulous and my eyebrows look awesome and she has so many suggestions and good ideas!
Then I tried her for Brazilian sugaring. Seriously I know my stuff and I tried everything ditch the wax and if you have an awesome lady around you that does sugaring. Hint hint (like Kristen) then just go there you won’t be disappointed. She does facials and make up too. So easy going and clean! One of those people that you get comfortable around immediately. If you are searching for someone please stop readying and book your appointment she is worth it :)

I absolutely love coming to Kristen for sugaring! After a pretty painful Brazilian wax at another place quite some time ago, a friend of mine told me about sugaring and how it’s supposed to be less painful than regular waxing. She had been to Kristen, and said she loved the results and how sweet Kristen is. I was nervous, since I don’t have a high pain threshold, but I thought I would try it out.
From the start, Kristen did everything she could to talk me through it and make me as comfortable as possible. I’ll admit the sugaring definitely wasn’t painless, and my skin was pretty sensitive since it had been a while since I had something like this done, but the results were wonderful! The paste she uses is also room temperature and not hot like wax, so no burning! When my hair began coming back, it was much more fine and barely visible than it had ever been. My second trip, for a Brazilian maintenance, was definitely less painful than the first visit. It’s been about a week since my second visit, and I can definitely tell the results are starting to last longer. I will never go to a different esthetician!
Also, on my second visit Kristen asked how I had been and we had a conversation about how stressed I have been lately and all the things I had going on. At the end of my sugaring appointment, she gave me a complimentary mini-​scalp massage along with a bit of aromatherapy with the best smelling essential oils ever. Just that small kindness helped me to relax so much, and that showed me that she is genuinely a thoughtful and caring person in addition to being fantastic at what she does.
Go see Kristen. you won’t regret it!

Wow… Kristen did such a great job… I will be back… Sugering is the way to go.
Thank you Kristen !!!

I went here for sugaring, down there (Brazillian) and that too for the first time. And I definitely made the right choice. Kristen did an amazing job, and not even for a second did I feel uncomfortable. She was thorough and professional, and I would say definitely one of the few and the best in charlotte.
— Spa had a relaxing nice ambience,
— she sugared amazingly well, even though it was my first time, I didnt feel like hell, as was expected from first timers.
— She kept me engaged in conversation which eased out the process. She is a great conversationalist, which helped, since i dont like going to people with cold attitude, after all its a sensitive process and I need to know whats happening, every moment.
–she is quite detail oriented, and very experienced
— The whole process was quite prompt, I didnt had to wait, and there was full privacy.
–She explained the process quite well in advance.
— I booked an appointment 3 days prior, and everything went smoothly.
I’d highly recommend this place to anyone, considering waxing/​sugaring in charlotte.

I read online about the benefits of sugaring over waxing so decided to give try it for my bikini area.
Kristen was very professional and friendly making you feel completely at ease throughout and distracting from any pain (which was less than I have experienced with waxing).
She was extremely knowledgable in explaining the procedure before hand and providing aftercare advice to get the most from the service. I experienced very little redness the following day and a week later my skin is still silky smooth.
I would recommend Kristen’s services to anyone!

KRISTEN IS AMAZING! I’ve struggled with a gross skin condition called chronic folliculitis for years; gone through countless doctors, medications, creams, wax/​hair removal specialists, etc and nobody has been able to offer even a glimmer of hope. But then I found charlotte sugaring :) I had my first treatment yesterday and I am already seeing a difference in redness, ingrowns, bumps, EVERYTHING. I will never go back to the larger, more commercialized wax centers ever again.
Aside from offering a wonderful service, Kristen herself is a great person all around. She is kind and she actually listens to you, you are not just another number she is trying to get done and out the door.
Thanks Kristen!
P.S.
She also has a great loyalty program where your 6 th visit is free– but get this– she keeps your punch card on file so you don’t have to worry about forgetting or losing it and missing out on your freebie!
P.P.S.
Her studio is so calm and inviting there were multiple points where I wanted to check out of our conversation and just fall asleep: X
Such a good experience all around.

Kristen is a waxing goddess! I’ve always loved sugaring, and I’m so glad that Kristen is bringing sugaring to Charlotte. She distracts you with great conversation so you don’t anticipate any pain. Least painful wax I’ve ever had and such a beautiful job shaping my brows. Thank you, Kristen! Can’t wait for my next appointment.

I highly recommend dev face and body. I had been waxing for years and felt apprehensive about trying sugaring. Now I will never go back! Kristen was amazing. She has years if experience and it was obvious in her professionalism and technique. Sugaring was way less painful then waxing AND it took longer for my hair to grow back. With waxing I usually get ingrown hairs and I didn’t get any after sugaring. I’m hooked. I can’t wait to be able to try different services that dev offers.

I was apprehensive to try sugaring, but vey curious! I trusted Kristen after meeting her with paper dolls hair and makeup wedding (she is an amazing stylist) for my first sugaring experience — the under arms! Kristen says it’s probably the most painful place to sugar, so i’ll just dive right in to the deep. I’ve been waxing my under arms for a while anyway but the last couple times my hair just didn’t come out with the wax (I learned this can happen when you drink too much coffee before waxing, it constricts your vessels and i guess, leads to superman strong hair roots!).
I went in (2 days no coffee) and went out with baby smooth under arms. The wax is massaged in but surprisingly, that part is not painful. The ripping hair is ripping of hair (so it hurts). If this is the least painful, i can’t wait to try my legs. I definitely recommend sugar waxing with Kristen, especially if you have experienced your hair breaking or resisting regular wax.
