Bronzed Sugar

So I don’t usually give 5 stars but I really love this place. The receptionist is sweet and I absolutely love Stacy. I’ll admit it was painful but that’s just how it is. I’ve already made my 4 week maintence appointment.

These ladies are a godsend! Theyre absolutely amazing! Stacy & Dawn are so great at what they do and make you feel fabulous after a brazilian sugaring sesh! After 3 trys… now a monthly member. Great experience, sending many more referrals your way… I have nothing but good things to say about this business!

I gotta say: brown sugar hurts a tad bit more than regular wax, but it does not burn or affect your skin because the ingredients are all natural. So, if you have sensitive skin like me, where getting rashes could be routine, I do recommend brown sugar. It does hurt though, and yes, a bit more than waxing. But I was amazing how my skin was smoother and just not red at all, per usual. I recommend taking some pain killer 30 mins before your appointment. You’ll thank me, and it’s definitely worth it. 4 stars since the pain is decent; but, this is coming from someone who’s been waxing for over 6 yrs.

I had been getting sugared for nearly a year at a different establishment and found that it was nearly painless and loved the results but I needed to find a new location.
The parking is terrible, if you’re lucky enough you’ll find a spot close in the streets.
I came in for a full Brazilian.
I decided to give this location a shot and I came out extremely disappointed. It was extremely painful, keep in mind I had been sugaring for a year before I came here so I knew I could tolerate the discomfort. But like I said, I was just too painful, it could have been that the sugar wasn’t warm enough and it was a bit hard – idk. My «sugar mama» Stacy went way too fast and never bothered to ask if I was comfortable or ok. She just wanted to get it done. Since then, I never returned to this place. If you want a someone to do great and wonderful job, then you’ll pay the extra bucks but this place IS NOT WORTH IT.

My friend and I came here to get sugared for the first time. We arrived a few minutes late to our appointment, but they saw us right away. I love the complimentary refreshment! Nice touch ladies. I was really nervous, not really sure what to expect. My sugar mama Megan was great! I had a great first experience and will definitely be back!

I feel so bad that some people didn’t enjoy their experience. This was my first experience sugaring and will definitely be doing it again. I think the extra pain people talked about is because with sugaring, it’s not one or two clean pulls-​especially if you’re «fuzzy» like me. My sugar mama, Brittany, had to do multiple to get all the hair but after the first few I got used to it. I also appreciated that the redness afterwards was way lighter than it is when I get waxed and it went away quicker. More expensive than getting waxed but I didn’t feel like I had gunk on my face afterwards and felt comfortable with the staff, which I don’t at the places I’ve gotten waxed. The other salons I’ve been to people tell me, «You have so much hair!» Yeah, I know! That’s why I showed up! Brittany didn’t make me feel embarrassed at all. I will definitely be going back to Bronzed Sugar.

I had purchased a groupon for $ 25 and had never tried sugaring before! The salon is cute and clean and the free wine is a huge plus! I will say though… I have been waxed down there dozens of times and it never hurt as bad as this did! The gal who did mine was very sweet and talked to me to distract me the whole time! But she also never gave me a break from the hair pulling! I was also told it wouldn’t hurt after like waxing does! Well that was not the case and I was uncomfortable for 2 days after! Not a bad place but I will not be trying this technique again!

Not coming back.
They didn’t offer the complimentary wine service that they’re known for. Girl at the front was a bit mean. The girl who did my Brazilian was nice but didn’t give me any warning and just started to rip away. I’ve had sugaring done several times before, and this was the most painful experience. Another downside is there’s no parking lot and you have to park on the street. The street seems a bit busy so it’s dangerous.
Only plus is that they’re super affordable if you buy through groupon. I think I paid $ 25 which is the cheapest I’ve seen Brazilian sugaring… However price isn’t worth the service. I’d rather pay more next time.

I went here for over a year for Brazilians and the occasional eyebrow and it is really hit or miss. The «Sugar Mamas» are overall very nice however one time I was forced to wait 30 minutes passed my appointment time because my sugar mama went over in the appointment prior to mine. I eventually asked another employee if they could take me instead. The girls who work at the front desk are also very hit or miss some are very friendly and others should not be working in customer service. They are the first and last impression for customers and one receptionist was the last straw in me deciding not to come back.
Really disappointed but not worth spending the extra $$$ for hit or miss service.

YASSS!!! Best Brazilian I’ve gotten so far!
Tried hard wax Elsewhere…(8 sessions, 4 wks apart)
. I thought that was the best option… Had to take 600−800mg ibuprofen couple hours before, just to get hard waxed…
At Bronzed Sugar, Megan Scheduled me with Sugar Mama Brittany —
Both ladies were very sweet and communicative.
Knowledgable, kind, funny!
FASTEST Brazilian ever! Not as painful, since I neglected to take any ibuprofen before my appointment.
I survived! Brittany was awesome!
The process was incredible!
Complementary glass of wine upon entry
I was in and out in less than 20 minutes.
If 10 stars were only possible!!!

First time getting ANY kind of professional hair removal and admittedly, I was pretty nervous. Brittany was wonderfully patient and the results are fantastic. In my experience, applying the sugar hurt more than the removal, and the pain overall was minimal. Already booked my maintenance appt in 4 weeks. Recommending to all my friends.

Great place to get sugared!!! They are very professional and they offer water and such upon entering! Not only that but the ladies make you feel very comfortable and welcomed! I drive all the way from Whittier just to go here for my appointments every four weeks! Worth the drive!

Fantastic place! This was my first time getting sugared, as I have only done self-​wax kits before. I got my armpits done, which I was told is the most sensitive area, but it didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would! I had Stacy, who spoke with me the entire time and made me feel super comfortable. I *almost* had a bikini wax done, but that was too painful for me (so sorry!!!) but I WILL go here when I build up a better pain tolerance!
The entire store was clean and I was served promptly. There was street parking pretty much in front of the store when I went in the late morning.
It’s been just over 2 weeks since I’ve gone and the hair is starting to grown back, so I’ll definitely be back in the next 2 weeks for another removal!

Amazing service! Inmade an appointment last minute and the ladies were so accommodating. The salon itself was clean, polished, and well kept. It just made you feel welcome. Loved how they had wine, tea and water available in the seating area. I had Brittany for my waxing appointment. She explained the enture sugaring process and made sure I was at ease. Best part was, I was done in 10 minutes. Lovely salon with amazing staff and customer service. I will definitely be coming back and I sooo recommend this place!

It was my first time getting sugared, my sugar mama Megan, explained the whole process and made me feel at ease. I was done in about 15 mins. It’s $ 65 for your first time and then $ 45 after, but you must book an appointment within 4 weeks.
*There’s currently a groupon deal for $ 25. If you refer your friends, they get $ 15 off any service. Also check in for 10% off*

I really wanted to give this place a higher rating but I think it was my worst sugaring experience by far. The look of the salon is very pleasant, I was offered a drink as I was waiting, definitely the typical salon experience. I would give them a 5 star if it was just for looks.
But sugaring… just… I don’t know, I’m at a loss for words. It was SO painful, and I’ve had tons of sugaring sessions done before, so I can tolerate the pain. My «sugar mama» was Jennifer. She was really nice and through out the process asked me if we needed to stop because of the pain, but I just wanted it to be over and get out of there so I didn’t stop her.
I’ve been to both Bronzed Sugar locations, and I had a similar experience at both, so I think it’s just something with their sugar. At both locations, the sugar was cool, not warm at all. This caused a lot of discomfort as they applied the sugar because it really pulled on the hair. And the following days after my skin felt as if it were bruised.

So I had Liliana. She was amazing! I’m not sweating or shaking! I’ve had brazillian ‘waxes’ previously and literally, both times, I was shaking and sweating. My body was going into shock, it was that painful. I am a natural red sooooo, thick hair + sensitive skin = paaiiinnnnn!!! And the last time I was waxed, the esthetician literally told me I was over reacting. I have had 3 kids, 2 naturally.
That being said, I am definitely HOoKEd on Sugaring! So glad my cousin recommended it! Way less pain, it goes with the hair growth so it’s easier on my skin, and less chemicals! Win win win! Love love love! I also met a couple of the other girls who work there and they are all lovely. If you can go to this place (there’s also one off of Carson that’s the one I went to) GO! You’ll be happy you did.

My very first time sugaring was done here, keep in mind sugaring is painful if you haven’t experienced any sort of waxing! Yes, your hair is being ripped out from it’s roots with the sugar wax. different from your other typical hair removal alternatives where they might apply heat or numbing cream. I went in for 2 sessions and the first time I was cringing, sweating, and was in PAIN after every strip. Thankfully though, their estheticians work very fast on you so I was out of there in 10 mins, and the wine provided helps out a little.
I’m giving 2 stars because I did feel like they were in a rush and mostly because it is expensive. One session with my groupon deal came out to be $ 40, which is steep if you are looking into maintaining this monthly! Also, I feel like they could improve their customer loyalty, when trying to reschedule an appointment, the receptionist claimed that I was out of my window for maintenance so prices cost even more?! Wow, not coming back anymore.

«Pour some sugah on meeh…»
A little sugar down there won’t hurt nobody. Well that’s unless you’re a newbie to Brazilian. I’m an O.G., so Brazilian is nothing to me. However, I was a little nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. My «sugar mama», Megan, assured me that it will be a breeze for me since I wax routinely. She showed me the «sugar», and literally it is just a glob of paste made of sugar, water, and lemon juice. So what Megan did was sprinkle baby powder on me so that the paste would only adhere to the hair as opposed to sticking and pulling the skin. Then she put a glob of the paste on her fingers (size of a golf ball), rubbed it on me, and voila «hair was gone». She was done less than 15 minutes (but of course the time varies depending on how much hair a person has).
Unlike waxing where they have to keep going to the wax and applying it on your skin, she used the same sugar she began with during the whole time. Think of it as a lint brush. You just go over the area continuously with the same lint sheet. If you no longer can remove the lint because the sheet is covered with lint, then you roll a new sheet. Pretty much this is what the process is like with sugaring. Megan explained to me that the only time she has to get more paste is when she can no longer lift the hair because of there being too much of the removed hair in the ball of paste.
No wax strip or popsicle sticks. Just the glob of sugar paste on the sugar mama’s finger. Rub/​spread and lift.
I can’t tell you if sugaring is less painful than waxing, because neither one of them hurts me because I have been doing it for years. But what I do like better about sugaring is that I don’t have to worry about it being hot or having remnants of wax, then finding it difficult to remove at home. Most importantly, it’s 100% natural.
I think I like sugaring better than wax. I even made my 4 week «maintenance» appointment. When you pre-​book, it is $ 45 as opposed to $ 60.
I didn’t have any difficulties with parking because I went on a weekday, early morning. So I was able to find street parking. But parking can be an issue, so give yourself enough time to find parking.
OH, I CAN’T FORGET ABOUT MY Unilocal FELLAS, they also do «Brozilian». Yeah you read it correctly, «Bro-​zilian» sugaring for the men. Try it so you can see what us ladies go through lol.

Ever since buying the $ 25 Groupon, I’ve been hooked, and come back monthly for my $ 45 maintenance.
Pros:
It’s SUPER close to where I live.
The staff is VERY friendly.
They offer you water or wine while you wait (even though there’s rarely much of a wait to begin with). By the way, I recommend the wine, it’ll help calm you if anything.
Everything looks pretty clean and sanitary (which is important!)
My «sugar mama» Heather is the BEST. So sweet, talks to you during the whole process so you’re a little more at ease, and gets the job done pretty quickly and almost painlessly.
Scheduling an appointment is a breeze, and they text you the week before your appointment so you won’t forget (which I probably would).
I think the only «con» I would mention here is street parking. But that’s this part of Long Beach, so deal with it. Besides, it’s usually not even that bad. I usually find parking within 2 – 5 minutes of getting there.
If you’ve ever wondered about this whole «sugaring» thing, definitely try them out.
