Getting hairless is a must for every girl who wants to feel confident, especially when planning a beach trip. It had been a “long time no SEA” for me — almost a year! So, I decided to visit Whipped: Sugar Wax and Body Scrub Salon to get rid of unwanted hair. The salon’s interior and exterior are both charming and dainty.
Sugar waxing is a natural hair removal method that uses sugar, lemon juice, and water. Unlike traditional waxing, it requires no heat or strips, making it gentler on the skin. The sugar mixture only adheres to the hair, not the skin, reducing the risk of irritation.
In the past, I would often remove my underarm hair myself using a wax that required heating. However, the attendant informed me that this method can darken the underarms due to the heat.
Back to sugar waxing — the process was quite similar to regular waxing. The attendant first cleaned my underarm area, then applied a small amount of sugar wax, pressed it onto the hair, and pulled it off. Some hair remained, so she used tweezers for the finishing touch. Afterward, she applied moisturizer and advised me to let it dry for at least four hours.
Next up was eyebrow waxing. To be honest, this was my first time trying it since I usually opt for threading. I had let my brows grow for two months in hopes of achieving those iconic Khaleesi brows. Unfortunately, my natural brow shape is arched, unlike Khaleesi’s straight brows. Despite this, the attendant tried to create a straighter look.
The Khaleesi brows are not totally applicable to me as my brows grow with arch whereas Khaleesi’s brows are straight. Nevertheless, the attendant still tried to make it straight. I think that threading is more painful than waxing. However, I think that waxing brows used more tweezers after waxing because it’s difficult to shape the brows by using wax.
