Get answers to common questions about Half Legs.

A typical Half Legs sugaring appointment lasts about 20–35 minutes depending on hair density and client comfort. This includes consultation, gentle exfoliation, sugaring, and post-care. New clients or very dense hair might take slightly longer.

Do not shave before sugaring; hair should be about 1/4 inch (6 mm) for effective removal. Trimming very long hair slightly is okay, but avoid shaving or waxing for at least two weeks prior.

Yes. Sugaring removes hair from the root, which gradually weakens follicles. With consistent appointments several times a year, hair often grows back finer and sparser, reducing overall regrowth and maintenance needs.

Most clients find sugaring less painful than waxing because paste adheres to hair, not skin. Experienced technicians use technique to minimize discomfort. Numbing creams can be discussed for very sensitive clients during their first appointment.

Avoid hot baths, saunas, and heavy exercise for 24 hours. Keep the area clean and moisturized with gentle, non-comedogenic lotion. Exfoliate lightly after 48–72 hours to prevent ingrown hairs and follow therapist's product recommendations.

Sugaring is generally safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but comfort and sensitivity vary. We recommend consulting your obstetrician and informing the therapist; positions and techniques can be adjusted to ensure safety and maximum comfort.
