The beauty of fashion is that it keeps on changing. What is fashionable today becomes outdated tomorrow. This ever-changing trend is what makes a style irresistible. When you talk of fashion, you cannot ignore nail manicures. Just as the nails are the windows of your health, they also say a lot about your fashion sense. Thus, it makes sense to move along with the trend rather than swim against the tide.

Today, it is the trend of using dipping powder on nails. Before going into the details of a dip powder job, let us check out whether the process is healthy.

Are dip powder manicures acrylic?

In a way, all nail manicures are acrylic. In the case of gel polish, it is a fusion of a liquid and powder to create a gel-like substance. This gel is applied to the nails and left to cure for a few minutes under a UV lamp. The dip powder procedure seems revolutionary because it does not require any curing. The process starts with the application of a bonding agent followed by dipping the nails into colored powder. The topcoat application seals off the nail manicure.

Thus, we can refer to dip powder as ‘diet acrylic’ because it is an in-between version between having artificial nails and a painted manicure.

Are dip powders dangerous to use?

This question is a relevant one because one needs to know the ingredients present in dip powder. The standard versions of dip powder contain methyl methacrylate or MMD, as it is popularly known. MMD is a toxic ingredient and banned in New York and 30 other states in the US. Hence, one should read the ingredient list in a dip starter kit carefully before purchasing it. One should also confirm with the salon whether they use dip powders containing MMD. A give away sign is when the nail manicurist wears a mask before applying the bonding agent.

Secondly, it is commonly thought that dip powders contain Krazy Glue, an ingredient used in the Vietnam War to patch up injured soldiers’ wounds. The nail polish bonding agent contains cyanoacrylate, also found in Krazy Glue, but it is not the same. (more…)

Hair removal is a popular practice of grooming for many people in our culture and comes in many forms for both men and women. However, along with popularity for this exercise comes many misconceptions about hair removal and myths surrounding waxing, sugaring, shaving, depilatories and laser treatments.

We will help dispel some of the top misconceptions about hair removal for you:

• The heat in wax will kill bacteria on wax sticks: Although this is a commonly held belief, don’t believe it and if a practitioner attempts this in a waxing session with you, make for the exit as quickly as you can. For example, the wart virus cannot be killed by hot wax alone… nuff said?
• Good waxing procedures prevent hair re-growth: Hair regrowth has more to do with your own hair than it does with the procedure used. Individuals with fast hair growth will need to come in for treatments more often than those whose hair grows back in slower.
• Shaving against the grain gives you a closer shave: NOT! This is more likely to cause ingrown hairs and razor burn. If you choose to shave, do so with the grain, a good razor and the understanding that re-growth usually is faster and results in coarser, blunt hair shafts.
• Firmer pressure results in a closer shave: Firmer pressure results in more nicks and cuts. If you feel the need to press harder, likely you are using a dull blade.
• If you have thicker hair, leave depilatories on longer: If you leave these products on longer than the recommended time, you risk causing inflammation, an itchy rash, and potentially burning your skin. Use of depilatories on your face should be cleared with your doctor due to some of these products causing an adverse, sensitive reaction if you use retinol in other skin care products.
• Laser removes hair permanently: Although laser hair removal is perhaps one of the longer term hair removal methods, due to its effect on the hair follicles, they will recover eventually and hair production is resumed. Follicles that are in the dormant phase will not be affected, which results in the need for touch up sessions after your initial sessions are over. This is the most expensive of all hair removal methods, and this should be taken into consideration before starting the multiple (normally 6 necessary) sessions for success.
• Sugaring leaves your skin sticky after your session: Professional sugaring sessions are much easier for skin clean up than wax due to the sugaring paste being water soluble.
• Sugaring can damage live skin cells: The sugar paste cannot adhere to live skin cells, and will not cause damage as a result.

It is easy to see why those of us at Sugar Me are passionate about sugaring for hair removal. It is gentle, affordable and causes less issues than other methods. Call us today for an appointment or even a consultation to address any concerns and questions you may have and dispel misconceptions about hair removal.

Now that we’re deep into springtime, prepping your beach bod is a priority. With all of the beautiful weather we’ve been having, it’s especially important to get into the workout regimen, tanning routine, and hair removal treatments you’ll need to feel fantastic in your bikini this summer. You won’t have the hassle of shaving, so that you can make a spontaneous visit to the lake, pool or beach without worry.

With beautiful summer weather on the horizon, the last thing you want to worry about is keeping up with shaving your legs. Sugaring treatments can take care of this unwanted fuzz for you, leaving you with sexy, smooth legs to show off with summery skirts, dresses, and of course, swimsuits!

The classic bikini is a must if your swimsuit was made any time in the last century. The hems of today’s swimsuit bottoms cut it pretty close, and you don’t want to risk any embarrassing exposed hairs! By getting your bikini line sugared — instead of shaving the unwanted hair away — you also get to skip the annoying dark stubble hairs. Enjoy smooth, hair-free skin to sunbathe or play without worrying about mishaps from your nether regions.

For more full-service hair removal, the Brazilian method of sugaring away all hair ‘down there’ will do the trick. Since it involves hair removal in more sensitive areas, a Brazilian sugaring treatment is slightly more painful than hair removal in your bikini areas. However, it’s still less painful than waxing! Reduce the frequency of your hair removal visits with our Brazilian maintenance service, which is also budget-friendly.

Sugar Me’s natural hair removal studio is the place to help you get hairless as part of your summerizing efforts to prep your beach bod. Click here to check out all of our sugaring services for women, and contact Valerie to book your appointment.
