Sugar Sugar Wax founder, Salome Sallehy, said, “It all started in Australia while I was traveling with my family and met my Sugar Guru who would ultimately change my life. This woman showed me that one doesn’t have to suffer through painful waxing, and that there was a safe, natural, and gentle way to get rid of unwanted hair-sugaring! During my travels, I learned sugaring is as much of an art, as it is a science, and I not only became empowered by it but determined to pay it forward.”
