Why More Greenville Clients Are Choosing Sugaring Instead of Waxing

Jillian Crabtree • January 5, 2026

If you’re searching for waxing in Greenville and keep hearing about sugaring, you’re not alone. Sugaring has become increasingly popular, especially for Brazilian hair removal and sensitive skin, and for good reason.


I’m Jillian, the owner of Sugar Me in Greenville, SC. I’ve been sugaring for 15 years and opened my studio to offer a more natural, comfortable alternative to traditional waxing. If you’ve struggled with irritation, ingrown hairs, or painful experiences in the past, this may be exactly what your skin has been waiting for.


What is sugaring?


Sugaring is a method of hair removal using a simple paste made from sugar, water, and lemon. That’s it. No resins, no chemicals, and no artificial fragrance. Because the ingredients are so minimal, sugaring is safe for even the most sensitive skin.


Unlike waxing, sugaring removes hair in the natural direction of growth. This is a huge difference and one of the main reasons clients see less breakage, fewer ingrown hairs, and smoother results over time.


Sugaring vs waxing: what’s the difference?


Traditional waxing adheres to live skin cells and pulls hair against the direction it grows. This can lead to more discomfort, redness, and irritation, especially for Brazilian services.

Sugaring only sticks to dead skin cells and hair. Because it’s removed in the natural direction of growth, it’s gentler on the skin and helps reduce inflammation and post service sensitivity.

Many clients who thought hair removal just had to be painful are surprised by how much more comfortable sugaring feels.


Why sugaring is ideal for Brazilian hair removal.


Brazilian sugaring is one of my most requested services at Sugar Me. Clients love that it’s more tolerable, especially with regular maintenance. Over time, hair often grows back finer and slower, and the skin becomes healthier with consistent sugaring.

If you’ve experienced chronic ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or sensitivity from waxing or shaving, sugaring can be a game changer.


Is sugaring right for you?


Sugaring is great for:
• sensitive skin
• clients prone to ingrowns
• Brazilian and facial hair removal
• anyone looking for an all natural alternative to waxing


If you’re new to sugaring, we always take time to educate you on the process, aftercare, and maintenance so you know exactly what to expect.
