A gentler kind of smooth
Sugaring removes hair with a warm paste of sugar, lemon, and water, applied by hand and lifted in the natural direction of growth. The technique is gentle on the skin, making it a thoughtful option for guests who find traditional waxing too harsh. At ānanya spa in South Lake Union, we offer facial and full-body sugaring, including brows, lip, underarms, arms, legs, bikini, Brazilian, and intimate areas. The result is smooth skin with less of the aftermath sensitive skin tends to remember.
All 50-minute services include complimentary use of our dry sauna, allowing you to enhance your wellness ritual before or after your treatment. Recommend before your facial. Excludes Waxing.
