All About Aftercare: Why Your Performance in the Treatment Room Isn’t Enough Mar 19, 2023

Are you someone who thinks your clients’ experience begins and ends in the treatment room?
Oh if only it were that easy! But we can’t leave it up to our clients to Google or binge-watch TikTok for the latest fads to take care of their skin in between appointments. The results of that can range from silly (did you really think that a flashlight marketed as a "laser" would reduce hair growth?) to downright irresponsible (hello second-degree chemical burn from a high-powered acid exfoliant used on a fresh Brazilian).
Our job as estheticians extend far beyond the treatment room, as proper homecare can help to prepare the skin for the sugaring treatment, as well as promote healing and prevent potential complications after the treatment. So today I’m breaking down the “’Dos” and “Don’ts” of self-care through all stages of hair removal.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

How your client’s participation outside the salon directly contributes to your success in the treatment room.
Why you should be reading between the lines during that treatment room chit-chat to recommend products and tips for your client’s lifestyle.
The secret to properly educating your clients so you can become a team for Sweet Success!

How Sugaring Saved The SugarMama's Life Aug 08, 2021

The Sugar Show Ep 13: How Sugaring Saved My Life

Host: Shannon Sophia, The SugarMama®

Overview

In 2009, host Shannon Sophia had just gone through a divorce, sold her Lake Tahoe day spa and moved to a new city with her two boys as a single mom. She set up a small skin care studio and was in the midst of creating a new client base when the recession hit, and suddenly many of her clients were no longer able to justify including beauty services in their weekly or even monthly routines.

However, Shannon began to notice a trend: while she lost the majority of her facial clients, her hair removal clients stayed. But how was she supposed to set herself apart from the many other hair removal specialists in her area? Suddenly, it all clicked! The answer was sugaring.

At the time, Shannon had only taken an intro to body sugaring class and was, to be quite honest, terrible at it. However, she wholeheartedly dedicated herself to perfecting her craft by focusing on her sugar ball and practicing on family and friends. Once she began offering sugaring services at her studio, she quickly met every revenue goal she has set for herself and now can’t imagine doing hair removal any other way!

Tune into this week’s episode of The Sugar Show to hear more about the Sugar Mama’s sugaring journey! Learn about the “why” behind Shannon’s business, how she sets herself apart from her competition, and why sugaring has given her a way to not only find personal success, but also to help others thrive.

Quotes

“I had just recently gotten my little kit, I was practicing and practicing and practicing, and I started working on models. I got to a place where even my friends were saying, ‘Dang, Shan, this sugar is so much better than wax!’ And that’s when everything changed, and I confidently added body sugaring to my menu. And I haven’t looked back.” (4:09-4:35)
“With facials, we try to stay quiet and provide a relaxing experience, but with hair removal, I really had a chance to get to know each and every client…. And by listening and creating this safe space of trust and connection, I have saved marriages, helped encourage strength, planned weddings and even funerals. The aestheticians who have come onto my team have been able to build their careers and watch their financial dreams become a reality. It’s been a shift that I never ever expected.” (6:01-6:36)
“My ‘why,’ I realized, is to teach others how I survived, to get out of my comfort zone of facials and wax and do the thing that my clients didn’t even know they needed, which was a much better way to smooth their skin.” (7:36-7:51)

So I Started My Sugar Business…Now What? Tips for Effectively Streamlining Your Services Jul 25, 2021

The Sugar Show Ep 12: So I Started My Sugar Business…Now What? Tips for Effectively Streamlining Your Services

Shannon Sophia, The SugarMama®

Overview

Are you a seasoned sugar professional who is swamped with work as the world starts to reopen? Are clients flocking to your doorstep after months of hearing about the wonders of sugar through friends, family and social media?

This is a great problem to have…right? Even though it’s a wonderful feeling to have a solid client base, it’s also exhausting when you can’t accommodate everyone who’s seeking out your services.

If this problem feels familiar, you’ll definitely want to tune into this week’s episode of The Sugar Show. Here’s a sneak peek into the SugarMama’s playbook for streamlining and expanding your sugar business.

First, take a moment to recognize your success. There was once a time when you didn’t know how you would get to this point, and now you have. Be proud of yourself and acknowledge that you are going to overcome this hurdle, too!
Streamline your business. Most of the time, immediately looking to expand is a mistake. First, look to the ways that you can streamline your business operation and make your hours count!
Bring on an assistant! Most people don’t need to hire another aesthetician in the early stages of their business. Instead, bring on someone who can take administrative duties off your plate, so you can really focus on your sugar ball.
Expand your business…but only after you have completed all of the above steps! We can’t emphasize enough how important it is to attend to your own house before you start bringing new hires into the mix.

Remember how far you’ve come and know that there is a clear path to managing your client base, so you can find joy both inside and outside of your business. If you need additional support along the way, know that the Sugar Tribe is always here to help. Cheers to you!

Quotes

“I want you to stop. I don’t want you to stop sugaring, but I want you to stop. I want you to close the door of your treatment room, I want you to sit on the bed or sit on the comfy chair that’s inside your room, and I want you to recognize your success.” (5:29-5:47) → AUDIOGRAM
“For right now, I want you to unleash that feeling of responsibility and streamline you.... I want to ask you to really be mindful of what your day is like. Are you getting enough sleep? Are you starting your day with a morning routine and gratitude?....Take a moment and breathe and say, ‘Ok, how can I be smart in my day today?’” (11:20-12:13)

Getting Started with Sugaring: A Step By Step Guide to Starting Your Sugaring Business Jul 11, 2021

The Sugar Show Ep 11: Getting Started with Sugaring: A Step-By-Step Guide for Launching Your Sugaring Business

Shannon Sophia, The SugarMama®

Overview

Are you looking to take your skin care business to the next level? Have you heard about the wonders of sugaring, but you’re not quite sure where to start?

If you’re ready to take the sugaring plunge, we’ve got you covered. In this episode of The Sugar Show, the SugarMama® shares the tips and tricks you need to get started with sugaring.

Here’s a sneak peek into her sugaring playbook:

Find a skilled, certified sugar professional near you on www.thesugarnetwork.com.
Get certified, first with an online training, then with a hands-on course.
Hone your skills by practicing on family and friends.
Choose a preferred sugar product line.
Establish a passionate promotion plan.
And maybe even start your own specialty sugaring studio along the way!

People LOVE sugaring, so it’s about time you hop on the trend! But before you start, you’ll want to make sure you have a solid plan in place, so you can get the most out of this incredible practice for both your clients and yourself. The Sugar Show can help you get there!

Quotes

“I want you to get sugared. If you haven’t already experienced body sugaring for yourself, I want you to find a skilled, certified sugaring professional near you and get yourself sugared...so that you can experience what your clients will be experiencing.” (2:09-2:33)
“Make sure that you establish a base of clients and sugar fans. Create that buzz, have a baseline of people that can sing your praises, encourage and reward your fans for spreading the good work about sugar because once they experience the difference, they’re going to be hooked. So having a loyal foundation will be the stronghold for you to consider the next steps of starting your own business.” (8:56-9:22)
“Get [your clients] to understand that sugar is the best choice because (1) it’s not hot, it’s never going to burn your clients, (2) it’s all natural, it’s just lemon, sugar and water, (3) there’s going to be less ingrowns because we remove the hair out in the direction of hair growth and we’re not traumatizing the skin, (4) it’s great for sensitive skin, so those people who can’t wax can usually sugar, (5) there’s less mess, it’s sanitary, it’s antibacterial, antimicrobial. There’s so many reasons to love sugar. Really wrap your arms around that for yourself and for your clients.” (12:20-13:04)

You’ll learn why the trademark research is a crucial first step, and things to watch out for when you are starting your trademark journey.

Quotes:
“Applying for a trademark is the best way to make sure that your brand is available and not stepping on anybody else's toes. So yes, it costs money to file this application. But it's a win win either way, because either you know that it's available and you're protecting it, or you're learning that it's not available.” (15:03)

“Trademarks help you create a powerful brand” (17:36)
“The most valuable part of what you can pay a trademark attorney to do for you, is not the application. It's running a strong search, and then being strategic on how to fill out the application based on that search.” (25:08)

The Mental Side of Sugaring PLUS Bonus! Dec 20, 2020

Spend some time with your host, Shannon the SugarMama where she dives into the mental side of being a sugaring professional. In this episode, she guides you through understanding that once you shut that treatment room door, sugaring is more than just your technique it encompasses all of the senses for your clients. Clients tend to open up and dump their emotions into the room...and YOU need to know how to not absorb those emotions.

Shannon helps you to understand how to create not only a safe and calm space for your clients...but for YOUR mental state as well. The senses matter to US!!!

Take this time to stop and start your day of service with some calming breaths...to take your vibration from all around the room to focus on you.

When you can center your thoughts and focus on what is in front of you, you can fully be present for your clients and your business.

In between clients, it will benefit you SO MUCH MORE to take a moment to ground EVERY TIME. A few moments will change the entire pace of your day.

You will feel better.

Your clients will FEEL you feel better and grounded.

Anything your clients need, facial, sugar, lashes...YOU are going to be calm, focused, and positive and will get it in return.

For those who have taken the time to listen to this podcast, I have created an audio recording for you to download...to reset yourself before you invite your next client into your room. Before you dust on that powder, put on that nitrile glove, or slide that sugar out of the jar…

This gift is for you...and will directly benefit not only those around you...but I promise you will see a shift in your business success as well.

How to PAY Yourself as an Employee or IC with The Beauty CPA Dec 06, 2020

Now that you have (or your business has) decided how to categorize yourself as an employee or an independent contractor, its time to get PAID!
In Part Two of this Series, Kenesha and Shannon explore how to make sure you get paid properly depending on your business. Working smarter to be strong and sweet in 2021!!

What is an Independent Contractor or Self-Employed Beauty Professional?
You are the business owner
May receive Form 1099 from salon/spa owner or you are receiving monies from your clients and accounting for it yourself
Responsible for paying and remitting all taxes - federal and state income and payroll taxes
How you should pay yourself depends on how the business is structured:
Sole Proprietorship/SMLLC/General Partnership/MMLLC:
take an owner’s draw from your business banking account.
Best if done at regular intervals and amounts
Best if transfer in electronic
Still responsible for all taxes
Misconception: If you don’t take an owner’s draw you will not be taxes
All Net Income is subject to tax, so pay yourself what you want
Corporations:
Owners are put on payroll and paid a “reasonable wage”
Corporation withholds federal and state income and payroll taxes
Corporation pays half of payroll taxes
Will receive a Form W-2 at the end of the year

We all know how important exfoliation is to keep the skin smooth and healthy in between sugaring appointments. What you use to exfoliate is critical to a proper homecare routine! Listen in to how Shannon uses the mitts in her treatment room daily.
Meet Steve Landi, Director at Supracor. He has been supporting our industry for the last 17 years by providing a safe, effective and hygienic way to estheticians to retail to their clients.
Any client you have that has a cheap loofah ball hanging from a rope in the shower, its time to replace it with something else that won't host bacteria! Steve reviews how honeycomb cells actually exfoliate the skin.
Supracor products are a great retail addition, especially around the holidays! Men love the Facial Sponge to help with their beards.
Steve reviews how easy it is to keep the mitts clean and disinfected for our use. The mitts are a great addon to your sugaring treatment. Shannon uses them in most of her large area sugaring treatments!
Check out Spa Call Facial Sponge, Stimulite Bath Mitt, and the Body Exfoliator is great for backs!

Do You Know How to Properly Use PPE? w Karen Hodges, Salon-Gurus.com Sep 06, 2020

2020 was a doozy of a year and navigating the ever changing rules and regulations has been a challenge. In this episode of the SugarShow, we introduce you to Karen Hodges, Co-founder of Salon-Gurus.com.

Be Tax Savvy in Your Business and Save Big with Special Guest Kenesha Coleman Aug 30, 2020

On this episode, we welcome Kenesha Coleman, The Beauty CPA! She owns Coleman Tax and exclusively supports beauty professionals. Listen to find out more about Kenesha’s background and experience!

Today, we dive into tax planning! Here is the key, tax planning should be throughout the entire year to avoid people scrambling for their documents. Plus, any deductions that you are trying to receive must take place during the year. You can’t earn more deductions once the year is complete.

There are several things you should be doing, but we are diving into the top 3!

Bookkeeping
Setting aside tax money
Deductions

These three things all work together throughout the year!

Let’s dive into bookkeeping. What exactly is it? This means using an accounting software to track inflow and outflow of transactions that are categorized. Also, make sure you have a separate business account. Everything should be separate for tracking and potential auditing.
Quote: You cannot manage what you don’t track!

Second tip is setting aside money for taxes. Just because you charge $100 for a service, that doesn’t mean it is all yours. Some covers expenses and some covers taxes. The best policy is to set aside 25-30% of your income in a separate bank account. Best part is, once taxes are due, you won’t need to have a payment plan. By doing this, you will have a stack of cash that is available to cover that bill. Make sure you listen to this section—so many good tips and info about setting this up and what can happen without doing it!

The third tip is maximizing tax deductions. Most people are missing out here and it blows my mind! There are some simple questions about your business that can earn you some extra deductions. Mileage is a big one! We discredit how much those small trips add up to.

We need to flip our mindset on deductions. It is a smaller list to view things that you can’t deduct, rather than what you can deduct. Plus, there is no penalty for making a deduction that maybe shouldn’t be there when you file. This is where bookkeeping comes into play. Track and account for EVERYTHING. An accurate record allows you to take a deduction or credit for it.

Homework for you is to get your three steps set and get caught up! Make sure you get Kenesha’s guide on tax deductions!

What to Expect from a Skincare Distributor with special guests Wendi & Cee, Alexander’s Aesthetics Aug 09, 2020

A business that sells to customers is the technical description of a distributor. Alexander’s is so much more than that!

Alexander’s Aesthetics started in the family. The love of skincare prompted him to purchase many many products over the years trying to find the best ones out there. In the end, this led to a formation of a very large company that was centered around education of doctors and estheticians. This ended up becoming our foundation--to educate and provide information for clients while they are trying to find the right products for them and their businesses.

Q: Wendy, when did you decide to jump into the family business?
A: My mom took it over while I was an adult so I didn’t grow up with it. My husband and I both worked in the volatile business of tech in Colorado and decided we wanted something different. At the suggestion of my mother, we jumped into opening Alexander’s Aesthetics in Colorado. Once I opened the business, I definitely had a new-found respect for my mother and knowing exactly what she did day in and day out for work.

When you work with a good distributor, you get so much more. 16 years ago I started working with you, and here we are--teaching side by side!

Q: How do you choose a company like Sugar of the Nile to bring to your clients?
A: We had been looking around for sugar at the request of some of clients but hadn’t been impressed with any of the companies. When we met Sugar of the Nile, we realized they were not only a wonderful family owned company with a solid product, but Emily was an exceptional person to work with. She was willing to join us at shows and provide education which is completely in line with our business.

Q: What are you looking for when selecting a new product?
A: The things that we are looking for is a reputable company that is in it for a partnership, not as a product sales. They need to be willing to build us as well as us build them up. We test all of the products before bringing it on to ensure that it meets our standards. Cost is also something we look at in order to keep things affordable to our clients. At the end of the day, we try to provide a good sampling of products because there is so much out there. And, we want to make sure they have training and education that can be passed down--it is key.

You all do the vetting process for them! That is an amazing advantage.

One thing that we really talk about with our Sugar Tribe is to engage. It isn’t about just clicking and buying. It is about connecting with your audience. And with the Sugar Tribe, I encourage them to learn more about their distributor, to ask questions about complementary products, and to ultimately provide the best experience for their clients.

Q: What is the best way to engage with a distributor?
A: A physical visit is great if they are able to do it. It allows them to engage and put a face with the name. They can see the personality behind our brand. If that isn’t available, take the classes, look through the materials, and read through the product breakdowns. There is so much information to start with and then you can connect with

Is Your Business Legally Strong? Must Listen Episode with special guest Joey Vitale Aug 02, 2020

This episode is a MUST LISTEN! Don’t make the mistake of picking a sugary sweet name for your biz without learning more from our guest, Joey Vitale from Indie Law.

When Joey Vitale was in college, he was bribed by his father to go to law school with a new car. He quickly realized he was not the ‘shark.’ Due to it not fitting, he started his own graphic design business. Through networking, he realized how many people in business had questions. So, he started a law firm to fill the need in order to help cut out the noise.

Many people go with less expensive solutions. The problem with that is there is one solution for everyone--which is not the right solution for everyone. Instead, Joey works with people to educate and empower them in their business decisions.

His law firm focuses on the must haves for a business and has solidified the process into programs for those starting their business.

There are two beliefs that are very common among business owners:

I can be under the radar while getting started
I am confident in starting

These two concepts cannot coexist. What ends up happening is you wake up one morning to an expanding business that has duct tape. It isn’t protected because when that step should’ve been completed, you were too small.

One of the first steps they need to do is acknowledge that this business is separate from you. It is very easy to take it personally. But absolutely none of it is attached to your worth as a human. That goes both ways--positive or negative. As long as you stay a sole proprietorship, you are connected to the business. This is why it is recommended that you start as an LLC and establish your business is important enough to be its own entity.

Beyond the mental state of mind of being a separate entity, being a Limited Liability Company protects you. In the worse case scenario, if you are ever sued, your personal assets are protected.

Once you are committed to forming an LLC you will find it is quite easy to setup. In Joey’s business, he has resources available to help guide you through the process.

Next--trademarks. With sugaring being our service, we get to have a ton of fun with the names. But here is the thing we all assume, an available domain name means the name isn’t taken. Wrong! A trademarked may exist and down the road, you may be told to change your business name.

Trademarks actually exist to protect the consumer more so than the business. Owners tend to think they are ‘calling dibs’ on the name and they don’t want anyone else using it. But, what trademark protections are really about is the consumer. So they get the brand that they are trying to get. For instance, someone selling shoes that are spelled “Nikee” instead of “Nike.”

I myself as the Sugar Mama ran into this at a tradeshow. I sent someone that was new to sugaring to a vendors table. That person said, “the Sugar Mama sent me.” And the vendor’s response was, “Which one?” I actually had to interrupt and make sure it is known that I am THE Sugar Mama and am protected with that trademark. I was

How to Handle Summer Sugaring--Keep Your Cool! Jul 19, 2020

Aaahhhh Summer. Sunshine, beaches, bikinis...and beautifully smooth skin. Music to an estheticians ears!

This is the busiest hair removal season for the beauty industry and the best time to build your clientele. Seasoned sugarists know they have a consistent tool to bring clients in the door no matter what time of year--even the hot summers. After 10 summers in the treatment room in hot California, here are my tips for keeping you and your clients cool and perfectly smooth.

8 Musts for Summer Sugaring Success:

Chill Out Your Room: Keep the temperature in your room around 70 degrees to keep your sugar paste consistent. When you are sugaring back to back, it is important to keep you cool and keep your clients body temperature down if they have been outside and their skin is warm. Year round have a fan oscillating to keep the air in your room circulating too!
Firm Up: Order a paste with a bit firmer consistency than you would in the cooler months. Your hands might be warm and the clients skin will warm up your paste as well. Work with your sugar supplier to find the right paste in their line up that will work in your climate. They know their line best and want you to be a huge success!
Hot Hands?: Do you tend to run hot yourself? Try dialing back your coffee consumption, use peppermint oil on the base of your neck to keep your internal temps cool, or try using a second glove on your sugar hand to keep your heat from softening that paste.
Powder Up Buttercup: Keep your powder (and a dry washcloth) closer at hand to keep sweaty areas in check. Don’t over powder as it will thicken up your paste. As you move over the area, you might need to dab with the wash cloth followed by another quick dusting of powder. If you get stuck, you can remove the paste with a warm washcloth and repowder the area. Don’t worry, you got this!
Cool Globes: I always keep cool globes in a skincare fridge for those clients whose faces get inflamed easily. After the sugaring treatment, use a calming gel (one of my faves is Hale & Hush Hydrate Gel) and roll the cool globes over the freshly sugared skin. Your client will feel extra cool and special and their skin will calm down quickly. Try a dusting of mineral sunscreen to kick things up a notch for luxury and sun protection too! My fave is Advanced Minerals!
Morning Appointments: Have a client that ALWAYS runs hot and sweats like crazy? Book them in the morning! No workouts or coffee before for this client either! Trust me, morning appointments for them will make a huge difference for both you and them.
Strips: I know we are super proud that we don’t need to use a pile of sticks and muslin strips like waxers do. It is a wise idea to keep some pellon or non-woven strips in your back bar for those times when the sugar gets too soft on the skin to remove. Simply remove any excess sugar with your hand, then apply a strip to the area, rub the strip a bit, then remove like you used to in the old days of waxing and the sugar & hair beneath will slide off like a dream.
2 Smaller Balls: Keep control of our paste and get creative. If

Using Advanced Minerals in Your Sugaring Room with Annie Mayo Jul 12, 2020

On today’s podcast, we welcome Annie Mayo with Advanced Mineral Makeup.

Advanced Mineral Makeup is more than makeup. In fact, it is so much more that the work “makeup” shouldn’t even be used. It is a skin treatment that colors skin. And the best part, it is the perfect addition to an after-sugaring treatment! Advanced Minerals are made up of just that—minerals! These minerals are bacteria fighting, skin calming, inflammation fighting wonders. Annie suggests adding this as a finishing touch to your treatment because it will benefit everyone’s skin plus add a “finished” touch.

DURING TREATMENT: At the end of sugaring, you can add value to your client by using Advanced Minerals. There is a dry sunscreen to protect the skin, a powder to add anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory minerals to their skin, and they will leave with a finished look. This is ideal for your clients. We aren’t masking the issue like you would with regular makeup, we are treating the issue!
AFTER TREATMENT: This is an opportunity to teach your clients about skincare and what is best for their skin in between treatments. No junk makeup! No bad sunscreen! Once they see the benefits in action after their treatment, they will be ready to take better care and add-on product in order to keep everything healthy in between.

The important takeaway is over the counter contains bacteria—it can’t be helped. Minerals do not grow bacteria. Period.

Plus, with Advanced Minerals, you have four basic colors that you mix to create the perfect color. You don’t have to worry about having an abundance of products left on hand. Every person’s skin tone has a mix of these tones. These are affordable, comes with a tabletop display, and will keep everything so simple!

Then, we have to talk about sanitizing especially in today’s world. In order to make your supply last longer in the store, scrape the top off the powder onto a tissue—this will be what you use for that client. Then, using brushes you can apply. Have 2 or 3 sets of brushes on hand so that you can sanitize the brushes in between clients with brush cleaner. Clients with acne, rosacea, or sensitivities will not have to worry about cross contamination.

One thing to point out is our makeup in non-transferable. What that means in today’s world is that your makeup will stay on your face—even with mask wearing! There will be very slight residue, but it won’t pull off that makeup from your skin. Be safe, wear a mask, and treat your skin right!

We appreciate Annie Mayo’s time and knowledge to join us today. She has provided so much information and a great solution for your clients! Adding this product to your sugaring is a no-brainer.

ABOUT ANNIE MAYO

We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between beautiful makeup and quality ingredients. With 25 years as a Television and Film make-up artist, former esthetician Annie Mayo, launched Advanced Mineral Makeup in 2009 to bring you the purest pharmaceutical ingredients that are free from parabens, talc, fragrance and dyes.

As Sugar Professionals know in order to achieve the greatest results for hair removal, the skin and hair follicles should be as healthy and hydrated as possible.

Utilizing pure products with very few ingredients that clog pores are a must for any regimen.

Welcome to TheSugarShow, Whats on Deck! Oct 01, 2019

Thanks for tuning in! Welcome to the very first episode of the SugarShow!

To give you some background my clients named me the SugarMama because:

My superpower is Sugaring
I'm a mama to 5 kids and 1 granddaughter
And because the “other meaning” is that I’ll take care of you

But to me being The SugarMama means I will guide you and give you solid REAL advice. We will work through all the things not only sugaring techniques but business and growth and a whole lotta gratitude.

We will laugh

We will learn

And we will do big things. I'm not shy!

For 10 years now I’ve made my living sugaring an enormous clientele and for the last 5 years, I've been teaching esties all over the world how to master the art of body sugaring.

I've been able to go from scared single mama back then not knowing in a recession how I was going to feed my kids… to tripling my income and hiring a staff of esties and front desk dynamos to accommodate the growth. I've been able to help thousands of esties around the world to not only LEARN to sugar but BUILD their confidence and skills.

So today I am so jazzed to “relaunch” this SugarShow podcast actually. We had started this Show about 4 years ago and got so busy with our SugarMamas shop and teaching all the new ISU students how to sugar that we put it on the back burner.

Over the years I always tried to be brand neutral and focus on the techniques. I never shared my favorite things from sugar pastes to skincare companies I love and use…UNTIL NOW. Its time to take that SugarShow off the back burner and turn up the heat!

The sugaring industry is BOOMING…when I started not many people had heard of sugaring as an option and now its a THING! :). So NOW its time to talk about sugaring…from the companies that I love and respect to the skincare and tools that complement the work that SugarPros do, to industry trends both good and not so good.

So if you have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the right time - now is your time.

Each week I am going to deliver you soooo much knowledge AND introduce you to the most savvy educators, coaches, and biz owners I know.

Not only will we show you how to get started & learn the proper techniques but mostly how to drive your skincare biz to new heights.

This podcast is for you if you are currently a sugaring seasoned professional or are just learning to sugar. If you are an educator or a day spa owner. If you are an employee or an independent contractor….

We will learn how to master the technique and learn new tricks

Utilize hair removal in the treatment room along with other skincare modalities

Build your clientele database

Learn about complementary services and companies

Choose the best sugar supplier for you…or introduce you to the new ones that are coming on the scene.

Learn about things like trademarks, entrepreneurship, and best accounting practices

And soooo much more!

We have all waxed for so long and now that we have that beautiful sugar ball in our hands its time to open new doors with it!!
