Sugaring
What is AP Sugaring
Hair Removal
Sugaring, an ancient hair removal method dating back to Cleopatra in Egypt, is now refined by Alexandria Professional (AP), a pioneer in the industry. With years of research and experience, AP developed a unique “6-Step” all-hand technique and high-quality, all-natural products. Their “Full Circle of Skin Conditioning™” program combines these methods for exceptional, lasting results. AP offers four types of sugar paste, each tailored to different hair types, skin conditions, and temperatures, ensuring a personalized, effective treatment for every client.

At MarisGina, we exclusively use the AP sugaring system, but achieving safe and effective results relies on the skill and knowledge of our practitioners.

Additionally, we take pride in offering the unique Japanese hospitality, ensuring that foreign clients experience exceptional service. Our clients often rave about the superior, lasting results of our sugaring, with many returning for repeat treatments. We are confident that our skin-first approach and outstanding results make us one of the best in Japan—and perhaps the world.
Benefits of AP Sugaring and the differences from Waxing
AP Sugaring’s advanced techniques effectively remove short hairs as short as 1-2mm, delivering long-lasting results with minimal skin stress, unlike waxing, which often requires tweezers for a clean finish.
We prioritize skin health by avoiding tweezers, which can damage follicles and lead to issues like ingrown hairs and pigmentation. AP’s exclusive aftercare scrub further enhances the effectiveness of our treatments.
Sugaring removes hair in the direction of growth, causing less irritation than waxing. While both can be painful for first-timers, regular treatments reduce discomfort as hair becomes finer and softer.
Made from natural ingredients—sugar, lemon, and water—sugar paste is safe for sensitive skin, with antibacterial properties that keep skin clean, unlike waxing, which can irritate delicate skin.
Sugaring minimizes waste by eliminating the need for spatulas and strips. It’s a vegan, cruelty-free, and eco-friendly hair removal method.
Sugaring is performed at body temperature, reducing the risk of burns, making it safer for sensitive skin, while waxing may cause discomfort due to higher temperatures.
Special techniques allow sugar paste to penetrate the follicle, capturing short and fine hairs for smooth, long-lasting results, while waxing often causes breakage, leading to faster regrowth.
Sugaring can be done every 3-4 weeks, keeping skin smooth and reducing hair growth over time, unlike waxing, which requires longer hair growth and less frequent treatments.
Sugaring not only removes hair but also exfoliates dead skin and unclogs pores, improving texture and radiance, while moisturizing for hydrated, glowing skin.
Tattoos
Sugaring is perfect for tattooed skin, gently removing hair without disturbing your body art. Unlike waxing, it targets only the hair, reducing the risk of fading or skin trauma. Sugaring also exfoliates, keeping skin smooth and enhancing the vibrancy of your tattoo.
Eczema & Psoriasis
Sugaring hair removal is a gentle, effective option for eczema and psoriasis-prone skin. It minimizes irritation and inflammation, while the natural paste reduces allergic reactions. Its exfoliating properties help smooth skin without aggravating flare-ups, making it a skin-friendly choice for sensitive skin.
Pregnancy
Many women turn to shaving during pregnancy due to concerns about waxing pain or salon visits. At our salon, we offer a special full bikini sugaring menu for pregnant women up to 9 months. This method helps alleviate the worries of shaving, irritation, and regrowth after birth. With long-lasting results and soothing properties, sugaring provides a safe and comfortable option for both moms and babies.
Why choose sugaring
Sugaring is a gentle, natural hair removal method ideal for sensitive skin. It removes short hairs, exfoliates, hydrates, and helps reduce hair growth over time. For a less painful, nourishing experience, sugaring is the perfect choice. While waxing offers quick results, it may not provide the long-term skin benefits that sugaring does.
