Reviews of Sugar Sugar

Rachel Palmieri Weber

I've never had brow sugaring or tinting before. I wasn't nervous about the sugaring (it was great, much gentler than waxing), but I was nervous about the brow tint, mostly because I wanted to still look like myself and I usually see fairly exaggerated brows coming out of salons. Aden was awesome. She walked me through everything, was very sweet, and listened to my concerns about the tinting. The end result was perfect! I will be making regular appointments!

Margarita Ivanova

I was waxing for a year but did some research and decided to try Sugar Sugar cause of the great reviews. Aden was such a sweetheart and very gentle. This was my first time sugaring , she made it a wonderful experience. Very knowledgeable and sold me right away on a product too. Can’t wait to use it and come back for my maintenance!! Thank you again Aden!

Zoryana Peterson

My appointment was with Aden and it was WAY better than standard waxing. My skin wasn’t even red and it didn’t hurt nearly as much. If you need to get your cooter waxed (or anything else) GO HERE. Run don’t walk. Aden was so pleasant and provided a comfortable safe environment. 10/10 would recommend.

Julie Johnson

I get Brazilian sugar waxing as well as brows. This was my first experience and I’ve stayed since. It is clean, comfortable, and such a good atmosphere to be in for the appointments I have. I highly recommend this place. It’s worth it and these ladies are knowledgeable, friendly, and about your needs. I go to Tessa and am so glad to have her be my go to person.

Jennifer Nickerson

"Extended bikini plus" is the perfect 80's bush, with a smooth backside!! I can't believe it only cost $50 & took 30 minutes!! Are you kidding me?!?! Taylor is so personable & easy to chat with. The sugaring session was faster & much less painful than waxing. The real bonus being less waste & less recovery time. I'm barely red & I didn't have to blot myself dry after a pee. Street parking was actually easy & they're open holidays! Seriously!! I'm a sugaring convert. Thanks so much, Taylor! See you next month!!!

Emma

I love this place! Iv been all over in Portland because I’m always so last minute with my appointments. Big mistake! I will be sure to get my appointments scheduled in with Sugar Sugar. It was the most painless experience by far, fair prices, great staff, and the vibe is lovely. Highly recommend!

Joanna Steven

While they do not need more positive reviews, here is another one. The place is spotless, everyone who works there is wonderful, and booking appointments is easy. Sometimes, they will have someone new, and you can book free sugaring sessions to help them practice. I can't imagine going anywhere else. Thank you Abby and everyone at Sugar Sugar for providing sugaring in such a convenient (to me) location!

Bonnie Newman

I have received excellent service and advice from Taylor at Sugar Sugar. This little salon is always clean, bright and friendly. The service is well worth the cost to me. I highly recommend it.

KGL aison

This is the only place I have ever used, and probably ever will or sugaring! Taylor is amazing! Just finished a Brazilian with Morgan, with assistance from Aden- they are all amazing with the work they do! 10/10 recommend!

Lyndsay Jones

The service these girls give is above and beyond! Taylor is my main girl, she is quick, efficient, talented and kind. She has done my lashes, facials & sugaring and I recommend her to everyone! The owner, Abbie, is kind and amazing as well. She is very knowledgeable and always improving her business. I’ve been to 3 other sugar locations in Portland and Sugar Sugar is by far the best ♥️

Sierra R

I've been going to Sugar Sugar for a couple of years for bikini sugaring and would highly recommend their services to anyone! I have seen both Taylor and Allison and both are spectacular and just such genuinely sweet people on top of their excellent sugaring abilities. I've always felt comfortable. The location is always clean, serene and is super cute! Parking is never an issue. Sugaring is way way less painful than waxing and (for those with sensitive skin like me) way gentler on your skin. Overall, cannot speak highly enough of Sugar Sugar. Go try them out yourself. You won't be disappointed :)

Kris Alexander

I have been seeing Taylor for three years! She is incredibly great and pays attention to detail. She also always remembers small things about my life making it so much more personal and friendly when I visit. I mean she sees me in my birthday suit so we should be sugaring friends at this point. Either way don't sleep on this place it's one of the best places I have found out west! Dump your wax and give sugaring a try! Taylor, stay the queen you are!

Andrea Bach

I had my brows sugared here recently and they looked absolutely fantastic! Taylor did such a great job with very little pain. She did a wonderful job of styling them, adding some arch without making them too extreme. She also took time to explain the lash lift to me which sounded really interesting, I'm doing that in my next visit. The salon is really nice and clean and comfortable. The beds are warm and super soft and cozy!!!

Cortny Rector

My first time getting “sugared” & it was much more pleasant than waxing. It didn’t hurt as much and my skin wasn’t stinging afterwards. The price is more steep ($22+tip) but it is environmentally friendly. I like that they squeezed me in same day too. The office is clean and smells nice. The cosmetologist was professional, friendly, and competent.

C P

This was my first experience with sugaring after usually getting waxed. It did hurt a bit more than I was expecting but the recovery has been much better compared to waxing. I saw Taylor and she was great and did a fantastic job!

Iona Musgnung

This was my first time sugaring (have waxed for years) and I’m a convert for sure. I have extremely sensitive skin and fine hair and I generally walk out of waxing appointments red, in pain, burning, and have an uncomfortable couple of days of recovery. Plus major lifting (removal of top layers of skin equals peeling for weeks... gross). Not the case at all post-sugar. I’ve been irritation free since my appointment! I haven’t had a grow in yet, but I have a feeling it’s going to be a much easier process. Tessa explained the process to me, was great conversation, and did an excellent job. Baby smooth skin with no irritation! It’s like 60% less of the pain of Brazilian waxing. I love that it’s all natural and the waste reduction is so great too!! Love that it’s a small, female empowering, local business. And it was the same cost as my waxing appointments so there really is no loss here.

Michelle D

I have really been enjoying my time going to Sugar Sugar. As a plus sized person I’ve always been very nervous about getting waxed for Brazilian but Taylor is amazing and does a great job making the process easy and comfortable. Highly recommend for services

CJ 101

I wanted to switch from waxing for a few reasons: - less painful - just sugar, water, and lemon - not as hot as wax I chose to give sugar sugar a try due to the location being easy and free street parking - I'm glad I did! Taylor was amazing. Very kind, easy to talk to, and genuine. It was a much better experience than the waxing salons I have went to. Some tend to give off a 'stiff' vibe (it was the pearl) but this place was professional and yet relaxed. I definitely recommend it!

e griffin

Very professional, very reasonably priced, huge array of services. I’ve had many parts sugared and my lashes set and tinted. I am always pleased.

Lori Maginnis

Had a facial yesterday with Taylor and it was a wonderful experience. Taylor is extremely skilled with facials as well as sugaring and does not disappoint! I will be definitely going back for once a month facials and sugaring services with her. The studio is absolutely gorgeous, very clean, professional, and relaxing. I highly recommend this place!

Christine Spencer

I've been going to Sugar Sugar from the beginning, and will never go anywhere else. Abbie (the owner) has done a beautiful job of growing a business with the best group of women I've seen under one roof. All of them are experienced, very professional, make you feel comfortable and welcome you with warmth. They all have your best interest at heart and will make you look and feel fabulous. I have a long history of seeing Tessa and Abbie, which are both such a delight, for sugaring and facials, all of which were great. I have also seen Devon for lash extensions and sugaring and she rocks. Lashes were a game changer for me since I don't have a lot of time and don't wear a lot of makeup. They make me feel and look way better than mascara alone. I have also noticed my general eye health improving with wearing less product near my eyes. If you're looking for a local business to support, this is it. They all deserve every bit of success that comes their way.

Maria Harrington

I have been coming to Sugar Sugar ever since I moved to Portland about 4 years ago. Their staff is amazing and my brows and lashes always look perfect after my appointment. The space is clean, inviting, and comfortable. I highly recommend them for all your Sugaring and self care needs!

Brittney McCartin

I have seen Tessa a few times now and she has done an amazing job every time! I drive 40 minutes for my appointment because the results with sugaring, along with the attention that Tessa gives with each sugar, is 100% worth it! Studio is clean + the decor is super cute! Thanks for a great experience!

Alanna St. Peters

Some background: I've been getting Brazilian sugar waxes for several years and I've had a variety of experiences. I got a Brazilian from Abbie today and I can say with 100% certainty that it was the BEST Brazilian I've ever gotten. I was so comfortable and relaxed. She was gentle and literally got everything!! It had been about 7 months since I had last gotten a Brazilian, so my pain tolerance was much lower than normal, and she STILL managed to make it an almost painless process. She knew I was traveling the next day and gave me extra anti bacterial wipes so I can prevent those white bumps I always get. Super kind and a master of her craft. I am recommending this place to all my friends!! ❤️❤️

Western Skies

Tessa was awesome!! She made the experience really comfortable and easy. She was friendly and helpful. I let her know an issue I'd had post sugaring and she was able to recommend a product that would help. She was lightening fast and I'll 1000% be returning!

Jay Bee

Abbie was wonderful and professional, it went by so quick I didnt have time to say "ouch!" Not that I needed to--this was my first time sugaring and my sensitive skin found this much gentler than hard wax. About 1/3 of the pain and it seemed to go much faster from not having to do all the extra work with the wax, as well as from Abbie's quick and sure hands. I'll be back!

Susan Casey

Tessa was amazing. It had been a minute since I’ve gotten a bikini wax and she made it incredibly comfortable and accommodating. Very clean and professional. Couldn’t recommend Sugar Sugar and Tessa more 🙌🏻 …

Allison Peterson

I’ve been seeing Tessa for a couple of years. Always friendly and helpful staff, they put you at ease even if you’re a first timer. Already very on top of their cleanliness and sanitation prior to COVID, they’ve upped their protocols and are doing a great job. Masks, temp check, and hand cleaning are required upon check in and staff are wearing both masks and face shields. They are great at what they do!

Aubrey Keizer Oregon

Taylor was amazing. Easy conversation and comfortable environment. Plus my legs are extra smooth now. Sugaring is definitely better than regular waxing. It hurt less, got more hair from the root, and no sticky residue.

Cindy Lin

Clean, safe COVID practices (temp check, questionnaire prior to coming in, hand sanitizing or wash hands when you first get in, mask requirement, and you wait in your car and they text you when they are ready for you). Prices are very fair, booking is easy on the mind body app. Everyone I have been to there has been great. Sugaring is much more gentle on my skin than waxing - it is even less painful in my opinion.

Raechel Schimpf

Abbie has made my hair removal experience the most enjoyable it has ever been. I shaved, I would have stubble and ingrown hairs the next day. I waxed, when I did my skin and hair follicles would be red and irritated. Sugaring is all natural and compared to waxing, you are pulling the hair out in the direction it grows instead of pulling the opposite (which is why it becomes red and irritated with waxing). Hair removal isn't fun or enjoyable, but Abbie makes you feel comfortable. She is funny, friendly, polite, and thorough! ;P I just added a facial service on top of my sugaring services today. That was incredible! I highly recommend Abbie at Sugar Sugar in Sellwood!

Thy Daniels

Devon is amazing for lash extensions, she has a lot of experience and is very quick and efficient. I can see her during my lunch and know that she won't be running late. My lashes always look amazing and stay on very well. She's the best!

Dana Kunz

Very friendly, much less painful than waxing. Also - was pleasantly surprised that my brows were no longer red after just a couple hours. Normally with waxing my eyebrows are red even the next day (I have sensitive skin). I will be coming back for more services!

Rachel Tholl

Great space and privacy for sugaring/sugar waxing. The staff are very professional and kind - they care about your comfort the entire time. I'm a convert from shaving and will never go back! Sugaring is so much better for my skin.

Madi Aichele

Abbie is wonderful! I started seeing her for leg and Brazilian sugars in August 2015 and stuck with it! Not only is she down-to-earth, but she is great at what she does and knows what she is doing, making your experience as relaxing as possible. The studio is also a quiet and comfortable space, and convenient as well! I would highly recommend seeing Abbie for the best sugaring experience!

Susan Mills

I have been having my brows waxed for years. Sugar Sugar was my first attempt at sugaring. Abbie was terrific and explained the process very clearly to me. Overall, it was less painful than waxing and Abbie shaped my brows quite nicely. I particularly like how several days later, the stray hairs have yet to begin to grow in! I will definitely be a regular client.

Brooke Bergemann

I got sugared for the first time yesterday and I am officially obsessed! I have a trip coming up and didn’t want to have to deal with shaving or prickly hair growing back since I’ll be in a bikini everyday. I sugared my full legs and my bikini line and couldn’t be happier! The owner Abbie was my esthetician and she was the sweetest thing ever. She educated me on everything she was doing and answered any questions I had. For the most part the entire sugaring process was very comfortable and didn’t even really hurt! This will definitely be my new thing before trips and all summer long, totally worth it!

Anna A

I have been a loyal client-fan for over year and wouldn’t want anyone else working on my lashes. She does stellar work, has high integrity and I always leave feeling like a million bucks. Highly recommend!

Kendall Dukes

Great experience. I had an awesome facial and brow/lash tint by Taylor. My skin is happy and it was very relaxing, exactly what I was looking for. And my brows look amazing!! Will definitely be back.

Asha Lloyd

If you haven't tried sugaring yet, you NEED to!! I first went to Abbie for a face sugaring as my fiancee and I were scheduled to take engagement pictures and I thought it would be a nice touch prior to the photo shoot. I wasn't sure I would continue on or if this would be a one time thing...Well, I fell in love with this method and will not do the wax method ever again. It's seriously painless and the ingredients used are far better for my sensitive skin, as waxing led to my skin usually breaking out and sugaring hasn't irritated my skin at all. Abbie is wonderful at what she does - I look forward to the lunch breaks I schedule these appointments on - the studio is calming and relaxing - I always walk out feeling more beautiful and refreshed.

Megan Gilbertson

Abbie does an amazing job at Sugar Sugar Portland! I love that her services are based in eco-friendly, all natural, and sustainable practices. All my sugaring sessions at Sugar Sugar have been excellent - pain free and awesome results. And Abbie is super personable and easy to talk to, so you can count on some great conversation to accompany your service. Can't wait to try a facial here!

Kat Bonham

Taylor helped me out with a bikini sugar and I would definitely come back. She was professional and quick- something you hope for in this type of service.

Abigail Rotwein

Devon is amazing! Best lash lady I’ve ever been too- she makes your lashes extra full and they last. She’s also fun to chat to and really cares about her clients.

Allie Lydy

Great place to get a Brazillian! Was out in less time than planned but didnt feel rushed at all. I also picked up some aftercare products, the exfoliating pads and a salve that feel wonderful!!

Jessica Desrocher

Abbie is awesome and so is Sugaring! I have been getting traditional wax treatments for underarms, bikini and legs for over 15 years and I now I'm a sugar convert. I don't think I will ever go back to wax! Not only is it hard to find an esthetician that is consistent and thorough and doesn't take 2 hours to complete my waxing (who has that kind of time?!), waxing is messy and produces so much waste that I've always struggled with the environmental impacts of waxing vs shaving. Abbie not only meets my requirements in an esthetician (she is really really great, fast, thorough and fun to talk to) sugaring also satisfies my conservation mindedness. I am so glad I gave it a try. Having Abbie right in the neighborhood is real bonus too!

Marcella Renner

Devon is amazing! I found Devon at sugar sugar about a year ago and never looked back! Devon is truly a master at her craft whether it’s eyelashes or sugaring. She is passionate about her work and it is reflected in her quality and professionalism. If you want the best- go see Devon.

Jocelyn Petrini

Least painful hair removal I've had in 10 plus years of waxing/sugaring. Good prices, friendly staff. I'm never going anywhere else!

Rylie Marchand

Extremely grateful to have found such an amazing, clean and welcoming environment to get sugared. Collyn was very friendly and great at what she does! I wish I didn’t have to move away!

Emily Holland

Super friendly and relatively pleasant experience. Collyn is so sweet and makes the process of getting a bikini wax super easy

Sara

I had such a lovely experience, Tessa was very patient with me as it was my first time getting sugared. 10/10 recommend to anyone, will be a returning customer.

Mindy Proctor

Tessa does a fabulous job! She's great with her sugaring skills and her ability to make you forget what you are having done. Highly suggest this business!

Gail Mueller

Devon is amazing. Don't go anywhere else if you want lashes. Have been going to get for over two years. AmAZING!!

Sharon S

Abbie's space is lovely and restful She was a professional and the hair removal process went well....she has a light touch. Will definetly go back....want to get a fascial.
