Sugar Coated: The Sweeter Side of Hair Removal

While blondes may have more fun, brunettes do it better…redheads do it pain free.

Owner Shobha Tummala of Shobha Salons located in New York City concocts a mixture of honey, lemon juice, glycerin and water and spreads it onto skin.

What to try it at home? You can purchase Shobha Sugaring Kit ($30) that contains six washable and reusable strips of denim.
