The pictures say it all. I feel like someone rewinded the clock about 5 years. Ruby was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what she was doing. I went in not having a clue what eyebrow laminating is, but seen pictures and knew I wanted it. I asked many questions and Ruby answered all of them. She gives instructions how to care for, keep up with ect. I definitely recommend NYC sugaring. It's very clean, quiet, & well decorated. #gotSugar read more

The atmosphere was a vibe. Izzy was amazing, very polite and informative. she chatted with me throughout the entire process while gi me alerts and making sure I was comfortable. the only Con I have is the lack of privacy, I'd recommend providing drapes to cover up when staff is entering and exiting the room. I will definitely return. read more

Thank you Elisa, Rand Ruby fir the SUGAR!! And Gina at the front desk is always a pleasure to be greeted by, plus has the best knowledgeon the very fairly priced products, and work.. The whole staff is so nice and a really comfortable vibe.

Jennifer was very warm, welcoming and provided great service. I was able to get in and get out while receiving quality service; as well, additional information about other benefits their location had to offer! I will be seeing her again soon! read more

I had an appointment for full Brazilian at 6:45 and arrived at 6:47. I acknowledge that I was late and that is my own fault. I apologized and was met with attitude from Elise. Fast forward to my wax, Elise seemed very angry with me and said all of two words to me the entire time. There was no hi how are you, just straight to it. I could feel that Elise was angry with me by the way she roughly waxed me. I understand being upset about my tardiness but taking your anger out during an already painful process is just plain mean. I have never had this experience at SugarNYC but left feeling very hurt by the poor customer service. read more

Elisa was great! I was done in under 10 minutes. Very nice clean salon. I will go back.

I've been going here for almost a year now and I've had no complaints until the other day. I go about every 2-3 months and the lady I usually go to no longer works there, which then I decided to try another lady. THAT WAS THE WORST MISTAKE EVER.I honestly thought she was going to ripe the top of my vagina off. She did not heat the wax up, no distraction conversation, very rough. She had that "Bitch lay tf down" vibe. It was horrible I usually get a Brazilian, but I had to tell the lady to stop, and I was all set. It makes me sad because I really liked this place but if you are going to be like that towards your customers then I'm all set. Crazy thing is I still paid and tipped but that was my last time. read more

Highly recommend, this place was great. Parking was tough but not impossible on Newbury, just reserve extra time for finding parallel parking on Newbury or one of the side streets. Highly recommend booking with Emily. She was awesome- super informative, friendly, and professional! This was my first time sugaring and she made it a seamless, comfortable experience. Not sure if I'll go back to my regular waxing, it already seems like sugaring does indeed last significantly longer! read more

Let's just say Wow! Smdh Wow! Hahahah! The rooms are very open! Not much privacy. I showed up to my appointment crazy early and I was still taken in late by 25 minutes My person who did my wax was cool as hell but I didn't get what I wanted based on her experience and that's not her fault. I am going to stick to nairing my butter parts I have to still nair when I get home at least in the next 48 hours. read more

This was first time getting any hair removal done and the experience was much easier than I thought. I saw Jazmarie and she made me feel comfortable and helped ease some of those nerves. read more

Overall: a horrible way to remove hair, and rather unpleasant. Hurts very slightly less than waxing if you count each strip HOWEVER they have to go over each area at least 3 times to get the hair off, and even now there are patches that haven't been taken off. (I do have very light hair so that does make it trickier.) It takes an eternity: I went in for a full leg and bikini line and with waxing this would take about 30 mins max, but I was in there for an hour... Because sugaring uses a large glob of sugar paste, the results are very patchy since there's no way to get a straight line, so my bikini area looks super messy. Also, even though it hurts a tiny bit less than waxing on the legs, it hurts way more on the bikini line since it's so sensitive and the glob is so hard to control. It also leaves sticky residue all over your legs. Sure, this will take off 80% of your hair, but it is FAR from pleasant. Here's the deal: hair removal hurts regardless, so I'd rather have it be as quick as possible so that the pain doesn't last as long. I will definitely be sticking to waxing... (For context, I've been waxing since I was 14 and have a pretty high pain threshold.) read more

I had never gotten waxed before due to fear. Then I heard about sugaring and how it isn't hot and way safer. So I tried it and instantly fell in love, its the only way I handle my bikini area. As for this location this has been the best. I've tried a bunch of cheaper companies and just different ones in general and not the same at all. As for sugaristas my go to's are EILEEN (I hope I spelled that right) and ELISA read more

Decided to try sugaring for the first time as I had never done wax before and heard it's much better on your skin. I was super nervous when I arrived. Kaitlin made sure to make me feel as relaxed as possible and talk me through the process. I'm such a baby when it comes to pain but thank goodness for Kaitlin being super friendly and making me laugh to get through the process. It went by super fast and I loved the results. I will definitely be back again! read more

That was the worst sugaring appt of my life and I've been having it done for 6 years. I don't even know who sugared me because she didn't introduce herself. I was in and out for a Brazilian in less 10 minutes, which is just ridiculous. She ripped out huge sections of hair and didn't allow any time for the skin to calm down. That's the most painful way to do it. She also left so many hairs behind and didn't do any cleaning up of stray hairs after. If I could rate 0 stars I would. read more

This was hands down of the best sugaring/waxing experiences I've ever had. She was really patient with me and talked me through the process. I will definitely go back if I'm ever in the Boston area! read more

I have been looking for a sugaring wax place since I've moved to Boston. Originally I go to rewaxation in SF, CA for my Brazilian wax. So I decided to give here a try and I have strong opinions about this place. The inside of the place was cute but super hot. It didn't seem to have any ventilation. When it was my turn to be waxed, I noticed the wax came from a plastic cup which was microwaved. I didn't think anything of it but when it was applied it wasn't warm enough. When it was being pulled away from me my skin wasn't taut enough so it was super painful. It was quick and not done super thoroughly. I was told my hairs were too short but upon inspection there were hairs longer than 1/4 inch. If I didn't know any better I would think this was normal but I've been getting sugared for the last three years. It was super disappointing and I had to write a review right away. read more

This was my first time sugaring and I had the best experience with Rupa! I did a Brazilian as well as took advantage of the Yelp Check in offer for a free underarm sugaring. Great service, cute decor. Definitely less painful than waxing (IF you've waxed before). Going from shaving to sugaring will probably hurt you more. read more

Sugaring NYC - Room where they service you. Everything pink and cute - Sugaring Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This was my first time sugaring and unfortunately I didn't even get to do it. I was told I didn't need to shave for 2 weeks and then I went in and the girl immediately told me it should have been 3-4 weeks, which isn't what anyone said, and that she can try a patch but it probably won't work. Which she did and then didn't even give me the chance to do it. She then gave my friend the same exact problem right after. Seemed like she just didn't want to do it for us and was very rude overall read more

I went here about a year ago and I've never been more furious at a staff compared to any company. Yes, including customer service conversations with your TV provider. I'm a busy college student and at the time I had an event coming up and needed to get some waxing. I decided to try sugaring based on a referral from my friend. I made an appointment by phone call for 2pm on a weekday. I had class before the appointment, so when I received a phone call 10 minutes before my class got out, I couldn't answer. I immediately called the number back which was, as you guessed it, the salon. She told me she was calling to change my appointment to about an hour later. Because I didn't answer, apparently that meant "yes, go ahead and change my appointment, you may assume I do nothing." I told her it could not be changed it because I had another class that started during that time. She said, "oh, let me see if I can change it back." Change it back?? I found out they wanted to book someone else during my appointment time... not sure why?? Makes no sense??? Why would you put one client over another?? Like even if I was a famous person they would have no clue (I'm not, but the point follows). Anyways, she said it might not be able to be changed and I told her that's too bad, I'm coming in during my appointment time. I went in and told the lady in front of the client who replaced time that she shouldn't change people's appointments without their approval. She replied with "oh my manager said it was okay." ....uh huh. Great A+ manager. Either way, shouldn't have happened. Besides this, pretty good sugaring job. (That's why the extra star.) read more

Sent my girlfriend here today as a gift, meant to pamper and be enjoyable... and what a nightmare experience: 1. Air conditioner was broken, so the wax was not the intended temperature and waxer explained it "should not be like this" and caused significant additional pain and irritation 2. Whole place under construction, no windows or anything, completely unprofessional feel vs what is advertised 3. After apologizing and telling her the service was less than adequate versus what they normally provide (literally the sguar wax was not working because the place was too hot) charged her in full and did not offer any discount. Her skin is irritated, more than regular waxes do. Also she was literally covered in sweat from the pain and heat (because no ac...) and still had to go to work after. Needless to say we will never be using this service again, fair warning to others, wait until their construction is done and AC is working, and if they continue having negative reviews you know to avoid this place. read more

I consistently went to this place to get sugared. The place is clean, staff is nice but scheduling is a huge problem. I understand cancelling appointments once in a while because of course life happens, but I have been rescheduled three times because staff called out so there is no one to provide the service. If you are late to the appointment they mark you as a no show and charge you half of your service price but if they cancel your appointment in less than 24 hrs which they have for me on multiple occasions there are no repercussions that they have to face. My advice to anyone is to book way in advance, not right before vacation like I did because chances of them keeping the appointment is slim to none. read more

This location is conveniently located between a short walk from either Copley or Hynes Convention Center on Newbury Street. I've been coming here since September of 2019 and kept coming back because I prefer this method to regular waxing. Not only has sugar wax improved the way my hair grows back by decreasing my chances of ingrown hair, it's also been less painful. It's been amazing to come to this location knowing my body will be taken care of the way it's meant to. My preferred staffer is Emily and she takes such good care of my waxes. She is very gentle, ensures that I get the result that I desire and gives great advice on what I need to do and not do between waxes so that my skin looks and feels the way it's meant to. I highly recommend that you book with her not only because of her care but also for her genuine appreciation to see to it that your waxes are meeting your needs :) read more

Waaaaayyyy better than waxing! (thanks, Reeya!) 2 years ago I had a REALLY BAD experience with waxing, and so I said never again would I let another human being remove hair from my special parts. However, I'm 7 months pregnant and I'm struggling with all this hair growing back 2min after I shave (#PregnantWomanProblems). I kept seeing commercials on YouTube (legit, right? lol), so I said, "you can do this, Sophie!" Yesterday I went to Sugaring Boston. I was late (of course because of the whole parking situation). I called in advance to let them know I was running late, and Reeya was patient with me. I am unusually sensitive these days, but this experience was not bad at all. 1. There's a fan in the room 2. I was able to put my underwear on without the fear of trickles of blood getting on my lovely VS undies (happened after my horrible wax experience) 3. I was able to walk like NORMAL after the experience (unlike after that wax where I was sore, traumatized, and close to... crying?) 4. Reeya was patient with me & I didn't feel so embarrassed for sweating so much (sorry Reeya :( yikes) 5. I don't think my special parts have ever been this smooth since I was a newborn (two words: NO BUMPS like that wax... ugh... you know) 6. My butt crack is exceptionally smooth! Ok, seriously. I have NEVER had this done before and I have to say I have been missing out. I never knew I'd feel like a different woman with a smooth butt crack. I feel super clean. There's no way for me to show this off, but take my word for it... it's amazing 7. There's a candy bowl in the waiting area Of course everyone's experience is going to be different, but I will definitely be back. read more

This place was my go-to when Rupa was still an employee. She was hygienic, professional and made sure things felt alright, even during my first sugaring experience. When she left to work elsewhere, I decided to book with Yue, assuming I would receive the same great treatment. But I was very wrong. Yue did not prep or clean the area before she even started sugaring, and she even chastised me on trimming some of the area prior to sugaring. Also, even though I have only ever booked for a full bikini, Yue tried to wax EVERYTHING. Even when I tried to explain what I wanted, she defended herself by saying that she has always done it her way, and ignored what I said. It's a shame because this place used great, but after that horrible experience, I will not go back. read more

Treatment: A definite 10/10... as comfortable as hair removal can get. The process was fast, involved minimal pain and the results look awesome. Office/Location: A 9/10, with one point being deducted only for the lack of easy parking availability. The office was clean, stylish, welcoming, and spacious. Staff: 7/10. The receptionist was not impolite by any means, but definitely less welcoming than I was expecting. The young woman who did my treatment (Allison) was professional, but hardly incited conversation at all during the process, which is a downside for me since talking distracts from the pain. But since the pain was minimal, it wasn't a dealbreaker for me. Overall: I highly recommend coming here for professional sugaring in an upscale environment, but keep in mind that you may have to ask up-front for your assigned staff member to talk through the process, if that's something that matters to you. read more

Worst sugar job I ever received, don't waste your money. Didn't even sugar me 100% and the only reason I came here because my girl was booked. Don't usually leave reviews but this sugar was so bad I wouldn't want anybody else to waste there money here. read more

I came here to do my eyebrows and upper lip, but there is still a lot of hair. My specialist told me that sugaring helps with cleaning up, and not giving perfectly defined eyebrows in the middle of doing it. The upper lip hurt and it was quite red after her pulling at the hair multiple times. I'm a student and $30 is quite a bit. The only advantage of coming here was that my specialist was sweet and didn't mind going over my eyebrows again when I told her to. I'll probably not be coming here again. read more

Rupa quit guys! If you usually book with her and want to continue with her she is at a new location still sugaring! Her name is still up to book here but it's just so they can divert your appointment to another person. Rupa is the best ever to work here and I myself have followed her to her new location and am continuing to go to her for my service. This business is shady and horrible, I would not recommend the place. Rupa made them good and now that she's gone i'm not interested in returning here. If you are interested in getting your sugaring done by Rupa, message me on here and I would happily pass you on to her, thank you! read more

Unfortunately, I will not recommend this place to anyone. 1) the absence of a master of any shugaring technique - one had the impression that she was doing this for the first time. 2) based on the first point - VERY HURT. In the bikini zone master of shugaring glued sugar on the clitoris and of course when she tore off the sugar it was incredibly painful. How can you do this ???? 3) irritation on the skin. I do shugaring not for the first time, but for the first time I have SUCH inflammation on the skin. 4) sugar residues throughout the body. 5) Is it worth saying that I didn't get any smooth skin after the procedure (absolutely nowhere)? legs as if nobody touched and in the bikini zone "pieces" of hair 6) payment! I chose a full bikini,half legs and and underarm . master considered the cost of the Brazilian bikini and half legs as a combo, because it was supposedly cheaper. why brazilian bikini? I did a full bikini and of course it came out cheaper. after my remark the amount was adjusted. Eventually I got only spoiled mood and irritation on the skin. read more

I booked an appointment at 7:30 on 8/16. I showed up and they were closed. No email, no text, no phone call, no message. There were two other customers waiting there too with the same situation. They said they had a COVID scare and had to close, but that does not prevent them from calling me from home. I work two jobs- one at a hospital and drove an hour and a half back from Cape Cod just to make this appointment. Extremely unprofessional and inconsiderate. Did not offer any sort of olive branch after either and told me I could reschedule for two weeks later. read more

I went here for an eyelash lift/tint and it was one of the worst experiences I've had in the industry. Im originally from New York and have had lash lifts many times. My experience here first started with a very rude receptionist. I had had called while I was on my way over in an Uber because it began to snow and I told them I was running a little late... I was met with a rude response and attitude quote "Well..you have a 10 minute grace period. so". Needless to say I arrived within that time frame. As soon as I arrived I was rushed into the room. Jaylene was the name of the person who I was able to see. She told me that it was requirement for her to take pictures of my eyelashes before and after. I told her no that I wouldn't consent to that. ( I don't want my face being posted online ). When I was done with my appointment she gave me the mirror and it looked like absolutely nothing had been done to my lashes. When I went to check out with the receptionist she was having issue with the card machine and computer. While I waited for her to try and solve this issue I kept looking at my lashes and I told her that I was really disappointed in the way that they looked. (They were the worst I ever had). The receptionist the responded " Well I don't have any before and after pictures so I wouldn't know". Her machine was still not working and she said she would talk to management about how much I should pay or reschedule. At this point I knew I would NEVER return here nor would I pay for a service that wasn't even provided. When I got home I had to wipe off all of the crust left on my eyelids. AWFUL !!!!! read more

I have a super low pain tolerance so I wouldn't say this is an enjoyable experience BUT this is my second time sugaring and I'm super happy with the results! I waited about 6 or 7 weeks before coming back after my first appointment and there wasn't too much hair at all. I was comfortable not shaving during that time. I had Ruby this time and she was sweet and talked me through how long to wait next time and why. She also tried to be as thorough as possible and get the little hairs which I appreciated. The whole process was less than 5 minutes. I definitely suggest getting the soothing oil after your wax! The reason I took off a star was because Yelp currently has a promotion where you can get a free underarm wax and they told me the promotion had changed and it was only 50% off so I paid $10 which isn't bad but I wish they had honored the deal. I would have given 4.5 stars if I could! read more

I loveeee this one tech for sugaring, Genet absolute angel and super professional. She is the reason I go back but unfortunately my most recent visit my appointment was pushed back to 15 minutes the day of which was fine and I find out that the tech, Ayleen has to leave early and again things happen I've had a rushed session. First I did say, I'm very sensitive- she was ripping the hair out of my body with so much force she was banging her hand on the table and it hurts! This isn't my first time but my previous had been significantly less painful and my whole body was contracting and I was wincing. I was bleeding after afterwards. The whole appointment took less than 10 minutes and I mentioned before anything started this isn't my first time but my skin is SO sensitive. I'm still swollen, red and has bumps all over the sugared area. Very mixed opinions on if I'd recommend this place to anyone again. read more

Got my legs waxed for the first time and decided to give sugaring a try. I'm used to getting regular waxes but I usually get Brazilian so this was very new to me. I had a great experience! Jazmarie was my waxer and she did a great job. She didn't rush and talked me through the process. It did hurt but nothing out of the norm. I would definitely go again and I recommend this place. Book with Jazmarie if you can! read more

It was my first time getting a sugar peel. I got a full Brazilian so I was a little nervous. Ruby made me feel very comfortable. She was very knowledgeable about sugaring and explained the whole process. She was really friendly and did a great job. I'd recommend to her to anyone. read more

I've tried to come twice and had them cancel my appointment upon arrival twice. Don't even bother.

I'm surprised by all of the positive reviews. I went here 5 times for a Brazilian and it was incredibly painful. Also the rooms are right immediately outside the waiting room so there is little privacy when the attendant is going in and out while you are getting ready for the sugaring session.... it takes a really long time and to apply the sugar is as painful as removing. They have to go over the same area several times. I decided to stop going and try waxing and had a significantly more pleasant experience. I wouldn't recommend this place for a Brazilian. Some attendants are more experienced than others. There was times I was in and out in 15 mins and others where I was there for 45. read more
