Sugaring is the ONLY way to remove unwanted hair... and Jada is the BEST! Highly recommend this location, and this sugarista!

I usually get sugaring right before vacation, and after trying a few places, I finally found my go-to spot at Sugaring NYC. The environment is welcoming and comfortable, which is exactly what I was looking for. From the moment I walked in, the receptionist was super friendly and helped me check in quickly. The salon itself is spotless, and I appreciated that. After a short wait, my sugarista came out and immediately made me feel at ease. Unfortunately, I don't remember her name, but she was fantastic--explained every step of the process and kept a light conversation going, which really helped distract me from any discomfort. To be honest, it barely hurt, thanks to the small talk! I was thinking about sugaring a few other areas, but she gave me honest advice and suggested against it since I didn't have much hair to begin with. I appreciated her professionalism and wish I could remember her name to request her next time! Overall, Sugaring NYC provided a great experience, and I'll definitely be coming back for my pre-vacation sugaring sessions. read more

I started coming to this location after Columbus Circle closed down and always have a great experience. They always start on time, and the sugaristas are great. Elizabeth worked on me today and was so patient, since I put on moisturizer before which made waxing difficult but she put in the time and was cheerful about it. read more

I've been to this place three times and unfortunately, my third visit will be my last. My first two experiences were great. The sugaristas were kind, professional, and really understood how to make a painful process as comfortable as possible. I felt supported and at ease, for a service as invasive as a full Brazilian. However, my most recent visit was awful. I wish I remembered the name of the person who helped me, but I was too overwhelmed by how painful and uncomfortable the experience was. Unlike the others, she lacked any sense of bedside manner, which should be a given for such an intimate and sensitive service. she had the nerve to tell me I needed to work with her, like my reactions to the pain were an inconvenience to her. At the moment, I tried my best to cooperate with her because I understood her perspective but clearly, she didn't understand mine. A Brazilian is already an exposed and painful service, and it requires compassion, patience, and professionalism. Her attitude showed she had none of that. I paid for the services and they're not cheap. I saw some long hairs left behind on my leg and brazillian area. I still tipped her because I understand it's not easy work! Not sure which training day she missed but it's like she shouldn't be working in this sector. I'm disappointed, and even though I had planned to be a frequent customer originally, I won't be returning after this last visit. read more

This was my first sugaring appointment after10years of waxing! This was life changing and will NEVER go back to waxing!! The place was so cute and clean!!Hope made me feel comfortable, explained everything and answered all the 100 questions I had! I found a new home!! read more

Terrible customer service by the manager of this location. And as evident by other reviewers. Their online booking system incorrectly booked me to the wrong date and I had not been aware until receiving text messages that this would be a no show and they charged me a no show fee. Even after calling and stating this 'appt' was no where on my account, the manager was not understanding. I've been a customer to Sugaring for 5+ years and never missed an appt once. Not sure if it's just this location since nomad I've had much better experiences. Regardless due to this terrible manager and awful customer experience, not coming back now; i go to S+B instead which has a much better price point and customer service! read more

Natalia at sugaring upper east side truly blessed this sugaring/waxing newbie. For a second after my appointment I was walking funny and I was like, oh no what have I done, but the feeling subsided after about 10 minutes. She didn't miss a single hair, was super conscious about my comfort/minimizing the pain, and distracted me on the sensitive bits that needed distracting from! It was my first experience with any sort of hair removal after doing laser 5 years ago and only a few of the areas hurt at all. The leg portion was honestly relaxing lol so unless you're doing a Brazilian I can say the pain is minimal. Our sensitive bits are our sensitive for a reason, but even that was over before I knew it! I can't recommend Natalia enough she really killed it! read more

I know the tech did something because it hurt like heck but struggling to see the results. Will stick with Sugar and Bronzed going forward. Left there with baby soft skin. read more

This place is fast and always has seen me on time. The sugaring is definitely less painful than waxing and Katherine was very friendly and supportive read more

Last couple of times Hope has been my sugarista and she's been amazing! Professional, patient, and knowledgeable.

Not even one star....I used to love coming here and randomly I had my appointment canceled last minute with no warning. When I rescheduled the next day and called ahead of time to alert that I'd be running a few mins late I was told it's fine--to find out they couldn't see me because they booked another appt too close back to back. The person at the front desk was rude and unhelpful. Don't come here, spend your money elsewhere! read more

I recommend this location anytime I use their services always so helpful and understanding! Always worth it! I haven't been in a while Africa was helping me very caring and knowledgeable welcomed me right back with open arms she's amazing read more

This location is really nice and clean. I recommend the Sugarista named Katherine because she was very friendly as she did the sugaring procedure. She was also very precise and gentle with how she completed the waxing. read more

I've had mostly good experiences at this location, however, my most recent experience makes me question whether I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I was "help" by Renee. I was running a few minutes late and got to my appointment at exactly 10 minutes grace time. The door was locked. After giving it a moment someone opened it. I was told that she already canceled my appointment and will be charging me. This means that it was definitely cancelled within the 10 minute grace period. She was rude and very unwilling to help and insisted that bc I was there at the 10 min mark (even tho the door was locked & I could not get in) she marked me as a no show and will charge me. Her tone and attitude was appalling and finally another sugarista helped me. Sugaring NYC should look into who they hire to work with customers. I've been a customer for over 4 years and I am reconsidering using this company bc of this experience read more

Just went to this location for the first time. Elena was great-very kind and was able to really minimize the pain.

I have visiting this location once before and had a very positive experience. As such, I booked a new appointment--more than two weeks in advance--to return this coming Monday. I received an email today telling me my appointment was cancelled. I called to see what had happened and was told my aesthetician would not be working. I was confused as I had not requested any specific person. The explanation I was provided made no sense, and I was told I could rebook for either in the middle of the day, or 8pm--neither practical times. The services here are good, but if you can't trust that you'll actually receive them, seems foolish to attempt to book. Extremely not recommended. read more

Facility was clean and beautiful, staff was friendly. Technician was knowledgeable and kind. However, this procedure is extremely painful if you have coarse hair. I didn't deduct stars because its no ones fault that I didn't google to find out what this was. I presumed it worked like waxing, where it would be yanked off promptly. I was grossly unprepared to have a ball of sugar rolled around pulling at my hair. I had my underarms done and it was the worst feeling, and left behind a lot more hair than waxing. Unfortunately the procedure isn't for me so I won't be returning, but if you're a fan this would be the place to get it done. read more

Came to sugaring NYC because I'm well into my third trimester and shaving just isn't an option! It was only my second time ever getting waxed but first time getting sugared and I cannot recommend it enough! Renee was amazing and her attention to detail was unmatched!! She made the whole experience so enjoyable and comfortable for me - she alone won me over to sugaring!! Thank you again for everything, Renee!! read more

I'm always a bit of a scaredy cat with sugaring lol, but Rose Pinero was so great! Super professional, calm energy, did exactly what I asked - nothing more or less, and appointment was super quick. Everyone sugars differently so I'm glad I found my person! read more

Aaliyah was fabulous! Personable professional and friendly. She explained things thoroughly and I was very satisfied with my first experience. I highly recommend coming to see her. read more

I had a great experience at Sugaring on Lexington Avenue i usually get waxed and this was my first time getting sugared lol and it was amazing! Elena B who was my esthetician was very attentive and very funny, she walked me through the whole process and kept me laughing the whole time . She gave me a lot of insight on what sugaring is and how it's great for the skin plus it's organic ! I would highly recommend this place and i already told my friends about it ! I'm proud to say i can't wait to go back in 5 week read more

Sugaring NYC - Upper East Side - Organic waxing place - Sugaring Near Me - New York, New York

Beyond frustrated with this establishment. There's always something going on with the scheduling as of lately. I'm either always waiting even with an appointment or my appointment is getting cancelled. I've called customer multiple times and no answer. What's the point of having a customer service number?The only reason I go to them because it's closer than the Columbus Circle location which I haven't had any issues with. Are their services great absolutely is the headache worth it you can be the judge of that yourself. read more

I had the most horrible experience yesterday after coming to this place to get my wax for 4 years the receptionist was soo ghetto did even know i was sitting right there and was talking about how much I should be tipping after I already tipped $15 she wanted me to tip 6 more dollars because she didn't have change to give me I had to send my husband out to do their job and get changed every time I come here is a different receptionist but this one was by far the most rude one. I don't think I'll be coming to this location anymore. I posted a whole review and somehow it got deleted it was horrible i hate businesses who live off their clients but won't even treat their clients with respect like who talks about their client while they sitting right infront of them and TIPPING IS OPTIONAL I REPEAT OPTIONAL WHY SOULD I BE TIPPING 21 dollars on my service because you don't have change i sat there for 30 min waiting on change till my husband showed up i had to tell him to run around and get change basically the customer is not running around to get the business change it's disgusting i didn't come here to to run around i came here to get a service done this place over all just went down hill with the customer service i spent well over 170 yesterday to get such disgusting service! read more

Terrible service, I've been a loyal costumer to this spot for years and I always see new people but I've never had an issue with them. But now i don't know who they have hiring but they are hiring people with no customer service or social skills just incredibly rude. I came in late because I was driving during a storm,therefore traffic started pilling up and finding parking was another issue,making me 15 minutes late, previous policy was 15 to 20 minutes which I thought was still present. As I showed up Renee one of the waxers was at the reception desk greeted me very rudely and said I couldn't get a refund and didn't know if I could be seen today, I was trying to explain to her what made me late and that I saw on the website various availability for the day. She continued to be rude and saying she couldn't see me for the day,mind you I never asked for her to see me and then she was away to as the real receptionist came and was able to call her manager to ask her for refund on the money, which she said would be taken for the payment for today overall appointment. I stated I was okay with waiting for Aliyah to get back from her break as of course we all deserve our break and I was willing to wait till she came back. The receptionist was kind enough to ask for Aliyah if she could take me before her break, but of course she said no as Renee loudly was telling Aliyah in the back before she was asked how rude I was and had an attitude. Extremely unprofessional of Renee. Aliyah of course had an attitude with me after her coworker began problems and I didn't want to be seen by her after feeling attacked and left with no refund for a fake no show as I did in fact show up but was attacked by ridiculous staff. So yeah go to any other location but this one. As a pregnant woman I did not feel safe by how the staff was treating me. read more

Africa was extremely sweet and quick. I appreciate that she applies pressure after each pull, makes everything less painful.

I used to love this place. I can't get regular waxing because my skin is too sensitive. I just moved back to the area and I had an appointment scheduled and last minute they canceled on me with no alternate solutions and said there was only one person working that day. So fine. Rescheduled for a day after work, 7 pm. Day of the new appointment, ANOTHER text saying the appointment has yet again been canceled because only one girl is working and she had a family emergency. I'm sorry she had an emergency but only one person working and constantly canceling on loyal clients? Service was MUCH better in Astoria. I'm so disappointed. I don't know where else to go and I'm honestly at my wits ends. Now I have a third appointment rescheduled and the woman on the phone seemed very inexperienced and rude. Did not offer any solutions at all. So I now have my third scheduled/rescheduled appointment coming up Friday after work. I'm fully expecting another last minute cancelation because it's become a trend. Such a let down. read more

My friend put me on, love it here, and love Africa!! coming back for sure. Even the music, best sugarist place lol

I seen Eva reviews and decided to book her at this location and I'm happy I did she was straight to the point very attentive with her work and gentle she left me clean as a whistle! not to mention shes super funny she had me laughing the whole time! great vibe read more

Hey, all I wanna say this is the place to go for first timers getting full Brazilian wax. great technicians, great service and great first experience. This is the place to go. read more

I am the biggest baby when it comes to pain! I have had Brazilian waxes before and I would always dread going. I did it because I have corse hair - and it's everywhere! I thought I would give sugaring a try. I watched many YouTube videos on it and it seemed to be a good alternative to waxing. Today when I walked in for my appointment I was promptly greeted! The place is clean and cute! When I entered the room, it was pristine clean! Julia was amazing! She talked to me the entire time and the whole thing took maybe 15 minutes. It was soooooo much better than waxing. Although there were some painful spots, for the most part, the pain was tolerable. I will return for sure!!! Thanks for a great experience l!! read more

I came back to Sugaring NYC early this year to get my Brazilian 'sugared' off. I used to go to the FiDi location since it was closer to my job but stopped going in March of last year due to the pandemic. Once I felt COVID was more manageable, and vaccines were being distributed, I felt comfortable going back to sugaring. I was excited to see they opened a location on the Upper East Side! It is close to me since I live in the Bronx and I was working from home. Now that I am back to commuting to work every day and work at a different location, the UES shop is my permanent spot now. Today was my third visit, but the second time with Amy. She is fantastic and professional! She makes me feel very comfortable and makes my experience enjoyable as well. Sugaring NYC provides excellent and safe service. I recommend anyone who wants to get back into their grooming routine and go to Sugaring NYC. read more

Super quick service with very gentle and kind staff. Prices for sugaring are very fair. Probably some of the fairest I've found in the city. Everything is kept very clean and it's appointment only for safety. My esthetician was Elena and she was so friendly. Overall, a pleasant experience. I've already pre-booked my next appointment! read more

I was able to walk-in and get my underarms waxed. Great service (as always) and love the location being close to where I live. Always a satisfied visit Too bad 25 days ago I felt this way--I had to change this rating because I went to an esthetician and received an abscess the size of a golf ball under my arm. Had to go to the ER to get it drained and now I'm on antibiotics for a week. This location is my issue, and honestly I shouldn't have gone to someone who doesn't know how to treat my body. Aka if you're white you shouldn't be waxing a person of color. I've never had this issue elsewhere. Last visit for sure. read more

Love this place! It's my go to when I need a sugaring appointment. The staff is always so kind and welcoming. My sugarista ended up being Renee who I've had several times. She is always so easy to talk to and easies any type of anxiety I have about the appointment. I've been sugaring for 6+ years now and Renee is the only individual I have met who truly loves her job. It makes all the difference as a customer. I can't say enough good things about her! If you are new to sugaring she is a great option for the service. She makes the entire experience enjoyable which I didn't know was possible in this setting. The rest of the staff has been wonderful as well. I went recently and was going to be ten minutes late for my appointment. I called the office and apologized because I know their cancellation policy. I asked if I could move my appointment to a different time with the hope that I could still get in. They immediately helped me and were more than accommodating. The customer service is outstanding! Definitely recommend. read more

BEFORE YOU GO HERE READ THIS REVIEW!!!! They claim to give you a 10 min grace period and it's a lie they cancel your appointment if the service is considered "short" at 5 mins which is completely against what the email and website states. The schedule is never accurate poor customer service and lack of consideration. They are basically located in a busy area with little to no parking. So I wouldn't suggest anyone go here you won't ever be seen. Also when making a review they will respond with slick back handed comments no professionalism at all save your money & time read more

So I really did not want to give this place a 1 star.. Because the person who waxed me was a very nice lady, I don't even want to say her name to blow her spot and what she caused my labia. So at first everything was going fine with the waxing, till she got to the lips and started to wax.. It seems that my lips according to her are too sensitive.. so she begins waxing my lips till the sugar wax caught my labia and pulled off a good SLICE of it she said that it appears my skin is too sensitive.. And said sorry and to put Bacitracin an antibiotic.. The pain was crazy and can't even walk properly for a week.. I can't believe that happened to me!! At least I did not have to pay after the accident read more

This place is incredible! Today was their first day open since quarantine and I had a great experience. It's incredibly clean and their new social distancing protocols are great. This was my first time going and I will definitely be coming back. Genet was incredibly thorough and kind. She walked me through everything she was doing and explained the benefits of sugaring. My skin has never been this soft and smooth. Highly recommend. read more

Everything was going relatively well until I went to look at my brows and noticed there was a spot of hair left which still needed to be removed. Problem is, the second I got up to look the tech had left and the receptionist refused to have her come back because "She's on break." And the receptionist said, "We don't shape, just clean up" which the tech had said as well but this was a clean up issue so that was said as an excuse. I was given a few dollars off but I would have much preferred to pay full price and have the full job done. Also, the bed felt like lying on a sheet of plywood on stilts which could definitely stand to be a bit more sturdy. Won't be going back to this location. read more

I love Sugaring NYC! I used to visit EWC but I'm happy I made the switch-- best decision ever. I've been visiting this location for the past year and had the opportunity to take advantage of 50% off if I opted to have services provided by Genet T. SHES AMAZINGGG!!!!! Genet was so gentle and precise. You wouldn't know she's a new employee. Very happy with services provided and end result. I even booked a future appointment with her. :) read more

First time ever doing a Brazilian and was super nervous. Irina was so awesome! Very sweet and distracted me by talking. The time flew by and it wasn't as painful as I thought. Highly recommend! read more
