Bend’s outdoor lifestyle means your hair removal routine needs to keep up with skiing, hiking, biking, and all the adventures Oregon offers. Sugaring provides a natural, effective alternative to traditional waxing using an all-natural paste made from sugar, water, and lemon juice. This gentle technique removes hair from the root while causing less irritation than conventional methods because the paste adheres only to hair, not living skin cells. At Radiant Day Spa Bend, we offer professional sugaring with Marianne, a certified educator for Tamara’s Sugar.
Located in the Wagner Shopping Mall, our Bend location provides convenient access to this ancient hair removal art performed by one of the region’s most qualified practitioners. Marianne’s certification and expertise ensure you receive comfortable, effective treatment whether you’re trying sugaring for the first time or maintaining a regular hair removal routine. Experience the difference certified expertise makes in natural hair removal.
Sugaring is an all-natural hair removal technique using paste made from three simple ingredients: sugar, lemon juice, and water. Applied at body temperature against the direction of hair growth and removed in the natural direction hair grows, this method differs fundamentally from waxing. The technique reduces hair breakage, minimizes painful ingrown hairs, and provides a more comfortable experience than traditional hot wax applications.
The all-natural composition of sugaring paste makes it an excellent choice for sensitive skin and anyone seeking chemical-free beauty solutions. Because the paste only adheres to hair and dead skin cells rather than living tissue, it causes significantly less irritation than waxing. Over time, regular sugaring weakens hair follicles, leading to finer, sparser regrowth. Results last three to six weeks, and many clients find sugaring less painful than waxing, with each subsequent session becoming progressively easier.
Professional sugaring effectively removes unwanted hair from virtually any area of the body where you want smooth skin. Popular treatment areas include legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, facial hair, back, chest, and more. Marianne customizes each treatment to your specific needs, hair growth patterns, and comfort level, ensuring thorough results whether you’re seeking full-body hair removal or targeted area treatments.
Marianne brings certified expertise as a Tamara’s Sugar educator to every sugaring appointment at our Bend location. This advanced certification means she not only performs sugaring at the highest professional level but also trains other practitioners in this specialized technique. Her deep knowledge of sugaring ensures you receive the most comfortable, effective treatment possible from someone who truly understands both the art and science of natural hair removal.

Arrive with clean, dry skin free from lotions, oils, or deodorant. Your hair should be at least a quarter-inch long for the paste to effectively grip and remove it. Avoid sun exposure, exfoliation, and retinol products for 24 hours before your appointment. Wearing loose, comfortable clothing helps prevent irritation after treatment and allows you to feel relaxed throughout the session.
Most clients find sugaring considerably less uncomfortable than traditional waxing. The paste adheres only to hair and dead skin cells rather than living tissue, significantly reducing discomfort. While you may feel a quick pulling sensation as hair is removed, the technique of removing paste in the direction of natural hair growth minimizes pain compared to waxing’s against-the-grain removal. First-time clients may experience more sensitivity, but sessions become progressively easier as hair grows back finer with regular treatments.
Results from sugaring typically last three to six weeks depending on your individual hair growth cycle and the areas treated. With consistent treatments, many clients notice hair growing back progressively finer and sparser because sugaring can weaken follicles over time. Regular appointments help maintain smooth skin year-round while gradually reducing hair density in treated areas. Our team can recommend optimal timing between sessions based on your specific growth patterns.
Located in Bend’s Wagner Shopping Mall, Radiant Day Spa provides professional sugaring services in a welcoming environment. You can enjoy shopping, dining, and river walks before or after your appointment, making your sugaring visit part of a complete self-care experience in one of Bend’s most attractive areas.
Let your hair grow to at least 1/4 inch long (about the size of a grain of rice), which usually takes 10-14 days after shaving. A few days before your appointment, gently exfoliate the area, but skip exfoliating 24-48 hours before to avoid sensitivity.
Come to your appointment with clean, dry skin—no lotions, oils, or deodorant on the treatment area. Avoid caffeine the day before, as it can increase skin sensitivity. Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment to minimize irritation afterward.
Sugaring is generally less painful than waxing. You’ll feel some discomfort since hair is removed from the root, but most clients describe it as a quick pinch rather than intense pain. The sugar paste sticks to hair instead of skin and is applied at body temperature (not hot), making it gentler than wax.
Many clients find the discomfort decreases with regular appointments as hair grows back finer and softer over time.
Most clients enjoy smooth skin for 3-4 weeks after sugaring. Results vary based on your hair growth rate and the area treated—some areas may stay smooth even longer.
With regular appointments every 4-6 weeks, you’ll see even better results over time. Your hair will grow back finer and more sparse, and you may be able to go longer between sessions. To extend your results, exfoliate regularly, moisturize daily, and avoid shaving between appointments.
I’ve been getting sugared consistently for over 7 years and have seen my fair share of sugarists—so I can confidently say that Marianne is truly exceptional. I go to her for full Brazilian sugaring, and as you can imagine, that’s a very vulnerable service. But Marianne has an incredible way of making you feel totally comfortable. She is professional but also extremely personable. It never feels transactional.
