Welcome to our journey through the world of sugaring. Today, we're shining a spotlight on Singapore, where sugaring is making waves in the beauty industry. Joining us is Michelle Lee from Sacchair Studio, who first encountered sugaring through a friend's recommendation. Intrigued by the natural hair removal method, she discovered Radeq Lab's innovative sugar paste via Instagram during the pandemic. She'll delve into how this cutting-edge lemon-free formula is redefining hair removal for sensitive-skinned clients and share insights on the growth of sugaring practices in Singapore.Â
Radeq Lab Sugaring: Welcome, Michelle. Could you start by sharing how you first learned about the sugaring technique and what initially piqued your interest?Â
Michelle: Absolutely! It was actually through a friend who introduced me to the sugaring technique. When they first mentioned using a sugar paste to remove hair, it sounded a bit unusual but intriguing. The idea of using sugar as a natural alternative to traditional hair removal methods like waxing caught my attention. I was curious about the process and how effective it could be, so I decided to give it a try. The combination of it being a more natural approach and my curiosity about its effectiveness made me interested in exploring the sugaring technique for hair removal.Â
RL Sugaring: That makes sense. It’s a unique method. How did you come across Radeq Lab Sugaring products, and what stood out about them?Â
Michelle: We first came across Radeq Lab Sugaring products through social media, particularly Instagram. This discovery happened during the Covid-19 pandemic when online platforms were crucial for staying connected and exploring new products. What stood out to us about Radeq Lab Sugaring products was the impressive background of the team in knowledge and science.Â
Upon further investigation, I learned that the CEO, Radek, played a significant role in strengthening and empowering the phenomenon of sugar paste through their innovative products. Interacting with him, I found him to be a sweet scientist, passionate about the effectiveness of sugaring. One unique aspect that caught our attention was that Radeq Lab was the first to invent an innovative sugar paste and sugar paste without lemon, showcasing their commitment to advancing and refining sugaring techniques. This combination of scientific expertise, innovation, and a lemon-free alternative made Radeq Lab Sugaring products stand out to us in the world of hair removal.Â
RL Sugaring: How have your clients responded to these products? Do you have any personal stories to share?Â
Michelle: The feedback from our clients has been positive since we introduced both the classic and signature premium prebiotic sugar paste options. We make sure to cater to the diverse needs of our clientele. One notable observation has been the positive impact on clients with sensitive skin or those prone to histamine reactions. We observed a notable decrease in adverse reactions among clients who have tried the premium prebiotic sugar paste. The prebiotic formulation seems to be well-received by individuals with sensitive skin, contributing to a more comfortable and effective sugaring experience for our clients.Â
RL Sugaring: That's really encouraging to hear! Shifting focus, can you tell us about the training process for sugarists in Singapore and how the sugaring industry is developing there?Â
Michelle: In Singapore, the sugaring industry is still in its growing stages. As of now, the training process for sugarists often occurs within the context of employment, as there are limited dedicated academies offering sugaring courses. This means that individuals interested in becoming sugarists typically receive on-the-job training from experienced practitioners or through specialized workshops provided by salons or businesses offering sugaring services.Â
RL Sugaring: It's fascinating to see how the industry is evolving. Finally, what advice would you give to new sugarists starting out on their journey?Â
Michelle: Maintain your passion for the art of sugaring. The initial stages might be the most demanding, but once you become accustomed to the process and gain confidence in your abilities, you'll likely find it to be a rewarding and satisfying practice.Â
Remember that every expert was once a beginner. Embrace the learning curve, stay dedicated to honing your craft, and you'll undoubtedly progress in your journey as a sugarist. The more you practice and stay committed, the more proficient and confident you'll become in the art of sugaring.Â
