Sugaring (sugar paste hair removal)
The method we know today as sugaring traces back to ancient Egypt: a simple blend of sugar, water and lemon juice, warmed gently and applied to the skin. The practice is attested for over 4,000 years and belongs to the beauty rituals of that era.
Ancient origins
Over the centuries, sugar paste remained a natural option: no synthetic resins, easy-to-understand ingredients. Modern technique keeps the same idea — removing hair while respecting the skin — refined today in a salon setting with up-to-date hygiene protocols.
Cleopatra’s inspiration
Queen Cleopatra, famous for her beauty rituals, is said to have used similar methods to keep her skin smooth and radiant. A sugaring session can be seen as a quiet continuation of that tradition: natural, detail-oriented, comfort-led.
Unlike many wax types, the paste sticks mainly to the hair shaft, not the surface of the skin, which often makes it gentler and well suited to sensitive areas. At Radanović Marinela we bring that ancient heritage into the present — clean results, comfortable temperature, safe technique.
Image note (if you use procedure photos): sugaring connects today’s practice with Egyptian tradition and the elegance associated with Cleopatra — royal-level care, reinterpreted in a modern salon.
