SUGARING HAIR REMOVAL IN LEWISTON, MAINE
Bridgette Goulet is a licensed aesthetician inside Tucci & Co Salon at 1065 Sabattus St, Lewiston, Maine. Sugaring runs from $10 to $200 across 17 services, for face and body. Hours are Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM and every appointment is booked online through Vagaro.
WHAT SUGARING IS
Sugaring removes hair with a paste of sugar, lemon and water applied at body temperature. The paste grips the hair and lifts less surface skin than resin wax, and it rinses away with water rather than needing an oil based remover. Many clients choose it for reactive skin or for areas that feel sensitive with wax.
Bridgette sugars brows, lip, chin, sideburns, underarms, arms, legs, chest, stomach, back, bikini and Brazilian. If you would rather use wax, the same areas are on the waxing menu.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Arrive with about a quarter of an inch of growth and clean dry skin, with no lotion or self tanner on the area that day. Tell Bridgette about retinoids, acids, medication that thins the skin or recent sun exposure before she starts.
Expect the skin to look pink for a few hours. Keep the area cool and clean for the first day, skip heat, heavy sweat and swimming, and leave exfoliating acids for a couple of days. Cancellation and reschedule terms are on the policies page.

SUGARING IN PRACTICE
At the appointment, the biggest difference from waxing is how the paste is handled. I work the sugar paste onto the skin with my hand and flick it away, rather than spreading wax and pulling a strip. There are no strips, and anything left behind rinses off with water, so your skin is not left sticky.
Your first visit, step by step
I start by asking about your skin, any products you use and any area that feels sensitive. I cleanse the skin, then work in small sections so you always know where I am. You feel a quick pull with each section. When I finish, I clean off any residue and go over aftercare with you before you leave.
Getting ready
Let the hair grow to about a quarter of an inch. Exfoliate gently a day or two before, not on the day itself. On the day, keep the area clean and dry and skip lotion, oil and self tanner so the paste can grip the hair.
The days after
For the first day, wear loose clothing over the area and skip heat, heavy sweat and swimming. After a couple of days you can go back to gentle exfoliation a few times a week, which helps keep hairs from getting trapped as they grow. If a spot feels irritated, keep it clean and leave it alone, and message me if you have a question.
Spacing your appointments
Book your next visit when you see about a quarter of an inch of growth again. Keeping a steady rhythm means more of the hair is at a similar stage each time, which makes the appointment smoother.
Bikini and Brazilian appointments
I know these appointments can feel awkward, especially the first time. I explain each step before I do it, work efficiently, and you are welcome to tell me if you need a pause or want to know what comes next. Nothing you mention about your body or your skin is unusual to me, so please ask anything.
SERVICE AREA
Studio services (facials, lashes, brows, waxing) are at Tucci & Co Salon in Lewiston. Wedding makeup is on location in Maine and beyond.
SUGARING QUESTIONS
Sugaring removes hair with a paste of sugar, lemon and water. The paste sticks to the hair rather than to living skin, and it rinses away with water.
Sugaring at Bridgette Aesthetics starts at $10 and runs to $200, with every price and appointment length listed on this page.
Many people find it more comfortable because the paste lifts hair without pulling as much surface skin, but comfort varies from person to person and from area to area.
About a quarter of an inch. Sugar paste can grip slightly shorter hair than wax, but two weeks of growth still gives the cleanest result.
Keep the area clean and cool for the first day, skip heat, heavy sweat and swimming, and hold off on exfoliating acids for a couple of days.
Yes, gently, a day or two before your appointment. Skip exfoliating on the day itself, and come with clean, dry skin with no lotion or oil.
Rebook when you see about a quarter of an inch of growth again. Keeping a steady rhythm makes each appointment smoother.
I explain each step before I do it and work in small sections. You can ask for a pause at any time, and nothing you ask will surprise me.
