Tanning SalonHair Removal ServiceSpaBeauty Salon
At SUGARED + BRONZED, we’ve redefined the beauty experience by combining modern innovation with ancient rituals. We’ve revolutionized the airbrush tanning industry with our proprietary sunless FlexExpress® solution, designed to provide the best spray tan for a natural, streak-free faux glow that develops quickly and fades flawlessly.
Alongside our tanning expertise, we’ve revived sugaring hair removal—an all-natural, ancient Egyptian technique that serves as the best hair removal alternative to traditional wax. Our sugaring paste is all-natural made of just 3 ingredients: sugar, lemon, and water. This form of hair removal is gentler on the skin, leads to less breakage and fewer ingrown hairs, and is more affordable than waxing, making it the gold standard for Brazilian hair removal and sensitive skin treatments.
We are obsessed with providing exceptional services in beautiful, upbeat, and welcoming spaces. Our clients consistently rave that we offer the best spray tan and best sugaring hair removal they’ve ever experienced.
Ready to maintain your results? Explore our S+B memberships to save on your monthly Brazilian sugaring session or a custom airbrush tan and get more glow for your dough. Experience the best hair removal and sunless tanning at any of our locations nationwide.

Simplicity meets sophistication in our sugar paste recipe – a classic blend of sugar, lemon, and water, but elevated. Thanks to our unique 'liquid invert' technique, our sugar paste will give you the sweetest sugaring experience, pun intended. This innovative approach of using lemon juice to break down sugar (sucrose) into its simplest forms (glucose and fructose) breathes new life into an age-old formula, ensuring your treatment is nothing short of extraordinary. So exactly why is it better?
Enhanced Paste Texture: Breaking down the sugar into smoother forms results in a paste that's not only easier to handle but also grips hair more effectively. This means a more efficient removal process, translating to an elevated experience for your clients.
Consistency in Every Batch: Unlike standard sugar pastes that can vary batch to batch, our production method ensures that every tub you open has unparalleled texture consistency, which is essential to superior performance.
Longer Shelf Life: The natural tendency for sugar pastes to crystallize over time is cleverly mitigated in our product. Our liquid invert method maintains the paste's smoothness, ensuring it stays manageable and easy to use for longer. This not only means less waste but also ensures that you can rely on its quality, session after session.
Pick the perfect consistency for your skill level, hair type, and/or body part:
Soft: For advanced skill level only. Ideal for fine/soft hair on brazilian/bikini area, legs, arms, and/or face. Mix with our Medium Paste to achieve a Medium Soft Paste.
Medium: Best for intermediate to advanced skill level. Ideal for fine/soft hair on brazilian/bikini area, arms, legs, underarms, and/or back.
Firm: Best for beginners. Also ideal for thick/coarse hair on back or chest for all skill levels. Mix with our Medium Paste to achieve a Medium Firm paste.
Frequently Asked Questions About SUGARED + BRONZED (La Jolla)
What is sugaring?
Sugaring is an ancient Egyptian hair removal technique that uses a water-soluble sugar paste is used to extract unwanted hairs. Pretty, sweet, huh? A Sugarista (a SUGARED + BRONZED licensed, female esthetician) applies the sugaring paste against the natural direction of hair growth and then uses a gentle flicking motion to remove hair in the natural direction of the hair growth.
How is sugaring different than waxing?
Sugaring removes hair in the natural direction of growth, which is the opposite of waxing (which removes hair against the natural direction of growth). According to Web MD, removing hair in the natural direction of growth can also help to prevent ingrown hair. In addition, the sugaring process doesn’t involve sticks or strips, so there’s no need to worry about the possibility of “double dipping.” Each ball of sugar paste is only used for one client and is discarded after a single use. Lastly, sugar warmers only heat sugar paste to a lukewarm temperature (at maxium heat), unlike wax which is often heated to higher temperatures and poses the risk of a burn.
What is the FlexExpress Tan®?
The FlexExpress® is a revolutionary upgrade to our current formulas that allows it to function as a Standard Tan or Express Tan. We still have the same four Elixir options as we did previously, but the shower time options are much more flexible. It can be showered off as early as an Express Tan or it can be left on as long as a Standard Tan. The FlexExpress® can be rinsed off as soon as 1 hour post-session and stops developing after 3-hours post session. Leaving it on for over 3 hours isn’t a problem!
How long does my hair need to be to get sugared?
For best results we recommend that hair is at least 1/8” long. This would be about 14 days since your last shave or 1 month since your last sugaring or waxing session.
What is in the sugar paste (besides sugar)?
Lemon and water. That’s it. Seriously.
Is sugaring environmentally friendly?
Yes! The sugar paste is a biodegradable paste and the sugaring process doesn’t require application sticks or strips.
If I take Accutane or use topical products with retinol is it safe to get sugared?
We do not recommend body sugaring within 6 months of taking Accutane. We also recommend that you wait at least 1 week after using a topical product with retinol (on the area you intend to have sugared) before you get sugared.
I’ve started my period and I have an appointment for a Brazilian, should I reschedule?
Menstruating does not affect the sugaring process, although please keep in mind that females are often more sensitive to pain both immediately before and during their monthly cycle. If you want to get sugared during menstruation, we require that you use a tampon during your sugaring session.
Can I get sugared right before I get an airbrush tan?
Absolutely. Actually, we recommend it. The exfoliation and lack of shaving (especially if you get your legs or arms sugared) will help a spray tan last longer.
How long should I wait to shower after a FlexExpress® tan?
You can shower as soon as 1-hour post session or any time after that. If you shower within 8 hours of your session, we recommend a warm water rinse only (no soap) and refrain from applying lotions or cosmetic products to your skin, as your tan is still developing. If you shower 8+ hours after your session, we recommend using soap. You may workout/sweat any time after your initial rinse/shower.
What should I wear to my tanning appointment?
It is best to wear (or bring a change of) dark, loose fitting clothing and slip-on shoes. (There is cosmetic bronzer in the solution and there is a chance that it can rub off on clothing. It washes out of most materials, but it is better to be on the safe side and not wear anything light in color.) Flip flop sandals are available for $3.00 upon request at all S+B locations. In addition, many of our locations offer a curated selection of dark, loose fitting clothing that is ideal to wear after a tan. Some apparel items are also available for purchase in our online shop!
How long will my tan last?
This depends on several factors including your skin type, skin cycle, lifestyle, and care. It should last for the minimum of a week and has the potential to last as long as two weeks. The best thing that you can do to increase the longevity of your tan is to apply products from the S+B Sunless Tanning Collection once a day. Also, try to avoid activities that speed up your skin’s natural exfoliation process. Keep in mind that long showers/baths, hot tubs, heavy sweating, and swimming in saltwater and/or chlorine all tend to dry out your skin.
I have very fair skin, will a spray tan still look natural?
Yes, we will assist you picking the right Elixir for your skin tone. However, if you are new to spray tanning, we suggest selecting a lighter shade (Elixir 1 or Elixir 2) for the first session.
Why does my face tan fade faster?
This is due to several reasons. First, facial skin is thinner than skin found on other parts of the body. The face is also more exposed to the environment and endures more frequent washing. In addition, makeup, anti-aging creams, astringents, etc. tend to break down the tan more quickly. We recommend the S+B Sunless Tanning Mist, S+B Sunless Tanning Water and/or S+B Sunless Tanning Glow Drops for ongoing maintenance or signing up for one of our Signature memberships (The Single, The Double or The Triple membership) as they offer complimentary face sprays!
Will dry skin affect my airbrush tan?
Dry skin may cause the tan to fade unevenly. We recommend that you moisturize daily for at least a week leading up to your tanning session and continue to moisturize regularly after your initial post-session rinse/shower. Try: S+B Hocoba Oil®, S+B Fractionated Coconut Oil and/or S+B Moisturizing Soap
Is sunless tanning safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women?
The active ingredient, DHA, has never been tested extensively on pregnant or breastfeeding women. We simply request that clients ask their doctor for an approval before they book a session.
Can I get a spray tan if I have a sunburn or my skin is peeling?
We do not recommend getting a spray tan if skin is sunburnt or peeling. It is best to way until the sunburn has completely faded and/or the peeling has stopped before getting a tan. Please remember wear SPF in the future!
Will any of the spray get on my clothes or sheets?
Due to the fact that spray tans only affect the outermost layer of dead skin cells, it is not uncommon for sweating or natural exfoliating to cause the "tanned" skin to rub off, as our skin cells are constantly turning over. The reason that we don't see this with a UV tan is due to the fact that UV rays affect our live skin cells, which don't live on the outermost layer and therefore are not the first cells to slough off when our body sheds them.
Can minors come in for sugaring or spray tans?
Yes, however clients under the age of 18 require a parent/guardian present at the time of the waiver signing.
