How Often Should You Book? Your Sugaring & Lash Maintenance Guide

When it comes to beauty treatments like sugaring hair removal and lash extensions, timing is everything. Book too late, and your results may fade; book too soon, and you might not get the best value out of your appointment.

At Bare Elegance in Cambridge, Ontario, one of the most common questions clients ask is: “How often should I come back for sugaring or lash refills?” The answer depends on your natural growth cycles, your lifestyle, and the results you want to maintain.

This guide breaks down the ideal maintenance schedules for both sugaring and lash extensions so you can keep your skin silky smooth and your lashes flawless week after week.

Why Consistency Matters in Beauty Maintenance

Both sugaring and lash extensions deliver the best results when done regularly. Here’s why:

• Sugaring: Removes hair from the root. Over time, consistent appointments weaken the follicle, so hair grows back finer and slower.
  
• Lash Extensions: Follow your natural lash growth cycle. Regular refills prevent gaps and keep your lashes looking full.
  
  

Think of beauty maintenance like fitness—you’ll see the best results with consistency, not occasional visits.

How Often Should You Book Sugaring?

Sugaring is a natural, gentle alternative to waxing, and it’s especially popular for legs, underarms, and Brazilian treatments. The frequency depends on your hair growth, but here are general timelines:



Face Sugaring (Brows, Upper Lip, Chin)

• Every 2–3 weeks
• Facial hair grows quickly and is more visible, so shorter intervals keep your look polished.
  
  

Underarms

• Every 3–4 weeks
• Many clients love the smooth, clean feeling of sugaring underarms and find monthly visits ideal.
  
  

Arms & Legs

• Every 4–6 weeks
• Body hair grows slower than facial hair. With consistent sugaring, growth becomes softer and sparser over time.
  
  

Bikini or Brazilian Sugaring

• Every 4–6 weeks
• Staying consistent ensures less discomfort and smoother results with each visit.
  
  

💡 Pro Tip: Avoid shaving between appointments. It disrupts the cycle and can make hair grow back thicker or coarser.

How Often Should You Book Lash Extensions?

Unlike sugaring, lash extensions are tied directly to your natural lash growth cycle. Each lash naturally sheds every 6–8 weeks, and extensions shed with them. Without refills, gaps quickly appear.



Lash Refills

• Every 2–3 weeks
• Keeps lashes looking balanced and full. Waiting longer often means you’ll need a new full set.
  
  

Full Sets

• Every 6–8 weeks (if you skip refills)
• Sometimes necessary if too many extensions have shed or if you want to change your style.
  
  

💡 Pro Tip: Treat lash refills like haircuts or nail fills. Regular maintenance saves time, money, and keeps your look consistent.

What Happens If You Wait Too Long?

Delaying your appointments has its drawbacks:



• Sugaring: Hair grows unevenly, making the results less smooth. If it grows too long, your next appointment may feel more uncomfortable.
  
• Lash Extensions: Gaps appear, lashes look uneven, and your refill may take longer—or require a new full set.
  
  

Sticking to your schedule ensures each appointment is easier, faster, and more effective.

Factors That Affect How Often You Should Book

While these guidelines are a good starting point, every client is unique. Your personal schedule may vary depending on:



• Hair growth rate: Some people naturally grow hair faster, especially on the face.
• Lash cycle: Genetics, health, and lifestyle all affect lash shedding.
• Daily routine: Swimming, sweating, or using oil-based skincare may shorten lash retention.
• Special events: Weddings, vacations, or big occasions may influence when you book.
  
  

At Bare Elegance, our technicians will work with you to create a maintenance plan tailored to your needs.

How to Extend Your Results Between Appointments

Consistency is important, but the right aftercare helps maximize your results.



For Sugaring:

• Exfoliate gently 2–3 times a week to prevent ingrown hairs.
• Moisturize daily to keep skin soft and hydrated.
• Avoid shaving between appointments.
  
  

For Lash Extensions:

• Clean lashes daily with a lash-safe cleanser.
• Avoid oil-based products and waterproof mascara.
• Brush lashes gently with a spoolie to keep them neat and separated.
  
  

💡 Pro Tip: Good aftercare leads to better, longer-lasting results—saving you time and money in the long run.
