An establishment called Sugared and Bronzed appears to be destined for 1815 Wisconsin Ave., according to materials filed with the Old Georgetown Board.
When I first read that, I thought perhaps it was some sort of a cookie shop or the like. Sadly no. It’s about as far from a cookie store as you could get. It’s a waxing and tanning salon. Where does sugar come into it, you ask? Well according to their website, they use basically a big glob of sugar to tear the hairs from your nether regions:
What is Sugaring Hair Removal?
Sugaring is an all-natural method for body hair removal that has its roots in ancient Egypt — (oh hey Cleopatra)! Our organic hair removal technique is eco-friendly and the healthiest option for your skin. Our sugar paste is made in small batches using just three natural ingredients: lemons, sugar, and water. No chemicals, no preservatives, just nature’s best. Seeking a sustainable, and hypoallergenic solution to banish unwanted hair? Sounds like you’re ready to sugar! Unlike hot wax treatments, our sugar paste is applied at body temperature, so it won’t burn. It’s gentle on the skin, making it the perfect choice for those with sensitivity. Say farewell to painful ingrowns and hello to smoother skin. Results last 4-6 weeks, regular sugaring sessions lead to finer and sparser hair regrowth.
It might be natural, but it still looks and sounds pretty painful!
The “bronzing” part of the business actually involves airbrushing, not UV rays. So while that’s less “natural” it sounds a lot better for your skin, honestly!
No word on when they might open.
