Sugaring Maintenance
Here at Essential Maintenance we love hair removal! It’s one of our favourite things to do and that comes across in the consistent, thorough treatments we provide. We’ve been trained by the best – Kim Lawless ‘the waxing queen’.
In 2018 we trained with London Sugaring Co. and became the first Sugaring salon in Bristol and have never looked back! Not only is sugaring kinder to skin and less painful, it reduces the hair growth, leading to permanent results. We loved it so much we now teach Sugaring!
Our products are chosen for their effectiveness but are always 100% cruelty free and sustainable.

Sugaring....
Sugaring is an ancient art of hair removal that pulls hair in the direction of growth. Which makes it less painful and ideal for sensitive skin and intimate areas. Sugar paste is made from only sugar, lemon and water.

Testimonials
Had my lashes lifted by the lovely Becky and I am amazed by how brilliantly the treatment has worked! I have had it done at other places before but been disappointed with the result. My lashes look dark & curled & perfect when I'm at the gym, when I wake up in the morning, and it's saved me so much time already! Yeah, I woke up like this! ',„.-)Think I'm hooked!

Blown away by this place and the service that I've had here. You're made to feel welcome and at ease from the moment you walk through the door. Such a fan of of sugaring and today I had my first va-jacial following the sugaring, it was such a relaxing treatment and I left floating in a bubble of zen! Can not recommend this place enough, and the staff are alright I guess.

Rebecca is first class. My brows look fab and sugaring is so much less painful than waxing, with longer lasting results. If you are after quality service that is ethical and cruelty free, and someone you can have a laugh with, then EM is the place to go.
