The Sugar Shack

It was great! Nice person & job well done.
Love how clean I feel !! Thank you

I love love love sugaring! I’ve always preferred waxing over any other hair removal methods and sugaring is just a step better… all natural and the hair grows even slower. I have significantly less even after just a few times, it is amazing. I highly recommend this. Also, the facials are dreamy, my skin looks and feels SO much better. Julia is a perfectionist and I love that. She is amazing at what she does.

I have been going to Julia for years and haven’t wrote a review till now. Julia is knowledgable, pays attention to detail, professional, and simply amazing. I love getting facials and sugaring from her. Prices are a little higher than other places, but it’s worth it.

I met Julia 10 years ago by referral and have never used anyone else since. Julia is a perfectionist and master at her craft. Her attention to detail is uncompromised. I always fine her studio warm and inviting. Julia will put you right at easy and you can feel confident that everything is clean and sterile. You will be amazed at how different sugaring is from waxing. I will only sugar!
I love that Julia’s studio is right off the 5 in downtown San Juan Capistrano and parking is a breeze.

I go to Julia for all my facial needs. Whether its microdermabrasion or a blueberry peel, I know my skin is in good hands. I don’t trust anyone else with my skin. I go every three weeks and I get so many compliments on my skin.
I also have her sugar all the unwanted hairs on my face and arms. Julia is the best!

Julia is amazing! I have been a regular for at least a year now and won’t go anywhere else or go back to waxing!

I love this place! Julia is so efficient and very friendly. No other sugaring place gets the job done quite like the sugar shack. My 4^th visit and will never go anywhere else. She’s very fast too. It’s definitely nice to have someone trustworthy especially in that area haha

I love Julia! She is very professional, and super clean. I am not comfortable with just anyone, but Julia really put me at ease. She is super friendly, and she always tries to work with my schedule. She is awesome. I do not live close, I drive about 30min to 45min to see her. That should tell you how good she is. She is definitely worth it.

I loved loved going here because she is super friendly and puts you at ease… but way too expensive! Also, I started getting in-​growns from sugar waxing… sigh… so now it’s laser hair removal for me!

I went for my FIRST classic bikini wax yesterday afternoon. Julia was a sweetheart! She made me feel relaxed and she talked to me the whole time so my mind was not on the pain. Speaking of pain, I’m glad I did the sugar wax. It doesn’t pull skin off like hard wax and that was the reason I went to The Sugar Shack — less pain and great reviews.
I’m referring all my girlfriends to the Sugar Shack!
I gave it 4 stars because of the price — $ 45!

Julia is awesome. She really cares about the comfort and privacy of her clients and quality is of great importance to her. She is thorough, professional and has an impeccable salon room. My first sugar was a couple of months ago and my 2^nd one this week. Julia’s service is very consistent and I’m sold on sugaring. No more waxing!
Book in advance because Julia is a busy lady and appts go really, really fast.

So happy that I met Julia! I have never waxed and I never will! Julia makes you feel so comfortable with this slightly vulnerable process. I am a regular «sugar» girl, now! Already set up my 3^rd and 4^th appt!

Julia is AWESOME! Got my first sugar wax last week… i wont lie, it hurt, but I am beyond pleased with the results! She is very welcoming, makes you feel at ease, and is honest, quick, and fantastic at what she does! I will definitely be a regular client! If you want the best in OC, go see Julia!!!

Julia is the absolute best! Though sugaring is a bit more expensive if you have sensitive skin or are prone to ingrown hairs (like I am), it’s worth the extra cost.
Sugaring is better for quite a few reasons: 1) for sensitive skin it isn’t as irritating. Instead of my skin being red for a few days afterward, like it is with waxing, it’s only a bit pink for about 30 minutes. 2) The ingrown hair problem is virtually gone, or at least reduced by like 90%. 3) It doesn’t hurt as much as waxing (just avoid the week before your period) 4) Julia specifically is professional, friendly and always reminds you of your appointments.
Julia not only helps with my regular sugaring, but also sugared my legs for my wedding and helped me get rid of all the problems I had with ingrown hairs on my legs. The transformation is amazing.
I would recommend sugaring, and especially Julia to anyone who is frustrated and done with razors, depilatory creams, waxing and figuring out how to get rid of unwanted hair.

I agree with Jodi!
Being a hairy woman, I definitely needed help. Julia is so unbelievably sweet, professional, and good at what she does. Waxing/​sugaring is horribly painful regardless of No Scream Cream but it’s worth it!
I would strongly recommend Julia because 1) she has AWESOME customer service and will make you feel so comfortable through this very uncomfortable process and 2) sugaring worked better than waxing.

Julia is THE BEST! First of all, I’ll share with you that I am a hairy beastie… I’m about three hairs away from being a full-​on Sasquatch. I don’t know who was braver: me for wanting a Brazilian bikini sugaring prior to my trip to Costa Rica or Julia for taking me on as a client. I pilfered a Darvocet from my neighbor’s purse, slapped on the No Scream Cream, and headed to Julia’s.
Her work room is impeccably clean and yet warm and inviting. While the process itself isn’t comfortable, waxing hurts A LOT more. I always had a terrible problem with ingrown hairs whenever I would wax (bikini, legs, underarms, didn’t matter… my hair was pissed off), but not with sugaring. I was a smooth as baby’s ass for nearly two full weeks with nary an ingrown in sight (and I received RAVE reviews from my ‘happily captive’ audience :^)).
Sisters, spend the money. Go see Julia. You get what you pay for, so direct your beautification capital in the direction it will get you the highest and best result. Be smooth, my sisters, be smooth!

Julia is great, definitely the best. She’s always with a very postive attitude that makes you feel at home!
It’s pricey but worth it!

I LOVE JULIA!!!
I got my first wax in December and OMG it was not as painful as i thougt lol i will never go anywhere else… cuz she is amazing and is super nice! :)

This review is full of TMI, but whatever! For the sake of Unilocal,I will do it! This place is located right in Old Town Tustin inside «Salon Gallery». Julia specializes in sugar waxing down there. You know what I mean by down there — there as in hair. The downside about this place is that it is more expensive than regular waxing.
I found this place on Unilocal when I was searching for a closer place to do my bikini wax and decided to try sugar waxing since people say it’s less painful. Well, let me tell you — in the moment pain is pain. I don’t know if it is «less painful», but it definitely pulls out more of the hair follicles and doesn’t cause any hair breakage, resulting in less in-​grown hairs. Sugar waxing is also ideal for those with more sensitive skin.
I hadn’t waxed in about 4 months or so, so Julia promised me that the next time would be waay less painful. I can only pray. This time around I put on «No Scream Cream» and popped in some Tylenol to help ease the pain. The pain is worth it to me cuz I love that feeling after of being as clean as a baby’s butt.
By the way, Julia is super nice — I couldn’t have asked for a more entertaining, bubbly, sweet person. She is a total professional and made me feel completely at ease even as she was ripping away at my privates.
Edit: The overall experience was great, but after a couple weeks I did find a few ingrown hairs, which I usually don’t get with regular waxing — Odd. I think I’ll stick with regular waxing just because it’s cheaper and there doesn’t seem to be too much of a difference between the two.

I won’t go anywhere else. Julia so awesome — you won’t be disappointed.
Don’t forget to ask for the sugar as opposed to wax. It’s more expensive but less painful and better for your skin.
