Sugaring has the advantage of adhering primarily to the hair rather than the skin. This characteristic makes sugaring a gentler hair removal method compared to waxing. Because the sugar paste is applied at body temperature and works with the hair's natural growth direction, it reduces the likelihood of skin irritation and pain. This aspect contributes to a more comfortable experience for clients as it minimizes the risk of skin removal or damage that can occur with waxing, where the wax sticks to both the hair and skin.

Other options suggest characteristics that do not favor sugaring, such as using synthetic ingredients or requiring high temperatures, which are generally more aligned with waxing. Additionally, sugaring is not known to be more painful; in fact, many clients find it to be less painful than waxing due to the way it interacts with the hair and skin.
