Though naturally sticky sugar has proven to be a great hair-removal alternative to wax, wax is rarely recommended as a sugar substitute in cookies due to its penchant for catching fire and containing old hair. Sweetly smooth your surface with today's Groupon: for $35, you get $85 worth of body sugaring services at Seattle Sugar Bar in Tacoma.

The only sugaring studio in Tacoma, Seattle Sugar Bar provides long-lasting hair-removal treatments for fuzz-burdened friends looking to lint roll their skin suits. Unlike wax, which often contains chemicals and is applied when hot, sugar paste comprises only sugar, lemon, and water and is used at room temperature to ensure utmost comfort and prevent follicle breakage that leads to stubble. Seattle Sugar Bar patrons experience the all-natural method via Alexandria Professional products, which are made by the only body-sugaring company to be approved by a national accrediting body, NACCAS. Stop by the studio to have an energetic and certified team member shape your brows, deforest your upper lip, or streamline the surface of your bushiest foot fingers just in time for slipper-wearing season.

Reviews

King5.com and Evening magazine named Seattle Sugar Bar one of the top five places for waxing services, with CityVoters raving about the benefits of the sugaring method.

• I've never had a bad experience at the Seattle Sugar Bar! The sugarists are always attentive and friendly! Sugaring is AMAZING compared to waxing, much less painful :) – Lindsey A., Cityvoter
• After my first session I knew that waxing would never be part of my life again. I was immediately on the phone telling my friends how amazing my first experience was…no ingrown hairs and unbelievably minimal growth. Not to mention that I'm no longer sweating and anxious with the pain of waxing. I'm officially converted. – Zahrugga, Cityvoter
