Client Reviews

  • I booked an appointment with Sugaring NYC in Gig Harbor after seeing a promotion on Instagram for free underarm or bikini line sugaring for first time guests - I have gotten my eyebrows sugared but never either of those areas so I decided to try it! I booked my appointment online on 12/29/2022 for a 12/30/2022 appointment with whichever Sugarista was available. Athena was the esthetician who provided me with my first Brazilian (EVER!) and underarm sugaring. I was very nervous since this was my first time having either of these services done and I can't wait to be back! Athena made me feel comfortable & made sure that I was alright throughout the session. I walked out of the building feeling like a new woman! If you are hesitant to try sugaring for the first time.....do it! -JM (Yelp Review-2022)
  • I've been waxing for years, but today I was in a pinch and needed someone available on short notice to do my legs. I've never tried sugaring before, but there was availability so I figured I'd give it a try. I am so glad I did! Athena did both my legs and she was excellent. It was a great first sugaring experience and I can totally see going back to her. She was skilled, easy to talk to, and efficient with her time. I loved that the experience was much less messy than waxing. I would definitely recommend Athena and sugaring to anyone who asks. -BS (Yelp Review-2023)
  • Athena did an amazing job! Absolutely the best hair removal I've received in my entire adult life. She had wonderful communication and small talk during the procedure. There is numbing spray that works great. Athena is an absolute expert. I've received probably 100 hair removal services over the years, and she is the best. Also, she did an excellent job recommending a post-removal product for me. Avery at the front desk was warm, welcoming, and professional. There aren't many options for men. Sugaring NYC welcomes everyone and anyone, which is wonderful. I finally found the best place! Thanks! -MH (Yelp Review-2024)
  • Athena is the best!! Appreciate her quickness and positivity! I've been to this location three times now and always have a good experience, easy to book and really like the exfoliates they sell. -LN (Yelp Review-2024)
  • Athena was incredible! I was super nervous for my first time getting waxed. It wasn't that painful overall and she made sure I was super comfortable. I was impressed. I will definitely be coming back monthly. -LM (Google Review-2025)

  • Athena did my eyebrows and she was lovely. It was very gentle compared to other places I have been Sugared at. My skin is happy and so and I! -KW (Google Review-2025)
  • I've been here a couple of times throughout the past year and they are always so sweet. I had Athena today for a full Brazilian and she was amazing. Got every little hair, was super duper sweet and fast. The best place and girl to go to! -SF (Google Review-2025)
  • I have been waxing for years, today was my first sugaring experience. It was less painful than waxing, with no residue. Athena was kind and professional, and fast. I am also pleased with the price, I bought a package. Will definitely be back. -EB (Google Review-2024)

  • Athena was incredible! After not sugaring for a few years it was awesome to have her make it as quick and painless as possible :) Incredibly grateful for her! -OC (Google Review-2024)
  • Cannot say enough great things about Sugaring NYC in Gig Harbor. My Esthetician, Athena was the epitome of professionalism. She made what can be an awkward experience SO not a thing. It was very comforting and welcoming to be treated with such respect and kindness. I'm going back again tomorrow for another Sugaring appointment and will continue to support this location because Athena demonstrates a high degree of knowledge and attention to detail and I look forward to treating myself and my body carefully and loving the skin I am in. Thank you Athena for helping me achieve that. -AJ (Google Review-2024)

  • I got a Brazilian sugaring done by Athena and it was great! I was nervous about the pain and she calmed my nerves and chatted with me through it so I was distracted. She was super personable and professional and I would recommend Sugaring NYC and Athena to anyone! -SR (Google Review-2024)

  • AMAZING! This is my first time getting a Brazilian with sugar and Athena did a wonderful job. Everything was clean, no awkwardness, great music, and she was super nice and easy to talk to. Not going to talk pain cause I have a high pain tolerance. 10/10 WILL BE BACK! -BS (Google Review-2024)
