We teach the hand positions methodology. For context, there are two broadly known styles: (1) sugaring with hand positions and (2) sugar-waxing.

Hand positions helps reduce reliance on single-use items (like strips) often used in sugar-waxing—supporting lower waste and lower service costs.

  • Diagrams and short quizzes
  • Downloadable step-by-step PDFs for follow-along practice

Yes. We teach how to sugar facial areas properly, in addition to body sugaring.

We teach sugaring for all major body areas. Intimate-area training is optional depending on the program options you choose.

Completion time depends on your pace. Suggested learning time:

  • Body sugaring: 12–16 hours
  • Expert Brazilians (if elected): 3–4 hours
  • Mastering Manzilians (if elected): 3–4 hours

Yes (for the Sugaring Certification). You’ll submit 2–3 minute videos of your technique on key areas (upper lip, arms, armpits, legs, and bikini). Our educator reviews your footage and provides video feedback. If corrections are needed, you may be asked to resubmit.

Correct technique matters—improper form can cause client bruising (e.g., from too much pressure) or contribute to repetitive strain injury over time.

Yes (for Sugaring Certification; intimate courses are exempt). You may submit video footage of yourself. If possible, we encourage finding models (friends, family, or prospective clients).
