Hair removal is an essential part of grooming for women. While traditional methods like shaving and tweezing have been around for ages, they may not be the best options for sensitive areas like the bikini area, underarms, and face. Fortunately, there are several hair removal techniques that are gentle and effective for these delicate areas. In this article, we'll discuss some of the popular hair removal techniques for sensitive skin, including sugaring, waxing, and laser hair removal near Calgary.

Dermaplaning is becoming popular, thanks to the power of YouTube and social media. And when anything becomes more prominent, people have questions—what is dermaplaning? Is it safe? What benefits will I get from doing it?
We sat down with Aleasha Ewert, one of our resident estheticians and skin experts here at Byōōdē Bar, to get the lowdown on this skin treatment.
Q: So what is dermaplaning, anyway?
A: It’s a gentle and effective exfoliant for your face. I use a medical scalpel to get close contact with the skin, gently scraping off the top layer of dirt and dead skin to leave a smooth finish.

Summer is almost here, which means the heat is coming and carefree days relaxing by the pool are just around the corner. The last thing most of us want to be doing in the sweltering heat is worrying about our beauty routine—plus, mascara running down our faces hasn’t been “in” since the emo days nearly 20 years ago (!!). Luckily for you, it’s totally possible to ‘automate’ your routine for a low-maintenance, high-performance look.

Our esthetician Sarah offers laser hair removal, and clients often ask the same things. We know permanent hair removal is a bit of investment, so let’s answer your most common questions
Does laser hair removal actually work?
When it comes to laser hair treatments, all are not equal. The machines that are used range from inexpensive and ineffective, to top-of-the-line and worth every penny. The machine we have at Byōōdē Bar is the highest quality, which means better results in fewer visits. Even the best laser machines need more than one visit to achieve maximum results because the hair follicle needs to be in the right growth phase to be successfully “disabled,” but you shouldn’t need to come in more than a handful of times to get results. Beware the discount places that require 20+ sessions to achieve results—they often don’t work and are just a waste of your money. On paper it may look like a great deal (you can go so many times for such little money!), but in the end you’re committing far more time to end up disappointed.

Sugaring
Like we covered in April's blog post, sugaring is a gentle and effective method of hair removal that uses actual sugar, lemon, and hot water to get the job done. Sugaring sticks to the hair but not to the skin, making it a less painful option over waxing and with results that typically last longer. Plus, it's safe for virtually any part of your body!
