TESTIMONIALS FROM SPAS, SALONS AND CLIENTS
"Super Nail & Beauty Ltd are the distributor that took on the Phâro Sugaring System for the UK and parts of Europe in September 2010. The reaction we have had from clients has been excellent, they cannot believe how gentle on the skin the sugaring is. From Spas and salons, what is important to them is the cleaning up (wax is so messy) but with Phâro you just need warm water. Also they love the luxurious feel and the fragrance of the Manuka Honey. In fact a great product for us to be able to distribute for the New Zealand company."

"My name is Nicola Bale and I want to share my experience of the Phâro Sugaring System with you all. I am the biggest wimp ever when it comes to having waxing treatments done. Silly I know considering I am a qualified beauty therapist who carries out waxing everyday in the salon!!!! I only get waxed when I REALLY have to because of a couple of really bad waxing experiences that severely traumatized me.
"I was introduced to the Phâro Sugaring System by Supernail & Beauty Ltd, the main distributors in the UK for the Phâro system, with whom I work as a Nails Technology Educator. Given my experiences with waxing I was very wary with statements like ‘if you can wax you can sugar using the Phâro system’, or that with Phâro there was almost NO after pain, burning or redness of the skin. With some scepticism I attended the Olympia Beauty show this year with Supernail and met with Pauline the International Trainer for Phâro.
"I wasn’t however going to put my body on the line – no way! So I watched for a bit during the day - seeing all the results and hearing comment such as ...Amazing, it doesn’t hurt, no redness and not sore. I was intrigued. Could this really be true? Finally I mustered up the courage and allowed Pauline to do a small patch on my forearm and they were right - NO PAIN, NO REDNESS, NO SORENESS!!!
"The biggest test of all was a couple of days later when I decided to brave it and allow Pauline to do my bikini line. All the anxieties of my waxing traumas came back and I had to brace myself as it was hard to get out of my head that it was not wax but sugar. The gel went on, I gritted my teeth and Pauline pulled it off. Nothing! I barely felt a thing.
"I now only offer my clients the Phâro Sugaring System as their hair removal method. Phâro is an absolute god send for bikinis and Brazilians as along with barely any pain and there is no stickiness left behind as with waxing. Best of all clean up is a breeze and only requires warm water."

"Thank you for that Brazilian with Andrea. It was wonderful. Absolutely painless. Not sticky afterwards. No redness. Silky smooth, all the annoying little hairs gone.
"This wax is so amazing! Thank you."

"There I was cooking up own batches of Sugar on my stove top at home after finding a simple recipe of sugar, lemon & water on youtube. I was so impressed with the simple result from my own batch that I started searching for a professional brand. That is when I discovered Phâro Sugaring Systems. I am a strong believer in supporting New Zealand products and was pleased to discover that the Phâro Sugaring System is made in New Zealand.
"I really wanted to know if Sugaring was up to 75% less painful for people, so I asked for volunteers to have one leg strip waxed and the other sugared. My volunteers where prepared to give their video testimonial for a free wax, their video comments where edited and uploaded in my own youtube sugaring testimonial video. I tested both strip wax and sugar on a range of people including first time waxers, seasoned waxers, sensitive skin sufferers & men with more coarse terminal hair. Not one person left my beauty cabin wanting to be strip waxed again - the word on everyones lips - SUGARING.
"Some people hadn't heard of it, some people had, the commonality is that everyone leaves impressed after being sugared. The most rewarding experience from sugaring is being able to offer hair removal to people who normally can't tolerate strip waxing due to sensitive skin. Clients are experiencing less histamine reaction, less ingrown hairs, nourished skin and without a doubt less pain.
"We are taught at Elite that our hygiene standards are to be impeccable; that means decanting the wax, cleaning all equipment, and removing the hard stuck on wax from the roller head with a citrus clean solution. The clean up time is lengthy, sticky and requires gloves to be worn to protect against the harsh citrus clean. As a student learning to strip wax I can't count the amount of gloves I went through because I would place my hand where the wax was and end up with sticky gloves. The gloves can be cleaned off with teatree lotion but that's more product, more money, more consumption. The clean up with Sugaring is simply water. Just that - water and a cloth! The roller heads are placed in a warm bowl of water and the Manuka Honey, which smells divine, just dissolves off. I then sterilize the heads and they are ready to use within half the time I would have spent citrus cleaning. The rest of my Sugaring equipment wipes off clean and so easily.
"I'd love to see the Phâro Sugaring System used in our Elite campuses and become part of our client night treatment selection. Sugaring is reasonably new in NZ with salon's just starting to stock and offer the treatments, training student and offering Sugaring treatments at Elite would create an edge, more clients, and post graduate students with an extra skill to offer to a future employer.
"Lastly and most importantly the beauty industry needs more biodegradable products - welcome to sugaring. Be kind to our planet."

"I have recently used the Phâro sugar wax on a client and she liked the fact that there was no sticky residue as it is water soluble. She also felt that her legs were smoother and liked the smell of the manuka honey one of the ingredients in the sugar wax.
"It is very easy to use and clean up after so I am definitely sold on this product and concept!"

"Phâro sugaring firm and warm gel is all we use for Bikini and Brazilian waxing, we love it! Faster to apply and remove, less pain and redness and so easy to clean! Would definitely choose Phâro firm or warm sugar gel over traditional hot wax for Bikini and Brazilian hair removal."

"I had a look at the Phâro Sugar Wax because I was finding my existing hot wax extremely expensive. Eighty percent of my waxing is Brazilian. There is a lot a competition between salons as I have five beauty salons directly around me. So clients are always looking for the best deal. I had to get the cost of my Brazilians at least $15 cheaper than elsewhere without compromising on quality. Phâro was that wax that could do that for me. I can get at least 20 brazilian waxes per 700ml pot and each wax takes between 10 to 15 minutes in time. Since switching to Phâro sugaring my clients have noticed that their skin is far less irritated after a wax and the ingrown hairs have reduced significantly, on some people even stunted their hair growth. I love this product. I highly recommend this product to any salon wanting a safe, effective and efficient point of difference."

"We walk into the room and the smell of honey takes over the whole taste and sense of smell that intrigues the mind body and soul. Anticipating what will happen in the next hour that has been specially marked on the calendar for the last month each of us counting the days down to when we can see and feel what sugaring is all about. We are greeted with a warm smile and a polite handshake as Pauline introduces herself to each of us and tells us how happy she is to meet The Lost Spring team. We start with an introduction of the product, which is explained in depth with all eyes and ears listening to every word that easily flows from this confident and passionate woman.
"The room is prepared with beautiful warming pots and easy to use rollers, Pauline has thought of everything even down to gloves, scissors, and a selection of wax that will be used during training. As we prepare our client and leave her to get comfortable we enter the room and are promptly told that sugaring is water-soluble and uses natural Manuka honey, we are amazed that something so natural can be so effective, as we get to see. Care is taken in the preparation of the skin no powder is needed and the application of the wax is totally something new to us. We apply the wax in the way we have been taught, which is met with a quick rectification for not been done the non ”sugaring way”. After the skin is soothed with a fantastic blend of botanicals in an easy to use spray bottle we leave our lovely client to redress and thank her for being part of an amazing experience. Phâro will become a long-standing force to be reckoned with in the waxing empire.
"Pauline finishes the hour by offering more of her time when needed and encourages us to contact her any time with questions we may have. Having support from a supplier and friend is one thing that will make Phâro sugaring go to the top and be an international name."

"Pauline has treated me with a Brazilian using the Phâro brand and it’s been great, the growth of hair is slower and my skin is a lot less red. I haven’t been getting ingrown hairs, it’s quicker and a lot less painful. I also like that the product as it is water soluble so it’s not as sticky. I’ve been waxing for over 7 years and I would have no problems recommend to all my friends."
Hayley Robinson (Client)
"I highly recommend the sugaring system to anyone who has sensitive areas on their body which waxing may otherwise be used. My experience from sugaring was very positive and less painful then waxing , with the benefit of no ingrown hairs. For anyone who is looking for an alternative to waxing or shaving, sugaring provides an hygenic, less traumatic and effective way of managing those unwanted hairs. For women who are undertaking breast cancer treatment, this may be a safe alternative to waxing and shaving. Depending on the type of axillary surgery you have had, I recommend you speak to your surgeon or breast care nurse to see if this option is an appropriate one for you."

"Totally awesome! I have been using Phâro Sugar for the past four months and haven’t looked back, and neither have my clients. All have commented that there is less discomfort, and less skin trauma, and no sticky feeling afterwards. And it uses natural products. With no need too for long heating times, I can use the time and money saved for that extra coffee in the mornings. How much better could it get."

"We have used the Phâro Sugaring system in our salon for a month now. We have used it on some clients on many different areas including eyebrows, chest hair, bikini line, brazilian, arms and underarms. The results have been great as the clients find there is less redness, blotchiness and less overall pain as opposed to waxing. We have some clients with skin sensitivities who really love the Phâro Sugaring system. We highly recommend it."

"I had just started my beauty therapy course and was introduced to Phâro Waxing through Pauline. From the day I was introduced to it I can honestly say as a student and someone who uses it on myself that I can highly recommend it. There is less redness in the area waxed and I have also now sugar waxed a few people and they report that their hair is taking longer to grow back than usual and have also noticed less ingrown hairs from this method of waxing. I plan to continue on using this product even after I have finished doing my course, I think it’s less painful, causes less redness and less ingrown hairs so you can’t go wrong with this product."

"Please see my customer feedback on the Phâro Sugaring:
"Valerie - had a underarm hot wax treatment and the therapist that performed the treatment burnt my skin - the wax was applied too hot and skin was red and bleeding - after not had a wax treatment in the past three years I decided to try the sugaring system at Monique's Beauty Boutique - what a difference - firstly the sugaring was warm on the skin not hot at all - the sugaring was applied and pull off quickly and not much pain.
"Vickie - have always had my eyebrows waxed until coming to Monique's where I tried the sugaring gel which was warm on the skin and upon removal was not as sore and my eyes were not getting that usual sting when wax is applied, the best part was the redness was not too bright and not as long lasting.
"Gail - have always had my Brazilian done with hot wax which was always a bit hot and sometimes really sore on the skin - but since using the sugaring gel at Monique's Brazilians are just a breeze...
"Cathy - having always wax my legs with wax was painful and the redness seemed to last forever - but since coming to Monique's and using the sugaring gel it has been great where I noticed no pain at all which always used to make me flinch when using wax was the back of my legs behind the knees where the skin is pretty sensitive with the sugaring I did not feel the pain at all - great stuff this sugaring."
