Getting rid of unwanted body hair is one of life’s chores, but our Skincare specialists are here to make it simple, painless and less of a chore. We are one of the few area spa’s to offer Alexandria Sugaring, a fantastic all natural hair removal system and alternative to waxing. Sugaring is an all natural, less painful and long lasting hair removal solution. It’s even gentle enough for the most sensitive skin and wont leave red marks like waxing. Plus, sugaring also removes hair as short as 1/8 of an inch, no more awkward periods waiting for hair to grow in.

But why are we writing about this now? Well, the more removal treatments you have the less hair will grow back, so that over time hair is far less noticeable. Also if you’re prone to in-grown hairs a sugaring treatment paired with exfoliation treatments will reduce the number of in-grown hairs. We get a lot of questions about Sugaring feel free to send us yours, info@pratpartners.com

Still, don’t just take our word for it, here ’s a recent review of our sugaring services from the Washington Post Metro. Click the image below for a larger version.

Weren’t able to make it to the opening of DC Fashion Week at the IFC/World Bank Fair Trade Fashion Show? Here’s what you missed… a Beautiful photo documentary of a recent trip to Kenya, bright, bold and beautiful clothing by Asian, Latin American and African designers. There were over 500 guests all their to support this cause. All of the designers work with microfinance initiatives and fair trade in their developing countries. The models were gorgeous. And the crowd had lots of fun…(especially when the guys came down the runway-but you didn’t hear that from me!) Our K Street team (Jacqui, Mac and Monica) were proud to provide Hair Styling for the show and can’t wait for another opportunity like this to support such a great cause! Thanks to Photographer An Van de Wal of Lumiere Photography for the great pics.
