The Sweet Spot is a Seattle based business, founded by Lara Olsha, in 2003. The Sweets Spot is a retail business, that employees licensed esthetician's. These licensed esthetician's perform many modalities from HydraFacial, make up, spray tan, trimming and tinting.The Sweet Spot's claim to fame is a process called sugaring. Sugaring is the oldest form of hair removal and can be dated back to early Egypt. Sugaring is performed with a natural compound composed of sugar, lemon and water. This consistency is warmed into a golden thick paste. The paste is applied along the area with hair growth. With a quick flick of the wrist the unwanted hair is removed. Sugaring seems to have benefits over traditional waxing. 1. Sugaring is natural as it is made from sugar, lemon and water. Wax contains resin and other chemicals that can irritate the skin. 2. Sugaring lasts longer by removing hair along the natural direction of growth, while waxing does the opposite. 3. Sugaring is more natural. Waxing also requires chemical solvents to clean off the wax, while sugar comes off with water. 4. Sugaring is more sanitary than waxing reducing the risk of bacterial growth and contamination. The sugar paste is hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic. In addition the sugar paste is prepared for individual use, while waxing uses a single pot of wax for multiple clients. 5. Sugaring is less painful than waxing. Waxing adheres to skin cells while sugaring only attaches to the dead skin cells. Sugaring application is only applied luke warm while wax usually needs to be pretty hot. 6. Sugaring can be done more often so you can maintain a more hairless look. Sugaring works on a hair that is only 1/8th inch long and that would be 7-10 days growth for most people. Waxing however requires 2-3 weeks growth. Sugaring would be a better option to waxing, when dealing with sensitive areas like the face.

History

Founder, Lara Olsha, formerly a respritory therapist, was guided into this line of work. In 2002 Lara's mother was diagnosed with cancer. This life changing experience inspired her to contribute her time to the "American Cancer Society’s Look Good Feel Better program". By providing complimentry beauty sessions, this amazing program helps woman with cancer to feel better about them selves. The program also bring these woman an empowering community of support. Lara favored this program and wanted to become a volunteer. There was a catch... Lara would have to become a licensed esthetician in order to volunteer. It was on her road to becoming a licensed estetician that Lara discovered Sugaring. Lara developed a passion for sugaring and eventually developed that passion into her own business. The Sweet Spot opened its doors in 2003 helping the public with their beauty needs.
