Sweet 185

Be kind to your body. That's the message, and the mission, of the staff, services and organic boutique at Sweet 185. Conveniently located on Upper King Street, Sweet 185 is Charleston's pioneer sugaring studio. Head to this eclectic day spa for an alternative to your typical wax, in the form of a sugaring treatment. Sugaring, an ancient Egyptian tradition of hair removal, uses an unheated mixture of sugar, lemon juice and water, and is gentler than wax treatments. Sweet 185 sugaring is conducted by experienced sugarists, who have undergone months of training and are passionate about their techniques. Sugaring can be applied to all areas of the body, with affordable rates: brows and underarms $22, legs $129-168, bikini $42-58 and Brazilian $70-75. Sweet 185 also offers lash tinting, holistic massage and oxygen therapy, as well as wedding day prep and pamper sessions. Walk-ins are welcome, though advance reservations are recommended!
