Hi, I’m Nailea! I’m a Bay Area girl with a deep passion for skincare. After years of waxing myself and friends since and working in jobs that didn’t fulfill me, I decided to pursue what I truly love. I became a licensed esthetician and haven’t looked back since.

I started my professional journey in 2019 when I joined True Sugaring & Skincare in Walnut Creek. Sugaring quickly became more than just a job, it became my calling. I genuinely love the transformation in a good before-and-after, the satisfaction of clearing ingrowns, and most of all, the meaningful connections I make with my clients.

Hi, I’m Christina Harvey, a licensed esthetician with over 10 years in the beauty industry of hands-on experience in the art of body sugaring. I’m also the proud owner of Sugared Sol, where I not only serve clients but also share my passion through personalized, in-depth sugaring education and training. As an educator, my goal is to create a supportive and relaxed learning environment. I’m known for my patient teaching style and calm, approachable demeanor, which helps students feel confident and comfortable as they build their skills. Whether you’re brand new to sugaring or looking to refine your technique, I’m here to guide you every step of the way, with real-world insight, hands-on training, and a commitment to your success.

Serena Murdock is a licensed esthetician and sugar specialist who has owned and operated her solo sugaring business for over 10 years. Already serving as the Brand Educator for Free + True Skincare, Serena is now stepping into sugaring education with Sweet & True Sugaring Co. With years of hands on experience behind the treatment bed, she is passionate about helping estheticians build confidence, connection, and long term success in the beauty industry.

Hi, I’m Dasha! I’ve been an esthetician for almost 15 years, and I’m building The Flawless Collective in downtown Pittsburg, California. Before sugaring, I waxed full time. My first introduction was in 2014, with coworkers practicing on me. It wasn’t a great experience, and I wasn’t in a hurry to offer it myself.

Then I kept hearing from clients who loved their sugaring results. By the end of 2017, I decided I didn’t want to keep missing out because I hadn’t learned the skill. I came around, and I’m glad I did!

My favorite thing about sugaring is the RESULTS. Even after all these years, I get excited watching clients’ progress through regular appointments and home care. I love having another approach to offer alongside waxing, especially when someone is looking for something different.

Class with me is fun, encouraging, and supportive. You’ve already put enough pressure on yourself by deciding to learn something new and take it seriously. I’ll highlight your wins as we go, so you can recognize when you’re getting it right and feel more confident with your clients.

Application, flicking, and the way you use your body are my teaching strengths. We’ll pay attention to how you stand and move while you sugar. I encourage notes and video references where they help, so you have something useful to return to when you practice.

I understand being hesitant about sugaring because I was there myself. Learning it gave me another way to serve the clients who were asking for it. I love helping other professionals add that skill and bring care and passion to the service.

Outside the treatment room, I’m happily raising two wonderful children, going to concerts, and trying new restaurants. Whatever we’re doing, we ARE going to laugh!

Hi, I’m Elizabeth! I discovered sugaring at the ICES trade show on a field trip with my esthetics school. We stopped at a sugaring booth, and that was my first introduction. Before finding my niche, I offered lash lifts and facials. My own experience with sensitive skin and hair removal is what made sugaring personal for me. Once I found something that worked well for my skin, I wanted to share that experience with other people.

My favorite part of being a sugarist is building my business through education. I love explaining the service to clients, then seeing them connect what we’ve talked about with their own results. Helping someone understand their experience is really rewarding.

I’m an education-focused, hands-on instructor. I’ll demonstrate, let you try, and then work with you individually. You can explain a technique all day, but sometimes you have to get in there and practice to understand it. I want you to know why we do things a certain way.

Watching closely and finding the small adjustment is one of my strengths. Your hand placement, pressure, angle, skin tension, or body position can change how the sugar works. I love helping students notice those details and understand what to do differently.

If you’re nervous, that’s completely normal. Confidence comes with practice, and you can’t perfect a skill you’re afraid to practice. There’s room here to ask questions, make mistakes, get stuck, and try again. Every attempt gives you something to learn from.

I believe there’s room for everyone in this industry, and I’m definitely not a gatekeeping educator. If I learn something that can help you, I want you to know it, too! I take education seriously, and I want class to feel comfortable, fun, and like a place where you can ask me anything.

Hi, I’m Amanda! I started sugaring in esthetics school in 2016, and my first esthetician job was at a sugaring spa. I spent five years there developing my skills before opening my own spa, with a fiercely loyal group of clients who came along with me. I’m still so grateful for them.

Before sugaring, I focused on acne facials. I loved that sugaring was a relatively quick service with low overhead and clients rebooking every four weeks. It brought more consistency to my income. But my favorite part will always be the CLIENTS. I’ve been there for dating stories, weddings, and becoming parents. Being someone they trust with those conversations has helped me grow as a person, too.

Brazilians are my favorite service. I know that feeling of dread walking into an appointment as a client, and the confidence you can walk out with afterward. I love helping someone else create that experience.

I’ve taught with Sweet & True for seven years, and students often tell me I have a very zen presence. Early in class, I pay attention to how you process information and what your body language is telling me. You may need me right beside you, or you may need space to try it while I watch from across the room. Sometimes a quick break and a calmer mind make all the difference.

Building your confidence is a big part of my teaching. I’ll tell you what’s going well, give you something specific to adjust on the next strip, and remind you how far you’ve come. Watching a student finish the last strip of a Brazilian and turn to smile at me with that golden, fuzzy ball of sugar in their hand makes me feel like a proud parent. YOU DID IT!

We were all beginners once. Give yourself grace and keep practicing. I want you to leave excited about the skill you’re building and what it could mean for your business and your family.

Outside class, my English bull terrier, Stella, is the center of my universe. She’s a clown in a dog’s body. Feeding people is my love language, so I’ll probably offer you snacks on our breaks. I can’t help it. It feeds my soul.

Hi, I’m Raunette! I’m a San Diego esthetician, educator, and mentor with 27 years in the industry. I was introduced to sugaring in 2003 while working at a resort spa. Our new spa director told us she was taking wax out of the treatment rooms, and that we’d need to learn sugaring if we wanted to keep offering hair removal. None of us had even heard of it!

I’d been doing waxing and facials for three years. Trying sugaring on my own sensitive skin is what made me fall in love with it. What has kept me here is my clients. Some have followed me around San Diego for decades, and now I sugar their daughters and even some of their granddaughters. Monthly appointments and conversations can turn into something that feels like family.

Learning with me includes posture, a functional room setup, and bedside manner as well as technique. Advanced sugaring is a favorite of mine, especially female and male Brazilians. I want to help you find the services that make your work feel gratifying.

Students tell me my voice and tone are calming. In 20 years as an educator and mentor, I’ve learned that everyone absorbs information differently. Some people want to read it, some need to hear it, and some pick it up quickly by doing it. I keep my directions simple and pay attention to the person in front of me.

Being nervous is normal. Anything worth learning can feel hard in the beginning. I’ll point out your good flicks, the right pressure, and the moments when your posture comes together, so you can see your progress as we go. The things we say to ourselves matter, too.

Bring your business questions. I’ve been an employee, rented rooms in salons and a medical spa, spent seven years in a resort spa, and owned a spa with four treatment rooms for a decade. If I can help you avoid a hard lesson I learned along the way, I’m winning. I may know some things!

Beyond sugaring, my practice includes facials, energy work, and mentorship. I’m double Reiki certified and enjoy incorporating breathwork and affirmations into my facial work. Away from the studio, I’m a mama of four sons and two dogs, a beach and festival lover, and a lifelong multitasker. I grew up with three brothers and played soccer for 15 years. I work hard, and I do what I say.
