Made In USA Photo Contest

Images. Photos. Pictures. Portraits.

These visual gems help us relate to our world in such an intimate way. At Tamara’s Professional Body Sugaring™, we love seeing the photographs that people post on social media. We delight in the ease with which we all can share via Instagram, too.

We also adore anything and everything Made In  USA. We’re very proud of the fact that we can say that our Body Sugar is Made In USA. In fact, most of our product line is Made In USA, manufactured on site in the Cascade Foothills of Washington State. Why is that important to us? Because just like shopping local is good for your local economy and stimulates its community, Made In USA stimulates a healthy national economy and strengthens our communities at large. It also fosters better safety regulations and more focus on environmental stewardship than many other places in the world. Last, but not least it provides more jobs.

Lastly, we love to share our love of professional body sugaring and all the positive things that comes from feeling beautiful in a healthy way.

Given all these things, we decided to run a special Made In USA photo contest for the next couple of weeks leading up and ending on Labor Day – our nation’s holiday to honor the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of the United States of America.

We want you to post any or all of your favorite Tamara’s Professional Body Sugaring™ products in your most “American” scene. Give us your version of Americana alongside America’s Sweetest Choice in Body Sugar. When you’ve got the photo you want to enter, post it on your favorite social platform, tag “tamarassugar” and then include the hashtag:  #TPBSMadeInUSA

After Labor Day we’ll decide our three favorite entries. The winning entries – 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd, will receive ္free Tamara’s Professional Body Sugaring™ products. First prize will win a full case of sugar; second place will receive a half-case of sugar, and third place will receive two products of their choice from our line. All Free!

Meet Rashelle

 

Even at six months pregnant, Rashelle Barney is constantly working to handle the overflow of sugaring clients at her spa Blush Olympia in Olympia, Wash. She has seen substantial growth of her clientele since starting to sugar.

 Even at six months pregnant, Rashelle Barney is constantly working to handle the overflow of sugaring clients at her spa Blush Olympia in Olympia, Wash. She has seen substantial growth of her clientele since starting to sugar.

 

“It’s hard turning clients away, it makes me feel horrible,” she said. Therefore she’s training more people to be sugaring experts like herself.

Barney first heard about sugaring hair removal in 2008 – three years after becoming an esthetician.

 “I was shocked that simply sugar, lemon, and water could remove hair without the harsh side effects of waxing!” she said.

 Becoming a skilled professional in it was a different story, however, she’ll tell you.

 

“My first memory of sugaring was: ‘oh my gosh, this is hard! I’m never going to be able to do this’. I had been waxing for years before switching to sugaring, so it was quite a difficult transition. I made myself stick with it, despite the challenges. Eventually it just clicked.”

 

It clicked enough that in due course she connected with Tamara’s Professional Body Sugaring™ a became a sugaring educator.

Barney said it surprised her that her students grasped the technique so quickly.

 “Wow, she’s doing so much better than I did my first time,” is something Barney thinks while teaching students, she said.

 

“It’s exciting to see them succeed and be able to share how wonderful sugaring is.”

 

She plans on continuing sharing sugaring with clients and other professionals – even after the baby comes.

 

“One thing I wish more people knew about sugaring is how great the results can be,” she said. “I think people just assume that hair removal means ingrown hairs, irritation, etc. I wish more people knew that there is a better alternative to waxing and shaving!”

 Barney specializes in her Brazilian technique, which she claims was the hardest thing for her to learn, but she said she stuck to it and became a pro at it.

“I chose Tamara’s products,” she said, “not just because of the convenience of her being local, but I realized her products are so much more user friendly. The sugar paste in general is easier to work with, it doesn’t leave the skin sticky, and I never get stuck.” She added that the support Tamara offers – always being available for questions – just makes working with her so very pleasant.

 A pleasant work environment is a great place for a mommy-to-be. It’s too soon to tell if the Barney’s expected child will follow in mommy’s footsteps, but, baby Barney will definitely know that mom loves her second job of sugaring clients.

Not Just a green thumb, but green hands

At Tamara’s Professional Body Sugaring™, we’re constantly trying to make our products better. We’re aiming for environmental accountability (organic, sustainable), made in America, and in general as responsible and conscientious as possible. There will be some new products very soon (so always come back and check this space), so stay tuned.

http://www.tamarassugar.com

Today, however, we want to talk to you about a product that we use in our processing and training and are now available for you to purchase.  It’s GreenDex™ Biodegradeable Gloves. They are made in the USA and they are the world’s first biodegradable nitrile glove.

Just so you know, no one has offered us any kind of sponsorship or monetary gain for talking or recommending this. We’re just convinced that this is a step in the right direction for our industry. It has always been our concern that we promote an eco friendly, natural, water-soluble service as professional sugarists, but yet we use Nitrile gloves that get thrown in the garbage and stay around in our landfills a very, very long time.  We’ve been searching for a glove that gave us the protection and usability that we need in my sugaring business. GreenDex does that. For the month of August you can order GreenDex gloves off of our site at the same price as less-earth-friendly nitrile gloves.

We’re so in love with this glove and the fact that it is environmentally responsible and made in the USA, that if post a photo via Instagram that you are using them, we’ll gift you something good for you and our planet. Be sure to comment here with the link to your instagram photo, or even better, tag me via Instagram @TamarasSugar.  Let’s all get a little green-handed! Can’t wait to see your green-hands in action!

When Your Name is On The Line

www.TamarasSugar.com

When you go to a party or family gathering and there are new people, you often talk about what you do for a living. “So, what do you do?” you’ll be asked, or even asked yourself. I have a bit of fun with that, because I love what I do and I love telling people about this great beauty secret, as well as my own product line.

Recently, a non professional found out what I did and was intrigued. They asked if they could purchase some of my professional standard sugar. I had to decline. Tamara’s Professional Body Sugaring only sells to licensed professionals who have been trained and certified in sugaring. I think this is important to protect the integrity of the service and out of respect for the licensed professional who have paid for their certification and worked hard to become experts in the sugaring service.

When you have your name on a product, you want to make sure that it is used properly and safely. Many beauty schools, in fact, sadly most, do not teach sugaring. They teach waxing. Therefore, Professional Body Sugaring is an advanced method of hair removal and it comes with a learning curve. It can take up to six months to master the technique of sugaring. Taking a hands-on class is the best way to ensure success and use the proper technique.

There are several companies out there that will sell to licensed professionals without training and that concerns me; there are some companies that will only sell to those who have proprietary certifications.  Tamara’s Professional Body Sugaring will accept other company certifications, but we also offer our own certifications. My goal is that the professional using our product is certified and providing expert service to the public.

If you happen to be a client of someone using the Tamara’s Professional Body Sugaring products, you know that they have been well-trained, certified, and are of the highest standards in this advanced hair-removal technique. I put my name on that.
