frequently asked questions

  • Our sugar is manufactured locally by RH Brows & Beauty. It is comprised of sugar, water and lemon. Sweet, smooth, simple.

  • Our specialized sugaring technique is gentle and effective, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth with lasting results. Our 100% natural Sugar is applied soft (not hot) and removes hair with the natural direction of hair growth. This eliminates the hair by the root, exfoliates the skin and prevents the irritation often experienced with other hair removal methods.

  • Our service menu was created to include folks of all genders and identities. As such, you will find our services listed under the categories Folks With A Vulva: Those born with a vulva or who have had a vaginoplasty, and Folks With A Penis: Those born with a penis or who have had a phalloplasty or, orchiectomy.

  • Yes! If you wear a tampon or menstrual cup/disc, we can absolutely sugar your Brazilian while you are menstruating. Sometimes, the process may hurt more OR may hurt less. Everyone is different.

    Should your bleed arrive while you are prepping for your service, fear not! We keep pads, tampons, and disposable discs on site in our washroom.

Natalie was fantastic. Made you feel comfortable right away. Chatted like we were old friends. Will be returning. Would definitely recommend! - Tracy


Camillia is very pleasant, welcoming and easy to talk to. I noticed there were not reviews from males, so I wanted to contribute. This is a very welcoming studio for all types of people. They do a great job making you feel comfortable. - Jeremiah


Yesterday I had my first ever Brazilian, and as a plus sized woman I was very nervous to lay on the table and get this done as I wasn't sure what to expect. I booked with Rachel, who is so lovely! Rachel made me feel so comfortable during the appointment, she was thorough with explaining things, and provided great aftercare instructions! I was 100% satisfied with my appointment and results and will book with her again. Highly recommend booking here - Kayla


CLEAN, HYGENIC , & a comfy safe environment. Natalie was amazing and so very professional and pleasant to deal with. A great place for all your hair removal needs, trained staff, and great products to purchase for post sugaring. My daughter recommended the pampered peach and after my first appointment I knew this was a class act business. Why go anywhere else in Niagara?, when the pampered peach is a highly regarded and superior hair removal service. - Kathleen


Love love love! It’s been a couple of days since I visited and I had to post a review- the service here was incredible. There have been a handful of times I’ve been sugared/waxed and it’s so apparent to me that none of the other places I’ve been to have known how to perform these services on larger bodies. I LOVED the fact that the service bed was a bit larger than the typical ones I’ve been on. It felt so stable (normally I’m a little nervous to fall off), and it was just so comfy. I felt very comfortable during the sugaring and thought that the pricing was incredible for what I received. 10000% recommend for larger folks! - Samm
