Personal endorsement: After moving to Atlanta six years ago, I began a quest for a go-to waxer, visiting at least five places (testing multiple aestheticians at each) before meeting Raquel. In those days she worked in the back of a salon that also offered manicures and spray tans; it did not seem like the type of place that would employ an expert. But Raquel has the magic touch. I was so pleasantly surprised by her technique, I haven’t gone to anyone else. Raquel—who pioneered sugaring in Atlanta—now owns Sweet Peach, a specialty studio in Virginia-Highland. —Caroline C.

Sweet Peach Wax & Sugaring Studio
Swarms of stubble-free followers swear by Raquel Souza’s sugaring—a Middle Eastern practice that removes hair with a paste made from sugar, water, and lemon juice rather than wax. It’s less painful because the sugar adheres only to hair, not skin. Results also last one to two weeks longer than with traditional methods. The first to offer sugaring in Atlanta, the Brazilian aesthetician also specializes in body scrubs and facials. We love her line of all-natural waxes, scrubs, lotions, and soaps. Plans are in the works for a second location in Buckhead.
