Women-owned SUGARED + BRONZED in Point Loma's Liberty Station district launched its San Diego studio in late 2024, bringing a proprietary FlexExpress airbrush-tanning formula and all-natural sugaring method from the brand's 2010 founding. Sugaring uses a water-soluble paste applied against hair growth and flicked in the natural direction—the inverse of traditional waxing—resulting in less breakage and slower regrowth, a technique that pairs with the brow-shaping precision at Benefit Cosmetics BrowBar in the same Liberty Station retail cluster. The airbrush-tanning side uses a proprietary DHA solution sprayed by trained artists who customize shade depth by skin tone, with cosmetic bronzer providing an immediate color preview before the final tone develops over eight hours. Membership tiers—Simple Sugar, The Double, The Triple—bundle monthly sugaring and tanning sessions with rollover credits and reduced retail pricing. Pre-tan skin prep is critical to even absorption, a principle also central to the corrective-skincare protocols at Honest Skin across Point Loma. The most involved single visit combines a full-body sugaring session with a custom-shade FlexExpress airbrush tan calibrated for event-day timing.
