Cane Sugar Studio

Love this place! Carrie works magic with sugar and you’ll beg her to design your place after seeing the décor (and if you’ve somehow yet to hear, sugaring is far far greater than waxing).

Cane makes hair sugaring feel more reinvigorating and enjoyable than other places do. In all categories they are superior to any other place I have been to in the past, both in SF and on the peninsula.
the entrance to the studio is discreet: no loud signage or sandwich boards, just the street address number. you are immediately greeted and made to feel relaxed prior to your session. there is little wait before you go into the treatment room, just enough time to catch your breath and get ready.
the sugaring itself was very satisfying and enjoyable: just enough of the ‘rip’ sensation to have the mild tingly stimulation effect. Amy’s experience was palpable: she knew just how much of the mixture to apply, and the way to strip it with the grain. she made quick work of my back.
prior to Cane I was under the impression that redness and irritation were inevitable side effects of sugaring for men. my prior esthetician used high-​frequency and witch hazel to manage folliculitis/​breakouts post-​sugaring, with moderate success. With the Cane Hungarian mud treatment things are looking clear and good: I definitely did not expect my skin to feel this calm in the immediate days following sugaring.
the studio itself is a fun place to be in, I wanted to hang out in there. they had cool photos and magazines and the chairs, tables, drink ware, restrooms, hallways… everything drew me into the ‘vibe.’ the interior design and decoration itself is deserving of its own writeup
I sought out Cane, and I am very glad that I did. sugaring places proliferating and not everyone is competent. amongst the competent some stand out, and Cane is the one that stands out the most, out of the several other places I have been to. being exclusively sugaring makes a huge difference in the focus of the place, and the focused energy is readily apparent. It is clear that Cane is owned by those actually providing the treatments, as most other places will also do spray tans, facials, etc. the specialization I feel makes a huge difference in the quality of treatment.
tl, dr: the only place in SF which does sugaring exclusively. owned and operated by experienced estheticians who educate others in how to perform the services which they themselves provide. enjoyable and relaxed. Amy and Steph are the women to see for sugaring.

Amy is the queen bee! My brows have never looked so good. She and Carrie have created a welcoming business that values their clients and community. Enjoy the ambience, welcome drink and good jams.

Wow I’m so happy my gf introduced me to Cane and Stephanie! Sugaring is so much easier on my skin than waxing. After one sugar session with Stephanie I’m hooked. My back looks and feels amazing. She is so gentle and walked me through the entire process. Can’t wait to thin my hair out! Thanks Steph!

Eboni! I’ve been going to Eboni for all of my waxing/​sugaring needs for almost a year now. She is fantastic. Has a gentle touch, professional and always prompt. I’ve never left unsatisfied. Cane has a great atmosphere! Check em out!

Stephanie!!! I just got sugared for the first time and whoa! This is a game changer. Stephanie was so nurturing, calming, and totally helped get me through it. She was so sweet and kept me laughing throughout the entire service. I can tell she is passionate about what she does and I will definitely be back!

I went in for male sugaring service with Eboni, the place is very clean and Eboni was extremely professional. I was nervous at first, but she had great bedside manner and put me at ease. She explained the whole process and gave great aftercare advice on how to avoid in grows. My skin felt great and I am now a fan of both Eboni and sugaring. Definitely recommended!

Highest reviews! I’ve been going to Amy for sugaring for 4 years and wouldn’t go to anyone else. She’s the best. Professional, discreet, and sassy… Perfect combination!

Sugaring is greater than waxing, and Amy = the Queen of Sugaring. If you haven’t tried this service yet, you are missing out. Amy brought sugaring to San Francisco several years ago prior to opening up her own business at Cane and has since changed the lives of women all over the Bay. Not only does she do a fantastic job, but she is such a joy to be around. Not to mention the space that Amy and Carrie created here at Cane is super chic and welcoming. I love my visits to Cane, and you will too!

AMY AMY AMY AMY ! Girl is amazing ! Just read the other reviews!

I’ve been seeing Amy for several years now and she is amazing! I followed her from Habit in the Marina after she and the owner of Habit (Carrie) started up this place. Sugaring really is so much better than waxing, especially for sensitive skin and I can’t say enough good things about Amy, Carrie, Habit and now Cane! Amy is so fun and chatty and makes the whole process totally enjoyable. The space is absolutely beautiful– super modern, lush plants everywhere. Getting waxed is usually a not-​so-​fun-​and-​kind-​of-​painful chore but at Cane it feels like a relaxing spa getaway.

I’ve been going to Amy to get my hooha sugared for about 5 years now. She’s taken great care of me all of these years… and of course when I found out that she and Carrie were opening a new place, I readily followed. I’d follow her just about anywhere because the relationship you have with your sugarist is pretty special. I mean aside from The Husband, Amy sees my goods… in fact she’s the one that gets the goods ready for The Husband. Simply put, Amy’s amazing. She makes you feel so comfortable and at ease. Sugaring, while less painful than waxing, can still sting a bit… but she’s so great that you just don’t notice because you’re so busy chatting away with her. The Husband jokes that seeing Amy is basically like a mini-​therapy session for me as well. I adore and love her and I think everyone (guys or girls) should be going to Amy to have her take care of their goods. Plus go support local female owed businesses!
