What happens when the Sugar Mama meets the Sugar Daddy? A frank, educational, and surprisingly hilarious conversation about the specialized world of male body sugaring! Shannon welcomes Armando Gualtieri, founder of The Sugar Daddy - New York's premier sugaring studio exclusively for male anatomy - to share insights from his thriving practice.

Armando's journey from massage therapist and theater artist to sugaring specialist began with his own painful waxing experience (colorfully described as feeling like "someone had punched me in the butthole"). After discovering the magic of sugaring, he built a thriving business with an all-male staff focused on professional, expert care for clients with male anatomy, regardless of gender identity. His approach fills a crucial gap in the beauty industry, creating a safe space where transgender, non-binary, straight, and gay men all receive specialized care without judgment.

The conversation delves into professional considerations unique to male sugaring - from handling spontaneous physical responses to understanding the wide variations in service requests. They discuss how male clients tend to be exceptionally loyal, following instructions meticulously and maintaining regular appointments, though they often need simplified home care routines. Armando shares his expansion plans beyond sugaring into facials, body treatments, and hair growth services, recognizing opportunities to introduce men to skincare they might not otherwise seek.

For practitioners interested in male sugaring, this episode provides invaluable insights from two industry leaders. Shannon and Armando are developing specialized training through Love to Sugar, promising to elevate standards across the industry. Whether you're a sugaring professional looking to expand your services or simply curious about this specialized practice, you'll appreciate their candid, professional approach to a topic rarely discussed so openly.

00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:02.024
Welcome back to this episode of the Sugar Show.

00:00:02.024 --> 00:00:08.444
I am Shannon, your sugar mama, and today we are talking to the sugar daddy.

00:00:08.444 --> 00:00:33.929
It's so fun because when I first heard about him I thought, ooh, I'm loving the name Cause you know, for obvious reasons, I'm the sugar mama, but also I love what he does, and he has created a space in New York, right there downtown, and he is sugaring all men and he has an all men staff and they sugar male anatomy parts.

00:00:33.929 --> 00:00:53.262
So anyone, no matter how you identify, if you have the parts that you were born with as a male, that is who what Armando does and his team, and they are I say this over and over again, as you'll hear in this episode um, that I adore his staff because they are some of the coolest humans ever.

00:00:53.262 --> 00:00:56.832
Um, but they really are professionals and really good at what they do with their craft.

00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:21.498
Um, I will tell you that if you are prepared to listen to this episode and you are not someone who can talk about slang for body parts, um, we are very professional when we talk about it in the episode, but if that, if you are listening to this and you have small children around, you might want to pop your headphones in only because we do talk about parts Um and we do make some fun jokes, but it's all clean and professional.

00:01:21.537 --> 00:01:30.611
But it might not be appropriate for small kids that are hanging out and to this one, but it is just chock full of information for you.

00:01:30.611 --> 00:01:37.689
And Armando is the ultimate professional and it is an honor to have him on our education team.

00:01:37.689 --> 00:01:53.689
So my most favorite part of this episode is just how real he is and how we just get talking about how to handle things in the treatment room as it relates to the male anatomy.

00:01:53.689 --> 00:01:58.385
So, ladies and gentlemen, my episode with Armando Gualtieri Enjoy.

00:01:58.385 --> 00:02:11.770
I told you that you were going to have such a great experience today and here he is, my favorite sugar daddy in the whole wide planet.

00:02:11.770 --> 00:02:14.868
It's Armando Gualtieri, the sugar daddy.

00:02:15.580 --> 00:02:18.270
Hi, I love that you pronounced my last name correctly.

00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:20.966
Well, I've practiced and practiced.

00:02:20.966 --> 00:02:22.790
That's good.

00:02:22.790 --> 00:02:24.104
I'm very mindful.

00:02:24.104 --> 00:02:28.580
I'm very mindful and practiced.

00:02:28.600 --> 00:02:29.462
That's good, I'm very mindful.

00:02:29.462 --> 00:02:52.510
I'm very mindful, so we're going to get right into it, because so many people have been hearing about you and I just want them to get to know you, like I know you and we got a chance to spend quite a bit of time together in New York at the show, and now we're educating together and I want them to get to know you and your journey and how you can be of assistance as it relates to sugaring men specifically.

00:02:52.510 --> 00:02:58.653
So let's start all the way in the beginning with the Armando story, not even Sugar.

00:02:58.675 --> 00:02:58.914
Daddy.

00:02:58.914 --> 00:03:01.861
Yet what's the Armando backstory before the?

00:03:01.882 --> 00:03:02.883
Sugar Daddy.

00:03:02.883 --> 00:03:04.826
Yeah, there's a a lot of backstory there.

00:03:04.826 --> 00:03:06.028
Let me see if I can condense it.

00:03:06.028 --> 00:03:09.313
I think we all have a lot of backstory right, you're 29.

00:03:09.354 --> 00:03:09.735
What do you mean?

00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:14.645
there's not much you can live a whole life to 29.

00:03:14.645 --> 00:03:17.530
Um, I, um.

00:03:17.530 --> 00:03:37.312
I started out in the industry, um, by as a massage therapist in the spa industry, as a massage therapist in the spa industry, as a massage therapist, and I was doing that as a way to support myself while I was pursuing theater.

00:03:37.312 --> 00:03:47.264
So I was an artist, I'm a writer and an actor and a singer and a lyricist and a director, and I was doing all of that and an actor and a singer and a lyricist and a director, and I was doing all of that.

00:03:47.264 --> 00:03:47.906
That's what my dream was.

00:03:47.925 --> 00:03:58.822
But while I was dancing, I used to massage a lot of my friends and when I got out of college I thought, hmm, I'm a terrible waiter and I don't want to be in an office all day and I wanted to be in charge of myself.

00:03:58.921 --> 00:04:03.788
So I went to massage school and I've been a licensed massage therapist for 30 years.

00:04:03.788 --> 00:04:18.447
And while I was pursuing that and pursuing my theater career, at the same time I was starting to get disillusioned with the theater and starting to try and find something else that interested me.

00:04:18.447 --> 00:04:51.288
And skincare always interested me as an adjunct, because I was working in spas and health clubs that had spas and learning about skincare and I was so fascinated by it and I came to sugaring specifically because about 17 years ago I used to shave my body different parts right, we're talking about specifically my boy parts and when I got waxed the first time at a spa, I was like this is not for me and it was painful.

00:04:51.288 --> 00:04:53.708
I felt like somebody had punched me in the butthole.

00:04:53.708 --> 00:05:02.529
That was that's the first time I've heard that, so we can use that as one of our 10 reasons why.

00:05:03.220 --> 00:05:05.288
Won't feel like someone punched you in the butthole.

00:05:05.288 --> 00:05:13.608
It was like falling on your butt really hard and that feeling like oh, like you'd gotten kicked in the gut and I thought, oh, I'll never do this again.

00:05:13.608 --> 00:05:27.579
And then a roommate of mine had gone to get sugared and I went to get sugared and I was like this is magic, like sure it was uncomfortable, but afterwards my joke now with my clients is you'll be lying in front of you.

00:05:27.579 --> 00:05:31.802
A lot of, a lot of gay men watch real, real housewives I don't, but a lot of gay men watch real housewives.

00:05:31.802 --> 00:05:51.783
So you'll have your hand down your pants during real housewives just touching your balls, being like these feel so good just just because if the results are so good, yeah, so I had these results with sugaring 17 years ago and I got to know my sugars really well and eventually I was like I'm going to learn this, I want to start doing this.

00:05:51.783 --> 00:06:07.103
And that brought me sort of back around to skincare stuff too, because I wanted to learn sugaring and also be able to do the skincare specifically related to sugaring, because you and I talk about this all the time.

00:06:08.485 --> 00:06:09.930
What is your home care routine?

00:06:09.930 --> 00:06:15.007
How do you keep your back and your, all your bits your skin happy after your treatment.

00:06:15.007 --> 00:06:15.889
Um.

00:06:15.889 --> 00:06:28.495
So, anyway, I wound up coming all the way back around, or coming to sugaring, um, and I went to work for this person who was my sugarist, and that was.

00:06:28.495 --> 00:06:29.783
That was a short time.

00:06:29.783 --> 00:06:37.021
I got trained, went to work for him less than a year and then we had a pandemic.

00:06:38.384 --> 00:06:39.206
A little pandemic.

00:06:39.206 --> 00:06:40.848
A little pandemic.

00:06:41.529 --> 00:06:44.355
As the as the Gen Zs used to say, the pandemic.

00:06:44.355 --> 00:06:49.314
And I don't want to make light of it, but you know, sometimes you have to laugh in the story as the as the gen z's used to say, the pandemic.

00:06:49.314 --> 00:06:52.430
Um, and I don't want to make light of it, but you know, sometimes you have to laugh in the face of how terrible it was.

00:06:52.430 --> 00:07:11.473
Yeah, but we were all locked down at home and I had already started seeing clients, had already started seeing clients at the spa and on my own, and um, then I just kept it up with social media and once we were able to go back to work, I took a space, I started people again and by the end of my first year doing it, I was turning people away.

00:07:12.153 --> 00:07:12.334
Yeah.

00:07:13.420 --> 00:07:19.629
Because it was just me, yeah, and then I realized I needed to hire somebody and that this was a viable business.

00:07:19.629 --> 00:07:25.512
Yeah, and the name of the business, the Sugar sugar daddy, just kind of came natural to me.

00:07:25.512 --> 00:07:30.127
I mean, I'm in my daddy era as a as a man.

00:07:30.146 --> 00:07:31.348
Good.

00:07:32.050 --> 00:07:33.632
And so you know, it just seems.

00:07:33.793 --> 00:07:34.922
And you take care of everyone.

00:07:35.685 --> 00:07:37.189
And I take I try to take care of everyone.

00:07:37.189 --> 00:07:38.735
I do yeah you do.

00:07:39.137 --> 00:07:44.653
Now let's be very clear that while you do sugar gay men, you sugar straight men as well.

00:07:45.435 --> 00:07:46.718
Yes, oh, absolutely.

00:07:46.858 --> 00:07:48.642
Because men are men, men are men.

00:07:48.642 --> 00:07:50.526
Men have hearts that need help.

00:07:51.127 --> 00:08:05.512
Correct and not just genitals, but backs and chests and all of that and nose hair and you know, and that's very different from sugaring women because, you know, women sure have hair on their legs.

00:08:05.512 --> 00:08:13.230
But for instance, I have a straight client who comes in who has more hair than I have ever seen on a human being, from the waist down.

00:08:14.492 --> 00:08:15.553
He looks like Mr Did you see his?

00:08:15.793 --> 00:08:16.454
skin.

00:08:16.454 --> 00:08:19.928
No, he looks like Mr Tumnus from the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

00:08:19.928 --> 00:08:20.670
He looks like a fawn.

00:08:20.670 --> 00:08:23.129
He's just from the waist down he's just fur.

00:08:23.129 --> 00:08:27.704
He looks like he's wearing fur pants and he's a great guy.

00:08:27.704 --> 00:08:28.485
And he comes in.

00:08:28.485 --> 00:08:29.487
He said for hygiene.

00:08:29.487 --> 00:08:33.274
He's like I just do my crack because you know it's easier to keep clean.

00:08:33.274 --> 00:08:41.509
And I've been convincing them, though I said listen, at some point you're going to want to do the front with me, because you're never going to go back if you do it.

00:08:41.509 --> 00:08:46.255
Yeah, little by little he's creeping closer to it, yeah.

00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.370
Because he trims, and he trims there in the front, and so I wanted to do.

00:08:49.820 --> 00:09:00.613
You know, I do want to talk about parts for just a second with you, because you and I talked about this last week on, because we're creating, by the way, to let the audience know, we're creating this very cool class together.

00:09:01.254 --> 00:09:07.142
Extra, extra, yeah, hello together extra, extra, yeah.

00:09:07.162 --> 00:09:12.318
But what I do want to make sure that people understand is there are many different ways that you can sugar men, women.

00:09:12.318 --> 00:09:15.471
It's like Brazilian bikini you know which.

00:09:15.471 --> 00:09:16.836
Which level do you want?

00:09:16.836 --> 00:09:17.216
Your?

00:09:17.216 --> 00:09:20.390
You know your landing strip right, yeah, why do you?

00:09:20.390 --> 00:09:20.652
Want it.

00:09:20.652 --> 00:09:22.219
Is it a martini glass taco chip?

00:09:22.219 --> 00:09:23.322
You know, a landing strip?

00:09:23.322 --> 00:09:23.682
What do you want?

00:09:23.682 --> 00:09:24.024
Sure?

00:09:24.043 --> 00:09:24.284
with Is it?

00:09:24.304 --> 00:09:25.006
a martini glass, taco chip, you know?

00:09:25.006 --> 00:09:25.347
A landing strip?

00:09:25.347 --> 00:09:25.849
What do you want?

00:09:25.849 --> 00:09:35.485
Sure, with men, if you think about it, there are plenty of men who just want their crack, just want the crack of the tank, just want their balls, just don't want their legs, they want their butt cheeks done.

00:09:35.485 --> 00:09:36.640
There's different.

00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:40.307
You know areas that men need and they don't.

00:09:40.307 --> 00:09:52.442
For example, in the class we talk about, they don't get their legs sugared, some of them, and so they don't want it to look like they're wearing bare skin briefs, you know you've got to feather it in.

00:09:52.682 --> 00:09:53.725
It's got to look blended.

00:09:54.125 --> 00:09:58.181
There's blending involved without just, you know, sugar.

00:09:58.181 --> 00:10:07.971
There's a straight line and a lot of men I think there's a lot of sugarists that don't realize that if a man wants a Brazilian, that means a lot of different things.

00:10:08.379 --> 00:10:13.211
It means a lot of different things, to a lot of different men and to a lot of different spas and salons who do men.

00:10:13.631 --> 00:10:13.852
Yes.

00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:18.203
There aren't a lot of them, but yeah, I mean some of them.

00:10:18.384 --> 00:10:20.721
They don't want the entire top done, that's right.

00:10:20.721 --> 00:10:25.732
They just want the shaft, the balls, the taint, the boot the crack, leave the top.

00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:48.648
My biggest, probably the best seller on our service menu, is what we call the crack and sack and that means penis shaft, scrotum, taint and right around the anus or you know, right up the crack, and that's going to vary wildly from human to human because of the differences in the anatomy and hair growth and everything.

00:10:48.648 --> 00:10:52.143
But sometimes, and you want to do that so it looks natural.

00:10:52.143 --> 00:10:58.883
So some people will ask for something very specific and you know that's just customer service.

00:10:58.883 --> 00:10:59.905
You can do what they want.

00:10:59.905 --> 00:11:04.065
But I have a way of doing it that looks natural and if somebody wants an adjustment from there, we can.

00:11:04.466 --> 00:11:09.695
But that's to your point about there are different ways to sugar different people.

00:11:09.695 --> 00:11:16.730
With women there's a certain amount of variation, but with men the amount of hair is wildly different.

00:11:16.730 --> 00:11:24.350
I mean, the anatomy is going to be different for men and women too, right, from woman to woman, from man to man, it's going to be different.

00:11:24.350 --> 00:11:28.610
But what's the style, what is the, what do we want it to look like?

00:11:28.610 --> 00:11:33.508
And then learning to adjust to that customer, to that client.

00:11:33.807 --> 00:11:41.727
Yeah, I'm just going to talk about it because there are going to be some people that want to know about the trans population and how you handle that in your shop.

00:11:42.730 --> 00:11:50.524
Um, my shop is, uh, open to everyone, but we do specifically target men.

00:11:50.524 --> 00:11:53.072
We're all male estheticians, by the way.

00:11:53.072 --> 00:11:54.538
Yes, that's right, oh my love.

00:11:54.678 --> 00:12:03.808
If you're ever in new york and you're a guy, please go to sugar daddy's, because your staff, I I fell in love with all of them in new york, yeah you did all of them.

00:12:03.808 --> 00:12:07.563
And if I was a dude, I'd be like I have legs in the air for you, like I just adore you.

00:12:08.066 --> 00:12:09.067
So and I adore you guys.

00:12:09.067 --> 00:12:13.729
Jay and James both said to tell you hi, hi, mr James and Jay.

00:12:13.729 --> 00:12:17.900
Yeah, which sounds like it should be a 70s sitcom, mr James and Jay.

00:12:17.900 --> 00:12:26.294
The trans community there's so many gender variations now.

00:12:26.294 --> 00:12:35.951
Right, there's so many ways of talking about gender that I almost feel awkward saying we cater to men, but that's the quickest way I can get to the idea of what we do.

00:12:35.951 --> 00:12:40.270
So we cater to anyone born with a penis, right?

00:12:40.270 --> 00:12:44.350
Somebody that has a penis that identifies as female or non-binary, come on in.

00:12:44.350 --> 00:12:46.881
We work on trans men as well.

00:12:46.881 --> 00:12:50.308
We don't have as big a community of trans men coming to see us.

00:12:51.551 --> 00:13:16.065
But I think the problem for the trans community in general, and even for the non-binary community a little as well, is that there's a lot of talk in the news and in the social circles about the genitals of a trans person, right, there's always this curiosity Did a person assigned female at birth have top surgery?

00:13:17.187 --> 00:13:18.711
Have they had bottom surgery?

00:13:18.711 --> 00:13:20.254
Right, that's the thing top or bottom surgery.

00:13:20.254 --> 00:13:25.960
And a trans woman, somebody who was assigned male at birth, do they still have a penis?

00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:40.000
And obviously we need to know that as a business, right, because we need to know what we're working on, but there's an inordinate focus on it, a sort of prurient curiosity that comes from outside.

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:47.663
But we're a place where you can feel comfortable being whoever you are, and that's really vitally important.

00:13:47.663 --> 00:14:05.150
That's why we do also welcome straight men, because straight men who come into our space know that they're going to get expert care for their bodies and a trans person or a non-binary person, I hope they know also that they're going to get sensitive care, that we are just here to do the work.

00:14:05.150 --> 00:14:10.644
Yeah, being as straightforward and professional as possible with everybody is what you can identify however you like.

00:14:11.085 --> 00:14:14.640
Correct you just you have a penis and balls and you know you need them done.

00:14:14.640 --> 00:14:16.085
You need them smooth, right we?

00:14:16.105 --> 00:14:17.668
got you to bring it in.

00:14:17.850 --> 00:14:45.052
You know like bring all your parts, yeah, and you know that's really important to say as well, because um female parts in this conversation, you're you're not as savvy on how to do that as I am right, it's true, and I'm not afraid to admit that too, because I'm much better with you know, assigned male at birth, male parts we're talking about, about sex, uh, identification, right, male or female about body parts?

00:14:45.433 --> 00:14:54.851
um, yeah, we're, that's our expertise, and so we often tell um cis women who call or inquire we don't.

00:14:54.851 --> 00:15:06.537
You know, we don't service you, not because you're not welcome, but because there are other people who are going to be more expert at this for you yeah we also intricacies, intricacies.

00:15:06.537 --> 00:15:07.480
There are intricacies.

00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:12.008
Yes, that intricacies I need my afternoon coffee.

00:15:12.008 --> 00:15:13.650
Yeah, there are.

00:15:13.650 --> 00:15:14.893
They're just.

00:15:14.893 --> 00:15:19.356
You know, they're just little details that you're not used to doing all the time, and we aren't either.

00:15:19.397 --> 00:15:36.900
If we're not doing a lot of both, yeah sure and there are so many places, so many places in new york city where a cis woman uh, right, like a woman can go and get her cis woman, specifically, can go and get her parts done.

00:15:36.900 --> 00:15:59.052
A trans person, a trans woman, who may or may not have her penis, is going to have a harder time walking into a place looking extremely feminine, looking like a woman, being a woman, going into a space and then explaining oh, by the way, because it can be uncomfortable for them, right, to be like ugh.

00:15:59.052 --> 00:16:13.714
But I'll tell you that again, we are just about making sure we're being professional all the time, right, great, bring your parts in, we're good, you don't have to explain anything, you're just who you are.

00:16:13.714 --> 00:16:17.796
And I think that's when we start talking about safe spaces.

00:16:17.796 --> 00:16:25.086
A lot in the social justice world there's a talk about safe spaces For women.

00:16:25.086 --> 00:16:29.918
Going to a spa where they're welcome is a safe space.

00:16:29.918 --> 00:16:31.780
For a man, going to that same spa where they're welcome is a safe space for a man?

00:16:31.780 --> 00:16:55.345
Going to that same spa where they're told we only do men's backs or arms or shoulders or tests, it's like, oh, suddenly I'm not welcome here, right, I'm not fully, you're not fully seeing me, right, sure, sure so you had talked about the, uh, the sign in the spa oh, good lord yeah

00:16:57.710 --> 00:17:07.987
someone, one of my clients, told me they went into a spa and they saw a sign and the sign said something like I'm paraphrasing probably very badly, if you get an erection, we will end the service.

00:17:07.987 --> 00:17:16.113
And I thought well, that's ludicrous, because any man will tell you that sometimes it just happens for no reason.

00:17:16.113 --> 00:17:28.890
And, more importantly, if you're on the table and somebody's touching you, you're probably going to your body's going to respond somehow and you can't control that.

00:17:28.890 --> 00:17:32.115
Like, sometimes, the more you think, don't think about elephants, what do you think about?

00:17:32.414 --> 00:17:32.595
Yeah.

00:17:32.595 --> 00:17:38.511
So, yeah, so, let's talk about that, let's talk about that and we're going to talk about that in depth in the class.

00:17:38.511 --> 00:17:42.790
Let's talk about that in general, on how, what you do.

00:17:42.790 --> 00:17:46.398
If someone does, I know how I am I'd love to hear your side.

00:17:46.398 --> 00:17:53.446
What?

00:17:53.446 --> 00:17:56.636
You do if someone does, and is there any way to kind of not prevent it but maybe not encourage?

00:17:56.636 --> 00:17:57.799
You know like, is there ways that you think about?

00:17:57.820 --> 00:18:00.027
baseball Like you know how can, how can we do that?

00:18:00.027 --> 00:18:03.986
Because it's it's a very interesting topic that not a lot of people talk about.

00:18:03.986 --> 00:18:10.688
There's no other podcast that does sugar, but you know that we're not really talking about on, and I would love to hear your perspective.

00:18:11.067 --> 00:18:17.796
I think there should be a frankness about it too, which is why this is great for this we're talking here on the podcast.

00:18:17.796 --> 00:18:33.236
Well, first of all, I'll make a joke, because a lot of times people will call up and it'll be their first time and they're very nervous and have a lot of questions, and I like to be the front face of the business and talk to these people directly when they're new and have questions.

00:18:33.236 --> 00:18:34.338
Somebody will say what happens if I get an erection?

00:18:34.338 --> 00:18:35.721
And I said great, it works, that's what you want.

00:18:35.721 --> 00:18:40.726
If you get an erection when somebody is touching you, then your body's responding the way it's supposed to.

00:18:40.746 --> 00:18:41.367
It's supposed to.

00:18:41.607 --> 00:18:46.346
Great, as long as we don't go beyond that, and you know what these boundaries are.

00:18:46.346 --> 00:19:00.090
Yes, I'm not helping you with it, Correct, I'm not even going to and I'm going to probably stop manipulating it, because when you're sugaring, you're touching a lot and you try to get the customer client to help as much as possible.

00:19:00.090 --> 00:19:10.451
But if you get a boner, I'm going to ask you to move it, you know, because I'm not going to encourage that, the sensations of having somebody else touching you.

00:19:10.451 --> 00:19:11.836
And you know the creams and potions.

00:19:11.836 --> 00:19:16.432
If we get to that at the end I say lotions and potions, the soothing stuff that we put on at the end.

00:19:16.432 --> 00:19:20.375
Right, you know you can't be rubbing cream on somebody's erection.

00:19:20.375 --> 00:19:25.688
So you give it to them and you say, here, put this on your balls, put this on your taint, and you know, be on your way.

00:19:25.749 --> 00:19:27.191
It'll feel great and you can do it for you.

00:19:27.191 --> 00:19:28.212
Yeah, what?

00:19:28.973 --> 00:19:40.532
it'll feel really great, but you're gonna do that yeah and I'm sure they're very, very glad that you just let them handle it.

00:19:40.532 --> 00:19:42.220
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I think people do get embarrassed, you know people do get ashamed.

00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:47.531
Um, you know, there's there's going to be that odd client that maybe is trying to be inappropriate, and then you have to deal with that too.

00:19:48.012 --> 00:19:49.295
Yeah, how do you deal with?

00:19:49.335 --> 00:19:52.339
that I try to deflect.

00:19:52.339 --> 00:19:53.207
I try to.

00:19:53.207 --> 00:20:07.817
I may make a joke about something and skirt around it, most times by moving onto something professional.

00:20:07.817 --> 00:20:10.990
The energy will change.

00:20:10.990 --> 00:20:19.017
If it doesn't change and somebody is really pushing the issue, I'll say I'm at the office, this is my business.

00:20:19.017 --> 00:20:21.368
Yeah, and I'll be pretty frank about it.

00:20:21.368 --> 00:20:24.315
Yeah, and people get it.

00:20:24.315 --> 00:20:26.446
You know you don't have to do too much.

00:20:26.446 --> 00:20:28.811
I think it's best to just be straightforward about people.

00:20:29.673 --> 00:20:29.874
Yeah.

00:20:29.874 --> 00:20:38.748
I usually tell my students and fellow estheticians I'm like listen, it's how you present yourself at the table Number one.

00:20:38.888 --> 00:20:39.128
Yeah.

00:20:39.529 --> 00:20:47.648
Right, it is how you, what you're talking about while you're sugaring them, which is things that you know.

00:20:47.648 --> 00:20:49.351
We just talk about the world and whatever.

00:20:49.351 --> 00:20:55.259
We're not focusing on their parts with them, on this like journey of me touching you.

00:20:55.259 --> 00:21:03.617
Right, yeah, and it's really about taking charge of your professional service.

00:21:03.617 --> 00:21:04.419
That's right.

00:21:04.419 --> 00:21:12.638
You know, I'll tell you, um, I was, um, my, I was dating someone and I was like are you okay that I sugar men?

00:21:12.638 --> 00:21:19.530
You know, that's kind of a thing if you're dating a man that you're also touching other men With naked men all day, yeah.

00:21:19.671 --> 00:21:20.727
Right, right, and for you.

00:21:20.727 --> 00:21:22.092
You know you're with naked men all day.

00:21:22.092 --> 00:21:26.996
You have a boyfriend, you're like, you know you're all right with this Kind of what I do.

00:21:26.996 --> 00:21:35.111
And his comment was well, you're professional, that's what you do for a living, like someone who is in the medical field.

00:21:35.111 --> 00:21:43.846
Yeah, I wouldn't feel any differently, right, so that's how you carry yourself in the treatment room is very similar to being in the medical field.

00:21:43.846 --> 00:21:53.807
If I have to do something with your parts, put in a catheter, uh, shape you because you're going into surgery, whatever, whatever it is, you're a professional.

00:21:53.807 --> 00:21:54.891
A nurse is a professional.

00:21:54.891 --> 00:21:55.733
Doctors are personal.

00:21:55.794 --> 00:22:02.836
Sorry, yeah yeah, so it's how you present it, and I love the fact that you're like, hey, you know, this isn't what we do here.

00:22:02.836 --> 00:22:05.905
Yeah, so just stop asking.

00:22:06.346 --> 00:22:10.695
Done and if anything right, and there's a funny thing.

00:22:10.695 --> 00:22:12.886
You've brought up two things that hope I remember.

00:22:12.886 --> 00:22:14.371
I want to talk about each of them.

00:22:14.371 --> 00:22:25.821
One of them, what you said, reminded me of what do I do in the treatment room when something might be getting uncomfortable, and I find that the topic of conversation, what the topic of conversation is right.

00:22:25.821 --> 00:22:29.720
There's always going to be lulls in the conversation, except except with you and me.

00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:45.156
We never stop talking, but there might be a lull and during that pause maybe somebody's mind is going somewhere else and if I see something starting to stir, I will start the topic something.

00:22:45.617 --> 00:22:51.538
Yeah, just to get them in the room present with me talking, so that it's off of that.

00:22:51.538 --> 00:23:00.250
The other thing is being professional and presenting your best professional face all the time.

00:23:00.250 --> 00:23:18.980
That's related to something we also talked about at one point, about dealing with people who have had trauma in their past and people that come in even on a much lighter scale, people that are uncomfortable getting naked.

00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:23.153
Yeah, I'm very comfortable taking my clothes off in front of a group of people.

00:23:23.153 --> 00:23:25.685
I've been a model for you know, I've been an artist model.

00:23:25.766 --> 00:23:27.748
I've been sugared as a demo model.

00:23:27.748 --> 00:23:29.650
Also, you're smoking hot, so there's that.

00:23:30.410 --> 00:23:35.315
Go on, go on, oh, please, no, really Go on Keep going.

00:23:35.315 --> 00:23:37.457
I love you.

00:23:37.457 --> 00:23:40.240
You're so silly.

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:41.441
Now you're blushing.

00:23:41.441 --> 00:23:41.840
I love it.

00:23:41.840 --> 00:23:42.342
It's fabulous.

00:23:42.342 --> 00:23:43.021
I am blushing.

00:23:43.021 --> 00:23:45.769
You can see it right Because the sun's shining right on me.

00:23:45.769 --> 00:24:19.236
Yes, no-transcript about how it goes where I touch you, what happens with the sugar, what it feels like.

00:24:19.236 --> 00:24:20.486
You know all of these things.

00:24:20.486 --> 00:24:23.314
And then I say I'm going to need you to take everything off.

00:24:23.314 --> 00:24:26.708
They've already signed a consent form, so they know they're going to have to.

00:24:26.708 --> 00:24:28.590
Just they've signed up for this.

00:24:28.711 --> 00:24:46.766
They know they're going to have to disrobe at some point yeah, do I leave the yeah, I leave the room, I come back and you know, sometimes you use a little modesty towel, um, but when you come in, if you're working on their, on their junk, you know, on their penis and ball and scrotum, trying to use the correct terms, then you, you have to move the towel.

00:24:46.766 --> 00:24:52.596
You know they have to be exposed, but they're comfortable, because you're comfortable and because it's so professional.

00:24:53.057 --> 00:24:53.858
Yeah, yeah.

00:24:54.645 --> 00:25:26.458
I am going to put a little caveat in there, because there are lots of women listening to this, because we're a field of mostly women and I will say for those of you that are listening that are female, that if you do sugar men and if at any point in time you have tried to be as professional as possible and you don't feel safe in my space and I hope in your space you can say the service is over, you're being inappropriate, I'm going to step out and get your clothes on and we're just going to finish here.

00:25:26.458 --> 00:25:30.712
You do not have to apologize if someone is being inappropriate.

00:25:30.712 --> 00:25:41.953
So I do want to make sure that you understand audience, that we're very at my shop and I'm sure even at yours, because it happens with men gay men, or even straight men.

00:25:43.175 --> 00:25:56.519
It happens that people do get inappropriate and even if you try to be as professional as possible, if someone makes you feel uncomfortable, you have every right as a professional to say service is over.

00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:58.978
Yeah, give them some warning.

00:25:58.978 --> 00:26:02.993
Right, be professional and say this is not what I do here.

00:26:02.993 --> 00:26:10.739
Right, you know, I'm going to just let you know that this is a professional service and I am not going to do what you're asking me to.

00:26:10.739 --> 00:26:14.731
And if you say it again or make me feel uncomfortable, this is going to be over.

00:26:14.731 --> 00:26:16.056
You have to let them know.

00:26:16.056 --> 00:26:17.468
Yeah, give them a warning.

00:26:17.528 --> 00:26:20.056
Let them know that you're, you're, keyed in now.

00:26:20.056 --> 00:26:21.426
Yes, right, like yes.

00:26:21.928 --> 00:26:29.867
And you have every right as a professional to say to someone when it's over, they're paying their bill and you say you know what?

00:26:29.867 --> 00:26:35.698
I think it's best that you find someone else that can that is more suited to sugar you than myself.

00:26:35.698 --> 00:26:36.500
Yeah.

00:26:36.545 --> 00:26:39.153
You know, like, or you even do that after they've left.

00:26:39.153 --> 00:26:43.556
If there's some sort of an odd feeling about someone, you can say you know what?

00:26:43.556 --> 00:26:46.433
I would really prefer if you found someone else for your sugaring needs.

00:26:46.433 --> 00:26:47.470
It was very nice to meet you.

00:26:47.470 --> 00:26:52.607
I just don't think we're a fit.

00:26:52.607 --> 00:26:55.074
That is okay, because you might have trauma too.

00:26:55.094 --> 00:26:56.076
That's right, that's 100%.

00:26:56.096 --> 00:26:56.817
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:26:56.817 --> 00:26:57.018
So.

00:26:57.018 --> 00:27:01.164
So I just wanted to throw that in there, because I know that you and I have big personalities.

00:27:01.164 --> 00:27:17.230
I mean, I'm my table's right here and literally like listen, dude, you know this, this ain't happening, Like you know, and I can say that in a way that you and I will approach it differently, because both of us are kind of, we have our own trauma, but it's it's.

00:27:17.571 --> 00:27:39.465
you know that is not one of the things that I have an issue with, but I think it's so important that you said that, because the industry is so email dominant and you know there's a historical problem going back centuries of men and women alone together, like it's, and learning to speak for yourself when it's uncomfortable.

00:27:39.465 --> 00:27:43.836
It's hard for me to, you know, to say the thing you need to say.

00:27:43.836 --> 00:27:58.628
So I think it's doubly hard for women in a situation where there's a power imbalance and, um, weirdly, being naked on a table with somebody else who's clothed can be very powerful for the person who is naked.

00:27:58.628 --> 00:28:04.094
Really, yeah, because you feel like there's this.

00:28:04.094 --> 00:28:10.719
I don't know if I can explain it, but I think you know that power dynamic goes both ways.

00:28:10.719 --> 00:28:11.099
I think.

00:28:11.180 --> 00:28:20.647
And that's why a man who's naked on a table with a female technician may have this weird boldness because naked.

00:28:21.529 --> 00:28:21.971
Interesting.

00:28:21.971 --> 00:28:22.813
I never thought of that.

00:28:22.813 --> 00:28:26.540
I don't think they have boldness with me, cause I know I'm pretty.

00:28:26.540 --> 00:28:27.884
No, I see.

00:28:30.971 --> 00:28:36.257
I'm like I'm not going to say what I was going to say, You'll be fine, I have had.

00:28:36.376 --> 00:28:36.999
I have had in.

00:28:36.999 --> 00:28:38.382
In fairness, I have had a few.

00:28:38.382 --> 00:28:41.270
You know that do get an erection and I'm like, and what I do.

00:28:41.270 --> 00:28:43.013
On that side note, I'm a little different.

00:28:43.013 --> 00:28:47.381
I will take a small just hand towel, modesty towel, right?

00:28:47.381 --> 00:28:56.791
Yeah, I'll say buddy, no problem, like you said it works.

00:28:56.791 --> 00:29:02.332
I will take the towel and put it over their erection and say hold this, because then it's not that they're holding the shaft, they're holding a towel and pressing themselves to the side.

00:29:02.332 --> 00:29:03.594
And then I can keep working.

00:29:04.055 --> 00:29:04.756
Yes, I should have.

00:29:04.756 --> 00:29:09.284
I should have said that when I was saying that I asked them to move their parts.

00:29:09.284 --> 00:29:14.721
Adding that towel adds that level of privacy.

00:29:14.721 --> 00:29:17.497
Sure, sure yeah.

00:29:17.517 --> 00:29:24.579
Yeah, which is fine, you know, and that's good for us to tell people, because I'm sure people are listening in the audience going well, I use a towel, is that not right?

00:29:24.579 --> 00:29:26.222
Totally right, it's totally fine.

00:29:26.604 --> 00:29:27.991
Yeah, you can do whatever you want to do.

00:29:27.991 --> 00:29:32.363
If you can do the work, it doesn't matter how you do it, right, I mean?

00:29:32.529 --> 00:29:37.142
well, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, Um, but that's the thing is to understand that.

00:29:37.142 --> 00:29:46.292
You know, these are all body parts that need to be smoothed.

00:29:46.292 --> 00:29:50.162
There's ears, there's, you know, chests, there's backs, and so let's talk about that, because sugaring men isn't all about the Brazilians.

00:29:50.423 --> 00:30:07.204
Yeah, that's not the only thing that's different that I had to do a full body the other day and it's grueling work on a man because this guy was hairy and I have a client who comes in and's who there's no boundary between the hair on his chest and hair on his back.

00:30:07.204 --> 00:30:11.481
It's like somebody wrapped a bolt of fabric around his torso.

00:30:12.569 --> 00:30:16.396
And so I had to like carve out the smooth back.

00:30:16.396 --> 00:30:20.163
And it's up to him to go home and trim and blend.

00:30:20.163 --> 00:30:27.555
But that's a thing you have to contend with is the density of the growth and the strength of the hair.

00:30:27.555 --> 00:30:30.260
And you know chests are hard to do.

00:30:30.260 --> 00:30:31.482
Men break out.

00:30:31.482 --> 00:30:36.006
You do chest, you do their back or their butt, they're going to be liable to break out.

00:30:36.488 --> 00:30:53.810
Not necessarily everyone, and probably probably 50% of people, their first time will have a breakout if they don't follow the appropriate post treatment protocols which we will be sharing in the class, in the class Correct Intent.

00:30:54.854 --> 00:31:01.287
So talk a little bit about backs and men and how do you price it?

00:31:01.287 --> 00:31:06.480
Not the specific pricing, but how do you price it, because a guy that comes in, I mean men's backs vary.

00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:08.936
I mean both my boys, my grown boys.

00:31:08.936 --> 00:31:14.036
One is like a gorilla, the other one just has shoulders and a little tuft around his waistline, like that's it.

00:31:14.651 --> 00:31:17.318
Same biological cocktail, two different backs.

00:31:17.318 --> 00:31:20.473
So talk about how you price that with men.

00:31:20.473 --> 00:31:28.065
If a guy comes in and he has know, I don't know, some hair on his legs, or you know, like you said, the guy who looks like a fawn, you know like, yeah, how do you price?

00:31:28.105 --> 00:31:28.810
that in your shop.

00:31:29.271 --> 00:31:38.366
Um, we have, and we're currently in the midst of making a little change, because this is this push and pull in the industry about whether you're charging for time or part.

00:31:38.749 --> 00:31:42.835
Right, because I've gone to places where they charge by parts and, like my back is really easy to do.

00:31:42.835 --> 00:32:06.203
You can't charge me the same way you charge somebody else for a full back, but we have an estimated amount of time for each part and each combination of parts, and so our pricing menu reflects that, and if we think someone else needs more time some individual needs more time we'll talk to them about it in the service.

00:32:06.203 --> 00:32:17.363
We also make it clear on the website and on the booking flow that these times are approximate and we may need to add more time when you come in.

00:32:17.363 --> 00:32:22.759
So if you call, if somebody has a question, they'll call us or text us and we'll tell them this is what's going on.

00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:23.701
This is how this works.

00:32:23.701 --> 00:32:27.096
Call us or text us and we'll tell them this is what's going on.

00:32:27.096 --> 00:32:29.784
This is how this works, um, and we price it according to the amount of time we think we'll need.

00:32:29.804 --> 00:32:40.272
Yeah, I just had a vision of someone taking his shirt off and you're like yeah, 70 books, 15 minutes, and they're like I want to do my full body, you know yeah, no, and my old spot.

00:32:40.272 --> 00:32:42.215
They did it in 30 minutes, no girl.

00:32:42.655 --> 00:32:51.465
Yeah, no, no, and that's something to know that you know, some people have a lot of hair and some people have hair that comes like a dream.

00:32:51.950 --> 00:32:53.434
You can have a lot of hair and it just comes out.

00:32:55.410 --> 00:33:03.743
You can have a little bit of hair and it takes forever to get it out, like it's not even about the volume of hair, it's about the density and the biology of the hair.

00:33:03.743 --> 00:33:08.160
You know, yeah, do you do maintenance prices like first time and maintenance prices?

00:33:08.971 --> 00:33:10.936
You know, you've given me an idea.

00:33:10.936 --> 00:33:12.480
No, oh, honey buns.

00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:17.532
And we should, because first time pricing is yeah, some of these people, first time.

00:33:17.532 --> 00:33:18.574
It takes extra time.

00:33:19.095 --> 00:33:34.464
Oh, you're going to go back to the shop and do that because, let me tell you, when you do that first time, like it's, you know sweat and tears and art and love and you know, and then, but it forces them to come back in four weeks because if they do, they get the maintenance price.

00:33:34.464 --> 00:33:34.925
That's right.

00:33:34.925 --> 00:33:38.307
I also have a middle of the road.

00:33:38.307 --> 00:33:43.493
So for Brazilians, I do four weeks and then five plus.

00:33:43.493 --> 00:33:52.794
So if you're someone who had a four week appointment and then you've nudged it for a couple of weeks it's not really a first time but it's not maintenance You're getting that middle price.

00:33:52.794 --> 00:33:56.114
So, note to self, that's made a really big difference.

00:33:56.114 --> 00:33:57.759
People don't want to change their appointments.

00:33:58.650 --> 00:33:59.776
I need to look at your menu.

00:33:59.776 --> 00:34:05.923
Yes you all can look at my menu but it's a great, it's it, that's over.

00:34:06.190 --> 00:34:13.922
I mean, I shoot, I've been doing this for 16 years and um anyway, um so, but that I.

00:34:13.922 --> 00:34:20.686
What I found was, you know, I want to reward the people whose backs now take me no time at all to do.

00:34:20.686 --> 00:34:23.896
Yeah, so I'll make that adjustment now, that guy let me.

00:34:23.896 --> 00:34:28.818
Let's talk about men and their loyalty, my male clients are my favorite.

00:34:29.139 --> 00:34:29.699
They come in.

00:34:29.699 --> 00:34:30.742
They do what you tell them.

00:34:30.742 --> 00:34:36.701
They do exactly what, like I said, the home care that they need, and they come in.

00:34:36.701 --> 00:34:37.583
Oh, four weeks.

00:34:37.583 --> 00:34:39.853
Yeah no problem, they're early for their appointments.

00:34:39.853 --> 00:34:47.664
Now you have lots of different kinds of men, so I'm sure this is like across the board, but at my shop they're like oh, I have to come every four weeks.

00:34:47.784 --> 00:34:56.425
All right, they just do as they're told yeah, yeah, I think I think, um, overall, yes, I think men are great clients.

00:34:56.425 --> 00:35:01.775
They, they, um they're there to get results, they are, there's no bullshit.

00:35:01.775 --> 00:35:10.378
Um, they come in, want to do it, they reschedule, they come back for the following month and they're loyal.

00:35:10.378 --> 00:35:13.853
That's an interesting thing for you to bring up, because I do feel that that's true.

00:35:13.853 --> 00:35:21.472
Um, the very few clients who aren't loyal are the clients who call last minute or you know.

00:35:21.472 --> 00:35:25.440
You know them from yeah, yeah.

00:35:25.500 --> 00:35:28.585
But overall I find that men are the best clients.

00:35:28.585 --> 00:35:32.597
They're the easiest to sugar because they just do as you tell them.

00:35:32.597 --> 00:35:40.231
They are happy to talk about anything else but what you're doing, so you can talk about, you know whatever, and they're just easy.

00:35:40.231 --> 00:35:44.461
And then what I love about is I can retail to them as well.

00:35:44.461 --> 00:35:46.556
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh.

00:35:46.556 --> 00:35:49.849
You want me to buy these three things because it's going to fix my ingrown problem.

00:35:49.849 --> 00:35:51.695
Ok, and they just do.

00:35:51.715 --> 00:36:03.065
Yeah, and, and sometimes I do find there's a challenge of getting them to adhere to their own treatment regimen.

00:36:03.065 --> 00:36:09.577
Adhere to their own treatment regimen and so at home regimen, I should say their own at home protocols for their skincare.

00:36:09.958 --> 00:36:10.157
Yeah.

00:36:10.659 --> 00:36:28.559
I often have to find the way to make it as simple as possible and as effective as possible so that they can say, oh, I only need these three products or these two products and you wash this area with this, you dry off, you put this on, you moisturize over it, done.

00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:29.561
That's all you need to do.

00:36:29.561 --> 00:36:38.481
And once they have that down and they see how simple it is but I think that's true with all skincare across the board Once you see how simple it is to take good care of yourself.

00:36:38.481 --> 00:36:46.407
But in general, I think with men, most men, they want it to be simple.

00:36:46.407 --> 00:36:54.889
There's a certain part, I think, of the community that I work with that they love the complexity, they love the products, they love it, you know, and but other men are just like okay, great, just these two things.

00:36:54.889 --> 00:36:58.255
Terrific, as long as you keep it cut and dry.

00:36:58.876 --> 00:37:01.699
Yeah, yeah, is there any?

00:37:01.699 --> 00:37:04.041
What's next for the sugar daddy?

00:37:04.041 --> 00:37:05.003
What?

00:37:05.043 --> 00:37:05.864
is next.

00:37:05.864 --> 00:37:23.420
Yes, well, I'm teaching with love to sugar, which is really exciting, and I'll be offering perfection classes, male, male, we're calling it right now male Brazilian perfection, as we're working on it, but we're changing it Male anatomy perfection.

00:37:23.420 --> 00:37:29.786
Yeah, so that anybody who's learning to sugar can come to me to learn specifically about that.

00:37:35.650 --> 00:37:39.657
But we should also talk about expanding to other parts, other male parts, because it's so different from other things.

00:37:39.657 --> 00:37:52.619
So that that's the big thing and the Sugar Daddy as a business, that's the big thing and the sugar daddy as a business.

00:37:52.659 --> 00:37:54.623
We are right now talking about a possible LA office.

00:37:54.643 --> 00:37:55.425
This is news to me.

00:37:55.425 --> 00:37:57.130
This is my land.

00:37:57.130 --> 00:38:00.835
Listen, I just said this so far ahead of any real talks that we've had.

00:38:00.835 --> 00:38:03.760
It's just been mentioned among some people who want to do business with me.

00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:06.543
Don't know where that's going, but that's you know.

00:38:06.543 --> 00:38:15.990
Ultimately, my goal is to have sugar daddies all over the country, but we're also expanding into more aesthetic services that I love to do.

00:38:15.990 --> 00:38:30.802
We're going to be offering facials, offering hair growth treatments, we're going to be doing body scrubs and body treatments in addition to the shivering, and I'm currently training another person, so we will have four of us in the office.

00:38:31.090 --> 00:38:36.853
Very well, I need to meet him and make sure he lives up to my standards of happiness do I have to come out?

00:38:36.853 --> 00:38:39.054
To new york again you should um.

00:38:39.155 --> 00:38:44.320
you met him at ieECSC Sam Tall, thin guy, super sweet.

00:38:44.380 --> 00:38:47.664
Yes, okay, yeah, sam is acceptable.

00:38:47.664 --> 00:38:48.706
He may come Good.

00:38:48.706 --> 00:38:51.438
I will grant him sugar mama blessings.

00:38:51.438 --> 00:38:55.143
Just a little dot of sugar right in the middle of your head.

00:38:55.143 --> 00:39:02.873
Oh my gosh, you have to go to New York and go to sugar daddy, cause I love your stuff, I just do yeah, so that's you know.

00:39:02.873 --> 00:39:04.237
I love that.

00:39:04.237 --> 00:39:13.231
You are really saying okay, holistically, yes, we sugar, which is awesome, it's that, it's that service that brings these men in the door, right?

00:39:13.311 --> 00:39:14.255
Cause they want to be smooth.

00:39:14.998 --> 00:39:18.570
But what else can we offer men that they don't even realize they need?

00:39:18.570 --> 00:39:21.737
And then they get it and they're like, oh wow, I.

00:39:21.737 --> 00:39:26.123
I didn't know how much I like to have a facial or I didn't know what I needed to use because I don't want to ask.

00:39:26.123 --> 00:39:33.610
You know, there's a lot of gay men that love to make like every product they can put on their faces and bodies, like, give it to me, right?

00:39:33.610 --> 00:39:35.818
But there's a lot of men that are really timid about that.

00:39:35.818 --> 00:39:51.452
But if you can just say, hey, by the way, we order, you do these other things, what a great business build for all of you.

00:39:51.452 --> 00:39:58.489
Because they don't know what they need, they don't know what they're asking for, but you're going to offer them things that and it's about proper retail to them and you're going to offer them things that, again, that can just benefit their life and their happiness with their skin and their body and their image.

00:39:59.090 --> 00:40:07.983
Yeah, it's because it's everything, because when you are caring for specific parts, your skin is a whole organ that covers your whole body.

00:40:07.983 --> 00:40:15.114
This is the one organ right, and what you're doing down there, what you're doing on your back.

00:40:15.114 --> 00:40:20.742
You should also be thinking about what's happening over here, because this is getting special care and this isn't.

00:40:20.742 --> 00:40:21.483
That's not good.

00:40:22.184 --> 00:40:30.922
Right, right, right, and the ability for you to recognize that and not, you know, try to be like well, we have 17,.

00:40:30.922 --> 00:40:32.487
You know service providers?

00:40:32.487 --> 00:40:56.713
No, we're going to, you know, we're going to hone down the guys that we have and make sure that people feel serviced and they feel like they have the services and the products that they need, and let's make this perfect before we then go cookie cutter elsewhere, like it's really smart and to add something else to the other sugarists, sugaristas and sugarists who are listening that you want to be just giving the most excellent service.

00:40:56.753 --> 00:41:13.579
You can be all the time and taking the time to focus on detail, whether it's adding services that suit your business and making sure that's a complete little nugget that you can give to somebody.

00:41:13.579 --> 00:41:45.880
Or if you're just doing sugaring or hair removal, waxing or sugaring, you want to make sure that you're holding them in your care, because that's also what brings people back and that's not the motivation for it, right, but you do want people to feel that they've had a result, that they've gotten the result they want, so that when they meet you yeah, when they move out into the world, they're like, oh, I feel good, that was good, there's nothing else they need to do, they don't need to think about it again, yeah.

00:41:47.481 --> 00:41:51.253
And you're my person You're my person that takes care of those things.

00:41:51.253 --> 00:41:51.974
I got a guy.

00:41:53.637 --> 00:41:54.900
I got a guy.

00:41:55.021 --> 00:42:00.038
If I got a thing right here I got a guy, I've got some dry skin.

00:42:00.038 --> 00:42:01.280
Oh, I got a guy for that.

00:42:01.501 --> 00:42:05.090
And it's so wonderfully satisfying and it happens for everybody.

00:42:05.090 --> 00:42:06.213
That's a practitioner like us.

00:42:06.213 --> 00:42:08.900
When somebody says, oh, I heard about you from.

00:42:08.900 --> 00:42:12.581
Oh, I was at a party and people were talking about you know.

00:42:12.581 --> 00:42:17.135
When somebody says, oh, you're the sugar daddy, I'm so like taken aback.

00:42:17.135 --> 00:42:25.657
I was recently at a theater event and was standing with the director of the thing and a friend of his and we were talking and he said, well, what do you do for?

00:42:25.657 --> 00:42:27.983
And I said, well, I have a small aesthetics business.

00:42:27.983 --> 00:42:30.556
I, I'm a sugarist, I do sugaring hair removal.

00:42:30.556 --> 00:42:32.922
He said, wait, you're the sugar daddy, aren't you?

00:42:32.922 --> 00:42:36.456
And I was like that's crazy, I don't even know this person.

00:42:36.456 --> 00:42:39.505
Yes, yeah means the marketing's working.

00:42:39.505 --> 00:42:42.532
It's also that word of mouth.

00:42:42.632 --> 00:42:53.751
Right, get those people talking yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what we're gonna have to cut this because, yeah, because we could talk literally for hours and we're going to.

00:42:53.751 --> 00:43:01.561
We're going to keep doing this and if any of you are listening and you have questions for us, feel free to leave comments, because we would are happy to answer.

00:43:01.561 --> 00:43:04.795
We can do this again with another topic, which is great.

00:43:04.795 --> 00:43:08.197
Maybe we'll talk about histamine reactions or you know, like there's something to talk about.

00:43:08.730 --> 00:43:40.891
But this is what it's about is Armando and I have experienced such great success in our careers and really finding those things that work, and so this is why we bring it to you on the podcast is to ask the questions and to bring out so that we're all better estheticians and we're all your service providers, and so if you do have any questions, audience of Armando or myself, feel free to ask those questions, and if there are more private questions that you're a little more nervous about, because we are talking about naked parts and you don't know how to ask that, just DM us.

00:43:40.891 --> 00:43:58.675
It's fine, too, because we're happy to have that discussion and really it's about helping each other, because if we don't help each other in this industry, the industry doesn't rise, and that is what we're looking for is to do that together.

00:43:58.695 --> 00:44:00.639
