A new LGBTQ-friendly waxing studio has opened in the Halifax area. Fauna Sugaring Studio on Agricola Street is a dedicated full-service sugar-waxing shop. Sugaring involves removing body hair by quickly pulling it from the root using a paste that consists of lemon, water and sugar. The studio, established by Faith Lamoureux, had already received multiple booking requests even before it opened on Tuesday. Although many shops do a great job making people feel comfortable, she says, it's not uncommon for waxing services to be targeted toward specific gender representations.
