The Wolf’s Take 🍟

Sugaring is an emerging concept showing an investment level of $200,000 with an average revenue that is 3x that amount.

 Beyond the numbers, you may be wondering – wtf is “sugaring”?!? Here’s a recap on what this concept is all about…

Waxing vs Sugaring

Waxing

  • Must be heated and can burn/scar your skin
  • Made with resins and potentially toxic chemicals
  • Can cause skin irritation and requires chemicals to help remove it

Sugaring

  • Made of 100% natural ingredients (just water and sugar)
  • Applied to the body at room temperature, thus no burning
  • Can be easily removed with water so it doesn’t irritate the skin

Sugaring also appears to be a more effective hair removal process as well, as it removes more hair and doesn’t lead to ingrown hairs like waxing can.

Overall, it’s just as effective as waxing (if not better), and it’s a more pleasant user-experience and arguably a healthier one too.

My main question would be this: can every salon that offers waxing pivot quickly to sugaring? Or is there some sort of defensibility to the service?

The Wolf’s Take 🍟

Another week, another home services franchise with a far lower investment than the typical brick and mortar business, and showing the potential for cashflow.


This brand has been franchising since 2019, and has shown impressive growth since that time with 20+ franchisees already onboarded and operating.

I’ll spare you the usual spiel on why home-services franchises can be a great choice. Check out The Driveway Company if you like what you see!
