How Much Does Sugaring Cost in Canada? (2026 Price Guide)
Body sugaring uses a water-soluble paste made from sugar, lemon, and water. The paste is applied against the direction of hair growth and removed in the direction of growth. Sugaring is a distinct service from waxing, with its own advertised prices and appointment categories.
Based on publicly advertised prices collected from 29 independent Canadian businesses across 8 provinces in October 2026, Brazilian sugaring first-visit prices range from $65 to $85, with a national median of $72. The middle 50% of the sample is $68 to $75.
This is a limited national sample spanning 13 cities. The tables keep first-visit Brazilian sugaring, Brazilian maintenance, and underarm sugaring as separate normalized service variants.
Sugaring prices by service type (2026)
| Service | Businesses sampled | Observed range | Median | P25–P75 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brazilian — first visit | 29 | $65–$85 | $72 | $68–$75 |
| Brazilian — maintenance | 29 | $50–$68 | $58 | $54–$60 |
| Underarms | 29 | $24–$32 | $28 | $26–$28 |
Maintenance pricing is reported separately from first-visit pricing. The Underarms row uses the single normalized Underarms Sugaring group in the accepted data; it is not a first-visit or maintenance subgroup.

Sugaring and waxing
Both services remove hair from a selected area, but they use different products and techniques. Sugar paste is water-soluble and is removed in the direction of hair growth. Waxing menus and sugaring menus may list separate service names and prices, so compare the exact area and appointment type when choosing.
In this research cycle, the median for a Brazilian sugaring first visit is $72, while the Brazilian waxing median is $58. The figures describe the two samples and do not predict an individual studio’s quote. For another hair-removal option, see our laser hair removal pricing guide.
What to confirm before booking
Menus do not always describe the same appointment details. Before booking, confirm:
- Whether the quote is for a first visit or a maintenance appointment.
- Which body area the quoted price covers.
- What the studio includes in the service and whether any extra charges apply.
- Whether sales tax is added to the advertised menu price.
All collected Canadian menu prices in this research are pre-tax. You can also compare sugaring studios and ask each studio for its current rate.
