“Sugaring is really an art – but there is science behind it, with the removal of the hair from the root,” she explains. “It’s a 100% natural hair removal method that results in thinner hair regrowth, and in my experience, actually boosts your confidence – even when your hair grows back.”

What makes Steinbach's model unique is that nearly all of the revenue collected from the business tax is allocated to the Steinbach Chamber of Commerce, minus a five per cent administration fee.
