News From nomiSpa
| 
A natural alternative to hair removal- Alexandria Body Sugaring. nomiSpa is the only spa in Jackson to use the Alexandria alternative. The most important advantage
is very fundamental: the Alexandria technique and sugar paste extracts the hair in its natural direction of growth and does so when the hair is still in the early growth stage. This eliminates breakage, unnecessary discomfort, irritation and ingrown hairs while exfoliating dry skin cells.
