Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Alisha Hyman founded her home-based sugaring business in 2017. She then went on to work at one of the busiest sugaring boutiques in the City.
In 2019, Alisha combined her high-quality technique with the comforts of home to create Sugar YYC. But it wasn’t long after bringing on a talented team of women who offered a wide range of personal services, that Alisha knew they would eventually need more space.
Sugar & Silk is the evolution of Sugar YYC. A new brand to represent the exceptional services offered by Alisha and her dedicated team, with a brand new, expanded location coming Winter 2023.
To our dedicated clients that have supported us for years - we thank you, and to the new clients we haven’t met yet,
welcome to Sugar & Silk.
