The Lips wax is very quick—usually five to ten minutes from prep to finish. We assess skin sensitivity first, cleanse the area, and perform precise waxing. Plan for a short appointment window; add a few extra minutes if combined with other facial services.

Some mild, brief discomfort is normal, especially on first waxing, but most clients describe the sensation as quick and tolerable. Our technicians use soothing techniques and warm wax to reduce pain. Numbing creams can be applied on request for very sensitive skin.

Arrive with clean, make-up-free lips and hair about a quarter-inch long for effective removal. Avoid exfoliating harshly, chemical peels, retinoids, or sunburned skin 48 hours before. Hydrate and avoid caffeine for reduced sensitivity during waxing.

Most clients enjoy smooth lips for about three to six weeks, depending on individual hair growth cycles. Regular, consistent waxing can lead to finer regrowth over time and slightly longer intervals between appointments as hair weakens and thins.

Yes—with proper consultation. Our estheticians evaluate skin condition first, perform patch tests, and use gentler waxes and techniques to protect delicate or acne-prone skin. If waxing isn't appropriate, we'll recommend safe alternatives like soft tweezing or professional facial care.

After waxing, avoid hot showers, saunas, strenuous exercise, and direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours. Keep the area clean and hands off. Use gentle, fragrance-free soothing gels or aloe and skip makeup, exfoliation, or retinoids for two days to reduce inflammation and ingrowns.
