An upper lip wax is a quick, precise way to remove unwanted hair from the top lip area for a smooth feel and a cleaner looking finish. It is ideal if you are fed up with daily maintenance, or you want your make up to sit better without the texture that shaving can leave behind. The appointment is short, straightforward, and finished with calming aftercare to help keep the skin comfortable.

Upper lip waxing focuses on the area between the top lip and the nose, removing hair from the root for longer lasting smoothness than shaving.

Upper lip waxing suits you if you want a neater finish without daily upkeep
This treatment is a good option if you notice darker or stronger hair on the upper lip, or if you get quick regrowth after shaving. It also works well if you want a smooth base for makeup, especially around the lip line.
If your skin is very reactive, or you are using strong active skincare, we will talk through the safest approach for you.
How an upper lip wax is done, and how long it takes
Upper lip waxing is a short appointment, often around five minutes. The wax is applied and removed in controlled sections, then the area is checked and refined for a clean outline.
If you have not waxed before, expect a quick sting as the hair is removed, then it settles fast. We keep the pace calm and efficient, so you are not in the chair any longer than you need to be.
Aftercare and regrowth, what to expect after an upper lip wax
It is normal to see mild redness straight after waxing, especially if you have sensitive skin. Avoid heat, heavy exercise, sunbeds, acids, retinoids, and fragranced products on the area for 24 to 48 hours.
Hair usually grows back softer over time, and most people book regular maintenance every few weeks depending on their hair growth cycle.
