Frequently Asked Questions
Does upper lip waxing hurt?
You may feel a brief sting as the wax is removed. We select the most suitable wax and apply cooling care to minimise discomfort.
How long do results last?
Most guests stay smooth for two to four weeks. Growth varies by hair type and hormones.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. We adapt technique and wax type for sensitive skin, and avoid overworking the area. Please share any skin conditions or medications.
Can I wear makeup afterwards?
Wait 24 hours before applying makeup to the area. This reduces the risk of irritation and allows the skin to settle.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid retinol, acids, and sunbathing for 24 hours beforehand.
