Some redness or tiny bumps are normal and typically subside within 24–48 hours. We use soothing post-wax balms and offer aftercare advice. If you have sensitive skin, inform your esthetician so we can adjust products and techniques to minimize irritation.

For effective waxing, hair should be about 1/4 inch (roughly three to four millimeters). Too short will not grip the wax; too long can increase discomfort. If hair is too short, we may reschedule or recommend waiting until it reaches the ideal length.

Yes, lip waxing can be performed on most skin types and tones when done by trained professionals. We assess your skin and hair, select appropriate wax, and customize techniques to reduce risk. Patch tests for high sensitivity are available upon request.
