Lip and Chin Waxing

Lip and chin waxing is a targeted treatment that removes unwanted facial hair from the root for a smoother finish than shaving. It helps reduce the look of stubble and shadowing, leaving the area feeling cleaner and easier to manage between appointments.

More information

What lip and chin waxing covers

This service focuses on small facial areas where fine or coarse hair can show quickly.

  • A brief consultation to confirm the areas you want waxed and check skin condition
  • Cleansing and prepping the skin for better grip and comfort
  • Careful waxing of the upper lip and chin, working in sections for accuracy
  • Tweezing of any remaining hairs where needed for a neat finish
  • A soothing product applied to calm the skin
  • Clear aftercare guidance to help minimise redness and prevent irritation

Who lip and chin waxing is best for

This treatment suits you if you want a tidy, low-maintenance result without daily shaving. It is also a good option if you notice darker regrowth, makeup sitting poorly on stubble, or you want a smoother look for photos, events, or work.

What happens during the appointment

Your skin is cleansed and prepped, then wax is applied and removed with controlled technique to reduce tugging. The area is checked in good light, and any strays are finished with tweezers for clean lines around the lip and chin.

Results and aftercare

Skin often looks and feels smoother straight away, with regrowth typically taking longer than shaving because hair is removed from the root. For the first 24 hours, avoid heat, heavy exercise, perfumed products, and touching the area. After 48 hours, gentle exfoliation can help reduce the chance of ingrown hairs.

    It is always a pleasure to see Kayleigh. I can't fault any of the beauty treatments that she does from nails to waxing and eyebrow and eyelash tinting to name but a few. I would highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the results last?
Many people stay smooth for around 2 to 4 weeks, depending on hair growth and hormones. Regular appointments often help hair grow back finer and more evenly.
Is lip and chin waxing painful?
You may feel a quick sting as the hair is removed, especially on the upper lip. Good technique and working in small sections helps keep it manageable, and any discomfort usually settles quickly.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Arrive with clean skin and avoid using retinol, acids, or exfoliants on the area for a couple of days beforehand if possible. Let the hair grow to a workable length, and tell your therapist about any skincare or medication that affects sensitivity.
What should I avoid after waxing?
For 24 hours, avoid hot baths, saunas, sunbeds, heavy workouts, and fragranced skincare on the area. Try not to apply heavy makeup immediately afterwards to reduce the chance of blocked pores.
Can I have lip and chin waxing if my skin is sensitive?
Often yes, but it depends on the cause and how reactive your skin is. Let your therapist know about redness, broken skin, cold sores, recent peels, or prescription skincare so the safest method can be recommended.
