Lip Waxing or Threading

About this service

Threading the upper lip captures each hair without touching the surrounding skin. It is a good choice for clients with sensitive skin, clients using acne or anti aging treatments, and anyone who prefers to avoid warm wax on the delicate skin above the mouth. Waxing removes the hair in wider sections and can be faster, which is helpful for clients with more coverage or thicker hair.

Whichever method you choose, the appointment is quick, usually finishing in five to ten minutes. Your specialist will review the treatment area, confirm your preferred method, and apply a calming lotion when finished. The result is smooth skin that lets foundation and lip color sit evenly.

Clients across Nashville book this service on its own or add it to another appointment, such as brow shaping or a full face wax. Because the results are precise, this small step can make a meaningful difference in how polished your face looks in photos, at work, or before a special occasion.
