Quick answer
Lip or Chin Wax at Beauty Power Studio costs $30 and takes about 10 minutes. A gentle facial wax removes hair from the root, so skin stays smooth for roughly 3–4 weeks. Let hair grow to about a quarter inch, skip retinol and exfoliants for a few days beforehand, and keep the area clean and out of the sun afterward.
What Is a Lip or Chin Wax?
A lip or chin wax removes unwanted hair from the upper lip or the chin in a single quick treatment. A gentle facial wax, formulated for thin, delicate skin, grips the hair and lifts it out from the root.
At Beauty Power Studio, Lip or Chin Wax takes about 10 minutes and costs $30.
How the Treatment Works
- Cleanse: The skin is cleaned so the wax grips evenly.
- Apply: A thin layer of facial wax is spread in the direction of hair growth.
- Remove: The wax is lifted against the direction of growth in one quick motion.
- Soothe: Any remaining stray hairs are tidied and the skin is calmed.
Because the area is small, the whole appointment is fast and easy to pair with a brow shape or a lash service.
Wax vs Shaving vs Threading
| Method | How it works | Results last |
|---|---|---|
| Wax | Removes hair from the root | About 3–4 weeks |
| Shaving | Cuts hair at the skin surface | 1–3 days |
| Threading | Lifts hair from the root with twisted thread | About 3–4 weeks |
Wax is a popular choice for the lip and chin because it is quick, leaves skin smooth, and regrowth is typically softer than shaving stubble.
How to Prepare
- Let hair grow to about a quarter inch
- Skip retinol, retinoids, and exfoliating acids on the area for 2–3 days before
- Come with clean skin and no heavy cream or makeup on the lip or chin
- Avoid sunburn and tanning beds beforehand
- Tell your artist about sensitive skin or any medication you use for acne
Aftercare
- Avoid touching the area and keep it clean
- Skip makeup, heavy creams, and exfoliants for 24 hours
- Stay out of direct sun and avoid hot tubs, saunas, and intense workouts for the first day
- Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer if the skin feels tight
- Do not pick at any small bumps
Does Waxing Make Hair Grow Back Thicker?
No. This is one of the most common beauty myths. Waxing does not change how thick, dark, or fast your hair grows. Regrowth can look finer than shaving simply because the new hair tapers to a soft tip instead of a blunt edge.
How Often Should You Book?
Book every 3–4 weeks to keep the area consistently smooth. If you want to wax more than just the lip or chin, a full face wax covers cheeks, chin, upper lip, and nose in one visit.

Frequently asked questions
01How much is a lip or chin wax and how long does it take?
At Beauty Power Studio in Santa Clara, Lip or Chin Wax costs $30 and takes about 10 minutes. It is a quick add-on to a brow or lash appointment.
02How long should my hair be before waxing?
About a quarter inch, roughly the length of a grain of rice. Hair that is too short will not grip the wax, and hair that is much longer can make the wax more uncomfortable.
03How long do the results last?
Most clients stay smooth for 3–4 weeks, because wax removes hair from the root. Regrowth is finer and softer than the stubble you get from shaving, and many people rebook every 3–4 weeks.
04Does waxing make facial hair grow back thicker?
No. Waxing does not change the thickness, color, or growth rate of your hair. Regrowth can feel softer than shaving because the hair tapers instead of ending in a blunt tip.
05Who should not get a lip or chin wax?
Skip waxing on skin that is sunburned, irritated, broken out, or has a cold sore, and tell your artist if you use retinoids or prescription acne medication. If you are unsure, ask before booking.
