What to expect during service
Lip waxing at Sasha Salon and Spa is a focused, quick treatment for the upper lip area. Your esthetician will cleanse the skin, assess hair direction, and remove hair in a few small passes. Expect a brief, precise service that typically takes 15 MINUTES; many clients book between classes or work.
Discomfort is usually brief and manageable; estheticians use steady technique to limit irritation. New England seasons can make lips drier or more sensitive, so tell us about recent sun, cold-weather chapping, or active exfoliating acids like retinols, glycolic, salicylic, or Tretinoin before treatment. We're centrally located near Harvard Square for convenient scheduling.
Preparation and safety notes
Please inform your Esthetician if you are using any exfoliating acids on your skin prior to your facial waxing appointment. Examples include retinols, glycolic, salicylic, and prescription Tretinoin. These products can increase sensitivity; if you’re unsure whether an item counts, ask us when you book or at check-in and we’ll advise.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin around the lip so your Esthetician can work on natural hair and skin. If you prefer a different method, Sasha Salon and Spa also offers Lip Thread ($15) as an alternative; mention your preference when booking so we assign the appropriate technician and time slot.
Aftercare and regrowth expectations
After waxing your lip, the skin may be slightly red or tender for a short period; gentle care helps recovery. Avoid applying strong exfoliants or active acids immediately after waxing and protect the area from excessive sun and wind. Cambridge's seasonal changes can make lips drier, so use a simple balm if needed.
Hair regrowth varies by individual and cycle; frequency of follow-up depends on your hair and schedule. Many Cambridge clients pick short maintenance visits between other commitments because the service is compact. A Lip waxing appointment is 15 MINUTES and priced at $23, making it convenient for students and professionals nearby.
