What the service involves
Our Upper Lip service removes unwanted hair from the upper lip using a gentle waxing approach that targets only that small area. Expect focused hair removal and an immediate smoothing of the skin surface. The procedure is confined to the upper lip so results are precise and limited to the treated area, letting you keep surrounding skin unaffected.
This is a short, single-area treatment designed for fast results: the listed duration is 5 MINUTES and the price is $6. Because the appointment is brief, it’s suitable for people who need a quick touch-up before work, a meeting, or plans in the Gramercy Park and Kips Bay area.
Before and after care
Preparing is simple: arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the upper lip so the wax can adhere properly. Avoid heavy exfoliation or harsh chemical treatments on the lip area the day of your appointment to reduce sensitivity. If you have sensitive skin or specific concerns, mention them when booking so the technician can adapt the approach within the salon’s standard procedures.
Aftercare focuses on gentle handling: cleanse the area with a mild, fragrance-free product and avoid aggressive scrubbing for a short period. For comfort, customers commonly prefer to skip immediate heat treatments or intense sun exposure near the treated area for a brief interval. If you experience unexpected irritation, contact the salon for guidance rather than applying strong home remedies.
Timing and appointment convenience
At 5 MINUTES per appointment and a $6 price point, Upper Lip waxing is designed for people with limited time. The quick duration makes it a practical option for evening and weekend bookings favored by busy professionals and students who commute through Midtown. The short service also fits same-day plans for shoppers or visitors in the Flatiron and Madison Square Park area.
Heena’s Threading Salon Kips Bay is convenient for clients coming from Manhattan, Brooklyn, Hoboken, Jersey City, Long Island City, and Williamsburg. Located near the 23rd Street subway station and FDR Drive, the salon is easy to reach before or after commutes, making short appointments fit naturally into a busy New York schedule.
