Chin Waxing
Chin Waxing at Beauty By Lala in Lodi, NJ has a starting price of $8 and helps soften the appearance of shadowing from hair beneath the surface.
Chin waxing covers the chin itself, the underside of the jaw and the area just below the lower lip. A wax formulated for facial skin is applied in small sections following the growth, then lifted against it — small sections, because chin hair often grows in more than one direction and the angle has to change as Ghazala works. Dark hair sitting just beneath the surface reads as a grey cast across the chin, and removing it at the follicle takes that shadow with it in a way tweezing one hair at a time does not. Facial hair grows faster than body hair, so the chin comes round every two to three weeks rather than monthly.
Benefits
Two to Three Weeks on the Chin
Facial hair grows faster than body hair, so the chin comes round sooner than the legs would. Two to three weeks is the usual gap.
Under the Jaw as Well
The service covers the chin, its underside and the strip just below the lower lip — the places you notice in a car mirror rather than a bathroom one.
Softens the Shadow
Dark hair sitting under the surface reads as a grey cast. Removing it at the root takes the shadow with it.
Foundation Stops Catching
Fine hair holds foundation and it dries in patches around it. On bare skin it goes on flat.
What to Expect
- 01
Consultation and Preparation
Ghazala checks whether you use retinoids or acids — either thins the surface enough to make waxing the face unwise — and looks at which way the hair is growing. The chin is cleansed and a pre-wax oil goes on.
- 02
Wax Application and Removal
A wax made for facial skin is applied in small sections with the growth and lifted off against it. Chin hair often grows more than one way, so the sections stay small and the angles change.
- 03
Finishing Touches
Stray hairs are tweezed, then a calming lotion. The chin may stay pink for an hour, less once the skin is used to it.
- 04
Aftercare Guidance
Leave makeup off the area for the rest of the day and keep acids, scrubs and retinoids off it for a few days. Heat, a hot shower included, will bring the redness back up while it settles.
