Lip Threading
Lip Threading at Beauty By Lala in Lodi, NJ starts at $5 and removes hair from the upper lip, lower lip and the corners of the mouth with a twisted cotton thread rather than wax, which suits sensitive skin and leaves a precise line.
Threading removes hair from the upper lip, lower lip and the corners of the mouth using a length of twisted cotton thread rolled across the skin, which catches a whole row of hairs and lifts them out at the follicle. Nothing adhesive is applied, so no layer of skin is pulled away with the hair — that is why it suits sensitive facial skin, and why it is usually the better choice if you use retinoids or acids, where waxing is often not advised. The thread also follows a line precisely, so the shape it leaves is cleaner than wax can manage on small areas.
Benefits
A Line You Can Follow
The thread takes a single row of hair at a time, so the edge along the lip is set exactly where you want it rather than wherever a wax strip happened to end.
Nothing Adhesive on the Lip
No wax and no strip, so nothing is pulled off the surface of the skin. The lip is among the thinnest skin on the face, which is why that matters here.
Workable Alongside Retinoids and Acids
Waxing is usually ruled out if you use retinoids or acids. Threading is not, because there is nothing stuck to the skin to lift.
Removed at the Follicle
Hair is lifted out at the root rather than cut, so it returns fine and tapered instead of blunt — the same regrowth as waxing, without the wax.
What to Expect
- 1
Consultation and Preparation
Ghazala checks how much you want taken — the upper lip alone, or the lower lip and corners as well — and asks about sensitivity. The area is cleansed.

Threading
A twisted cotton thread is rolled across the lip, catching a row of hairs and lifting them out at the follicle. The skin is held taut with one hand while the thread works.

Finishing Touches
Any hairs left behind are tidied, then a calming lotion over the lip.

Aftercare Guidance
The lip may be pink for a short while. Keep makeup off it for the rest of the day, avoid heat, and it settles quickly.
