how long will it stay red for?

It doesn't hurt much at all. I don't think it's nearly as sensitive as eyebrows (but I never had those done). Stays red for one a hour maybe, not longer. What I find really helps is a very thick layer of sudocream. Of course, not really an option when your coming out of a salon!

I get my lip and brows done. I now usually do my own lip unless my brows need done at the same time i ge tthem both done at salon.

It does hurt more than your brows and stays red for no more than an hour or so but mayb bit longer for your first time. Mine usually needs done every 4ish weeks but sometimes pluck the odd stray in between - I am very dark haired and pale skinned so it is a must.

I find I get spotty if I have my 'moustache' waxed. I tend to just do it with my epilator now
