    I think you could wax it at home. It's not like the brows where if you make a mistake it's a total disaster - no-one is going to notice that you took off a bit too much moustache on one side and made your mo uneven. You could try the Nads wand because it doesn't need heating or anything and it comes with mo sized strips.

    Or you could shave it and use some rogaine on the area to encourage it. One of my friends has a fake moustache and she looks rather dashing

    Get it done, eyebrow and lip, will cost about $20 and it stings, it is the most ouchie area I have found for me to get waxed, but only hurts in the instant then it is gone.
    Easy, takes less than 10 minutes for me to get my face done (eyebrow lip and chin - come back and talk to me when you grow a beard ;p)

    You can do it yourself at home, use HOT wax, not strip. And buy a tub of wax, not any of the wands or pre-coated strip things.

    Nair it. They have a specific one for upper lip.

    I get mine waxed now. I would sometimes get my brows waxed, mostly dealing with plucking them, but it was my hairy lip that now makes me get a regular booking. Lip waxing does not add much to the price. It is a bit owie, but worth it. I am happy to sacrifice other things to get waxed every 3 weeks.

    i was in denial for years about my top lip. some of DHs friends would even comment on it! i would get so angry and upset. so one day when i was getting my brows waxed, i asked for lip.. and never looked back. i'm a SOOK when it comes to pain.. and it's really not even bad. i can't believe i let myself be in denial for so many years... mustaches on ladies is just a no no IMO i hate it!! i have been using the wax strips at home and it's DESTROYING my lip, do NOT buy them.. i'm not sure what to do.. wax at my normal place or use nair removal cream.. i just cbf going to the salon often.. does nair removal cream work? does it make it spikey? ughhh gross

    Nads is a necessity in my bathroom cabinet, I swear my moustache comes in overnight! I Nair right before bed, and all the redness is gone by morning. I hafta use it on my beard as well, because really, what's a beard without a moustache? I use the wax wand for my eyebrows though, it's much easier than having depilatory cream near your eye for 10 minutes.
