However, I have been waxing my upper lip for as long as I can remember now and the pain is tolerable (and with time, you get used to it). It doesn't leave any spots or rashes although occasionaly there is some temporary redness which usually disappears in a few minutes. I would definatly say go for it lop. Try ready to use Veet wax strips for face. I think they cost about �5 but last for ages. Also, waxing means hair free skin for ages. It's important to remember everyones skin is different so try waxing a small part of the area first - I know that'd be hard on your upper lip!!
PS I think you'd feel more pain with plucking as you pull the hair out one at a time but with waxing, it's all off in one pull. Also, hair removing creams are not meant to be good in the long run as I have many friends who speak negative of them - they can cause pigmentation over time due to harsh chemicals contained within them! Also, you're not really 'hair free' for long. Sorry for a long answer, i'll go now.
I have my upper lip waxed, and there are more enjoyable things I could be doing in that time, yes....but I imagine plucking your entire upper lip hurts a lot more. My therapist tweezes the odd one out that she misses, and it really stings! The pain with waxing is only momentary, and it takes a couple of minutes.
Also, depending on your colouring, and thickness of hair, you could stay hair free for weeks, and eventually, the hair is likely grow back thinner if the waxer is doing it properly. I would recomend giving it a go once at least.
