I got my lip pierced on the right side in April. I'm 18. I really want a snakebite, but now that I have a job, it would be hard to hide a new piercing.

I work on Saturday and then I don't work again until Wednesday, so I was thinking about piercing my lip on Saturday night with a long labret, letting it heal until Wednesday morning, and replacing it with a clear retainer. I bought sterilized 14 gauge needles, gloves, alcohol wipes, and the labret and retainer.

Is that enough time to let it heal?

No, it's not long enough. Repeatedly taking out a fresh piercing and changing it only aggravates it and makes the healing process longer.
Why don't you talk to your boss about it first?
