About Waxing
Brow waxing uses warm wax to remove unwanted hair around the brows quickly and cleanly, giving a defined, tidy line with smooth skin between and beneath the brows. It's faster than tweezing and lasts longer, with regrowth finer over time.
Mona shapes as she waxes, so the result is a flattering line rather than simply hair removal.

Is this treatment right for me?
Brow waxing suits most people. It isn't suitable on skin that's sunburnt, broken, or being treated with retinol, strong exfoliants or certain medications, in which case threading or tweezing is used instead.
You may be suitable if…
- You'd like quick, clean brow hair removal
- You want the smooth finish waxing gives
- Your skin isn't sunburnt or using retinol
- You'd like regrowth to become finer over time
Your consultation will consider…
- Skin condition — sunburn, retinol, peels or sensitivity rule wax out
- The shape that suits your face
- Any previous reaction to wax
- Whether to add a tint
What to expect
Before treatment
Avoid retinol and exfoliating acids on the area for a week, and let Mona know about any medication that thins the skin.
During treatment
Mona applies warm wax in small sections above, below and between the brows, removes it with a swift motion, tidies with tweezers and applies a soothing balm. Around ten to fifteen minutes.
After treatment
Avoid heat, sun, steam, heavy make-up and touching the area for the rest of the day. Pinkness settles within an hour.
Results & longevity
Smooth, defined brows immediately. Regrowth appears over three to five weeks; regular waxing every four to six weeks keeps the line clean and can make regrowth finer.
Recovery, side effects & aftercare
Brow and lash treatments have no downtime. Freshly tinted or lifted lashes and brows look their best straight away.
Side effects
Slight redness after waxing and, rarely, a mild reaction to tint or adhesive — which is why a patch test is required 24 hours before a first tint or extension treatment. Lash extensions can cause irritation if rubbed or if aftercare isn't followed.
Aftercare
Keep lashes and brows dry and free of make-up, oils and steam for 24 hours after tinting, lifting or extensions. Avoid rubbing your eyes. After waxing, avoid heat, sun and heavy make-up on the area for the rest of the day.
Please contact us if you notice itching, swelling or redness around the eyes after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does brow waxing hurt?
A brief sting as each strip is removed, over in a second. The area is soothed afterwards.
Can I have it if I use retinol?
Retinol thins the skin and waxing can lift it, so please stop using it on the area for a week beforehand — or Mona will thread or tweeze instead.
How long does it last?
Three to five weeks before regrowth shows; four to six weeks between appointments is typical.
Will I be red afterwards?
Slightly pink for up to an hour. It settles quickly with the balm applied.
Can I combine treatments?
Yes — brow and lash treatments are often combined, and there are package prices for popular pairings such as lash lift & tint or brow shape & tint.
How do I book, and where are the prices?
Book online, by phone or WhatsApp. Prices for all lash and brow treatments are on the Forever Young Beauty Clinic website — follow the link in the treatment details above.
