Why Choose Eyebrow Waxing?
Lightning Fast Results
Complete eyebrow shaping in just 10-15 minutes. Perfect for busy schedules - pop in during lunch or between errands. Our efficient technique means you're in and out quickly without compromising on precision or quality.
Gentle Exfoliation Included
Waxing naturally removes dead skin cells along with hair, leaving your brow area smoother and more radiant. This gentle exfoliation can improve product absorption and create a perfect canvas for makeup application.
Precision Shaping
Create sharp, clean brow lines with exceptional precision. Waxing removes multiple hairs in one smooth motion, ensuring symmetrical, well-defined brows that frame your eyes beautifully and complement your facial structure.
Long-Lasting Smoothness
Enjoy 3-4 weeks of perfectly shaped brows. Waxing removes hair from the root, and with regular treatments, regrowth becomes finer and sparser, potentially extending time between appointments to 5-6 weeks.
Suitable for All Skin Types
Our premium low-temperature wax formulations are designed for facial skin sensitivity. We offer specialized gentle wax for sensitive skin and conduct patch tests when needed. Proper technique ensures safe treatment for all skin types.
Excellent Value
At just £10 for professional eyebrow shaping that lasts 3-4 weeks, waxing offers exceptional value. Less frequent appointments mean lower long-term costs compared to other hair removal methods requiring weekly maintenance.
Pain Management & What to Expect
Understanding the Sensation
Most clients describe eyebrow waxing as a quick, sharp sensation that subsides within seconds - similar to removing a bandage. The discomfort is momentary and far less intense than tweezing individual hairs repeatedly. First-time clients often report it's much easier than anticipated. Pain tolerance varies by individual, but our experienced therapists work swiftly to minimize discomfort.
Tips to Minimize Discomfort
Before Your Appointment:
- ✓Take ibuprofen 30 minutes before (if medically appropriate)
- ✓Avoid scheduling during menstrual cycle when pain sensitivity peaks
- ✓Skip caffeine which can increase skin sensitivity
- ✓Avoid alcohol which thins blood and increases sensitivity
During Treatment:
- ✓Breathe deeply and exhale during wax removal
- ✓Let your therapist know if you need a brief pause
- ✓We apply soothing aloe gel immediately after
- ✓Our swift technique minimizes overall discomfort time
What Happens During Your Treatment
Eyebrow Waxing for Your Skin Type
Sensitive Skin
We use specialized gentle wax formulations designed for sensitive skin. Pre-wax oil creates a protective barrier, and we conduct patch tests if you have concerns.
Preparation: Avoid retinoids/acids 48hrs before. Inform us of any skin conditions. Request our sensitive formula.
Oily Skin
Waxing is excellent for oily skin! The process removes excess oil along with hair, and wax adheres well to oily skin for effective hair removal.
Bonus: Gentle exfoliation helps prevent clogged pores. Results often last longer on oily skin due to better wax adhesion.
Dry Skin
Moisturize well in the days before your appointment, but arrive with clean, product-free brows. We apply hydrating post-wax treatment immediately after.
Aftercare: Keep the area moisturized with fragrance-free lotion after 24 hours. Gentle exfoliation prevents dry skin buildup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prepare for my eyebrow waxing appointment in Gosforth?
Arrive with clean, makeup-free brows. Avoid retinoids and exfoliating acids for 48 hours beforehand as these thin the skin. If you're new to waxing, let your brows grow out for 2-3 weeks so there's enough hair for the wax to grip. Avoid caffeine before your appointment as it can increase skin sensitivity. If you have sensitive skin, inform your therapist so we can use our gentle formulation and conduct a patch test.
Does eyebrow waxing hurt, and how can I minimize discomfort?
Most clients describe eyebrow waxing as a quick, tolerable sensation - far less discomfort than tweezing individual hairs. The pain is momentary and subsides within seconds. To minimize discomfort: avoid scheduling during your menstrual cycle when pain sensitivity peaks, take an over-the-counter pain reliever 30 minutes before, and avoid alcohol which can thin blood and increase sensitivity. Our experienced therapists work swiftly and apply soothing aloe immediately after. First-time clients often report it's much easier than expected.
How long do eyebrow waxing results last?
Eyebrow waxing results typically last 3-4 weeks, though this varies based on individual hair growth rates. Because waxing removes hair from the root, results last significantly longer than shaving or trimming. With regular waxing every 3-4 weeks, many clients notice their hair grows back finer and sparser, potentially extending time between appointments to 5-6 weeks. We'll help you establish a maintenance schedule that keeps your brows looking perfectly shaped.
Eyebrow waxing vs threading - which is better for me in Gosforth?
Eyebrow waxing is ideal if you prefer speed and efficiency - the entire process takes just 10-15 minutes compared to 15-20 for threading. Choose waxing if you have normal to oily skin, want the added benefit of gentle exfoliation (removing dead skin cells), or prefer longer-lasting results. Waxing also precisely shapes the brow line in one smooth motion. However, choose threading instead if you have very sensitive skin, are using retinoids or acids, have active breakouts near the brow area, or prefer absolutely no heat contact with skin. Our Gosforth salon offers both services - your therapist can recommend the best option during your consultation.
Is eyebrow waxing suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, eyebrow waxing can be excellent for sensitive skin when performed correctly. We use premium low-temperature wax formulations specifically designed for facial skin, which minimize heat exposure and irritation. Our therapists apply pre-waxing oil to create a protective barrier and use single-use applicators for hygiene. For very sensitive skin, we recommend: arriving with clean skin free of makeup, avoiding active ingredients (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs) 48 hours before, requesting our sensitive skin wax formula, and applying our soothing aloe gel immediately after. If you have conditions like rosacea or eczema near the brow area, threading might be a gentler alternative - we're happy to discuss both options.
What aftercare should I follow after eyebrow waxing?
For the first 24 hours after eyebrow waxing: avoid touching the waxed area, skip makeup on and around the brows, avoid hot showers/saunas/steam rooms, skip intense exercise that causes sweating, and don't apply active skincare ingredients (retinoids, acids, vitamin C). Apply our recommended soothing aloe gel or a fragrance-free moisturizer. For 48 hours: avoid sun exposure or wear SPF 30+ on the area, and avoid swimming in chlorinated pools. After 48 hours, gently exfoliate weekly to prevent ingrown hairs. If any redness persists beyond 24 hours or you notice bumps, contact our Gosforth salon for advice. Proper aftercare ensures optimal results and healthy skin.
