Al Bustan is an established Ajman neighbourhood of low villas, older apartment blocks and small shopfronts, close enough to the centre that most errands are done on foot. Salons here have regulars who have been coming for years, and brow waxing is often bundled into a wider visit rather than booked alone. Salonist shows which Al Bustan rooms offer it, what they charge, and when they actually have a chair free this week rather than leaving you to ring round the parade of shops.
The wax itself is straightforward. After a cleanse, the hairs are brushed into their natural fall and the therapist marks where the head, arch and tail should sit. Warm wax then goes on above the brow, along the lower line and across the space between the two, and comes away against the growth. Hard wax is chosen on the face because it needs no fabric strip, so the pull is on the hair rather than on the fine skin over the eye.
Tweezers close the job, picking up the strays that wax leaves behind so the pair matches. Beforehand, expect a quick check of what you use on your face: retinoids, glycolic and salicylic acids and Accutane are all reasons to postpone, because the skin can lift with the wax. A little redness for ten or fifteen minutes is normal, and the cooling gel applied at the end brings it down quickly.
Keep the sun, the sauna and heavy brow make-up away for the next day. Adding an upper lip while you are in the chair is the usual pairing here. For more choice of times, the diaries in Al Nuaimia 1, Al Rumailah 1, Al Nakhil and Al Rashidiya 1 are all within a few minutes of Al Bustan.
Threading remains common in this neighbourhood and it costs less, but a wax finishes faster and gives a harder edge, which suits brows that refill within a couple of weeks. If your hairs are fine or your skin flushes easily, the thread may still be kinder. Come back in three to four weeks either way. Salonist lists 15,000+ businesses across 60+ countries with 2 million+ reviews, so you can compare Al Bustan salons and pay through the app.
