Monica Cornell-Benoit

Certified Electrologist, Aesthetician, Cosmetic Tattoo Artist & Instructor

Hi, I’m Monica—also known as Mona! I’m a certified Electrologist, Aesthetician, and Cosmetic Tattoo Artist, proudly holding multiple certifications from top institutions across British Columbia. I work from a cozy boutique salon in beautiful West Vancouver, BC, where I’ve been perfecting my craft for nearly six years.

My journey into electrolysis is very personal. After undergoing laser hair removal treatments years ago, I experienced paradoxical hypertrichosis, an unexpected side effect where unwanted hair growth worsened instead of improving. I also struggled with painful ingrown hairs. Discovering electrolysis was life-changing for me, and the results inspired me to become certified so I could help others facing the same challenges. This personal experience gives me a unique perspective, and I approach every client with care, compassion, and understanding.

I’m equally passionate about cosmetic tattooing, with a focus on creating natural, beautiful results for brows, lips, and eyeliner. My approach emphasizes each client’s unique features while minimizing trauma to the skin—a delicate balance of precision and artistry that I take great pride in.

Skincare is another area I love deeply. Helping clients achieve clean, glowing, and healthy skin is incredibly rewarding. Every treatment is tailored to individual needs, combining technique, experience, and high-quality products to deliver real results.

Staying current with the latest trends and techniques is important to me. I regularly attend professional beauty shows worldwide—including Las Vegas, New York City, Vancouver, and Paris, France. These experiences keep me inspired, educated, and connected with the global beauty community, allowing me to bring the best techniques and innovations back to my clients.

Helping people feel confident and comfortable in their own skin is the most rewarding part of what I do, and I look forward to welcoming you to my salon.
