Eternal theme of the beautician (7)

I believe the answer is:

ageless

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'eternal' is the definition.
(I know that eternal can be written as ageless)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for ageless that I've seen before include "Lasting a long time" , "Sea-legs (anag.)" , "not appearing to get old" , "Not appearing to grow older" , "impossible to date" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
