wormie 0 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I wax my eyebrows at a salon. It's the best thing ever! It doesnt hurt as much as youd think, they leave them so perfect...I could never leave them that way. But man, they get EVERY last baby hair. It works for me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sweet_angel_590 0 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I useally pluck between my eyebrows, & wax above and below. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sunnychic 0 Share Posted July 1, 2003 i get my eyebrows "stringed" where i go to a salon and they use thread to pull the hairs out--it hurts a LOT but not more than waxing or plucking, and it looks VERY clean, and doesnt put a bunch of crap on ur face--AND waxing can give u wrinkles later on as well!

Narleta 0 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I get mine waxed every few months just to get them shaped and maintain with plucking at home. Use an ice cube to numb the area a bit if the plucking bothers you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chickenfever 0 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 it seems after i plucked it still leaves something behind....what should i do? use bleach creame? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kristiana 0 Share Posted July 2, 2003 everyone has those fine hairs on their faces that are impossible to pluck out one by one, even after you've gotten rid of the main eyebrow hairs. And because we're both fair asians, our fine hair looks darker. So, I do what you just said: I pluck the main hairs and then bleach the rest. I've been doing it for years. It looks pretty good.

Anikitten 0 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I get mine waxed but a word of advice, make sure you go to a good salon to get it done. I know of one girl who went to a "new place" and they ended up causing some damage to her eyes because in the middle of waxing one of the eyebrows she went and answered the phone.

marytylermoore 0 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Hi, You mustn't use hair removal cream on your eye brows. Not only is it an alkaline chemical which will eat away at the proteins in the skin, but it is unruly and can cause an uneven finish. I recommend getting your eye brows done professionally at a salon once a month and maintaining them weekly at home by plucking any stray hairs. I don't recommend waxing above the brow because it would result in a very artificial finish. If you try and bleach the hairs around your eye brows, the cream would be quite unruly and you might end up bleaching your brows unevenly resulting in a bad finish. Fine hairs are not noticable, and everyone has them - so don't worry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flipgirl 0 Share Posted August 1, 2003 1. Do not use hair removal creams anywhere near your eyes!! If those creams can weaken the hair fibre think what it can do to your eyes! 2. Find a salon that does threading - it feels like plucking but it's precise, doesn't pull your skin like waxing. They do the hair between your eyes too! Tweezing you can do but,as an obsessive eyebrow plucker, I find that tweezing leaves all the fine hairs out! I just go get them threaded every 2 or 3 months and maintain with tweezers in between. Get Tweezerman tweezers with the slanted edge - expensive but worth every penny! 3. If you choose to wax, try to find someone skilled. If they pull the wax off slowly, then it will cause your skin to sag. If they pull it off quickly, then it's less likely (not avoidable but postponable - ok not a word but you know what I mean!) I know because now I dont' need sunglasses because my eyelids are like hoods over my eyes! hahaha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doctatight 0 Share Posted August 2, 2003 I get mine waxed every 2 months (im a guy and if i dont i grow a unibrow.....but i have em tough up my eyebrows and shape em a bit, but not girly).

marytylermoore 0 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Hi, If you find a salon in a reputable place, as for the head beauty therapist. Talk to her and ask her to do your eye brows in a subtle and masculine way. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lori_lee 0 Share Posted August 24, 2003 I shave between my eyebrows. I am a blond, and have done it for years without any problems. Fast and easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cate 0 Share Posted August 29, 2003 pluck your eyebrows after a shower that way your pores will be opened up more, so that when you remove the hair, it doesn't hurt as much. I find that using an icecube to numb the area doesn't help. I don't recommend using hair removal cream because it might get in your eyes, and anything that smells as bad as removal cream, wouldn't be that great for your legs, let alone your eyes.

Guest june Share Posted September 25, 2003 plucking is best for acned skin...the best tweezers out there is rubis...super sharp and will get every single hair out...better than tweezermans. most places do not carry this swiss made brand so if you don't live in europe or ny go to blisslab.com and order them through there...expensive, but i have had mine for 5 year and get it sharpened twice a year. hair removal creams? blah!

prettybow 0 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I pluck my eyebrows, but always shave the area between them, cause plucking there ALWAYS makes pimples come. Shaving there has been perfect for me... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OursFan 3 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I just found this interesting website that describes a process of hair removal called threading: http://www.sulekha.com/chpost.asp?forum=sanch&cid=2317 I supposed you would have to call around to find out who does it in your area.

Guest june Share Posted September 29, 2003 threading hurts alot, but very affective... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flipgirl 0 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I dont' find threading painful at all. It feels just like tweezing. But it's the best method ever - doesn't pull skin, your eyebrows look natural and you don't get the little black dots like you do from tweezing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sweet_angel_590 0 Share Posted November 28, 2003 hey, for the girls who get their eyebrows waxed at a salon, do you take pics of how you want them to look, or just let the stylist handle it? thanks!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jai 0 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I get mine waxed every 10 days or so. I have very light skin and very dark hair, so I have to keep the brow area clean or you can see the hair. I do tweeze the hairs when I'm not able to get to thet salon, but I try to make it a priority to do so because not only does it keep that area hair free, the girl who does my brows is AWESOME at shaping them. I love the way they look when I'm done. I've had them threaded before too, and that works, but I prefer waxing b/c I get a much cleaner line and there's less stray hairs left behind. If you are tweezing and there are still hairs left behind, you might want to try waxing or threading since it's quick and effective. Good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jai 0 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Hey Sweet Angel50 ~ I don't take a picture. The girl who does mine just follows my natural arch and shapes them accordingly. I imagine you could bring a picture, but you have to make sure that you are realistic with your expectations, just like you would be when getting a new hairstyle.
