Has anyone had their eyebrows professionally plucked. I have just made an appointment locally to have this done the week before Christmas, so that I do not look like a Russian shot putter, so to speak.LOLOL

Oh hello JULIAAAA

I've not had this done, though I have plucked them myself years ago and it flippin' hurts! Put me off and I've never had it done since. But they do say having them waxed hurts less, and lasts longer.

I have had mine waxed but for some reason the right side always hurts and the left does not dont know why lol

I have mine waxed first, and then they pluck out the strays.
The waxing doesn't really hurt too much but the plucking has me fidgeting and yelping a little bit.

I've had mine waxed and I was very pleased with the result.

I have fair hair and didn't think it mattered before but I was going to a wedding and having 'proper' make up done. I was amazed at the difference.

I'm going to get them done again soon.

TeresaW, you have just reminded me of something. Years ago, about 45 years to be exact, I was going to a works 'do' with OH. I put some Veet O on my eyebrows, as I was ironing my outfit, and forgot about it. When I wiped it off, all me eyebrows came off. Saving grace was that I wore and still do, glasses, do I drew some eyebrowes in and put the specs. on
What a laugh.

I just started having mine done Julia.Just a tidy and thinned a little.Not plucked within an inch of my life lol.It's fine ,I have quite straight eyebrows and have never reaally done anything with them.Since I have had them done It makes me look a bit less frowny.If you get my meaning.
My daughter has hers waxed.I find the plucking quite relaxing as it feels like gentle nibbling.It doesn't hurt at all.
Just think how bootiful you will look.

same as unsub, and also I get my hairdresser to pluck out any strays (sorry Stray lol) and inspect my chin (horrid to be getting old innit?!)
several friends (including hairdresser) have them threaded, where they wind cotton round and pull them out that way - I don't fancy that much though lol
xxxxxxx

oi stop having me plucked lololol

no iv never had it done lol but all my mates do, cnt hurt tht much if thy keep goign bck for more lol x

*Takes note....Julia looks like a meercat*

torture just isn't my thing lol

*Tries to delete mental image of a hairy-chinned Maz*

I draw the line in having me chin done in public, I do it meself. Boy oh boy, it does hurt sometimes, and me tash. I am a very dark haired person. But funnily enough, I have never had to shave my legs.

pmsl. I use hedge trimmers,keeps my beard tidy.

Now I do have to shave my legs, they are as hairy as a man's legs, and the pits.

But I draw the line at having other bits done....noooooooo *crosses legs*

I leave mine au naturel....(ooops *blushes* just seen TWs earlier reply .....I was talking about me eyebrows !!!!!!! pmsl)..but my sister has hers threaded and tbh I can't tell the difference lol xx

My DIL had very bushy eyebrows. She goes every 6-8 i think to have them waxed.,looks a lot tidier.
Me, i've got to dye mine to see them lol

"cant hurt taht much if they keep going back for more " - you've obviously never been waxed Stray - it hurts like hell, but you still go back !!!
TW cheeky! I haven't got a hairy chin, they get plucked out pdq either by me or the hairdresser! trouble is that as a v short-sighted AND long-sighted specs wearer, it's sometimes really difficult to see where they are!
a friend of my mum has a horrid 'beard' - I can't understand how her daughter can just leave her like it, I used to attack my mum at the first sight of a whisker lol
xxxxxxxx

You need varifocals like mine Maz...except I get 'nodding dog syndrome' sometimes, trying to see through the right bits.

Oooh Teresa, tried them varifocals a few years ago. Couldn't see the causey end. I looked , and actrded as if I was tiddly, and hadn't had a drop LOLOL
