Eyebrow wax

**mumof3monkeys** · 15-05-2012 22:39

So my eyebrows tend to grow thick and FAST ! And dare I say it I have never had anything waxed the whole hurt factor scares me

So how much does it really hurt ? Once it is done does it stop stinging / hurting quite quickly ? I have always plucked them but due to bad hayfever & sinus problems the plucking makes me puffy and sneezy for a good few hours and I'm pretty sick of it and due to this the current state of my eyebrows resembles extremely furry caterpillar s

also how long until the hair grows back ? Thanks guys :thumbup:

It doesnt hurt. Its a quick tug and thats it. Barely even stings afterwards either. A good waxer will put her nice cool fingers on there for a second after she pulls the strip off which feels nice

Its worth the really quick millisecond of minimal pain.
Get them to trim the hair too...if yours grow thick it will look less bushy and more tidy. Go for it!

It really doesn't hurt much at all. Maybe you should have a brazilian first so an eyebrow wax can feel like a walk in the park ; )
Personally, I don't think it hurts. It's a 2 second thing. You can ask the beautician to press on the area with her fingers as soon as she pulls the wax strip off = )
Good luck. You don't need it though. It's really not bad x

I think it depends on the wax they use. Some is much gentler than others. It only stings for a fraction of a second then it's over. It never lingers.

Thanks ladies, no idea why I'm scared of having it done I have birthed 3 kids and um freaking about this lol! May pluck up the courage this weekend. Also would I need to book in to have it done ?

I need to book where I go. Just call and check I reckon. Good luck (not that you'll need it)

Yeah what everyone else said

I get mine done every 2-3 weeks

It doesnt hurt. Ive found eye brows is the only area that isnt painful to wax IMO. Depending where you go can cost around $15-18 mark. I get mine done once a month.

doesn't hurt haha I can't stand plucking as it hurts! waxing is quick and easy

the place I go to I don't have to book normally fine to just walk in

or they tell me to come back in 10 mins as they have one girl in the salon who is just waxing

I have only ever had my eyebrows done 3 times coz of the pain but i have a low tolerance of pain and my eyes water something cronic too. Hurts when they take the wax off which takes all of 2 secs.

Goodluck and hope it goes well for you.
