The verdict on the eyebrow-waxing: not too bad. She didn’t even give me time to get worried. Just slapped on some wax, pressed some paper on it, and RIIIIIIP! My brows have never been so sleek and smooth. That was seven bucks well spent.

Kris–if it was “not too bad” the first time, then you’re SO set for life (it gets less painful every time). It’s not the manliest thing in the world to admit, but I have had my eyebrows waxed on a monthly basis for like five years now. Otherwise, I’d be the dreaded “Mr. Monobrow” that we all make fun of. My haircutting dude knows to leave men’s brows thicker and not “sculpted”-looking, and I’m absolutely addicted to it (it totally makes the brows look so clean and perfect). I often schedule my haircuts just because what I really want is to get my eyebrows fixed.
And one more thing: One of my greatest “teacher moments” was last year before the prom, when I convinced not one but TWO male students that their girlfriends would go crazy over them if they’d get their monobrows waxed (I’m very blunt) for the big night, and they took my advice and told me later that I was right! Hooray for the teachers of America, huh? 🙂

I wish that Justin would let me fix his brows. He doesn’t have a monobrow or anything… Still, they’re soooo bad. He’s got the big bushy Italian eyebrows going. He’s naturally got a nice shape to them… But he runs away and hides when I come at him with the tweezers. And you KNOW he’s too manly to get them waxed. 😉

J.’s eyebrows are perfect except for this one crazy hair in his left brow. when i notice it, i get so fixated that i can’t stand still until he lets me pull it out. sometimes i don’t even bother asking. then he gets mad. 😉

Yeah, I didn’t mind the eyebrows. I had no idea that guys got it done, but I can see the necessity there. My spa place also does, like, back waxing for men. OUCH.
They do some pretty dodgy things too, like eyelash tinting and perming. I thought that stuff was pretty much outlawed in the U.S.?

Oh, forgot to mention, the Snook has nice eyebrows. He hates me tweezing mine; he feels I’m mutilating myself. I told him it’s either that, or I look like a monster.

Hmm. Personally, I’ll take a guy who plucks over a guy with a unibrow anyday, but that’s just me.
