Waxing Brows

I'm thinking to start waxing my eyebrows - just tired of plucking and I want to try this. Bare with these few stupid questions, I'm really clueless:

1. How long do the brows have to be for waxing? I haven't plucked for a couple days and they are obvious, but I can hide behind my glasses. I'm not quite sure when I'll go (maybe wed) but I just want to be sure..

2. Do they wax or shape the top brow part too? Or just the bottom?

3. ANd how long does it last? And roughly how much does it cost?


I'm also thinking about waxing my lip a bit on the sides. Its not bad but I always thought that when it grows back there, it's too obvious & grows more? Thoughts? Should I do it there too?

Re: Waxing Brows

Hi stef---------i have my brows and upper lip done about every 2-3 weeks. sometimes they grow faster than otheres. i get them done when i think they are starting to look bad. some technicians do only the bottom and some do top and bottom. some will leave it up to you. i have paid anywhere from $12 to $22 for both depending on the salon.

Re: Waxing Brows

Waxing is a simple and fast process that i think you'll like once you get used to the discomfort of them pulling the wax off. to answer your questions:

1) I would wait about two weeks for your eyebrows to fully grow back in before going in for a wax (unless your hair grows back faster than that). you can go sooner but it's been my experience that the more hair that is already there, the better the beautician can define a good eyebrow line.

2) Because it is a service that they are doing to make you look good, i would have them do the top and bottom. most beauticians do the top and bottom, unless you say otherwise. if you're not sure, it doesn't hurt to ask them to make sure they get both top and bottom done.

3) Waxing results can last for about a month with maintenance. depending on how fast your hair grows back, plucking for you will be a lot easier afterwards since the hairs will grow back finer and some hair stops growing altogether once you start getting them regularly waxed. i'm able to maintain my eyebrows for a while so i save money at the same time. depending on where you go, eyebrow waxing costs anywhere between $12-$20. not too bad.

as far as waxing your upper lip, if it isn't really noticeable, i wouldn't wax it. hair removal is such maintenance as it is, if you can keep it to one main area like your eyebrows, you'll be fine. plus, the upper lip is such a sensitive area, i'd hate for you to take the risk of getting it irritated from waxing. i'd say just stick with the brows for now.
