Today, as I was getting my nails done at a salon, the owner pulled my head back against the chair in front of all the customers and began to tweeze my eyebrows. When I exclaimed that I didn't pay for that service, she replied, "I don't care. This needs done." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a client refused to pay for the nails I spent nearly three hours doing, because apparently it's her birthday and "you don't pay for birthday nails." She refused to pay, and we locked her inside the salon. She threw a bitch fit and rolled on the ground like a worm, kicking and screaming until the cops arrived. FML
Today, I went to get my eyebrows waxed at a korean salon. I have never been there before and it's hard to understand their accents. The women asked me if I wanted "them all off". Not fully understanding what she said, I agreed. When she showed me the mirror, she had taken off my whole eyebrow. FML
Today, I got my eyebrows waxed. The lady who waxed my eyebrows also decided to pop the big zit on my forehead. She charged me a dollar extra. FML
Today, when getting my eyebrows waxed, the lady cursed "oh shit!" under her breath, right after waxing half of my brow off. FML
Today, I decided to treat myself to a pedicure ahead of my cousin's wedding. The woman doing my nails asked if I wanted my toe hairs trimmed. I was so taken aback and embarrassed that I said yes. They charged me extra. FML
Today, I went to get a haircut. The hairdresser at the counter was kind of cute, so I had to say something non-standard. When she greeted me with her hello, I replied, "Guess what I need from you today?" She looked at me, considered, and replied, "An eyebrow wax?" FML
Today, I went to have my eyebrows waxed for the first time. After signing in the receptionist looked at me and said "Lip wax?". I told her no, my eyebrows. She sat me down and the waxer walked up, took one look at me and said "Lip wax?" FML
Today, I was getting a pedicure, and they used some sort of scrubby thing that really tickled my feet. When I couldn't take it any more, I accidentally kicked the lady who was doing my nails in the face. FML
Today, an incredibly rude woman came in for a hairdressing appointment. I had to put up with being yelled at and called a "clumsy bitch," a "pleb," and other insults for almost half an hour. When I finally managed to finish her hair, instead of tipping me, she spat at my feet and stormed out. FML
Today, it was was my first day back at work as an esthetician. My first client refused to remove her face mask so I could perform the service. She demanded I just do her forehead, and that she’d only pay a third of the price since she’s only getting that part done. I refused and was written up by management. FML

Hey you got lucky with eyebrow shaping while the rest of us gotta pay

No we don't. You can also do it yourself. If you get a bit tweezer happy, hide it with your fringe it'll be back soon :) No point in paying someone to do it.

I like how you said to hide it with bangs, when not everyone has "fringe." I pay someone to do it so they look good. I don't want to play tweezers roulette.

I had one tell me "ya you need" in regards to eyebrow wax. My friend almost fell off chair laughing.

Why is everyone saying 'hey free service'? No, that's not okay. What if OP liked her eyebrows? What gives that lady the right to force a stranger to change their appearence because they thought it was unacceptable. If someone tried that on me I would want to punch them in the face.

Eyebrows grow back. It's really not that big of a deal. Especially not big enough to punch the woman...

It seems her eyebrows made the owner of the salon want to punch OP in the face. Unless she strives to be Peter Gallagher, a uni-brow is not okay!

#21 your hair grows back but you'd be pissed off if someone decided they didn't like it and cut it off.

A unibrow is OK if OP is OK with it. Arbitrary societal judgements like these is what makes me want to punch someone in the face.

I agree with #20 & #56, people shouldn't be going around and pushing their views of what they perceive as attractive down other people's throats (or eyebrows in this case). OP was happy with the way she is so why should some broad force her opinions on her. I hope OP didn't tip and bitched her out for this.

OP's not there anymore, dipshit.

What the owner did was rude, embarrassing, and completely unprofessional. OP, there must be someone you can make a complaint with, although I'm not sure how to go about that process. But if the owner of this shop is making a habit of this behavior, then that's not okay and potential customers should somehow be made aware of this. Sorry that happened to you.

Simple solution is to never go back there and to warn her friends and family.

That was completely rude and unprofessional. No business owner should treat clients like that. Are you people insane?! Yeah, sure, she got her eyebrows done for free, but think about this: if you were in her situation, would you feel comfortable if someone did that to you? Especially if you weren't prepared for it?

I don't know about that, if someone did that to my eyebrows I'd probably have a fit, but I prefer thicker eyebrows.
