Top comment wins: I now have two mustaches on my face!! She sneezed away from me, thankfully not in my face. I felt the wax go everywhere. For some reason her gut reaction was to put the waxing paper on my eyebrow. Which made things a lot more difficult because they couldn't get to the wax. So they had to pick at the paper and peel that off the best they could. They tried warm compresses, and I'm not sure what different solvents they tried, but they did not work. My eye/face was getting so irritated I finally just told them I needed to leave. My friend helped me with baby oil which after a lot of patience worked. I'm still missing some parts. Thankfully they already called to offer me some various complimentary services.

Have the woman give you a free body massage as compensation for waxing off your eyebrow.
Could they try heating your eyebrows up and very carefully remove as much as they can while it's warm?
Like with a blow dryer.
or shave it out if possible. You dont want to wax it all, it all might not grow back! Waxing makes hair grow slower and finer. Shaving will mean it will grown faster too!
Oh man. I hope they offered some compensation of some sort, like some free waxes or something. Hey at least you can draw them on. Consider tattooing them on though, it doesn't look tacky like it used to. They can look very realistic.
Yeah.. I wouldn't trust them again for waxing. OP did say it was a salon, perhaps they could finagle a different free salon service for compensation.
Yes because an uncontrollable bodily function is a sign of incompetency.
If a surgeon sneezes and accidentally makes what would have been a near invisible incision, a life long and obvious scar, would you just say "oh, accidents happen?" probably not. You'd expect some form of compensation.
Dude it's a drop of wax
Still, losing an eyebrow is several weeks worth of damage. I know it's not comparable to surgery, but having 1 eyebrow is a problem.
I've been drawing in my eyebrows for 3 years due to over plucking. I feel you. It takes forever :(
Wow, I must be very lucky then with my eyebrows since the grow back again within a week.
Baby oil :)
I second this, the oil should remove the wax easily. I would not completely wax them and draw them on, it's a never ending cycle.
Yes!! Baby oil always helps me to get the stray wax off of my face!
They make wax remover.... all salons should have it by the station to remove excess and residue....not good of them if they didn't.
Go buy some store bought wax. It has oil based liquid that comes with it that helps get the wax off. Also I would recommend threading if you go to a salon so something like this doesn't happen again!
So what did you end up doing op?
. . . So do you have still have the eyebrow or not? I cannot rest until I get an answer!
Did you say bless you after she sneezed?
