Today, I went to a salon to have my eyebrows waxed. During the application the woman sneezed. The wax is not water based, so no matter what they tried, it would not come out of my eyebrows. I now have to decide whether leave the noticeable brown wax in my eyebrows or wax them all off and draw them in. FML

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.

Oh no! This is exactly why I do threading instead of waxing! There's no way to do a major whoops like this. :(

Seriously try baby oil, I once got my eye brows waxed and the idiot put the used paper with wax on the table instead of the garbage. The knot it created in my hair was the stuff of legends. Baby oil, and patience did the trick.

Oil gets off wax. I always use baby oil if I get eyebrow wax in the wrong spot. It takes a while, but it does work!

I over plucked my eyebrows for years (my anxious bad habit like biting nails). The would grow back so fast and even after doing it for 6 years they still grow back fast. I never really got the hang of the drawing them on thing so I know why you'd be reluctant but if it's only for a few weeks it'll be okay.

Mineral oil helps remove wax from hair.

A years supply of free waxing from that salon or a frivolous law suit just to annoy them

Yikes. This type of thing, among other reasons, is why I refuse to let anyone else do my eyebrows. I'll stick to my bathroom mirror and tweezers, thank you. (Note: I'm not bashing on people who do get their eyebrows waxed, just not personally worth it to me.)
