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.

the average Joe, may not know this. however, anyone doing this for a living, should!

hot compresses and one of those flea combs the times are so close together they'll probably squish it out

Off to Freddie's to get a new pack of crayola crayons I assume

Alcohol wipes don't always work. Moisturizer or oil usually does the trick- or a hot cloth... if the operator didn't know how to deal with that, I wouldn't go back there

That sucks. :-( I went to beauty school and a girl was waxing when she wasn't allowed to and used foil on the poor girls legs. So at least you didn't get hurt.

you can always use baby oil to remove wax

Or you could not be ******* dumb and wax your eyebrows. I don't understand why people think they need to change their appearance to appeal to people. Most guys don't go for the girls with all of the makeup and such. It makes you look fake. A guy doesn't want a fake girl.

Maybe, just maaaaaaybe, she wanted to wax her brows because SHE likes them that way?
