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.

Baby Oil Or Eyelash Glue Remover. You can find it at any drug store or beauty supply shop. I'm surprised the waxing salon would not have these on hand.

There has to be some way to get it out...everything has a removal...

Oil or any oil based substance usually helps I work at a spa and it's generally what we use to remove wax that or wax remover

Might not be a good idea for the eye area.

I feel like this is fake, what kind of a salon wouldn't have a solvent for the wax they use?
