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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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 wax my eyebrows. My entire eyebrow came off. FML
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
Today, I went with my sister to get our eyebrows waxed. I didn't think my eyebrows were that bad--and they weren't! When the guy waxed my eyebrows, he gestured my lips and said, "Moustache, too?" Mortified, I said, "No!" to which he replied, "Aw, someone no get kissy tonight." FML
Today, I had my eyebrows waxed for my senior pictures. After manhandling me, the cosmetologist managed to "accidentally" take my whole eyebrow off. It looks like I'll be remembered forevermore as the girl with one eyebrow. FML
Today, at the nail salon, a Korean woman was making fun of me. I kindly told her, in Korean, that I understood. She kindly told me, in English, that she didn't care. 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 the hair salon to get a fresh trim before receiving my master's diploma. The hairdresser managed to shave off half my 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

Always better to get confirmation when someone is doing something like this. Happened to me with a haircut one time, though it's my fault since I also simply nodded and said "whatever"

OP is a dumb ass.

It says she couldn't understand their accents...which means when the waxer asked if she wanted them all off she couldn't understand properly and just agreed.

However, she could make out "you want it all off?" which is a sufficient amount of understanding to warrant a "hell no."

That was kind of a stupid move, but at the same time, what kind of person working at a salon would wax someone's entire eyebrow off?

Why would you go to a salon where you wouldn't understand what was being said? And how can you not realise or, at the very least, feel the wax being smeared across your eybrows? You deserved that one.

Ah, Asian women run great salons. No joke. There's a place I used to go to for a haircut (and will still go out of my way to go to when I'm in the area) that's run entirely by, I believe, Vietnamese women. They do such an awesome job, even if I can't understand half the words they say. However, they can usually understand what YOU say. You should have just said exactly what you wanted. Never agree to terms you don't understand. Your fault.

I hope I meet you in real life, so I can ask you "Do you want me to take all your possessions?" only I'd say the second half real fast so you couldn't understand it. Then when you blindly accept my proposal, I get all your stuff.

To the #7 Comment, I know there are some Asian salons that do great jobs. Heck, I'm half-Korean and my step auntie runs one in the upper town of the city. All I'm saying is that this user is a real idiot for not double-checking what he/she agreed to.
