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, 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

It's not that hard to beleive... Have you never seen people with the fake-ass drawn in eyebrows? Unfortionatly it's not that uncommon, and the op said she didn't fully understand what the lady said, although she really should have asked until she understood o.o

theres no way this happened. if they run a salon im sure they know that most people dont want all of their eyebrows waxed off. i doubt they would immediately come to that conclusion.

How else do you interpret "All of them off"? Your fault for not stopping them & telling them what you wanted, or hell... asking to repeat it at least. ._.

Respectfully, you're an idiot.

that's why you never go in to something like waxing without knowing exactly what you want and TELLING them. i learned that when they made my eyebrows pencil thin after i said i just wanted them 'cleaned up'. on that note, i agree with #39.

In Asia, that's what a lot of girls do, they draw on their eyebrows with pencil instead. You really should've been more clear.

Hey! I'm freakin Asian, and I don't take my whole eyebrow off?! Stereotype?! I hate that. But anywho...Your fault. I don't see how you cannot know what she said, yet tell us what she had "actually said." But okay. Bad lying on your part.

#2! You took the words out of my mouth! #42, I imagine she figured out what she said when she looked in the mirror and saw her eyebrow missing! Sometimes I don't hear people very well, but then can tell a story about it based on the results.. It's not hard to figure out..
