Eyebrows?

I take the lazy way out and shave mine. I was graced with my dad's bushy eyebrows, and plucking hurts too much and I can't find a good person to wax them, so I just get those little eyebrow razors from Wal-Mart and do 'em myself. I do have to do it about once a week, but it takes all of 30 seconds.

Yeah...that was me. I've never heard of an Aveda salon in this area, but I'll look around. Thanks!

Thanks...I just checked it out, and there are quite a few locations here! I'm excited

I think about 75% of all salons here in Charlotte are Aveda. Or at least the ones worth going to.

I couldn't agree more.

I was one of those girls too. I took a chance at Aveda and have never looked back. I even use Retinoid derivatives and glycolic a lot (meaning lots of fresh skin that doesn't need exfoliation). Usually, they won't let you wax if you use them the same day you wax. Even with Aveda, I have NEVER had a problem. With others, I lost chunks of skin off my lids- and I always went to a reputable salon.

I couldn't recommend Aveda more.

This sounds so incredibly painful. Seriously... ouch.

And to add more fun to it, it was 6 weeks before my wedding.

Neosporin pain became my best friend.

I was! But, it all worked out in the end. Skin grows back fairly quickly.

Good to know thanks.
