> [@EJsGirl](#): > > But my worst moment? Someone was waxing my eyebrows and asked if I wanted her to take care of the moustache. :eek: I do now, bitch! 😃 Fucking hilarious. That’s actually how I found my current eyebrow waxer. I was getting my nails done and she said to me, “Do you want me to wax your eyebrows?” What are you supposed to say to that? “No, I’d like to keep cultivating this particular look.” To be fair, I had long gotten my brows waxed, but was between salons, I guess. Turns out, the nail girl does a great job, and I usually just get the brows done and skip the manicure. My husband may or may not notice when my brows are particularly good or bad—he’s smart enough not to comment—but _I_ notice and that’s why I do them. ---

A long time friend of mine works at a local rather upscale salon. Since she’s been cutting my hair ofr years, I still go to her, even tho it costs a little more now. She does give me one hell of a discount. Anyways, I show up a little early for a haircut one day so I have to wait a bit. I saunter on back to her booth and say hey to Diana (that’s her name, Diana. Do keep up.) Seems Diana is working on my friend Amy, I half notice. Amy had said she had an appointment near mine that day, so I wasn’t surprised to see her. Besides, Diana still does all of her friends and previous clients from the other, less upscale place. Like I said, I was half paying attention because I saw as I got back there that another friend of mine was in the other waiting/lounge area. One of those types of friends whose panties I want on the floor of my abode, if you catch my drift. Anyways, Amy is sitting there in Diana’s booth, getting her brows, upper lip, and between the brows waxed. As I walk past the booth, I nod at Diana and say, “Hey, little girl. You’d better get that lip waxed. Ain’t gonna get no boyfriend if you got a 'stache!” And I go and chat in the lounge with my friend. Well, I finally get to sit in Diana’s chair to get my hair cut and she tells me that’s she’s mad at me for being so rude. I half heartedly agree and say something like “Well, what’s done is done. I’ll apologise to her later.” Diana seemed somewhat confused by my response, which confused me, too. Oh well. In a few minutes, my hair is done and I’m chatting with Diana as she cleans up and I write her a check. Just then Amy comes back to the booth to say hi. I say, “Hey. You’re back? Sorry about being so rude earlier.” Amy says, “What are you blathering about? I just got here.” My jaw drops, my eyes open wide, and all the blood leaves my face. Diana notices and asks, “You thought my wax job was Amy? I mean sure, she did look like her a little…” And then she realised that I only saw her with all the stuff on her face, while her eyes were closed and her head wrapped in a towell. She burst out laughing. “You trashed a total stranger!” she tells me through her giggles. “That was a walk in. Just moved into the area. You idiot!” That poor, poor woman. She never came back. I hope she found a good salon where she doesn’t get insulted by total strangers… :smack: ---

> [@EJsGirl](#): > > But my worst moment? Someone was waxing my eyebrows and asked if I wanted her to take care of the moustache. :eek: I do now, bitch! 😃 Heh, the lady that did my brows tried that on me. This time I was firm about saying no. The hair on my upper lip is very fine and blond and, dang it, nearly invisible and besides how would it look if my upper lip was the ony place that didnt’ have _any_ hair? I’m not about to start waxing my entire face… [quot=asmodius]A lady I work with has a friend who specializes in makeup tatooing. They throw tatoo parties every so often. Am I the only one who finds permanent makeup to be a little odd? [/quote] My grandma got this done because she had no eyebrows (she went throught the overplucking fad of the forties and they never grew back) but she went to a reputable person and they look really good. The tattooist drew on light feathery brows so they almost look real. Nost of the tattoed make-up looks so horrible and [dated](http://www.cosmesurge.com/english/images/permanent_after_3.jpg). The worst I read about was a woman who reacted to the pigments they used to apply permanent lipstick. The laser to remove the pigment turned her lips black and the reaction was so painful, she finally wound up having her lips _cut off_ and reconstructed. :eek: ---

> [@Mirror Image egamI rorriM](#): > > Man, what about those girls who do the dark lipliner with pale lipstick? Ugh. > > (I just got a big makeup set for Christmas that I have no idea how to use, but at least I know not to do that.) I’ve seen this too, and it’s just strange looking. I think it’s ok for a person’s looks to be distracting, but only in a -good- way. It just looks very un-natural. Regarding the eyebrow thing- there’s a very nice young lady I know at church. She’s got a killer figure, gorgeous skin, etc., but her eybrows are too far apart due to plucking, or something. It’s distractingly odd. ---

IMHO - the overworking of eyebrows in women is an unfortunate trend. I certainly accept that some women suffer from extra thick brow or mono-brows and benefit from shaping. What is most unfortunate is that many I have observed don’t have a clue about proper shaping. There are farily well understood geometric standards for optimum female facial beauty. One rather obtuse attempt to describe them [here](http://www.idsia.ch/~juergen/locoface/newlocoface.html). My artist training has taught me for a face looking directly at me, the pupils of the eyes are exactly the same distance apart as the corners of the mouth. The width of the nose is exactly the same as the width of an eye. And a natural eyebrow ends at a point that a straight line can be drawn from the eyebrow, the outer edge of the eye, to the edge of the nostril. When I see an eyebrow that does not extend to this natural terminus, I privately shake my head and think, “Once again the attempt at beauty achieves the opposite”. Don’t get me started on lip injections… ---

::Quietly backs away in shame:: 😉 😃 (for the record, I despise that look as well. Simply hideous.) ---

The whole dark-lipliner-with-pale-lipstick thing seems to be the exclusive domain of Latinas and punks around here. It goes really well with hot pants and above-the-knee black leather boots! 😉 ---

I only pluck the stray hairs. I’m afraid that I’ll manage to do something awful if I try to actually shape them. ---
