To wax or pluck...
Paula asked me if I wanted to go with her to get our eyebrows waxed. Personally, I'm a plucker. Waxing (at least some of the jobs I've seen) look fake. They tend to square off parts that should be more natural and the eyebrows look like they came out of a Mr. Potato Head.
She's all for it and willing to spend ten bucks to have her hairs yanked from her eyelids. She claims that she is incapable of plucking - they turn out uneven, they hurt, they bleed. Having hot wax pasted close to my eyes and then having someone (that I paid) rip it, the hair, and the first layer of skin from my face sounds more unpleasant. I'm passing on the S&M torture and sticking with the good ole pluck.

I'm a devoted plucker!! My mom owns a salon and I've still never done the waxing. My eyebrows have to have daily attention...waxing wouldn't be enough.
I have done both. To me waxing is much faster. Plucking is too time consuming.
THANK YOU, GOD, FOR MAKING ME A MAN! Is that a politically correct statement?
I agree with Brent on this one. Thank God for being a man!
I'm so blonde this is not a problem for me, lol. I got my eyebrows waxed by an esthetician friend as a wedding present (20+ yrs ago) - and it was at LEAST a year before I had to use a pair of tweezers for anything other than splinters!
To this day, I only have to pull out a few hairs here and there around my eyes.
NOW - if I could only say the same about my CHIN!! GAWD - what IS IT about getting older that does this cruel thing to women???? Not that I could grow the neophyte type of scraggly stuff my 18 y/o son does, but DANGIT - I DO have to pluck stiff little brutes from my chin on a daily basis - that's just GROSS!! What did I do to deserve that, I ask you??? Isn't it enough that Eve gave Adam the apple and we therefore have to endure labor and childbirth?? I'd have a baby a year to avoid the dreaded (not to mention embarrassing) chin-hair situation!
