I took Friday to relax from the painting and housework I've been doing. I decided to get a pedicure and have my eyebrows waxed. It was about time. I had a dinner party to go to on Saturday and I didn't want any unibrow or unwanted hairs casting shadows over my face. I've been waxing for years, and I only trust this one place. I've never really had a problem, until now. Let's make one thing crystal clear to start: I don't have hairy eyelids. So why the lady had wax (did it drip down?) on my eyelid I'll never know. Anyway, she tore the strip off and with it came half the skin on my lid. I didn't realize it at first. I just thought it was a little more painful this time around. 3 hours later I was out with my mom. We saw a movie and went to dinner. I guess after truly seeing me in the light she asks, "What the hell happened to your eye?" It was swollen and bloody and (still) hurts to the touch.
It's scabbed over now, but I look like an abuse victim.
Definitely not worth the $10 this time, but my toes look great, so I'll go back. Just not to the crazy wax lady. Thank God it wasn't a bikini wax.

We're glad it wasn't the bikini wax either!
OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that sounds freakin painful!!
Ok, so are you going to go back and show her what she did to you?? I would be insanely mad!!
I am with Hippy on this one!!
Go back to the crazy wax bitch....show her what she did.
This just may be a case for Judge Judy!!!!:)
Are you sure Mr. Sass just didn't backhand you and you're trying to cover it up by blaming it on the waxer lady?
;o)
sometimes, like this time, it is good to be a guy.
Ow ow ow ow ow! I've only had my brows waxed twice - the first time was heavenly and I loved it. Second time - different place - almost the same thing happened to me. Maybe not quite as bad - but I remember the pain and haven't been back since. Try to keep it clean and don't pick at it. It might scar and that would be awful.
Um, just ouch. I knew there was a reason I've not done this much...
I`M WITH HIPPY ON THIS ONE I`D BE PISSED AND THEY WOULD BE CRYING OR BEGGING TO GIVE ME FREE SHIT 4 EVER AFTER THAT!
hey lady, no painting while pregnant!
That happened to me about a month ago. Thing is now, despite treating it with aloe and Neosporin daily, I have scars on both eyes. She pressed too hard and tore off skin with the wax. I too had been doing it for years and am now permanently scarred. So, please heed the dangers of wax. I will never have my eyebrows waxed again, despite the good experiences I had in the past.
something similar has happened to me at a salon and that's why I wax my own brows now. It's not as hard as it sounds. You just need to get the wax that you warm up in the microwave and that doesn't need the strips. You just peel off the wax.
