Professionally speaking: Is it better to get your eyebrows waxed or with a razor if you want a nice arch?

Question

i have been getting my eyebrows waxed and maybe after about two weeks they look like crap and it looks like i have no shape at all..is it better to get them groomed with a razor? (like at a barbershop)

Answer 1

No - waxing is better. Since your brows grow back quickly, you should maintain the shape by tweezing stray hairs in between visits.

If you shave your brows, you will have constant stubble.

Answer 2

Pluck. I think waxing is kind of a waste of money, if you can just pluck and it not cost anything. But maybe I'm just frugal. And I cannot imagine anyone taking a razor to their eyebrows. The thought makes me shudder.

Answer 3

Waxing really is the way too go. They hair stays gone much longer and it is easier to acheive the desired shape. If your Cosmetologist isn't giving you the arch you want, try someone or somewhere else.

Answer 4

No way! If u would prefer to see them gradually disappear - rather than get thicker - keep waxing. Once they are waxed, any stray hairs can just be tweezed. This should be all you need to do to maintain them in between waxes.

Answer 5

Waxing and Threading methods are used for shaping eyebrows.

Answer 6

Yeah, no shaving...wax and then pluck in between waxing to maintain shape! You'll be gorgeous!

Answer 7

I think that you should keep on using wax, but if you dont like it you should get it professionally done, it will last longer, and will look good.

Answer 8

get them waxed every 2 weeks!!!

Answer 9

I plucked them with a tweezer myself as and when I like!
