advice?

I've never heard of laser on eyebrows... :icon_blink:  The spa where I get my laser/electrolysis done won't do it.

Personally, I tweeze.  It takes about a minute at most per day and they always look great!

   I have to agree, i've never heard of laser so close to the eye area before. I think your best option is to go to a salon and have them wax/shape your brows so you get a good idea of your shape.  :P

The only thing I've heard of about laser for eyebrows is if you have a uni-brow.

But at my mom's job they have an aesthetic center that does laser and she told me that they wouldn't ever go around the eye area like that.

local lazar clinic said we do eye brows lol :)

I would be scared to have laser that close to the eyes...

Absolutely concur about an occasional wax and then tweeze in between as necessary.  I don't know that I spend more than a few minutes per week on them.  And it has been a few years since I even had them waxed...

just because they do it does not make it a wise choice...just sayin' is all.

do they eventually grow in your new shape?

there is the occasional stray but I don't have to put in the time shaping them like I did 25-30 years ago (yeah I did some light shaping even in high school).

You have to get your eyebrows to THE perfect shape you want if you want you get them lasered then. Meaning go get them waxed, because it's going to be difficult trying to change the shape later since the hair will grow very slowly.

It's kinda like with getting them tatted on(which i'm considering  :laugh: i think they're cool)

haha so its possible to do subtle shape changes ?

Laser on your eyebrows would be a horrifyingly bad idea. The danger to your eyes, plus the danger that you'll zap hair you want to keep, yikes! If you really desperately want a permanent solution, you can do electro there (I expect it hurts like hell though).

The overwhelming majority of girls just pluck. It isn't really that much of a pain. I spend maybe 10 mins a week on it.

Tattooed eyebrows do look tattooed. But if you like the look, go for it. Despite generally liking tattoos, I think they look rather odd, personally.

I prefer going to an esthetician and having them tweeze my brows, you could also try electrolysis on your brows for a more permanent solution.

I just pull out my tweezer every couple months like most girls.

PLUCK! You're getting afead of yourself Lit'l Kitty....

I've never tried threading or had it done, but I've seen that's something people do these days.  I think they usually have it done at a salon or whatever.  There's a place in the mall that has gigantic posters advertising it as a service.

Personally I use Sally's wax strips on mine.  About once a week.

PLUCK! Waxing is not really worth the RRR in my experience.
Yeah, you are getting ahead of yourself here.

I go to a salon and get them shaped. It takes a few minutes and costs very little and I get them tinted as well. I would not let a laser anywhere near my eyes. Oops your blind is not something you want to hear. :laugh:

It seems like laser on the brows would be dangerous; get the beam at one slightly wrong angle and your sight could be impaired or destroyed.  Like some others here, I use the wax strips (they really work well) and tweezers. Electrolysis or threading are the only other reasonably safe alternatives I can think of.

gosh i ain't sheeesh anyways got enough information thanks
