Have you ever done either yourself?
Or have you had it done?

I bought a kit for my eyebrows and did my upper brows. But not sure how people manage to do the under brow safely. I tired to close my eye so  I wouldn't get my lashes And it didn't go so well.. I was also afraid the left and right wouldn't match LOL.

Also, have you ever done your upper lip?  I would like to but affaid it would grow back thicker. It's not bad just a little shadow. No one has ever said anything just something I notice.

Any tips would be great. Or share you experience

I get my eye brows waxed once a month, I do not think I could do it myself, to much of a wimp. LOL

Where do you go? How much is it and how much do you tip? If you don't mind me asking?

I always wax my eyebrows myself. I had them done a couple of times.  The first time they didn't do what I wanted them to and it cost me $20 the second time only cost me $10 and it was good.  But I pay $12 for a container of wax for a whole year and I get what I want.  I shave my upper lip cause I only have fuzz and the wax doesn't get it.

I get them both done. I love the pain of it. I tried to wax my own brows once...it was a disaster..

I didn't leave it on long enough or something, and ended up with stray wax left behind...ick

it wasn't noticeable, but I couldn't leave my eyebrows alone, I kept messing with the wax.

I get mine threaded, they do the whole face too.  I am in between right now, I am trying to "grow" them out to get a better shape.  I plucked and waxed way too much and would like  a fuller brow.  It is $10 for the brows.  I have heard upwards of 20-30 though.  Oh, super quick too.

I go to a local nail salon that I have gone to since I was 16. It is $8 plus tip.

Any oil will remove left over wax.  I once dripped some on my lashes and they stuck together for hrs, it was my sons bday party and I was rushing,  I couldn't figure out how to get it off and the after everyone left I realized, duh...... olive oil!

ive had the sally hansen kit for at home.. works pretty good.. ive gotten them waxed at a salon and its five for eyebrows and five for lip.. but now mostly i just stick with nair and tweezers..i also bought smooth away... works great on your face.. ive never tried eyebrows tho.. i dnt think itd work there.. and doesnt work on your legs too great,.. but i think its best for upper lip
