I too feel your pain–I assumed my stylist knew WTH SHE WAS DOING
but, NO! I had a very tender lid where she spilled some extra wax. She immediately started making excuses. That did it for me–I fired her! Her lie and cover-up lost her my business–she had cut my hair for 6 mo. before that painful lesson. Poor Gidge–I am wincing at the idea of having to go to a new job looking less than your best…

I once had over half an eyebrow removed at a REALLY expensive spa……the SECOND he ripped off the cloth he said “uh-oh” and then”oh dear”.

And with that look, I started my new job.

I wish I could have attended Blogher, maybe next year.
Ouch. I wouldn’t have been able to handle that. No plucking for me.

That woman deserves to have one of her eyebrows ripped off, too. And tell them that you’re a famous blogger and if you don’t get AT LEAST a refund, you will share the name of the salon and the esthetician with your readers. . . and we’ll share it on our blogs, and so on.

I once went to for a bikini wax and was fantastically shocked when she proceeded to contort me in ways I’ve only seen in porn movies and give me a “Brazilian.” Of course I didn’t have to walk around with no pants on so…you win.

Hopefully you get a full refund without having to jump through too many hoops.

You could try to have some fun with it by acting nutty in public or make sure you look at people at an angle with squinty eyes. It keeps things fun by acting quirky in public for no real reason.

Hope it grows back soon though.

I think the gods of good grooming are ignoring everyone who didn’t attend BlogHer. I was at BlogHere instead and my eyebrows were a mess. Also, my hair looked like ass because it was 102 degrees.

OUCH Did you kick her? Please tell me you kicked her.

Oh, WTF? There is NO excuse for not giving you your money back when someone rapes your face like that. You shouldn’t have to do any work to get it back! I think I may have just walked out on them. Hah.

Here’s hoping your brow hair grows back soon.

Still. I’d burn down the building.

oh dear.
I am sorry but you are officially kicked out of the Gap mom group now.
I hope you shaved hers off.

Ouch! I hope you get a refund and a big, fat certificate for some free hair care.

I like Mrs. Schmitty’s idea.

Looks like maybe you’ll be drawing it in for awhile? Seems like if the salon sells make up (many do) they could comp you some brow corrector. Idiots.

I wish I could think of something witty, but I can’t stop staring at what the wax-happy woman did to your eye brow. They BETTER give you a refund.

OMG! Never mind a refund, you should have been able to reciprocate!

OH, honey, we have all been there. I had some crazy bitch of a wax lady take way too much off in the center so that, for several weeks, I had kind of a snake-y look, my eyebrows were so far apart. Thank heavens it mostly grew back.

Maybe you will start a new fashion trend. You can call it “Nude Brow” to make it sound sexier.
