Today, I went to get my eyebrows waxed at a korean salon. I have never been there before and it's hard to understand their accents. The women asked me if I wanted "them all off". Not fully understanding what she said, I agreed. When she showed me the mirror, she had taken off my whole eyebrow. FML

Today, I went to have my eyebrows waxed for the first time. After signing in the receptionist looked at me and said "Lip wax?". I told her no, my eyebrows. She sat me down and the waxer walked up, took one look at me and said "Lip wax?" FML

Today, when getting my eyebrows waxed, the lady cursed "oh shit!" under her breath, right after waxing half of my brow off. FML

Today, as I was getting my nails done at a salon, the owner pulled my head back against the chair in front of all the customers and began to tweeze my eyebrows. When I exclaimed that I didn't pay for that service, she replied, "I don't care. This needs done." FML

Today, I went with my sister to get our eyebrows waxed. I didn't think my eyebrows were that bad--and they weren't! When the guy waxed my eyebrows, he gestured my lips and said, "Moustache, too?" Mortified, I said, "No!" to which he replied, "Aw, someone no get kissy tonight." FML

Today, I had my eyebrows waxed for my senior pictures. After manhandling me, the cosmetologist managed to "accidentally" take my whole eyebrow off. It looks like I'll be remembered forevermore as the girl with one eyebrow. FML

Today, at the nail salon, a Korean woman was making fun of me. I kindly told her, in Korean, that I understood. She kindly told me, in English, that she didn't care. FML

Today, I went to get a haircut. The hairdresser at the counter was kind of cute, so I had to say something non-standard. When she greeted me with her hello, I replied, "Guess what I need from you today?" She looked at me, considered, and replied, "An eyebrow wax?" FML

Today, I got my eyebrows waxed. The lady who waxed my eyebrows also decided to pop the big zit on my forehead. She charged me a dollar extra. FML

Maybe they didn't ACTUALLY think someone would take off the whole eyebrow, because I doubt an eyebrow waxer has ever had a customer agree to this until now. Maybe they thought she meant like ALL of the hairs that don't fall in line?? I don't know, but somehow it happened haha and really sucks.

I have an Asian run nail place that I go to for waxing, but they are sometimes hard to understand. Just be very nice...and ask them to repeat until you understand. Don't ever gamble again, honey. A good thing to say is "I just need them shaped but not thinned."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! how do you not understand when they say "All of them?" and i would not make my eyebrows with a sharpie. that would probably be a horrible idea.

#12 What the hell? Women get their eyebrows waxed off and then draw them on ALL THE TIME. That's hugely common. Although frightfully unattractive.

When she clearly said "all off", you didn't think she meant that she'd take it all off? Your fault.

why would anyone ask "all off" anyway? its not typical for people to get their eyebrows completely waxed
