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, 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

Actually some women do wax off their entire eyebrow in order to draw it on themselves, it looks extremely fake but I guess they prefer it to having to tweeze their eyebrows. Its not that uncommon, so I could see why the korean lady would ask you that. Hey, at least now you know for next time ! ...

That really sucks. Last time I went to an asian run place it was staffed by Japanese and Chinese women. I can speak and comprehend some Japanese... the Japanese women just so happened to be out and when I tried asking questions I got Chinese answers because the new employee didn't know english... Though, in my experience, Asian's over here tend to understand us, or ask for us to repeat till they do, so it's best to say what you want rather than just nod.

okay this is a complete bs because 1st how the hell did you NOT understand "all of them off" you must be worst than that korean woman. 2nd you would've known by looking what she was doing to your eyebrows. you had time to clean that crap off right away. 3rd. you're a racist POS. stop making up stories. your story fails.
