Never had my eyebrows shaped before but my mum says I should for the wedding. She gets hers done and cant believe I dont bother. To be honest I've never seen the point. But booked to do my hair trial and asked for eyebrow shaping at same time, told H2B and he said he didnt want me to have it done, he loves me just as I am and doesnt see why they need doing. So a bit stuck now, part of me wants to have it done just to see what it looks like but I dont want to do something H2B doesnt want me to do. He wants me to look like ME! Tried pulling a few individual eyebrow hairs out and OMG it HURTS! So that may put me off anyway! What is everyone else doing? Going for the shaped look or staying au naturel?

Im definately having mine done. I had mine done all the time years ago but got bored of going back to the shop all the time so learnt to pluck them myself but i dont want to be plucking them whilst on honeymoon so am definately having them waxed.

I understand your dilemma, at the end of the day its up to you. What ever you want xx

I do mine myself. I've been a couple of times over the years to get them done by a beautician, but I always wonder why as they never look any different to when I do them.

Maybe leave them as they are for the big day, and then go afterwards to get them done so you can see what they look like? Then your curiosity is satidfied, and you still look like you for the day ... although I agree that he probably wouldn't notice if you went and had them done.

I'v had mind waxed befor. Not had it done for a long time though, I just pluck, but I will be getting them done before the wedding and also will be having them tinted too.
I would say if you never really have plucked befor, do go get them shaped properly. Will be a lot less painfull for you.

i used to have mine waxed every 2 weeks and now get them threaded. get so annoyed when i cant get to the shop. threading is meant to be better for eyebrows and is cheaper and the result is much better. i havnt had mine done in a while so plucked them today.

i keep thinking about leaving them so they get thicker but manage about a month at most and h2b moans they look awful and need doing! lol!!

i would leave them now as you are so close to the wedding and maybe getting them done after the wedding!

you dont want to feel not you on your wedding day xx

this is what it says about eyebrows for brides off my make up artists website



Give some thought to your eyebrows. Properly groomed and shaped eyebrows will frame your face and are an essential step to any eye makeup application. Don’t wait until the wedding day to reshape them.

I'm getting mine threaded beforehand. Probably quite a while before the big day as then I'll at least I'll have a guideline to work to to pluck them! I've never had anything done to them so wouldn't have a clue where to start, tbh!

think they do look better a little groomed,maybe just av any stray hairs waxed to give a nice groomed arch.im currently trying to thicken mine up for the wedding and its killing me not being able to wax them,think it really does make a difference,x

I've never done anything with my eyebrows and never wanted to. I can't see the point as I prefer to look natural.

I shape my own with tweezers, nothing drastic just enough to keep them tidy. I think they shape and frame my face better when they're neatened up.

It does hurt to pluck your brows at first as waxing your legs but it does get easier the more often you do it

mym72 my natural eyebrows are a little too manly looking to suit my face LOL which is why i shape them by plucking, otherwise i wouldnt bother

Mine have grown out since my accident and they look awful. I have always done my own but now I can't hold my arm above my head. I had them plucked at college and after looking in the mirror for the third time had to reluctantly say Thats fine thanks. Wont have them waxed as when I was a teenager the worst hairdresser in the world took all my black eyebrow hair off and had to tint my baby hairs to give me some seeable brows. I am interested in trying threading but don't know where to go!

Oooh our boots store is a flagship store so will try there!

just a lil tip as a beauty therapist myself... for your first eyebrow waxing or treading take a paracetamol half an hour before you get it done takes the edge off ;)

I had threading done once, and although my eyebrows are very fine it did give me a more defined shape, but for me, it bloody hurt! It isn't meant to I don't think but the girl said I must have very sensitive skin, lol. But as for you getting anything done, if you can't see why you need it done and your h2b wants you to leave them alone then leave them, you don't want to arrive looking completely altered, he is marrying you for what you look like now, not what you would look like after a team of women have been plucking and preening you! And after all it is only him you want to impress on the day, not your mum, lol. x

hahaha I bet you are glad you had it done now. The more you have it done the easier it gets as they don't root so deep and the hairs are finer. I bet the h2b wouldn't have even noticed if you hadn't told him.

i am having my eyebrows waxed tomorrow ready for hen night and then i will be having them done again about 1 week before the wedding, it doesnt hurt as much as plucking and its over a lot quicker xxx

mrsd2b-my friend is a journalist and she had the HD eyebrows free for her to do an article on them. be careful when she had hers done they looked awful so thin you could hardly see them. took her ages to grow them back but luckily she had a fringe so she could hide them! xx

Thanks for the heads up mrsb. xx

I had mine threaded on Saturday - totally unexpected, but glad I did. It was fine - far less painful than I was expecting (less pain than a bikini wax and by far less painful than plucking my own eyebrows)! Looks really nice and wasn't too red afterwards. I've just started to develop the little telltale signs of sensitive skin though - little irritation spots where the hairs have come out. I'm sure it will calm down in a couple of days though. Still happy with the result though :)

*eyebrows rather!!*

I get mine shaped every now and again - basically when a simple pluck will no longer do and I've made them a bit wonky in the meantime!! Waxing isn't too painful, but threading is meant to be amazing! Going to try that out next time I get them done :-)

Do you have photoshop at home? Just thinking you could take a pic of yourself and then erase some of your eyebrows so you can see what you look like!!

mine are already shapped, but I do my own after i had them first shapped. But I will be getting mine done properly for the wedding. I don't mind plucking, but I've heard threading isn't painful. I think it should be up to you hun. maybe try a subtle shapping first and then see how you feel
