Do you pluck your own eyebrows and maintain your own fanjo?

I do, always have, but sick of looking for stray hairs every day.

Is it worth having them done professionally?

Ditto with fanjo, never had a wax. Should I?

I was thinking the same about my eyebrows this morning. Can't afford to get them waxed all the time though. And they need to grow quite a bit to be long enough to be waxed. Yuk in-between re groth.

Its so boring doing them every day. And yesterday I was trying and trying to get one pesky hair. It was annoying!!

i have had my eyebrows waxed and it was fine apart from when they did the space between my eyebrow and hairline on my temple - that hurt. however i find it easier to do it at home and not have to make a time slot to have it done.

i like a bald fanjo - somehow and for no reason that has any erm reasoning i think its cleaner! also done at home

eyebrows waxed monthly and I deal with upkeep with my trusty tweezermans.

Deal with fanjo myself

eyebrows - me (when bothered)
fanjop - too wimpish for wax - used to but can't bear the pain when preggers. Can anyone recommend an electric razor for that area - can't use creams cos too sensitive skin and normal razor lethal!

MamaG, well, if you go to your mum's wedding with your never-plucked Dennis Healy eyebrows, I'd say it doesn't matter what dress you wear!

I do my eyebrows myself, If you do them every couple of days (or whenever you see a stray hair) it only takes a couple of seconds and never needs the major job.

DH currently trims round my Fanjo, but I'm trying to get up the courage to have a major waxing done, and no-way could I do that myself.

fanjo - get done professionally, I can't believe how many of you do it yourself? I have sensitive skin so can't use creams or a razor.
