AIBU to cancel my eyebrow procedure after this comment?

When you cancelled the appt, did you tell her why?

I absolutely would not go to someone who tried to upsell me especially on aesthetics. I have had botox over the years and the people I've gone to have always been really really cautious and adamant about only giving a little even when I've said perhaps I want a second area they'd be no no no you don't need it. I went somewhere else once who had been recommended and she tried to upsell me filler on top of the botox.
I left without having what I've booked for and I said to her I don't appreciate unsolicited opinion on things I haven't asked about .She tried to backtrack but wasn't prepared to have the appointment. The thing that really annoyed me was the thought of her perhaps doing that too younger clients or those who are more insecure. I would also perhaps leave a comment on her social media pages shows one about trying to upsell you.

She’s potentially tattooing your face for presumably ££. She should be building trust, not knocking you down. Don’t go back. And I agree with a pp that doing face tattoos from her house is dodgy. Also I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with your normal lips; the pool noodle mouth fad will die soon.

Never ask a barber if you need a haircut - it’s just an upsell. The s-PMU who does my brows also does the lip tint (which I have as an aside, highly recommend).

YNBU. I walked out on a bikini wax once after a cellulite comment.

I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with your lips! I‘ve never looked at someone and thought their lips are too thin, it’s just the beauty industry trying to make money by making women insecure.
And in my opinion, plumped up lips, even when done subtly, always look slightly wrong. They make women look different but not actually better. Apologies to anyone on this thread who’s had theirs done, it’s just my opinion.

This reminds me of my first Botox appointment, I only wanted my elevens done but the doctor pointed out my “deep line” on my chin, it never really registered before but now I’m very conscious about it, also when I went to the hairdressers a while back and the trainee washing my hair commented about 3 times how thin my hair was 🙄 yeah like I’d never noticed until you pointed it out. We’ve all been there OP.

Could she mean doing the lip blush tint? The woman who does my micro blading also offers that so she may have meant permanent make up rather than filler?

Meh. She’s a beautician. She will have clocked your thin lips immediately and thought she could improve them. Maybe an unwarranted comment, but I don’t suppose she meant to offend you.

I think you need to rein yourself in.

Isn't that the problem with going to places like this though?

They want your money. It's their job to offer/, encourage you to get other stuff done.

It doesn't surprise me that she's saying things like that

This is like when the eyebrow threader asks if you want your moustache doing as well - it humbles you to hear it, but the answer should probably be yes. If you trust her with your brows, get the lips done at the same time and ask her for a discount.

YANBU, I wouldn’t go back personally either.

i was having my eyebrows threaded and when the lady finished she said ‘and the hairy lip?’ I was in shock at the rudeness. For the record my lip hair is almost non existent and blonde, not that it really matters

I think you're right to cancel.

I have a lady who does my botox and filler and another who does my brows, lashes and other permanent make up. What i really liked about each of them when I had my first consultation was how dedicated they were to listening to what I was hoping to achieve and then advising on the best options to get there and suit my face structure and colouring. One treatment I enquired about and was told I was not suitable for, which was reassuring as I reckon someone less scrupulous would have taken my money anyway.

I've never had a hard sell though sometimes they will chat about other treatments they've been doing that week and I'll think ooo i fancy finding out more about that! I've actually got lip blush done now (well I'm between the two appointments).

She was trying to tell you she also does lips and u fortunately touched a sore spot…
if you think her eyebrow work is good , I wouldn’t cancel because of this!
btw I did lip blush and am extremely happy with it. Did a slight over line in a very neutral, slightly pinker tone than my lips and they look so much better after and fullet

I think the working from home is a bigger red flag than the comment tbh!

Please, please, PLEASE do not get a face tattoo from someone who works from their house.

Please.

I have many tattoos and this is SUCH a red flag.

She does eyebrows and lips. I wonder if she's got any qualifications to administer injections at home? Do you need any or any kind of accreditation?

I wouldn't be offended by her mentioning it but I wouldn't get microbladed eyebrows anyway, especially not from someone who works from home. And definitely not injections. Unless they were a qualified cosmetic nurse or doctor.

But the eyebrows always look really weird and the colour fades making them look quite odd to me. So yeah, don't go!

So bloody nasty and ungenerous of spirit.

Well, works both ways (though I'd never say anything rude to someone in that way) Each to their own. I would never want a hairdresser or someone doing beauty stuff who looks like they're full of filler and have that pornified look.

I grew up in an era where people just made the best of what they had with makeup. Women looked different. We had thin lips, full lips, short hair, long hair, make up, no make up and looked real. That's beautiful to me. I'm sure your lips are perfect.

I wouldn't go back as she's broken trust with you making that comment. Nobody needs any of it doing. It's just a choice.

Was she asian? Ive only had those type of comments from Asians. I am one too. And I think its bloody rude

I’d be annoyed too, it’s not very professional and obviously upset you.

The nurse who does my Botox says she dislikes people asking her what they need doing. She doesn’t want to mention something they had never thought was an issue.

@Lisbon88
I wouldnt take it personally, I went for lip filler £180 ended up spending £3k over the course of 6 months, who knew there were so many bits of me that needed a "tweak" 😁
Get your brows done and if she mentions doing your lips just say "I'll think about it"
She's just upselling

She’s just trying to upsell and you already know you have thin lips so it shouldn’t really be a shock or knock your confidence.
