to think eyebrows don’t NEED to be done

I can’t stand this OP. I do get my eyebrows done and the lady always asks ‘lip too?’
I am the blondest human ever and to see any hair on my face you would need a microscope.

You haven't seen mine!

People can do what they want with their eyebrows of course. Personally I think we’ll look back on this era and think we over did our eyebrows. It should compliment your face not be the eye grabbing feature, but just my opinion.

There is a difference between need and want. No one needs it, many want it,

You still don't need to do anything to them though.

She’s trying to sell her services, of course she will try and persuade you to have them done. That doesn’t make it some sort of societal expectation. If you don’t say no. it’s easy and as simple as that’.

But nails don't NEED to be done either so what on earth are you getting at?

Some subtle tinting and shaping can be an improvement but the thick dark look is comical, in my opinion. And I know that's my opinion, but people sometimes have no self-awareness of how insane they sometimes make themselves look. I rely on my friends/family to tell me when I've got it wrong, which I think is as it should be.

This is what’s confusing me too.

The woman didn’t tell the OP she needed them done.

She just asked if she wanted to use the service.

End the thread with these wise words! Nothing more to say ❤️

I think I'd be a bit offended if someone doing my nails asked my if I wanted to 'sort out' my eyebrows.

I dunno, I think the way OP has worded it, it sounds a bit like the technician looked at her face and implied they looked a bit of a mess and needed doing.

The phrase "sort out your eyebrows" seems to say there's something wrong with them that needs fixing...

I am old, out of touch and probably will be the most hated poster on this thread but it seems pretty clear that as nearly all people have eyebrows no intervention is needed. Also all microblading and filling in of them just makes them look false and odd.
I just leave my eyebrows alone, they are dark and wholly unremarkable.
It seems so sad that women are born with both eye lashes and eye brows that are perfectly lovely and that from somewhere there is a message that these too need to be augmented / changed in some way. Like our breasts, hair, weight and on and on.
Quite frankly f* that.

I guess that people who are in the beauty business have a more critical eye than the average person. If you spend all day making people's faces perfect then you're more likely to notice things like that.
Similar to how personal trainers might notice how toned someone is because it is their business to make people toned.
It doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong with your eyebrows just not beauty technician perfect

Mine were seriously over waxed in the 90/00's, so I had them microbladed a few years ago (specialised pigment, so no red/grey/blue fade!).
I think brows can make a difference. Too thin can be ageing, so i'd essentially agree that a tidy is all thats required.
I really don't like the exaggerated square/dark look, or fluffy brows. To each their own though!

Well the thing is, it doesn't really matter what your eyebrows (or any other part of you) look like. The important thing is that whatever they do look like, you must be striving to make them look different. This is the entire purpose of the fashion and beauty industry, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that a sufficient number of women are at all times preoccupied with concerns about whether they have the right eyebrow shape, boob size, or type of footwear to notice that we are still earning less, and doing more housework than men. Who, needless to say, mostly don't worry about moisturising their armpits because they are busy running the world and hoarding the wealth.

This is why we just can't get organised to overthrow the patriarchy 😆

Mine look ok without any plucking or tinting but I think it improves the look of them if they’re straggly or the colour doesn’t suit your skin tone.

Depends on how yours are to begin with. I never bothered with eyebrows until my 30s and then once I tried a bit of plucking - just minimal, no shaping. It transformed my face! And then I tried a bit of eyebrow pencil - omg I was stunned. I only need to do my eyebrows to look alive. Everything else is already fine.

…looking back at my 20s with sorrow now

Nobody "needs" to have their nails done either.

Oh I definitely need it or I’d look like Noel Gallagher

Maybe they dont NEED to be done but I love having mine done.

If i didnt I'd have two extemly long wire hairs on my right brow sticking out and a wiry grey hair in the middle of my left.

I dont need to have my lashes tinted, a pedicure with polish, leg and underarm waxing, upper lip threading, my hair highlighted either but I like having them done and how I look.

None of it needs to be done, really. As long as you and your clothes are clean,you're good to go.

Nails don't need to be done either but personally I like have nicely shaped tidy eyebrows. No beauty treatment needs to be done beyond basic hygiene but everyone has their own preferences

Oh I disagree. I am currently very late for my brow appointment and am channeling Bernard Manning! I look and feel so much better when they are done.

I went for a brain MRI recently and one of the questions on the form along with, "Do you have a pacemaker, steel bolts through your spine etc" was do you have microbladed/tattoo'd eyebrows?

Apparently the pigment can either heat up or create artifacts that distort the image. I don't think your eyebrows fry and your face falls off or anything drastic but now you know.
