Threading lady getting a bit personal

It's my birthday on Sunday, and was out with my five month old baby today and decided to get my eyebrows threaded as I do not get time to do that sort of thing anymore. She did a great job of my eyebrows then said so do you want me to do your upper lip?! WTF, i thought, I haven't got a tache. DH agrees and also GBF (Gay Best Friend) - AIBU to want to complain to this threading lady???

I love threading on the brows. Am fair haired/skinned and I reckon threading gives a more true shape to the eyebrows than waxing. Also if you're like me you get lots of tiny fair hairs that you can't see but yet make your eye make up look a bit crap. Threading gets all those little buggers.
Don't have much other facial hair bar one fine big sneaky witchy one that grows just beneath my chin/jawline so it's always the length of a baby's arm each time I find it. Hmm

Absolutely everyone has hair on their upper lip. And seriously any husband and any friend will always go 'no, OF COURSE you don't' - especially if you are sounding annoyed / worried / upset when you ask. But you almost certainly do have some hair there. Maybe not v noticeable, maybe fair, but it's there. Which is totally ok. She's just offering a service which you are free to decline. Which is also totally ok. Since you're there tending to your brows stands to reason from her perspective you might be interested in tending to other areas.
