To shave my toddlers unibrow...?

I feel truly awful asking and I hate that it's even in my mind but the truth it he has one. DS 2.5, has a unibrow. It's not massive and bushy but you can see it.
Someone once made a comment about it when he was 8 months and I have irrationally hated that person since. However it did make me realise that it is noticeable.

So my question is, would you do anything about it? And if so, when?
Surely if I start now and it is just part of his routine then it won't raise any questions, but if I wait until kids start to make fun of him, then he asks, will that impact his self confidence more?

I wish it wasn't an issue and I know it's not a big deal in some ways, but also kids are mean and we've got to live in the real world.

Has anyone else had this experience?

My son had long curly hair, I didn’t have it cut because I didn’t like the look of it (I loved it) I had it cut because it got so tangled so easily and he hated it plus he sweats profusely whilst running around, plucking the eyebrows of a toddler too young to be bullied or know he is being bullied isn’t the same as a haircut, at this stage is purely about you not seeing him as perfect and that is so sad.

Absolutely not. Unless he literally has a hair growth problem (rather than cosmetic) in which case you go see a doctor.
