I use Just for Men beard dye on my eyebrows now- a tip I got from the S&B board on here in the lockdown. So quick and easy, I’m still on my first box two years later. I’ll never pay for them to be done in a salon again.
Yes for brows & lashes.... Just For Men Beard dye works brill and laaaaasts 4ever! Would love to know what is best used for doing my own nails tho.

Eyelash extensions.
So expensive, but made me feel fantastic!
I loved the way they looked.
I just couldn't justify the cost anymore, but oh I do miss them and would love to have them again, but I really dont want to get on that conveyor belt where I have to have infills every fortnight again.
I've tried using magnetic lashes, but I dont feel as confident in them, and the magnetic eyeliner is really difficult to remove, unless I'm doing it wrong. 😂😂😂

Well this thread is right up my street as I used to get my hair cut and blown by a famous hairdresser.
I used to go regularly every 8 weeks or when he was available and every time I always had to wait at least half a hour to a hour even though I had booked a appointment 2 months in advance .

I eventually saw sense when I arrived on time for my appointment and was told he was running 3 hours behind.😳

I then realised what a stupid fool I had been letting somebody think I am idiot and so pathetic and desperate that I would wait 3 hours for a hair cut which takes 20 minutes and then be charged a ridiculous amount of money.
And the bottom line is the hair cut and blow dry wasn’t even that great and you even had to pay for a coffee.

I was such a idiot.
