to think eyebrows don’t NEED to be done

[aliceyyyy2654]

AIBU to think eyebrows don’t need to be ‘done’ beyond some plucking of the monobrow area or some general tidying if you have a lot of hairs?
I recently went to get my nails done for an event and the lady asked if I wanted to sort my eyebrows out too??

surely this is a recent phenomenon of perfect dark eyebrows forced upon women?

No they don’t ‘need’ to be done but equally neither do nails. It was rude of her to point them out to you though,

She’s just trying to upsell. It’s not that deep.

What a silly thread, of course no one needs anything done. You didn't need to get your nails done. Do you believe that you are the victim of some movement forcing women to get their nails done? Or maybe you just felt like having your nails done.

No they don’t need to be. She was just asking though, not saying it was a necessity.
I fill mine in with a pencil because they’re sparse.

You don’t need to get your nails done either. I’ve never had mine done!

The girl was suggesting there was something wrong with my eyebrows. That is the problem.
I agree with others, she was just up selling.
There's only one of two answers you could have given. One could be 'go on then' and the other is ' no thanks, I'll leave it'. And then get on with your day.

As pp have said, nothing 'needs' to be done.

Although I'd argue that nose hair 'needs' to be plucked in both men and women - but even then, it's not really a need, just a strong aesthetic preference.

I had my nails done for the first time ever the other day for a party. They look lovely but it was surprisingly expensive.

I’m very low maintenance.
Hair cut with colour every 8 weeks and brows tidied a little because they look unruly and would join in the middle.
Nothing else

Asking someone if they want to sort their eyebrows out too is implying they look like they have catapillars crawling across their face.

So it may be upsetting but it is also really rude!

The OP could have ended up with McDonalds golden arches eyebrows!!

Have YOU read the thread?

People have explained she was simply upselling. Probably told to do it. It may be that they've noticed a trend whereby ppl who come in for their nails often decide to get their eyebrows 'sorted' whilst there or if it's offered to them.

It doesn't mean she's been captured by the patriarchy.

Surely that would be brutally painful?

You'll never take my nostril hair alive.

Never done a thing to my eyebrows. Never plucked once. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m 45 years old and I think this is why they look fine. Because I didn’t start messing with them at 15.

Mine do look neater with some maintenance. Probably didn't bother before my mid-30s or later. I blame genetics for their tendency to be bushy more than any previous treatment (as there was none.)

Yours might not need to be done.

Mine do.

I’m trim and pluck mine as they are quite bushy 😂they are naturally dark and thick and I’ve enjoyed the last 10 years of thicker eye brows after spending hrs plucking them in my youth. They naturally have a nice shape too.

This. She makes a living from selling these services so she offers them.

You don’t need to get your nails done anymore than brows. All personal preference - I opt for neither.

That’s a really rude way to describe a human, She’s not “just” anything.

Shame on you.

Don’t if you don’t want to. Easy.

Never done my eyebrows but also never done my nails- what makes you think nails NEEDS to be done?

Oooh, yes, I should've said 'groomed' not plucked, as using a nose trimmer works 😅 And only when it sticks out in bushy tufts 🤢 I have an older family member where it's literally almost brushing his upper lip, and I don't know why he doesn't trim it.

Massive overreaction

READ THE THREAD

Are you upset because you feel that identical brows are being foisted on womankind?

Or because she thought yours were in a bit of a state and it hurt your feelings because you felt they looked ok, and didn’t like that she criticised them?
