If you were a tad ungroomed, what would you do first?

Long hair that hasn't seen a hairdresser for around a year.

Eyebrows that haven't been plucked for months, so need a proper shaping.

Would you get your eyebrows done, so that the hairdresser doesn't assume you want a completely no-maintanence flop cut, or get your hair down, so that the beautician can see what your face looks like with a decent cut?

Eyebrows first! You can always tie the hair up...

gymboywalton · 27/07/2012 12:33

hair first
everybody looks better with a decent haircut

I'd do brows first - for me it's transfomational whereas my hair - long & layerd looks ok tied back messily in the meantime if you see what I mean.

Go to a beauty shop that does everything, and ask them to do everything. smile

I highly recommend threading for eyebrows if you can find a salon that does.

lilachair · 27/07/2012 12:35

um Smile.

Eyebrows - can make such a difference to your face

caramelwaffle · 27/07/2012 12:39

Eyebrows.

They completely transform your look.

MrsRogerSterling · 27/07/2012 12:43

Eyebrows first.

why not book them together?

MarshaBrady · 27/07/2012 12:44

Eyebrows then hair.

dinkystinky · 27/07/2012 12:44

Haircut -ask for an easy and low maintenance cut. Then eyebrows

dexter73 · 27/07/2012 12:45

I don't think it will make any difference which one you get done first.

Ormiriathomimus · 27/07/2012 12:46

Haircut.

Inyourhippyhat · 27/07/2012 12:48

Hair first. If a woman has a fabulous figure she will be noticed anyway by both men and women. If she does not, it her hair that will be noticed, again, by either sex.

SlightlyJaded · 27/07/2012 12:49

Tie your hair up
Get your eyebrows threaded
Get your haircut later the same day
Ta dah

peanutMD · 27/07/2012 12:51

Eyebrows definately.

Hair can be styled in an up do but messy eyebrows can't be covered.

trixymalixy · 27/07/2012 13:07

Eyebrows first.

Keepthechangeyoufilthyanimal · 27/07/2012 13:50

IslaValargeone · 27/07/2012 13:52

Eyebrows first, you can tie your hair back or put it up as if you were aiming for a shabby chic for hair kind of way.

SkinnyVanillaLatte · 27/07/2012 13:54

Eyebrows first.

Lougle · 27/07/2012 14:08

Thank you Smile Tbh, I have a bit of a beauty phobia. So I don't visit the hairdresser unless I can get my hair cut there and then. Then I leave it forever before going again.

I hate attention, but then realise that it sticks out that I'm so drab arrgh.

SkinnyVanillaLatte · 27/07/2012 15:46

Other option of course is to do as I do. I really haven't got the money or will to go to beauty salons and hairdressers,and I don't like the attention either,so I do it myself usually.

Pluck your own eyebrows and look up the MN haircut.

Sorted!
