Why you should consider stopping waxing today!

As a brow artist who advocates for tweezing as the preferred brow shaping method, it's no surprise that I strongly oppose waxing (and threading). If you're a client or friend, feel free to skip this blog—you've likely heard my view on waxing many times before.

However, if you need more convincing, keep reading...

In the last two decades, I've heard countless horror stories about brow disasters caused by waxing. This outdated method has left many women dissatisfied and insecure about their appearance.

Here are some compelling reasons to reconsider booking a brow wax:

1. Skin sensitivity: The skin around the eyes is delicate. Waxing can cause irritation, redness, or even allergic reactions.

2. High risk of over-waxing and shaping errors: Waxing is inherently imprecise, making it easy to accidentally remove too much hair at once. This often results in thin, uneven, or sparse brows, and regrowth can be limited or stunted.

3. Pain and discomfort: Waxing can be painful, especially for those with low pain thresholds or skin conditions like eczema.

4. Potential for ingrown hairs: Waxing can lead to ingrown hairs, which can cause painful bumps and inflammation.

5. Skin Damage: Careless handling of hot wax can result in burns, and repeated pulling on sensitive skin increases the risk of premature wrinkles around the brow area.

6. Allergic reactions to ingredients: Many waxes may contain harsh chemicals or fragrances that can trigger allergic reactions.

You may be tempted to wax out of habit, convenience, or the desire for a quick fix, but the adverse effects shouldn't be overlooked. It's time to give your eyebrows the careful consideration they deserve. Choose tweezing!
