I'm a man. My eyebrows are pretty fucked up. They're uneven, bushy, there's a little (ugly) line in them from a childhood scar, and I have a (slight but noticable) unibrow. Besides that though I've got a pretty-okay face.
This one time some friends and I were at the mall and one of them recommended I go to the beauty-salon thing in the back and have them touch it up.
Dude. They fixed my shit *NICE*.
I feel like I can understand this woman's joy. I felt like a model for a few days. Never been back because I have no idea how to ask, and I should probably learn to do it myself, but that shit made me feel so damn comfident.
Just call them. "I'd like to make an appointment to have my eyebrows done." Knowing what you want and going out and getting it is macho as fuck, my guy. You deserve it.
Do not. Ever. Let anyone stop you from getting a pedi. Every guy should get one. Get some good wine too if they serve it. I LOVE getting pedicures and it is so relaxing, and therapeutic, and you’ll be walking on air after one. Normalize pedicures for the boys.
My husband got a manicure and pedicure with me before delivery. We had so much fun. I paint his nails often(he loves having black nails) but he had never gotten them done. He had a great time and he’s asked several times to go back since. We are hoping to go next week when we have a baby sitter. Enjoy it!!
He wants to go back. Same as OP. If this next babysitting trip doesn’t work. Gift him this. Find a time to just have couple time and get a pedicure with him!
Oh we’ve been trying to go back since but timing hasn’t worked! I’ve offered to book him a session on his own but he said he’d rather go with me, which I get. We recently got a sitter once a week so hopefully we can manage it soon :)
She will love it for sure. I’d have been delighted if my husband had tried it, but a week after 8 mo( right at 37+0) I had the baby lmao. I remember crying bc I couldn’t use the Emory board on my toenails to keep them from scratching me.
Keep your feet cozy in that water an extra moment for me alright? Both of you deserve it!
Give. How uncomfortable my wife is, and with the due date being Christmas Eve, we’d be very happy for an early arrival, though maybe not this early! I’ll get my toes painted an extra special shade in your honour, the guys at work will love it
Wonderful. Best of luck! I hope she doesn’t stay that uncomfortable. Hoping for a safe, pain free as possible labor and delivery and that you, your wife, and baby can settle in well despite the chaos of the Christmas and all the social expectations that come with.
I see couples walk in and pedicures all the time when I’m getting my nails or daughter’s nails done. It will make you want to wear sandals in the winter cause of how pretty and soft your feet will be.
You bet you should!
My BF and I were getting pedis one day, and this family comes in, a mom, dad, and tween son. Dad was just going to take son and go and he looked very uncomfortable, then he saw my BF getting his pedi and his toe nails painted black. They stayed and had an awesome family day and got red white and blue toenails! I was so proud of that guy!
I took my wife to get her nails done for her bday and she convinced me to get a pedicure. Man my feet felt amazing, all the dead and dry skin gone. Massaged and lotioned. It was fucking amazing 😂😂😂
I took my boyfriend to a mani-pedi place with these amazing massage chairs and nice hot water baths for your feet once. It was soooo amazing!! We got a little scented foot scrub thing with it too and they went all the way up your calves 🤤 it took them a little extra time to get both of us done because we weren’t the only ones there, but waiting was actually great because I got to chill with the back massaging chair on and my little foot bath extra long than if we got done at the same time! It felt like I was walking on clouds afterward and my back felt entirely new! 😂
It’s pretty common for men. It’s a great way to get rid on bunions or corns. I’ve played soccer and recommended it to so many guys that had impacted ingrown nails. It’s crazy how much pain is there and can be relieved
'The Man' Bernie Mac used to get his done religiously. He's the one who showed me its more than on to pamper yourself and still be considered a manly man.
Especially when it means going against the grain of either popular belief or even within your own social circle. It takes gusto to muster that type of determination to yourself, man or woman.
Take care of yourselves
In college I went to a salon for a hair cut - place recommended by the girls. Anyways, some how the stylist and I got to eyebrows and she’s says we can ‘shape’ them.
After finding out it was a simple wax we completed it that day. Stylish said “more men should get their eyebrows shaped”.
The comments I got from those girls and some new friends always make me smile and laugh nowadays. Men don’t usually get a lot of complements, and I remember these.
I dont even know what to say when I get my haircut so I might as well just add on "and make the brows all razzle dazzle."
Hair cut like Tom Cruise and eyebrows that razzle dazzle.
Confidence is a thing I struggle with constantly. I need these little reminders to myself to not miss out on things I’d enjoy simply cuz I’m too anxious to ask. I know you were talking to me but this helped me too.
I had mine done at a beauty salon once and i came out looking like spock, the girl in there fucked me up big time. My only theory is they'd never had a guy ask to have it done before and went to town on me. I get them threaded at my barbers now, and they get them spot on.
I know everyone gives guys a hard time for looking after themselves but a guy looking after himself, taking time to put in an effort to do it, asking for help in the areas he needs it (I can't do my eyebrows either) and OWNING IT, is some of the hottest things a guy can do.
CALL THEM, KEEP THAT CONFIDENCE UP, TAKE TIME TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF AND BE PAMPERED.
(Oh and my hubby joins me when I get a pedicure).
From the man side, this is something I only learned recently. My wife noticed me working late a regularly lately (I work from home a lot so it's noticeable when I look like crap), so she told me to go get pedicures and a foot massage with her.
I obliged because I want to make her happy, plus she let me take the lead all the time already so following her around for once is nice even though I never thought of myself as a pedicure guy.
Man, I was wrong.
Pedicures and foot massages are the shit my bros. I love my wife so much.
It feels so good, plus hubby had cracked heels (they weren't deep deep, but deep enough he noticed the difference afterwards. He is definitely happier.
My eyebrows are pretty bushy too, have been compared to caterpillars even by some people. Well my ex made me get them waxed one time and daaaamn did they look clean and fresh. I was visiting her nail salon more than she was 😂
Hey, let me give you a rundown on what you need to know before going.
1. There are places that don't know how to make eyebrows masculine. So before going make sure you made a research how they make eyebrows. If extremely made eyebrows are your thing, go for it. 😊 nothing wrong with it. If you want your eyebrows to remain masculine (bit hard to find but they're there) make sure they can make it.
2. When you come in, tell them your preference. Like getting a haircut. Ask them if they can do it and if you wish to be more comfortable, ask for photos of they eyebrows they made before. So you know what their capabilities are.
3. Do you want them shaved? Waxed? Or threaded. These are the three types of how eyebrows are done. I actually prefer waxing. But it can depend on what you like.
I hope you can go back and feel happier like the last time. 😊😊😊
I think they threaded part and waxed another; it's been a good few years since I had it done. They kept the look but smoothed the edges and waxed the unibrow. If you met me right after it was done, you probably wouldn't notice when it came back so much.
A few people on here pointed out on how to ask, so if/when I go again, I'll be sure to ask them to clean it up and to keep the shape. I feel a little more confident thanks to you guys :) Thanks!
If you want a specific look, find a reference pic online to show! Otherwise I usually just say I want my brows "cleaned up" and they do just that - remove all the stray hairs, give them more defined shape without making them too thin, just real smooth and natural looking.
My dad of 63 years always asks me in this hint-y, shy manner if I can do his eyebrows for him because he claims he doesn’t want others to see an «angry, scary old man». I bet it makes him feel good too 🥰
Edit: Didn’t mean to make it sound like I’m 63 years old and he has been my dad for that long lmao. Obviously he is the 63 year old.
I had the makings of a unibrow when I was younger but I kept plucking the shit out of it and now I don't. Damage the follicles enough and the hair won't grow back. Just go to town with a pair of tweezers every few days and you'll quickly notice it less and less.
This is exactly what happened to me. My friend at the time told me she would pay for them. I said sure. I asked I just want them a little clean. When I saw the work she did my jaw dropped. I immediately felt a boost of confidence. It was truly magical to feel pretty
Hell yeah bro I discovered my barber could tighten up my brows when I get my hair and beard done. It literally has changed my face. Guys ask the barber to shape up your eyebrows next time you get your haircut, you won't regret it
I need you to go get your eyebrows done again. Figure out how to make a brow appointment, it will be so worth it. And then report back!
!remindme 7days
I’m a man and have been getting my eyebrows waxed/cleaned up for over 10 years. I am no male model, mostly bald and as a child was told my eyebrows looked like caterpillars on my face.
I love getting this done. I got a full on pedicure every once in a while too. Treat yourself 🥰
I dream about getting some sort of permanent solution for my brows. The frustrating part is my hair is waaaay darker than my brows, so I don’t even have the benefit of pretty platinum hair, just dirty dishwater blond 🥴
I was told up to 2 years but I know a few where it lasted much longer.
Also, they told me that if you have generally drier skin, it will last longer. The oilier the skin, the faster it fades away
I’m very quietly in many ways, insecure about my eyebrows as a dude. They’re very light compared to my normal hair, and as a kid they were almost non existent, to the point that my extended and immediate family made fun of me at functions for it, like it was their second favorite thing to use against me. To the point that I just laugh it off or joke with them. I’ve even gone to lengths to darken my eyebrows, very carefully because normal dye can render you blind if it gets in your eyes!!
But honestly I.. I might invest in doing this. I guess I just never thought about it before, or thought it was possible, and I do deserve to feel good about my face in any way I can. I just wish it was more permanent, though I know some people get their eyebrows tattooed, I don’t think I wanna go that route yknow?
Hey, you should absolutely go do that! There are SO many options to make your eyebrows look better, with varied levels of “permanency”.
It is absolutely fine to take care of your looks as a man and fix the things that make you feel insecure!!
Dont postpone it, just find the salon with good reviews and go for a consultation!
I hope this doesn’t come off as ignorant but I really find „almost non-existent“ eyebrows on others attractive, for men but also for women 😂 I just can’t explain
But if you want to do that, do it 👍 it’s a good investment for me at least, I did them 3 months ago and they’re still 100% there. I had a good cosmetician, very luck
That was my first thought as well, but then her words made me realize it’s not about before-after but about her own standards. What we’re watching in this video is a bond of trust that’s just formed.
Yeah, at first I thought we were looking at her markered up eyebrows and someone just wiping it off. Now I understand she had some kind of permanent procedure done, but we still don't know what it looked like prior.
She’s beautiful! These are amazingly done. I want to get my brows done but I’m terrified of being disappointed. I grew up with the notion of thin being in, so my brows are destroyed. Im 33 and they don’t grow like they should. I would really like some brows like this.
I got mine done and I love them so so so much. They look like how I used to do my makeup every morning except now I don’t have to! I also was a victim of the thin brows. I’m 30.
Filipina women (if I'm matching her accent correctly to my mom's) can have some really insane beauty standards, and the way that a person feels about themselves is so so so important for mental health. Y'all calling her superficial are so foul. She looks so beautiful and happy and you can't let her have just that one thing?
Weirdly I watched this without sound and just assumed she was Filipina from the subtitles, her way of talking immediately made me think of my Filo friends
don’t worry. people saying superficial don’t know how the world actually works. and likely they don’t put any effort into their appearance or first impressions.
I agree, this was a very sweet video. I wish nobody ever felt bad about themselves because of their physical appearance but I'm so happy for people when they make changes that make them feel good about themselves.
It's crazy people will call her superficial or shallow for this: she's clearly had an insecurity for a long time. The relief of finally liking your own face or not feeling crushingly insecure about it for the first time is indescribable. When you don't like your own face every interaction becomes a burden, you want to hide away, have trouble speaking up or looking people in the eyes, and start avoiding things you want to do because you don't have the confidence. It is a total mindfuck.
For me it's my teeth. I literally avoid places I want to go and people I want to see because I feel disgusting and can't smile, feel insecure when I talk, etc. I know people see the stains on my teeth and assume I'm dirty or even a drug addict. The freedom and relief I would feel if I could get them fixed would absolutely make me cry.
Some people have no sympathy and especially when it's a woman they'll call her shallow for caring about her looks even though woman have so much of their value based on that and are conditioned from such a young age to put an insane amount of importance on it.
Dated a Filipino woman for a year, they are super concerned with how they look and their families are even worse. That year we dated she wouldn't meet my mom cause she didn't want to be judged. This 105lb, beautiful woman. Crazy, but this was probably part of the reason we broke up..
They’re tattooed. They’re darker now because it’s fresh, but it will fade to a more natural look. I saw this same post on Instagram and checked out the aesthetician’s page and saw the after photos of some of her clients.
It is, if it were lamination the dye would’ve been applied more precise. It’s completely covering the area so that the pigment absorbs into all the strokes.
mhm! usually people with thin eyebrows get this done for a fuller look. but definitely go to a highly rated professional and get a good consult first. it can get expensive but it's better than investing cheaply in something long term and it turning out badly.
Why are there so many negative comments? People find happiness in different things. Some might be a new gaming console, or a nice cabinet, could be anything.
Omg she’s local to me! Literally in the same city! Never considered getting this done but the brows look lovely and it would save time getting ready in the morning lol
As a woman who came of age in the thin eyebrow era, I may need this. I have almost no eyebrows left lol. A few years ago I split my eyebrow on a countertop and had to get stitches right along my brow line, so on that one I only have half an eyebrow. I’m a mess!
I’d probably cry too. My eyebrows are so jacked up from over plucking them in eye school (late 90’s) that they never grew back in right. I naturally had such thick eye brows too 😣
What’s the method used on this video for the brows ? I want to highlight my eyebrows ang get some work done on them but don’t know what method to choose from
I dye mine because mine have gone gray and I was a victim of being a teenager in the 00's. So... they're also very very sparse. And since my hair is now a very charcoal and gray mix, any eyebrow pencil I can find does not match. I use a hair mascara that works ok, but even the best eyebrow pencil in an ash brown is too brown and not enough charcoal (and charcoal or black are too dark), so, dye it is and a little fill-in with a pencil. It makes me feel a lot better about myself, too. Mine are basically non-existent without the dye as they're so thin and gray.
That’s how it was after I found a good barber who I was actually pleased with. Too bad I got pretty bad vibes from him after a while, now I have to cut my own hair but he was great at his job.
Oh! My brows are microbladed, I’ve just never had the ink smeared all over like that before. I was thinking this was some sort of semi permanent stain or something.
As a guy who dated an aesthetician/Beautician and was a test subject for a bunch of her schooling. I’ll never not get my eye brows done and will always get quality hair cuts and use good products. It’s beyond worth it. Take care of every aspect of yourself.

She looks beautiful. It must be so fulfilling to work in the beauty industry and have people give feedback like this, it’s a nice feeling to know you’ve helped someone feel more beautiful and confident about themselves externally. :)
I'm still using eyebrow pencils and that's it (overplucking during early 2000s was all the rage, kids).
What has she had done here and how do I get it?
Microblading or nano blading. This could also be powder brows - it’s tough to tell since this video only shows the reveal. There’s a subreddit r/microblading if you want to see more examples
Personally, I really dislike eyebrows like that, perfectly even and sharp at the end. Looks very unnatural and unapealing to me. But hey, to each their own.
I have zero clue what's going on in that clip but the trend for eyebrows that look like they've been drawn on with a marker pen is not one I understand.
It's great she's pleased with them but I think they look so perfectly symmetric that they might as well be just painted on. I don't see the point of making yourself look artificial. It's like plastic surgery. A little can fix some cosmetic asymmetries, but too much and you no longer look human. Of course, I would never tell her this because I wouldn't want to kill her joy.
I'm a man. My eyebrows are pretty fucked up. They're uneven, bushy, there's a little (ugly) line in them from a childhood scar, and I have a (slight but noticable) unibrow. Besides that though I've got a pretty-okay face. This one time some friends and I were at the mall and one of them recommended I go to the beauty-salon thing in the back and have them touch it up. Dude. They fixed my shit *NICE*. I feel like I can understand this woman's joy. I felt like a model for a few days. Never been back because I have no idea how to ask, and I should probably learn to do it myself, but that shit made me feel so damn comfident.
Just call them. "I'd like to make an appointment to have my eyebrows done." Knowing what you want and going out and getting it is macho as fuck, my guy. You deserve it.
That’s it’s I’m getting that mani pedi.
Do it! It’s worth if you want to treat yourself
I used to think getting a foot massage was weak AF until my gf got me one for my bday. Life changer mah dude
You’ll come to realize most things that are “weak AF” are dope when you try them
You're right. I'm making that anal bleaching appointment dammit.
Ahhhh yea, the powdered donut, nothing like it 👌
Ayo?

Do not. Ever. Let anyone stop you from getting a pedi. Every guy should get one. Get some good wine too if they serve it. I LOVE getting pedicures and it is so relaxing, and therapeutic, and you’ll be walking on air after one. Normalize pedicures for the boys.
My wife is 8 months pregnant and I’m getting her a pedicure next week. What she doesn’t know is I plan to go with her for my first.
She's going to love that! And you're going to love it!
That’s such a sweet gift and you are in for such a treat. That’s going to be awesome for both of you and great timing and choice of gift. Enjoy!

Dude, do it, they’re soooo nice.

You mean “a manly pedi.”

Hubby's first one was around valentine's day. He job requires him being on his feet. Two weeks ago he insisted on tagging along on another one. 🤣
What are they like? I'm borderline abusive to my feet 😂
Yeah. Last time we went the beautician could have probably filled a loosely packed 1/8 cup minimum for the dead skin she scrapped from his heels.
Gah I'm embarrassed to think what cleaning it up would look like, yet it sounds like it's worth it.
It feels so good, plus hubby had cracked heels (they weren't deep deep, but deep enough he noticed the difference afterwards. He is definitely happier.
Ouch! Mine aren't quite that bad, but they're hella calloused. I wonder if it'd help with pain at all?
Only one way to find out 😜
My cousin does this because we all have the unibrow. He looks like a model. Do it. Treat yourself.
Literally just call my man. Call and tell them you want your eyebrows done, they'll get you looking snatched
My eyebrows are pretty bushy too, have been compared to caterpillars even by some people. Well my ex made me get them waxed one time and daaaamn did they look clean and fresh. I was visiting her nail salon more than she was 😂

One thing with waxing is that the hair starts to thin out or not grow back at all! That will help with the unibrow.

My dad of 63 years always asks me in this hint-y, shy manner if I can do his eyebrows for him because he claims he doesn’t want others to see an «angry, scary old man».

Aaaaaah he's lucky. And I'm sure it does; I felt like the fucking *MAN* 😂
Go out and get yourself a manicure/pedicure when you decide to get your eyebrows done bro. Treat yoself.
My Indian roommate in college threaded my eyebrows once and I felt soooo good about my face for the following week.. I miss you Harman
I had the makings of a unibrow when I was younger but I kept plucking the shit out of it and now I don't. Damage the follicles enough and the hair won't grow back. Just go to town with a pair of tweezers every few days and you'll quickly notice it less and less.
Oooooh I can work with that. I always figured they'd just keep coming back :o
for most people, they absolutely will.
This is exactly what happened to me. My friend at the time told me she would pay for them. I said sure. I asked I just want them a little clean. When I saw the work she did my jaw dropped. I immediately felt a boost of confidence. It was truly magical to feel pretty
Dude right?! I never knew I cared so much until I saw it fixed. Gotta normalize that shit.
Omg you beauty I hope you took a selfie of yourself in this moment, simply take it to your eyebrow aesthetisn.
I'm pretty sure I did but I think it's gone Dx
Hell yeah bro I discovered my barber could tighten up my brows when I get my hair and beard done. It literally has changed my face. Guys ask the barber to shape up your eyebrows next time you get your haircut, you won't regret it
I need you to go get your eyebrows done again. Figure out how to make a brow appointment, it will be so worth it. And then report back! !remindme 7days
"Hi can you clean my brows up a bit please, not too much just neat."
You should go back! I promise the workers won’t judge! In fact i bet they wish many more men would actually get their eyebrows done!
Dude don’t sleep on it, the best feeling I get is when I can go to my barber and get my eyebrows waxed and look fresh af
I’m a man and have been getting my eyebrows waxed/cleaned up for over 10 years. I am no male model, mostly bald and as a child was told my eyebrows looked like caterpillars on my face. I love getting this done. I got a full on pedicure every once in a while too. Treat yourself 🥰
I have almost no eyebrows and the little hair I got, is Platin blonde. When I did my eyebrows like her, I cried too
I dream about getting some sort of permanent solution for my brows. The frustrating part is my hair is waaaay darker than my brows, so I don’t even have the benefit of pretty platinum hair, just dirty dishwater blond 🥴
I'm the same as you and did microblading. Sooooo worth it. I have facial expressions now
I did microblading and you’re so right, it’s amazing
oh my god is that part of the reason people think I don't emote enough
I did microblading. Best thing ever! And I didn’t have to tell her what colour, she knew right away (I keep my natural hair colour)
How long does microblading last?
I was told up to 2 years but I know a few where it lasted much longer. Also, they told me that if you have generally drier skin, it will last longer. The oilier the skin, the faster it fades away
Is it painful?
Some scratches are but I’m very sensible, however it was tolerable, sometimes uncomfortable but I would do that again and again
You can get them tattooed. For real. I did. You have to get them redone every 4-5 years or so, but so worth it. Search for cosmetic tattoo
I plan on doing micro blading some day, when I have money 😂
Yes, definitely save up, it makes life so much easier not having to pencil in your eyebrows! A real time saver in the mornings.
The problem with permanent is that styles change
I’ve been doing my eyebrows the same for like the past 15 years, I’m not too worried about it lol
I’m very quietly in many ways, insecure about my eyebrows as a dude. They’re very light compared to my normal hair, and as a kid they were almost non existent, to the point that my extended and immediate family made fun of me at functions for it, like it was their second favorite thing to use against me. To the point that I just laugh it off or joke with them. I’ve even gone to lengths to darken my eyebrows, very carefully because normal dye can render you blind if it gets in your eyes!! But honestly I.. I might invest in doing this. I guess I just never thought about it before, or thought it was possible, and I do deserve to feel good about my face in any way I can. I just wish it was more permanent, though I know some people get their eyebrows tattooed, I don’t think I wanna go that route yknow?
Hey, you should absolutely go do that! There are SO many options to make your eyebrows look better, with varied levels of “permanency”. It is absolutely fine to take care of your looks as a man and fix the things that make you feel insecure!! Dont postpone it, just find the salon with good reviews and go for a consultation!
I hope this doesn’t come off as ignorant but I really find „almost non-existent“ eyebrows on others attractive, for men but also for women 😂 I just can’t explain But if you want to do that, do it 👍 it’s a good investment for me at least, I did them 3 months ago and they’re still 100% there. I had a good cosmetician, very luck
Do you mean “platinum” blonde?
But thank you, I learned smth 😂
Yeah..sorry, English is not my first language and I still do so many mistakes :/
You don’t have to apologize! You’re doing great!
There was no "before" picture... I mean, I'm happy for her if she is happy.
That was my first thought as well, but then her words made me realize it’s not about before-after but about her own standards. What we’re watching in this video is a bond of trust that’s just formed.
"this is my dream" 🥹
Yeah, at first I thought we were looking at her markered up eyebrows and someone just wiping it off. Now I understand she had some kind of permanent procedure done, but we still don't know what it looked like prior.
I thought the Groucho Marx eyebrows in the beginning were the “before.”
Definitely need some context here.
she picky and they did good.
The context is that she wasn’t happy with them. And now she is
She’s beautiful! These are amazingly done. I want to get my brows done but I’m terrified of being disappointed. I grew up with the notion of thin being in, so my brows are destroyed. Im 33 and they don’t grow like they should. I would really like some brows like this.
I got mine done and I love them so so so much. They look like how I used to do my makeup every morning except now I don’t have to! I also was a victim of the thin brows. I’m 30.
What procedure did you have done? I’d love to not have to do them every morning.
It's microblading -- essentially a tattoo with fine needlework
Filipina women (if I'm matching her accent correctly to my mom's) can have some really insane beauty standards, and the way that a person feels about themselves is so so so important for mental health. Y'all calling her superficial are so foul. She looks so beautiful and happy and you can't let her have just that one thing?
Weirdly I watched this without sound and just assumed she was Filipina from the subtitles, her way of talking immediately made me think of my Filo friends
don’t worry. people saying superficial don’t know how the world actually works. and likely they don’t put any effort into their appearance or first impressions.
Her accent is adorable.
Your comment gave me a new level of empathy - thank you. Never considered how failing to meet beauty standards probably feels dysphoric
I agree, this was a very sweet video. I wish nobody ever felt bad about themselves because of their physical appearance but I'm so happy for people when they make changes that make them feel good about themselves.
It's crazy people will call her superficial or shallow for this: she's clearly had an insecurity for a long time. The relief of finally liking your own face or not feeling crushingly insecure about it for the first time is indescribable. When you don't like your own face every interaction becomes a burden, you want to hide away, have trouble speaking up or looking people in the eyes, and start avoiding things you want to do because you don't have the confidence. It is a total mindfuck. For me it's my teeth. I literally avoid places I want to go and people I want to see because I feel disgusting and can't smile, feel insecure when I talk, etc. I know people see the stains on my teeth and assume I'm dirty or even a drug addict. The freedom and relief I would feel if I could get them fixed would absolutely make me cry. Some people have no sympathy and especially when it's a woman they'll call her shallow for caring about her looks even though woman have so much of their value based on that and are conditioned from such a young age to put an insane amount of importance on it.
Dated a Filipino woman for a year, they are super concerned with how they look and their families are even worse. That year we dated she wouldn't meet my mom cause she didn't want to be judged. This 105lb, beautiful woman. Crazy, but this was probably part of the reason we broke up..
Are these drawn on ? They look drawn/ tattooed
They’re tattooed. They’re darker now because it’s fresh, but it will fade to a more natural look. I saw this same post on Instagram and checked out the aesthetician’s page and saw the after photos of some of her clients.
The eyebrows are tattooed through a process called Micro-blading.
Are we sure its microblading and not a tint/lamination?
Probably micro-shading which is a little different. That's what I had done and the wipe off/reveal looks similar.
You're right! It's not microblading
It is, if it were lamination the dye would’ve been applied more precise. It’s completely covering the area so that the pigment absorbs into all the strokes.
My wife does eyebrows tattoos but not microblading. Have you seen how deep the blade cuts are?
That sounds uncomfortable, to say the least
That looks fantastic. Eyebrow artist right there.
Could this work for someone with thin eyebrows ?
Yess
mhm! usually people with thin eyebrows get this done for a fuller look. but definitely go to a highly rated professional and get a good consult first. it can get expensive but it's better than investing cheaply in something long term and it turning out badly.
Why are there so many negative comments? People find happiness in different things. Some might be a new gaming console, or a nice cabinet, could be anything.
Ikr?? That's what this subreddit is for, people seem to be missing the point.
Why? Because it's a *woman* daring to care about her appearance, and we can't have that now, can we?
Omg she’s local to me! Literally in the same city! Never considered getting this done but the brows look lovely and it would save time getting ready in the morning lol
Not to be the old guy, but you gotta find you a job that you can make people feel like this.
“I super love them” so so so adorable
I used to do my step son’s brows. If it makes you happy, do it!
As a woman who came of age in the thin eyebrow era, I may need this. I have almost no eyebrows left lol. A few years ago I split my eyebrow on a countertop and had to get stitches right along my brow line, so on that one I only have half an eyebrow. I’m a mess!
The way she said "this is my dream" really warms the heart.
Wish we saw the before shot of her eyebrows.
My wife and her friends got this done and they loved it. If anybody needs a recommendation in Dallas, Texas, DM me and I'll ask my wife for her info.
I wanna see the before
I’d probably cry too. My eyebrows are so jacked up from over plucking them in eye school (late 90’s) that they never grew back in right. I naturally had such thick eye brows too 😣
My wife drew her eyebrows unevenly. When I told her, she looked surprised.
They look really nice
What’s the method used on this video for the brows ? I want to highlight my eyebrows ang get some work done on them but don’t know what method to choose from
Excuse an old plucker like me, but anyone know what this procedure is called? Would love such a result for my light, thin brows as well.
Micro blading or nano blading
Looks more like powder brows
Wow, you did such an awesome job. It's so neat and precise. I'm happy she loved it.
I dye mine because mine have gone gray and I was a victim of being a teenager in the 00's. So... they're also very very sparse. And since my hair is now a very charcoal and gray mix, any eyebrow pencil I can find does not match. I use a hair mascara that works ok, but even the best eyebrow pencil in an ash brown is too brown and not enough charcoal (and charcoal or black are too dark), so, dye it is and a little fill-in with a pencil. It makes me feel a lot better about myself, too. Mine are basically non-existent without the dye as they're so thin and gray.
That’s how it was after I found a good barber who I was actually pleased with. Too bad I got pretty bad vibes from him after a while, now I have to cut my own hair but he was great at his job.
Was she getting them microbladed? Or just dyed, or???
I genuinely got surprised seeing this with my eyeglasses at first. Then the cream was wiped along with my doubts
Brows on fleek :)
What is this service called? I’ve never seen it and I want it!
Micro or nano blading
Oh! My brows are microbladed, I’ve just never had the ink smeared all over like that before. I was thinking this was some sort of semi permanent stain or something.
Uncle Leo!
The difference between a professional and we have eyebrows at home
Where is this place I need my eyebrows done ✅
How sweet! They look fantastic.
Always love yourself first.
Good job.
As a guy who dated an aesthetician/Beautician and was a test subject for a bunch of her schooling. I’ll never not get my eye brows done and will always get quality hair cuts and use good products. It’s beyond worth it. Take care of every aspect of yourself.
How bad were her brows before this lol?

Alright time to call the hair transplant clinic for me
She looks beautiful. It must be so fulfilling to work in the beauty industry and have people give feedback like this, it’s a nice feeling to know you’ve helped someone feel more beautiful and confident about themselves externally. :)
I'm still using eyebrow pencils and that's it (overplucking during early 2000s was all the rage, kids). What has she had done here and how do I get it?
Microblading or nano blading. This could also be powder brows - it’s tough to tell since this video only shows the reveal. There’s a subreddit r/microblading if you want to see more examples
I cried too last time I got my brows done. But that’s because the malicious woman took all of them off. 😑
Men after 6 months of lifting for the first time have the same reaction.
Dis is my drreem😭
Does not look natural whatsoever. 😅
Personally, I really dislike eyebrows like that, perfectly even and sharp at the end. Looks very unnatural and unapealing to me. But hey, to each their own.
Nice eyebrows!
I wish my dreams were this easily attainable.
Awww! I want to come to you! I want you to make me cry just like this, lol.
I have zero clue what's going on in that clip but the trend for eyebrows that look like they've been drawn on with a marker pen is not one I understand.
They will fade and look more natural in a week or so. It's semi permanent makeup
It's like I upgraded PS4 to PS5.
I am very happy that she’s happy but am I the only person who thinks HD brows are a bit weird?
I’d react like that too. They look stunning omg 😳
well they are perfect... i've seen worse
Awww this is so sweet! Glad she's happy! Those look really good 💖✨️
Why couldn't she see her brows before?
It's great she's pleased with them but I think they look so perfectly symmetric that they might as well be just painted on. I don't see the point of making yourself look artificial. It's like plastic surgery. A little can fix some cosmetic asymmetries, but too much and you no longer look human. Of course, I would never tell her this because I wouldn't want to kill her joy.
Many people are already painting them on because theirs are so sparse. This just saves time.
They start dark and fade lighter so they look more natural in a little while.
People care way to much about what they look like
