ANSWER HONESTLY! Does waxing your eyebrows hurt?

Question

I really need to get them done.

My friend says that it doesnt

but shes also not scared of the fastest rollercoaster (Shes a total Daredevil)

Anyways, I dont want it to hurt.

CAN YOU TELL ME IF IT HURTS? DOES IT STING?

Answer 1

Yes, it hurts me.

And it especially hurts if you have never gotten it done, because they are a lot thicker!

Or if you had got them waxed before, and not for a few months in between.

The hair will eventually grow back less thicker and unruly though if you do keep going on a regular basis to get it done.

Answer 2

aww i was exactly the same way. dont sweat it. It feels just like pulling a band aid off. trust me....im a chicken when it comes to pain and it doesnt hurt really at all.  

Answer 3

I got waxing once, and it wasn't all that bad.

:] The impact kinda gets your eyes teary for the first few

strips, but itll stop hurting after a while.

It isn't like intense pain, but just a little pinch.

:D Nothing too bad, its actually decent for ripping hair out of your face!

& No it doesn't sting unless you have sensitive skin. I personally have sensitive skin and when the lady was done it stung a bit but she put this oil stuff on it, and i didnt feel it anymore. :]

goodluck.

Answer 4

If it is the 1st time that you are getting it done then it will hurt.  It will only hurt when they are pulling out large amounts of hair at one time.  On the sides & in the middle it won't hurt as bad.  If it hurts too bad, then right after they do it ask them to (or do it yourself) apply pressure to where it hurts the worst.  It will help, it really will.  After getting them done a few times it will start to hurt less and less and then it won't bother you at all.

Answer 5

no it does not hurt... it can sting a little. the first time it may be a shock to you. but ask them to hold there finger over were they take off after and it stops the any pain....

but remember it could be different for anyone... so dont be sure just because it doesnt hurt me!

Answer 6

its alot better than plucking...its kinda like taking a band aid off

Answer 7

It stings for 5 seconds

but that's it!

try it i was scared too but its not a big deal really!!

:D

unless your really hairy

jk!

Answer 8

it only hurts 4 like a second and then its over  

Answer 9

It doesn't hurt as much as it stings very briefly after they pull the sheet. The longer the hair is the more likely you are to feel it. You're going to love the results.

Answer 10

no it doesnt hurt at all!!!! its real fast! just make sure to get them done by a professional!!!!

Answer 11

the first time it is kinda a shock so you think it hurts but after the first pull you should be alright =]

Answer 12

not that much. Only for a second or 2 and it's way better than plucking. Plus it's totally worth it. Bushy eyebrows=not attractive

answer mine?

Answer 13

it fells like a little pinch...

Answer 14

i don't think it hurts that bad, well it stings at first but i think it hurts less than plucking them because it takes longer if you pluck them.

hope i helped.

Answer 15

it hurts for like a second or two.

but like its like all of a sudden thing but you'll be fine.

Answer 16

momentarilay, it hurts, and then your eyebrows will feel pretty weird for  a little while after (like 10 minutes). but the pain is very temporary, my eyes water when i get it done, but i'm not crying, it just makes you ract that way. it's not something to worry about though. you should also know that the area waxed gets a little red after

Answer 17

It hurts for like 2 seconds once they rip it your eyebrows might be red afterwords but u should be fine i just got mine done for the first time i was scared but then i realized it wasn't so bad and beauty is worth the pain! ( Not a lot of pain involved though!)

Answer 18

yes but not for long

Answer 19

It hurts but I mean it's not like unbearable. You don't scream or anything but your eyes tear up the first time. Stinging is the best word for it. The first time sucks but you get used to it.

Answer 20

You friend is setting you up because not only is it painful but it stings for a while after wards. But a lot of people do it.  So its up to you and the amount of stinging you can take.  

Answer 21

It stings and feels like a band aid being ripped off.

My eyes usually water..

But it's over so fast...Its no biggy.

Go to a hair salon to do it.

Don't do it yourself...

Master Cuts and Trade Secrets charge $10.00 I believe.

Answer 22

if you relax, it doesn't hurt much. don't clench your teeth or hands -- that only makes the hair harder to yank out.

it depends on your skin, but my friend once got burned by the wax. sometimes it leaves red bumps. ask for a wax for sensitive skin -- it's like green, and it's much nicer. :)

hope i helped

Answer 23

It hurts, but it is a fast pain!

tip: Use ice to numb it first and massage it after to ease the pain!

Answer 24

Of course it does! All those hairs are being removed at once! But it only lasts for a sec.

You mentioned your friend is a daredevil and said it hurts... didn't that answer your question?

Answer 25

In the middle is no problem. It just feels like if you were to put scotch tape on it. But under the eyebrows, the skin in more sensitive, so it stings a little. It only last a few moments, and usually they will have some soothing cream to put on it right after. The pain is defiantly not unbearable. I've gotten it done since I was young, and the pain doesn't keep me from going back. I don't have a high tolerance for pain either.

Good luck!!!

Answer 26

it doesnt hurt i got mine done 4 the 1st time and i was nervous and i thought i would hurt but it didnt it kinda stings but not 2 much its just kinda of a shock when it 1st is done

Answer 27

it hurts the first time you get them done as you aren't used to it, but after a while it doesnt hurt at all =]

and im sure you can stand the little amount of pain for totally gorgeous eyebrows

whatever you do, do not over-wax them - thats what ive done and it takes freaking ages for them to grow back =]

i like your username, by the way.

♥

Answer 28

it hurts the first time, then after a while u get used to it. the only really painful spot is right above your eyelid on that soft patch of skin. above the eyebrows is a breeze. it never burnt or stung for me, but it depends what they rub on your skin afterwards.  

Answer 29

well it kinda of does,

its just a quick tug.

and it stings a little after

but i would'nt say that it hurts.

after your first time its not that bad

you just have to get over the fear

Answer 30

GET A LIFE

spell it out :)

Answer 31

It doesn't hurt at all.  If anything maybe two seconds but no pain at all!!! go for it.  Then if you didn't like the experience buy a good tweezers and follow the line of the waxing.  Keep up with it every couple of days.
