Do your eyes water when you get your eyebrows waxed?

Question

Ive only had my eyebrows professionally waxed once (i usually pluck them at home, but they haven't turned out very nice the last few times so i want to get them waxed). Last time i had them done, my eyes watered like mad, and I'm pretty sure she thought i was crying out of pain. Do yours water?

Answer 1

yeah i dont get my eyebrows waxed too often. maybe twice a year. i usually tweeze.

but my eyes have never watered.

you might be allergic to the wax or have really sensitive skin. you should find a different place.

Answer 2

No, My eyebrows water when I get my eyes waxed.

Answer 3

i am going to say it just a reaction because me my friend and some other people i know all of our eyes water when we get it done. I dont think it would be an allergic reaction because i have been to like 4 different places and my eyes still water.

Answer 4

waxing works alot better than plucking because it lasts alot longer and thins the hair more so they don't grow back as thick and yes my eyes water alot but its worth it all i can say is that day wear waterproof mascara if you do wear mascara :)

Answer 5

My eyes water when I get mine done.  I think its a natural response to pain, even if the pain doesn't bother you that much.

I'm pretty sure everyone's eyes water at least a little bit when they get their brows done.  It doesn't phase the salon worker, especially the ones who do bikini waxes.  Oh, what those poor women see..

Answer 6

Omg I just had mine done and they watered. I had tears running down my cheeks.

Answer 7

no they use to though. ive had it done so many times it doesnt even hurt any more. :)

Answer 8

When your eyes water up while waxing, that means you are having an allergec reaction to the wax. Usually mine just swells up and turns bright red, then after the red fades I get their pin-point red dots all over it. Try going to do a different salon.
