Trimming eyebrows

Options
Husband has just been to have a haircut and hairdresser trimmed his eyebrows. Is this common.? I have offered to shape them with my tweezers.

    Not common here, its common in the middle east.

    After a hair cut or shave they point to a bobbin of thread, and they thead eyebrows, cheeks and ears, I never realised my ears had so many fine hairs!

    The hairdresser trims DH's eyebrows too. It only since he changed hairdressers recently, so he's not sure if it's one of their services or if it's just a sign he's getting old :rotfl:
  • Girlfriend does mine. My local barber's does offer all kinds of facial hair trimming and topiary though, should one want it.

    I'm a stylist and I often trim up eyebrows. Really tidy's them up as a few long strays are unsightly! Yes quite normal to have it done!:)

    :hello: ELLO! :hello:
  • I was told that it was part of the Barbers services. My DH regularly trims his eyebrows using the hair clippers.
  • Barbers have trimmed DH 's eyebrows after a haircut . I do them now . It's only in the last few years they've got longer and he gets hairs on his ears too ! Def an age thing and must just be men who get excess ear hair as I can't remember seeing any ladies with hairy ears . Maybe I haven't been looking . Some men have really hairy brows and they'd look so much better with a trim .
  • I trim my eyebrows and I'm a female! They get really long and it's much nicer and neater when I give them a trim when I pluck them.
