Thinking about getting my eyebrows done - they are sparse and I feel too self-conscious to leave the house without 'filling them in' first.
Has anyone else had them done?

If you want to do it, and are happy with a specific eyebrow shape - go for it!
Not sure, but I think it might be hard to get a natural look.The woman I know who has had it done looks like she has make up on all the time and it's quite a 'done up' look.
Ha ha ha. I don't touch fake tan. English rose complexion.
Something like this wouldn't be too bad:

If you google though, there are some really freaky pictures where people have impossibly dark brows or they've had them drawn on the very verge of their browbones. Mind really just need filling in and lengthening slightly.
I'm convinced someone at work has had them done... hers are just too perfect. I don't think she'd admit it any more than she'll admit her hair is extensions) which is a shame as she looks good.
But ye Gods they are sore! I'm not allowed to touch them or even lay a cold flannel on my head to stop them hurting. Actually having them done wasn't painful, but my entire forehead feels as though it's on fire right now. Can't wait for them to start fading so I can see what they look like once they've healed properly.
Cost me £250, which seems quite standard. Not too bad if you think that they can last 2 years or even longer, and a trip to the salon for a cut and colour costs £50.
I'm normally a wimp about needles - I never thought I'd be brave enough to get a tattoo for example. But I really wanted to sort my brows out so decided to bite the bullet - and it wasn't that bad. She used anasthetic cream for most of the procedure; but even when I wasn't completely numb it wasn't that bad at all. I even relaxed and was laughing and chatting to her.
It's discomfort more than anything - and they're scabbing over so quite sore today.
