Hey guys I want to get my eyebrows done professionally but I don't know what they call the place that does them. By the way I'm a guy so I would really feel uncomfortable if I just walked into a store where only girls go to. Thanks!

You want to get them waxed or bleached?

A shop that is upscale (not in a mall) will do them for you. Try a smaller store with higher prices and a lot of expertise. Go in and ask questions about the products they sell. If the salesperson makes you feel comfortable and is easy to talk to, ask.

What kind of store is it?

I mean to get a hair cut you go to a haircutter store. So to get your eyebrows done you go to an eyebrow store? Or is it called something else? Manicure?

Save yourself some cash... just buy a set of eyebrow tweezers and check out this site:

Mens Eyebrow Grooming Advice (http://www.eyebrowz.com/mens/eyebrowstatement.htm)

It shows you the general shapes of mens eyebrows and shows you how you can make them appear thicker..

Don't over pluck, just neaten up the edges and if you want to change the shape do it gradually.

If you want to change the shape drastically you can get a white pencil and draw on the new shape so you don't end up removing hair from the wrong place.

A lot of hairdressers these days are also beauty salons..

Just look up beauty salon in the phone book ;)

Manicures are you nails.. eyebrows waxing is just well.. eyebrow waxing!

Thanks for the advice shazy! I just finished doing my eyebrows and after staring at it and plucking it for an hour I think I finally like it now! As a guy I never spent so much time in front of the mirror LOL now I knows how it feels to be a girl! LOL JOKES.

I was wondering if its possible to make some part of your eyebrow a little bit more bushier?

There isn't any way to make the hair grow bushier but you can make them appear denser with make-up...

Yeah I know, I know, guys + make-up = no but no-one will be able to tell!
Just go to the beauty section of a department store and buy an eyeshadow that roughly matches your eyebrow color (slightly darker is better)
Then you just take a small soft brush and put a little of the eyeshadow on your eyebrows.
The eyeshadow will coat the hairs making them appear thicker and bushier ;)
Don't use any liquid products like mascara or eyeliner because they will make the hairs clump together and it will be obvious that you are wearing make -up :p
