First time I went to my last barber, he was almost done cutting my hair and said "do you want me to trim your eyebrows?"

I said, "hmm, no, I think they're alright."

He stared for a couple seconds. Then said, "...Imma trim them." And that's how I got my first eyebrow trim.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

At the barbershop I went to regularly, the women barbers would ask if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed and I always declined. One visit a guy cuts my hair and trims them without asking. What the he'll was I thinking? I no longer look like the Winter Warlock

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Next time do the ears and nose too. Your partner will appreciate it.

[–] pticrix@lemmy.ca 37 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We know we can. But it gives me this "Old Wise Owl" look. Puffy eyebrows

[–] Fuckswearwords@lemmy.world 45 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You forgot the red circles around the ears.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 39 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And nostrils. My life is regret.

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 16 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Hot take: men's barbers should have jurisdiction over all these areas as routine grooming.

[–] Sadbutdru@sopuli.xyz 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I've heard some Turkish barbers use fire for this.

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

They probably have a method but I cant recommend using a match for ear hair. Made a cool sound though

[–] sugarfoot00@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

That take is not-so-hot. It should just be part of the deal. If I don't trim my eyebrows regularly, there is inevitably some wild ones that really take off. Once I can start annoyingly detecting my eyeglass frames with them, it's definitely time for a trim.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

My partners barber always asks if he should do the eyebrows too

[–] white_nrdy@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

I asked my barber to shave the gap between them at first. Then he responded with "can I just do the whole thing? It'll look sick"

It did in fact, look great

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 4 points 3 days ago

Clearly a candidate for sainthood.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

And nostrils.

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 4 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I trim my nose and ear hair, my wife plucks the big ones on my ears, but I do not touch my big beautiful bushy eyebrows. I have eyebrow one hair so long I’ve named it.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

You can't say that and then not tell us the name.

I remember when I was a beginner old person, I was getting a haircut from a guy (a rarity at the barbershop I go to), and he asked me if I wanted to trim up my eyebrows.

I was a little confused, because I thought that was something like a spa treatment, and I was worried he wanted to overdo me and I'd have like, that drawn-on eyebrows style. "I dunno, do I need it?"

"It's just grooming, dude." He said. That always stuck with me. It is just grooming, dude.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Just grooming. That's good advice. We old bastards should trim everything. I didn't realize I had a wired chest patch that would stick out of my t-shirt. Once my wife pointed it out I look way less stupid.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Ha, jokes on you, i haven't shaved or cut my hair in years! My eyebrows however get a daily pluck. Can't get my beauty sleep with my eye mustaches touching my pillow.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago (3 children)

...is it normal to have to trim your eyebrows? i have never in my life touched mine and they've always stayed the same normal length

[–] sugarfoot00@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

You must be young. Trust me, as you age hair starts creeping out of places you wouldn't expect and your eyebrows attempt to devour your face.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

You reach a certain age and then, one day, BAM. Some crazy thick-ass course hair 2 inches long comes sticking outta your face. 3 days later, it finds a friend. Then another.

You forget about it and. 3 months later you look like you're dad and his dad, and have no idea how it happened.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

For some people, it is. I only shave a tiny portion to make my features look a bit more pleasing but I don't reshape.

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Do most younger men groom eyebrows these days?

I stopped needing regular haircuts almost a decade ago

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I stopped needing regular haircuts almost a decade ago

What does this mean? Did your hair stop growing or did you just adopt a job/lifestyle where you don't care how long or uneven it is?

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I stopped growing hair and now I shave my head.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Shaving your head is technically a haircut.

Gotcha. Also, I didn't answer your question. Yes, I groom my eyebrows. If I didn't they'd grow into a single overly bushy unibrow.

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Makes sense. Outside of people who get unibrows, it really would not have been typical for guys to do eyebrow maintenance when I was growing up. Not sure if that's changed now...younger guys seem more into fashion and grooming these days in general.

[–] seralth@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Iv been blessed with perfect eyebrows. Never had to groom them, they don't get busy, or become a unibrow.

I never thought much about it till I got a job that had a girl obsessed with make up. She got really pissy over my perfect eye brows cause she had a bad unibrow problem.

Since then iv come to find most people iv asked say I have weirdly perfect eyebrows.

Only good part of my face really. So we take the wins where we can get them!

I am almost 70. If anybody goes near my eyebrows, there will be trouble. It’s silly, kinda. When I was a wee lad I heard the stories of Hercules and him losing strength when his hair was cut. Through the decades I had to conform at times (hair and beard) but I never cut my eyebrows, my perceived strength hidden away in them. They are now very bushy and like to grow everywhere. I love it.

[–] cattywampas@midwest.social 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My barber trims up my eyebrows every time I get a haircut.

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Mine, too, and when he doesn't I ask him to do it. Literally shaves ten years off my face.

[–] MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Daily shave? No, I'm a man, I have a big fucking bushy beard. Shaving would get me thrown out of the tacticalbeardownersclub. 🧔‍♀️

[–] Iapetus@slrpnk.net 11 points 3 days ago (3 children)

What's tactical about your beard? Are you hiding a swiss army chin full of knives or something?

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

For a lot of large beard guys, it’s their entire personality

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Sir I have spent over 200 dollars on various pretentious oils. Allow me to simulate a personality. I have literally paid the fee.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

as a woman I probably would too, id love to look like one of the dwarves from deep rock galactic lol

always speaking like I'm drunk and pissed and carry around a pickaxe

any time I see gold I just have to scream at it for 30 minutes

It camouflages my multiple chins.

I was going to say, if we’re talking old man we’ll need to flip the green circles.

[–] DrunkAnRoot@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

i dont cut my hair or beard im going for that crazy mountain man that eats raw racoon look yk

[–] AstaKask@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 days ago

Gf is on eyebrow duty because she enjoys plucking those extra thick long ones out. Otherwise I'd do it myself. Although there will come a time when I just let em go wild and embrace the old man look.

[–] Object@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

You guys don't get monobrows? Lucky.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

once when I was like 7 I took scissors to my eyelashes because one got in my eyeball

(sidenote why is scissors spelled like that?? what's wrong with 'sizzers', it looks like a much more badass word than science sores)

[–] sCrUM_MASTER@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

I don't cut my hair (hate it being touched by other people), pluck my eyebrows every week or so to prevent a unibrow, and shave my face once or twice a week (when I have something on or going into the office). My hairline is fine for now but as I get older I'll probably end up shaving it all off and going bald

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 days ago

Eyebrows are the secret source of my power.
