First Time Getting Eyebrows Waxed.?

I want to get my eyebrows waxed because I have senior pictures on Thursday. I want to know how bad is the pain on a scale from 1-10. I also want to know how long my skin will be red because this will be my first time waxing.

    Okay so! I totally know how you feel, I needed to get my eyebrows waxed for so long and finally manned up and got them done for the first time a couple of weeks ago...so I remember exactly what it felt like as a newbie lol :)

    The pain doesn't hurt too badly. It's quick. On a scale of 1-10...a 4/5. I'm telling you, it's really not bad...the only thing that is bad is the anticipation of it. While you feel them putting the hot wax on, your nerves may kick in a bit because you know you're about to feel a little pain, but I'm telling you...waiting for the rip is the worst part. The actual rip of the waxed tape isn't bad at all. It may make your eyes water a bit, but it's nothing unbearable...trust me.

    Your skin will be red for a couple of hours at the most.

    Trust me, it's not too bad at all! And so worth it...my eyebrows look great now and yours will too :)

    It stings for about three or four seconds on each piece waxed. But it isnt as bad as it sounds. The redness only takes a few hours to go away. I know Sylvia, the lady I go to puts witch hazel over my eyebrows and parts of it she waxed to help with the redness and cool the little leftover sting. (but I promise it isnt that bad) When I first went she gave me a stress ball, maybe you should take one with you. Also, the more you go the more you get used to it.

    on a scale of one to ten,

    Its not even a five.

    The pain is probably like a 5. It only hurts for like less than a minute. The redness goes away within less than 30 minutes.

    It feels like a bandaid getting ripped off, the redness last about an hour at the least

    its a quick process. id say 2, you'll jump from the anxiousness but you think it hurts more than it does. your skin will be pink for about an hour and it will go down by the next day it will be completely gone

    It doesn't hurt it more stings. That feeling will stay for like ten minutes or so. My eyebrows didn't really get pink but when my sister had hers done it stayed pink for a few days. I guess it varies.
