I just finished writing my first ever bad salon review experience. I wont name them but felt I should have got an apology. Didn't happen. Anyway I have one eye brow shorter than the other eye brow I tried plucking them straight . Any tips on how I can try and elongate them to try and make them look normal . TIA

Ah no, that's horrible. Personally I would get a professional to fix it because I don't trust my own skills or therefore lack of. But if you're trying to shorten the other brow I would have thought tweezing or waxing it would work.

No advice that will help much- probably best to just fill in the missing bit a little, but I definitely feel for you- it always seems to happen to me getting dodgy eyebrow waxes or threading! I'm just letting them go natural until they grow back yet again and then I might just pluck them tidy my self.

Nothing worse than having one eyebrow shorter than the other!  I've had that happen before and I just filled them in and elongated the shorter one with eyebrow pencil or eyeshadow until the hair grew back.  It was rather annoying but it was only for a few weeks.

Oh no, thats awful macs.  If you feel up to it, give them a ring to let them know. I hate negative confrontation but you're unhappy so they need to know!
do you have any eyebrow products to fill them in for now? I recommend the L'Oréal brow plumper to keep everything in place. I went for a walk in the rain a couple of weeks ago, my brows didn't move at all!

You need to give them an opportunity to rectify the situation Macs

You're probably best to just use a brow product to fill the shorter eyebrow in until it grows back. I'd recommend using a pencil or a tinted wax applied with a thin angled eye brush - it's much easier to create the appearance of hair with one of those rather than with a gel or mascara.

Thats awful Macs. I feel for you. I find that eyebrow wax and pencil rectify any mistakes until your natural hair grows back.

Not good, Macs. Definitely agree with trying to fill in the shorter brow until it grows, rather than pluck the longer one to match.

I know exactly how you feel Macs. Having had an awful experience at one of Aucklands top Hairdresser Salons myself. All I wanted was a genuine apology and proper recompense for their mistakes. I gave the salon every opportunity to remedy the situation and even went to the head office. NOTHING was ever done except a very pathetic non genuine oops sorry about that comment.
I hope  you can find another eyebrow salon that you feel comfortable in and will have a positive experience the next time.

There's not much chance they will be able to fix a shorter eyebrow. Macs I'm sure it was not so obvious that people were laughing at you. Hopefully you van fill them in until they grow back.
