Wow...looking back on all my reviews, you would think I am a very unfortunate looking individual, haha...well, my mom took me and my sister to get Electrolysis when we were 24 (six years ago now) due to inheriting her upper lip hair (thanks, mom!).
We got a dentist to numb us, so it was pain free on the upper lip, but we had a little extra time, so she did some of the stray hairs under my eyebrows, and man, you feel it. While I was able to tolerate the pain, it hurt enough to make me cry involuntarily. You know what I mean, how sometimes when you mess with that area, like plucking or whatever, you get a little tear in your eye? Well, the tears were aflowin.
It was totally worth the minor discomfort though. I still have to pluck my eyebrows (we were conservative), but its not the unruly mess it used to be.

Hello 9438,
Oh my goodness, to not have to deal with my eyebrows and have them waxed all the time I would do what you did in a heart beat. :) Will your mom take me LOL! You said you had a dentist numb you? Was that before the procedure and than you went somewhere else? Glad everything worked out so well. Pleas keep us updated.
Thanks so much for the review,
-Britt
Hmm, I didn't know that dentists will just numb you. That's good to know especially the part about the difference in the numbings.
