And nostrils. My life is regret.

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

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

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

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

Clearly a candidate for sainthood.

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.

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

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

Do most younger men groom eyebrows these days?

I stopped needing regular haircuts almost a decade ago

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks 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 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I stopped growing hair and now I shave my head.

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

Shaving your head is technically a haircut.

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Perhaps, but in my mind a haircut is a service you pay for. You go somewhere for a haircut, you cut your hair at home.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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 weeks 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.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Outside of people who get unibrows, it really would not have been typical for guys to do eyebrow maintenance when I was growing up.

It wasn't for me either growing up, but good grooming has many benefits both personally and professionally. I look back on some old pictures wish I did more earlier.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

I stopped needing regular haircuts when I turned 18 and didn't have to get my head buzz cut like my mom wanted anymore.

[–] cattywampas@midwest.social 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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 3 points 3 weeks 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Eyebrows are the secret source of my power.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

My entire body except for my crotch is in the red circle. And my eyebrows? Sometimes I like to brush them up so they look even more bushy

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

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 4 points 3 weeks 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.

...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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

My wife does my eyebrows every now and then.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I pretty much shampoo my whole head
