eyebrow waxing in Italy
 
I guess this post is more directed at the female members of this board as it is in terms of beauty treatments.

I have been to Italy many times but this summer I will be there for the entire summer and I'm one of those girls who is not into plucking her eyebrows, I prefer waxing. Has anyone ever had an eyebrow wax done in Italy, and did it turn out okay? Sorry if I'm coming off as superficial, but I have been getting my eyebrows done by the same lady for years and really dont like to let anyone mess with them because eyebrows can be a tricky thing and someone could mess them up.

Usually when I'm in Italy I'm only there for two week stays at a time so I only have to do a little bit of plucking on my own, which is no problem. But two months is a long time.Any feedback from those of you who have waxing done there is appreciated. Thanks.

I haven't had them done in Italy, but you could pack some of those wax strips by Sally Hansen or a similar product. They travel well and are easy to use.

I got what I thought was going to be an eyebrow wax on Ischia two summers ago but turned out to be the threading technique. I was a bit worried but it turned out pretty good. Last summer I got an eyebrow wax at a local salon in Positano and it was not great, also I've found that I never get pedicures/manicures that are as good as in the US and I've tried several places. Maybe it's just bad luck. Even if your eyebrow wax is not perfect though, it always grows back. Good luck.
