Surreal Experience

[Judith96a]

OK, here's the deal - I'm in the closet. My wife doesn't know about my cross dressing (either that or she's not letting on).
A couple of days ago I went to get my hair cut (same hairdresser that my wife uses - lovely girl). I'm sitting there daydreaming about Judith's next opportunity to get all dressed up - mostly thinking about what to try to improve in my makeup routine and how to approximate to a more feminine eyebrow without doing anything too drastic - when the hairdresser asks "would you like me to trim your eyebrows?"!!! Guess who nearly fell off the chair (she's never suggested eyebrow trimming before and they weren't too hairy-caterpillar-like). "Err em OK" says me after I recovered. Nothing too drastic done, just a tidy but... Darling wife clams NOT to have put hairdresser up to it but I'm not convinced! Little did she know what I was thinking about!

Still feels rather surreal

I think you're reading too much into this. Hair dressers routinely trim male brows. Its likely she just got around to asking.

My old barber, I now do my own hair, always asked if I wanted my brows trimmed and not just me, he asked every customer. Maybe the hairdresser has just been a little ship-shod in the past, realized it, and is trying to improve her customer service.

I have been asked a couple of times at my barber shop. A couple of times I have not been asked and they trimmed away. And my brows already lean to the femme side. It only happened to me in the last couple of years.

Agree wishfull thinking.....they are based on services sales.

Part that bothers me

My wife doesn't know about my cross dressing (either that or she's not letting on).

:brolleyes:

[Kate Simmons]

My GF always asks me that when she cuts my hair and so do most barbers, hair dressers, etc. :)

As you get older I have many barbers ask me if I want my eye brows trimmed. They never pluck them but just lay a comb on them and cut.

[Tina B.]

I had mine brows trimmed in a shop for the first time when I switched from a barber to a hair dresser.

[Donna St. Marten]

Welcome to being middle aged. As men get older hair starts growing widly everyplace, except on our head. I wouldn't read anything into it about your wife putting her up to it.

[Jodi]

I get my eyebrows trimmed with each haircut, have done so for as long as I can remember. That is just part of good grooming.

I agree with most of the replys. When I passed 40 barbers began asking if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed. Now my wife cuts my hair (at least what's left of it) and always trims the eyebrows and ears. I wouldn't read too much into it if I were you.

As a man I always get my eyebrows trimmed and they are not excessive either.

[Sarah Doepner]

Yes, don't worry about that. It's when they start asking if you want your ear or nose hairs trimmed that you need to be paying attention.

[KayleeTaylor]

When I used to get my hair cut, they would always trim my ear and nose hairs, I never got asked if i want my eyebrows done. Maybe I need to go to a salon :)

[Seana Summer]

Wow, this is the first I have heard of a stylist asking to trim male eyebrows. I have to trim my own random hairs.

I don't blame you for being surprised by it, I know I would be.

[Stephy]

Yes, don't worry about that. It's when they start asking if you want your ear or nose hairs trimmed that you need to be paying attention.

Yeah, my hairdresser always asks if I want my ear hair trimmed! Despite the fact that I trim it myself regularly. The stuff grows like weeds when you reach your mid-thirties.

[Tammy Nowakowski]

i had mine waxed two weekends ago for the 1st time

[Linda E. Woodworth]

Although I agree that you shouldn't read too much in to this, I have never been asked by any of my barbers if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed.

I guess I'm just not lucky enough like all the other girls who've experienced this.

[Judith96a]

Yes, don't worry about that. It's when they start asking if you want your ear or nose hairs trimmed that you need to be paying attention.

I'm not worried, just the timing (the coincidence of where my thoughts were at that moment) that was surreal! As for the ear hairs, she already just trims those without a word! The joys of middle age!
