More Men Heading To Salon To Maintain 'Guybrows'

Today in eye-opening beauty articles: the New York Times reports that more men are hitting the salon to deal with their "guybrows." All the cool kids are doing it -- including Ryan Seacrest and David Beckham (you know Victoria runs a tight ship). And for those dudes who are scared to be seen in public participating in such an-arguably girly activity, the likes of Remington and Tweezerman have come up with lines of products suitable for the hirsute him.

Even Eyebrowz.com has noticed an increase in male sales. Yes, Eyebrowz.com. The Times writes:

When Eyebrowz.com, which sells eyebrow accouterments, started 14 years ago, a man placing an order "would be a big topic of conversation" around its office in Sumas, Wash., said Nancy Parker, a founder of the company. Today men account for about 20 percent of buyers, ordering items like the Men's Deluxe Eyebrow Grooming Kit ($47.15), which includes small brow razors, scissors, clear brow styling gel, and stencils modeled after eyebrow shapes of celebrities like Tom Cruise, Sean Connery and Denzel Washington.

Still, Ms. Parker said: "We get a lot of women phoning in for men. Their big thing is, 'My husband's eyebrows are a total mess, and I think it's affecting his career, and he needs to get this fixed.'"

What do you think of the whole thing?

If you have Trumpbrow then do a little manscaping...along with nose and ear hair, but men don't all need to look like Greta Garbo.

Yes, but only if they look like man eyebrows. Too many guys these days overdo and end up with girly eyebrows.

I use a mustache/nose/ear trimmer to tidy my brows. The whole thing is about the size of a pen and cost $8.

Mostly i just have to keep getting rid of the uni. I don't think anyone would fault me for that.

Excessive concern with one's appearance by a man is undignified. It reflects a preoccupation with the superficial and less concern for the content of character. My eyebrows are a bit bushy and I earned them by living long and growing them and my silver hair. You don't like it, kiss my grits.

That may be, but what if the ladies are not interested in kissing any part of you? I'm getting my eyebrows tweeked.

I'm Gay and I don't even do this. I HATE manicured eyebrows on a man! It is extremely unattractive. Sure brush them or generally groom them, but don't look like some plucked-to-death, drawn on the face socialite in upper Manhattan.

Keep natural :-)

Some guys have thicker hair than others, and it can get curly and messy. There's a happy medium there somewhere between being neat, and being overly plucked. Unless it's totally out of control, I don't really notice. But I ALWAYS notice hair coming out of the nose. B l e c h

See your point. This reminds me of Xerxes in the film 300. The brows were over-manicured.

If you have a unibrow I would definitely suggest plucking them BUT please guys, do not touch the rest of your brows, get rid of the middle leave the rest alone. Guys look ridiculous with pronounced arches

[VerizonCells]

09:40 PM on 03/10/2011

what about the ones that go rogue and grow real long, its ok to pull the crazy ones.

[Demarcus Jackson]

I personally think unibrows are cute on a guy :-)
