It takes six months to get hairs to grow back, she warns.

Another one of Vucetajs brow commandments?

No creams, no lotions, nothing around the brows, she says.

Waxing stretches the skin, she says.

Vucetaj has owned her tweezer-only brow bar since 2011.

With tweezing, its one hair at a time, as it’s possible for you to see.

So you could actually mold the shape and sculpt it as needed.

And when its one hair at a time, the chances of it going too far is very minimal.

Its really important that you dont separate this too much.

The arch should always be three-fourths of the way back.

you might always lift the skin to recognize where your natural arch shape is, Vucetaj recommends.

you’re free to also judge how many hairs you should remove in relation to your eyes.

If you have a lot of space, you want to keep the brows a little fuller.

If you have very little space, you want to go higher to open up the eyes.

Instead of asking yourself, Where is my arch?

or How do I find my shape?

this can help answer your own questions.

That could be a rabbit hole of people asking How do I know?

You know what youre looking for.

Pencil how you normally would pencil your eyebrows or where you think you want your brows to be.

double-check that you pencil them in so that you control what youre doing and you dont go overboard.

Focus on balance and be careful with the edges of your brows, says Vucetaj.

Do one hair at a time.

Alternate tweezing hairs from one side to the other side, little by little.

Few hairs here, a few hairs here, that way they keep up at the same pace.

FYI: Thereisa right and wrong way to tweeze.

Again, were not tweezing too much, Vucetaj reiterates.

If you miss a hair, its fine.

You just want to make them look neat, but not perfect.

I dont believe in a perfectly sculpted brow.

The proper way to trim is upwards at an angle.

These steps are a good way to protect yourself from going too far, and keeping them natural looking.
