really good tweezers recommendation? (blonde, wax, salon, Sally)

[catfancier]

hi --

i seem to have lost my "good" tweezers, which I had for so long I don't even remember what they were.

I prefer a sharp or slant tip -- whatever is not going to take my skin along with an eyebrow hair!

I'm willing to pay up to $20 for something really good...recommendations?
And where to buy too!

Honestly I love revlon scissor ones. You need to buy a new pair every year or two, but the tips are angled and softened just enough so you dont accidently grab skin.
I HATE tweezerman. That brand is a skin grabber. Good for splinters..but not my eyebrows. Some people swear by them. Especially blondes with finer hair. (just noticed that and guessing its the finer hair reason)

I had a really good one from a friend of mine who did waxing/electrolysis. Had it for years and not sure the name of it. I lost it a couple of years ago and was devastated. I finally got another good one from ULTA. It is their professional line and it works great.

thanks, ladies. Readytomove, where does one buy Ulta? I'm not familiar with the name...that's a brand and not an actual store, right?

I was looking at Tweezerman -- I think I saw one on sale at Sally Beauty -- but I couldn't remember if I had liked it either!

ULTA is an actual store, they also have on line ordering. try Ulta.com - Cosmetics, Fragrance, Salon and Beauty Gifts

I like tweezerman. The slant tip seems to work well on my thicker hair, I have a pointed tip one that I use for fine hairs ( I grab them with the edge, sideways, not with the point) and ingrown hairs. I like them and I have a couple of pairs. My previous tweezerman's lasted for several years.

revlon makes a black coated pair of tweezers. with a slant tip. the best. go for about 7 or 8 bucks.

i stole them from my niece.

they take care of my uni brow quite well.

I just buy the Revlon slant tips---after a while, I run an emory board between the blades, and, voila--good as new! I have tweezers all over the house!

Same here. I'm obsessed with tweezing hair all over my body that is unwanted I keep a pair everywhere, but also lose them constantly! I always go for the cheap revlon w/ no slant. Look closely before you purchase to make sure they close completely w/ no gaps... some aren't made well and won't grab a thing! But I have great luck w/ most!

Revlon all the way! Thats what I always use! Not too expensive either.
