Just be carefull!
Remember less is more.
Just tidy and tame them, don't shape them. Let him keep looking like a man and not a drag queen!
No high arches!!!

Some men like to have them shaped, you can shape without looking too effeminate.
I would take any hair that's growing in places it shouldn't be. Then shape very subtlety. Then get scissors and cut off any curly or unruly hairs.
You can give him a mirror throughout the treatment so he can keep check if he's worried lol.
Men's brows can be quite stubborn so make sure you get a good adhesion with wax strip and wax on hair. Nice firm rub. You may need to do some tweezering. Of course you may use non strip instead.
I have several male clients. Some like arches some dont,it's all down to the individual.

I agree with what the others have said...
I prefer to use non strip wax and I can control the wax more and get see what im doing.
I did my brow training with Kim and learnt to wax and shape a range of male brows to suit clients from the burly builders to the drag queen!!..lol..
Most of my clients prefer a tidy up on the monobrow without too much definition!!
Just take your time with him and he will be fine

I lipped my brows dan to a grade 1 or they look too Dennis Healey and then get them waxed.
Best training for brows I had was a YouTube video by Lori Nestore (The Wax Queen in the USA) called 5 lines of brow waxing or something similar. Each and every brow can be waxed with five lines of wax. Also you cannot change the shape of a brow ... They are always the perfect shape for that person.
Also as a good friend said they should be brothers (for men) or sisters (for girls) and not twins. The face is not symmetrical and therefore brows shouldn't be because the will look wrong.

Im not sure what you mean, but I can change the shape of a brow and have done for a few clients.

Yes, but we don't want to them to look like distant relatives do we Fozzyo
. Sorry to correct you but you can indeed change the shape of any brow and if you didn't, it would just simply be a brow tidy. A brow tidy is maintenance once you have shaped the brow.Have a look at my Mens Brow demo. Hope this helps a little.

I think Mat means the brow line, ie the eyebrow sits around the eye socket. This is the natural shape a brow will take - if you try to take the eyebrow away from this natural line its going to look wrong. Shaping can be done but you cant change the way someones face is made ;-)
There are so many different types & styles of eyebrow waxing & many great tutorials from many fabulous educators using many different types of wax. Theyre all relevant & useful to watch for ideas.
Jmho!

You can't make a straight brow arched, and you can't make an arched one straight. Nature designed peoples faces with the perfect brows to match their face ... despite what their owners may think.
Here you go, found the link to the video.

This actually comes from a post someone made on Lori's forum and she then interpreted into this video.

Usually, just giving them a trim can make a huge difference. Try a trim first and then you can usually see where you need to wax.
A tidy above the brows is a good place to start

When shaping a mans brow, always leave random hairs so that he doesn't end up looking like Pricilla Queen of the Desert. Keep them angular.
In response to a couple of comments above. No you can't change the shape of someones face, but you can give the illusion of changing someone's face by changing the brow shape. You can create an arch; trust me! I'm your arch enemy
There is a big difference between just tidying someone's brows and brow design.

Obviously you have to work with what you have but that doesn't mean you can't change the shape.
A tint and a shape can make all the difference.
I will post a pic below.
As you can see, she has quite shapeless straight brows before whereas after she has a well defined arch. Completely changed her brow shape!
