Tweezerman?
Permalink Closed


Anyone have the Tweezerman tweezers? Are they worth it? I have a credit at Sephora that I'd use, but I just can't decide if they're worth $20. I have Revlon ones now, and they're OK. I don't have huge brows, so I just get them waxed every 2-3 months and then tweeze in between. I'm just curious if there's a huge difference for the extra $15 or so.

I have them and I love them. I have had them for a few years and they are still sharp and precise. If they do go dull Tweezerman will sharpen them for free. (how much tweezing would cause that to happen? )


I had the cheaper type and never really thought about it till I bought these. They just work so much better, kinda like a She Uemera eye lash curler vs. a cheaper one. Suddenly it makes all the difference in the world.

Yes, yes, yes. I was just like you, HB, and then I bought some...and they are amazing. So far beyond any other tweezers I have ever owned. I would highly recommend them.

They are absolutely worth it.  I have the petite travel kit (I don't know what the official name is), and it has two pair--one is pointy and one is slant tip.  I left the slant tips at my parent's house and had to buy some revlon ones, and it made me appreciate the tweezerman pair so much more.


So pay the 20 bucks, just make sure you keep up with them!

See, maybe it's just me, but I didn't think they were worth it.  I prefer pointy tip tweezers and the slant tip ones that everyone raves about didn't do it for me.  I have some Revlon pointy tip ones that I use way more because they give me more precision that the slant tip Tweezerman.  Again, maybe this is just a personal preference or maybe I should have bought the pointy tip Tweezerman (if they are such a thing) but I just didn't think they were all that and a bag of chips.

I recently got a pair, AND I LOOOOVE THEM!!!! I am allergic to something in the wax we use, so I have to tweeze,and these are so great.They can get those tiny little hairs that you just can't quite seem to get with other tweezers,and the grip is extremley close and tight.


Plus, they come in pink!

Ditto. I am also allergic to wax so I decided to splurge on a pair and I LOVE them. Best thing to ever happen to my eyebrows.

Love them! Once again, they're the only ones my mom uses in the salon. I've had mine for 2 or 3 years and they're still going strong!

I have several pairs, and I love them/cannot live without them. I lost them once and immediately went out and purchased 2 more pairs so that never happened to me again. I definitely think they are worth it.

I used to like them until I tried a pair by Bobbi Brown.  They're manufactured by Rubis & are simply amazing.  They're slanted as well, but they're able to pull the slightest regrowth w/out pinching the skin.  I know you can't use your Sephora credit to get the BB tweezers, but they really are worth it.

I love my Tweezerman tweezers.  They're the BEST!  I've had them since my senior year of high school (1998) and they're still awesome.  I dropped them once and nicked the edge, so I sent it off to Tweezerman to have them resharpened, which they did for free, and I had them back within a week.  They're wonderful.

I have to agree also... I LOVE my Tweezerman tweezers! Also, just a little FYI (if you want to save your Sephora credit for something else) ..they sell these tweezers @ Bed, Bath and Beyond, which is where I got mine. They are FOREVER sending out 20% off coupons in the mail, as well as in the newspaper..so this is a nice little alternative if you want to save a little and spend the Sephora credit on something else fun


 


HTH!

I bought the Revlon ones in a pinch when I thought I lost my Tweezerman ones and I can honestly tell you Revlons tweezers can't hold a candle to the Tweezerman tweezers.  The tweezerman ones are much better at getting the little hairs.  Also, tweezerman does make pointy ones that are really good too.  I did find my Tweezerman's and have owned them for at least six years.

well, I am one of those who doesn't wax and who tweezes almost every day with the daily make-up routine and yes, Tweezerman's are worth it.  They are incomparable to Revlon's.

I used Revlon ones for years, and then when I had a little money, bought both the pointed and slant tip Tweezerman tweezers.


There is no comparison! Tweezerman is the best, and I'll never use another.

You guys have convinced me. I will give them a try -- Sephora has a great return policy anyway. Does anyone know if the pink ones are any different/worse than the plain silver ones?
