I got an eyebrow pencil that has tweezers on one end but really they don't work that well. After squeezing them a while they just stay almost closed. I need a recommendation of some that work well and are springy. I saw some Betsy Johnson ones but, seriously, twenty bucks for tweezers?

“Danger, Will Robinson!” I'm not liking what I'm seeing, so I'm going to have my eyebrows done first thing tomorrow. Ugh.

I bought some Henkel's and they are very good. Failing that whatever new brand House of Knives carries. They aren't cheap but they are good!

The Tweezerman range is excellent. No idea if it is available in the US.

I can't say enough about Tweezerman. I balked for years about spending $20 on tweezers. I've had some for about 3 years now and will never own any others. Totally worth it!

Tweezerman!! Love mine. They used to have them at Bed Bath and Beyond. Wait for a coupon or sign up for the text ones. It is usually 20% off.

I love my Tweezerman tweezers. If I lost mine I would replace them the same day, they are that important to me!

Was also coming to say Tweezerman. Angled tweezers are much easier than rounded or pointed tweezers.

I just googled Tweezerman and I have some that I got at Christmas from Sally's for WAAAAAYYYYY less than $20 and they look JUST like that. I love them! They don't have a name on them, but they were like $3-5 (I'm cheap).

Tweezerman, accept no substitutes! Cheap ones that "look" the same, aren't. They won't last as long and they just aren't as good. They don't align the same or have as good a grip.
I've been through more pairs of tweezers than anyone should have to admit to until I finally found my Tweezerman tweezers. I've had them at least 3 years, maybe more. I got mine at Ulta but they sell them other places.

I've found good tweezers at Walgreens, but my favourite Tweezermans were splurges from Sephora. They have a ton of different tweezers and tools with many price points because they have their house brand, Tweezermans and other brands.
I have tweezers with tiny "legs" that are both flat on the ends--great for picking out splinters and tiny close up work. For grooming my eyebrows, I love the angled Tweezermans. They have a great grip that pulls the hairs out without much pain. Cheaper tweezers can miss the hairs because they're not as heavy or springy.
$20 might sound like a lot upfront, but good tweezers will be used all the time for YEARS. My pair is almost 15 years old.

The Tweezerman range is excellent. No idea if it is available in the US. I use these too - paid about £15 I think, but it's been worth it. (Also, it makes me more likely to keep hold of them instead of lose them somewhere!) |

Tweezerman will also re-sharpened them for you for free if you send them in. I have two pairs so when I do have a pair sharpened, I have a spare at home
