Oy vey! Yeah they grow back. I think it takes a month or two and unfortunatly it grows quicker in the summer. I'm not a waxer but do pluck my eye brows. That is an option but I would think some people here would be more sensitive. I had mine waxed at the salon though and it does last longer and really gave me a nice shape. I worked at a salon so got a lot of free stuff done. You could get a pair of fake ones till they grow back. I'm not sure though if they look weird. I'm glad it was just your lashes though and didn't get in your eye.Take care.
