tweezing
Pulling with pincers
Tweezing is the act of plucking hairs or removing small objects with tweezers—small pincer-like tools that grip when squeezed.
Most commonly refers to shaping eyebrows or removing unwanted facial hair: She spent twenty minutes tweezing her eyebrows.
The method offers precision but requires patience for larger areas.
