Is it a sin for women to shave, pluck or otherwise
 
remove body hair? Including eyebrows and facial hair like mustaches, underarm, legs???

To me, if some UCs like OP2 are consistent with their arguments, they would have to say yes

I touch up the brows. Nobody wants a caterpillar (sp) across their face. I trim under the arms, nobody wants a monkey in a head-lock. I shave the top of my feet, keeps my shoes from expiring. I... o.O

Yeah. I'm like a wolfman. Shaving the top, feet sweat less... prevents odor.

I don't think the verse used to support uncut hair could be construed to apply to other body parts.

I used to know some preachers who taught that.

Me too. Some of the ladies in the church where I was born and raised did not shave their legs.

Growing up, we could shave our legs, but not pluck our eyebrows. Women who would get into church after having plucked their eyebrows for years would have to stop. It looked really awful most of the time, because brows don't usually grow back in normally. :(
