I hadn't gotten my eyebrows done in a long time because I had just moved to Los Angeles and was nervous about trying a new place. I'm so glad I finally did! The salon was clean, and the service was fast, no long wait times at all. The lady who took care of me did an amazing job with my eyebrows; the shape came out perfect. I'll definitely be coming back for my regular appointments now that I've found my go-to spot! read more

When I first got my eyebrows done by them I thought they were pretty good. But after a few days I noticed something odd, half of my eyebrow was gone. The lady put lamination gel and was trying to sell it to me and their subscription. Not knowing that half of eyebrow was gone. read more

Brow Arc - Half of my under eyebrow gone - Waxing Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Wrote a good review for this place only to come back a few visits later and be VERY DISAPPOINTED. ***LONG REVIEW BUT I PROMISE ITS WORTH THE READ.*** I go in for brow waxing, sometimes upper lip. Threading hurts but I get waxed here since we're told nail salons aren't fully licensed to do waxing at all. Which they've messed up my brows multiple times so I stopped going there and eventually found my spot here at this location. Anyways, after waxing most of my brow they always ask if they can thread just a little bit, which I've always said that's fine as long as it's not mostly threaded and instead waxed like I asked. Well, this day (Saturday 9/21/24) which was yesterday, I go in and end up seeing the wax artist I would go to in the first place (last year) but hardly saw again. I was told it's because she only works Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and I was always going throughout the weekday or Sundays; she's the older short light skin lady, could be the manager or not. So of course after waxing she asks to thread a little, and since everyone else has done it without trouble I figured this time wouldn't hurt. But as she got to the eye lid, I felt a pinch a few times in a row. It stung but not like a normal thread should but I thought maybe I'm just sensitive this session. Thinking back on it now, she put A LOT of gel after she finished which I thought was weird but just brushed it off. Come to find out it was her hiding the fact that I was bleeding since she nicked me multiple times but didn't say anything. I even flinched multiple times and she never said sorry or anything at all. The service finished and I checked the mirror to see it was alright looking which it was decent (I saw some hairs below my brow but just wanted to be done with it) and said it's good. But obviously wasn't bleeding because she JUST wiped it again before I sat up to check it. I paid and walked out. Went across the way to that clothing store literally right after and when I looked at my sister she told me I was bleeding. I used the clothings stores full body mirror to see that I was, pretty bad too. So we walk right back over to Brow Arc and I show her and she says "do you always have sensitive skin?" I said "Yes but I've never had this happen before. Is there something you can do?" She offered me more cooling gel and that was it. I didn't want to pry more so we just left. We walked to the food court and sat down and I had my sister take photos while it was still "fresh" (see photos below). It wasn't until I got home that it started to sting even more, so since yesterday I've been using cooling gel when it acts up and it's slowly getting better. In my 14 years of getting my brows waxed and/or threaded from MULTIPLE artists and locations I have NEVER had this happen before because of "sensitive skin" like she suggested. I paid for a service that actually injured me that an artist lied about thinking I wouldn't notice. That also didn't help or offer partial refund, and she was even tipped for it too. I really wanted to love this place but not everything is always best for you. Unfortunately, I will NOT be returning to this place and I hope people take this review into consideration as well. read more

DO NOT COME HERE. Absolutely terrible ruined my eyebrows two times now on special occasions. I have left there crying now I have gone maybe 4 times since the last time they ruined my eyebrows I should have known better. I shouldn't have to pay for leaving there way worse then with my grown out eyebrows. read more

Do not recommend! I decided to try this place out and get my eyebrows threaded. First and last time here. I've been getting my eyebrows threaded for about 10 years now and know that there's always a bit of a pull and pain but it hurt pretty badly. When I was done I noticed that they were redder than normal but didn't think twice of it. When I got home I saw that skin had been pulled off and cut at different spots! Over the next few days I had tiny scabs under and above both eyebrows. Never experienced this before. Also want to point out that I've always been lucky to have naturally full eyebrows but not overly thick by any means. I'be always asked for the shape to be kept the same and just cleaned up. The girl who did mine didn't even listen and made them so thin and sharp! I was so upset I hope they grown back the same. Supper disappointed and will not be back. read more

Horrible !! I naturally have thick eyebrows and came in specifically asking to maintain them thick just a clean up. The lady ended up not only making them extremely thin my uneven. Then she argued that they were fine. read more

Brow Arc - Uneven eyebrows - Waxing Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I've been getting my eyebrows threaded here for years now and I love it. Rani does an excellent job and makes my crazy and naturally uneven brows look fantastic. The service is quick and easy and the price is great! read more

Just got my upper lip and brow done here and as always had a great experience ! Fast , friendly and they really know what they are doing . My threading expert Rani was awesome ! I have gone to other threading salons and it is not the same quality end result . Will come again for my threading needs . Thank you :) read more

Good customer service the wait wasn't long and the outcome was good the people there were very friendly and the salon was very clean prices were reasonable read more

I personally have always had a great experience at Brow Arc. I have visited 2 other locations and Tacoma is my favorite. I trust the ladies that work here because they have consistently given my brows clean and natural looks. I don't have to worry they will thread too much or mess up my shape. My brows have been through some different experiences and they are the best they are now because of Brow Arc! I always get compliments and I really count on my brows being done correctly because I don't really wear makeup and value my brows haha. read more

Walked in with full eyebrows, walked out with half of one missing! Cut my lower chin as well, definitely do NOT recommend. Horrible. read more

if i could give this place no stars i would. I walked in with my brows already filled in so you would think she would clean them and into the shape they were in, well to my surprise i walked out with two different shaped brows. Let me just save you some time and advise you to skip the Brow Arc and head straight to Sephora or Macys and have one of the Benebabes get your right. a $41 service for brows that look like my 3 year old nephew took a sharpie and drew them on. read more

Brow Arc - cuts - Waxing Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

The Tacoma location for Brow Arc is TERRIBLE. The two women that primarily work evenings are rude and uncaring. They rush through the process so quickly that you are unable to even say a word in protest. My skin ends up bright red and painful for three days after going to this salon. The membership is not worth it and is pushed upon every person that comes in. Yesterday I asked them to do my chin (just the chin) and she started on my lip (charged me for the lip) and when I protested, she said "you have hair". She stopped doing the lip and left it half done, then went onto the hcin. When my eyes started watering because of the chin was being rubbed raw from the thread, she told me that "it stings a little". The process shouldn't be extremely painful (and still red/swollen 24 hours later) if the person doing the threading does a good job! I am disgusted with the work that this shop does and I will not be returning (throwing away that membership, I only used twice!). read more

J.D (Preeti) is the best! She's done by brows the past few times I've been in & she is super sweet & always does such a good job! I definitely will be back to see her. read more

This lady didn't even ask how I wanted my eyebrows shaped or threaded. She just starts... she says she's done in 2 minutes... and I look and she messed it up BIG TIME. My eyebrows are CROOKED NOW! She said that my eyebrows are NATURALLY crooked. Girl, I'm 26 years old and I have been seeing my eyebrows for a heck of a lot longer that she has (2 minutes FYI)... now how am I going to fix this? And when I say crooked, I mean horizontally one's higher than the other... By the way, I don't wear make up so... I'm screwed. Never coming back here. Thanks... read more

Had a 3 time membership. Last two times I've been there they messed up my eyebrows. How is it that you're lazy in giving people excellent service. You have the potential to make $100+ a hour if you gave A dam. I will not attempt to go to this place. Like others say, there are far few good people here. Don't go!! read more

Although I explained to the stylist what I want and that I didn't want my eyebrows to be thin, she still made them very thin with very bad shape and not cleaned well. Please chose employees understand English at least!!!! Never come back again . read more

I went to get an eyebrow tint in the store the lady took one look at me and told me no it wouldn't work because of my skin it wouldn't show up. I was confused this was my 1st time however I saw YouTube videos and wanted to try it. The lady tried to explain but the language barrier couldn't get it through to me! I know she wasn't saying what I thought she was saying!! She said she would do it but I would be wasting my money cause it won't show up on my skin. She then had a younger girl suggest a thread only when I explained how upset I was about the tint because I specifically came to the mall for this exact reason she spoke to woman 1 in another language before she offered to tint my brows. I said No! She just told me it won't show up she said oh you don't have enough brow for it. So she (woman 2) threads my brows and again offers to tint them. Which I declined. read more

NEVER AGAIN. I've been growing out my brows for about 10 years because they're super patchy. I purchased the membership at Brow Arc a couple of months ago and I literally leave that place crying every time because every single employee that does the eyebrow threading for some reason thinks that I want them to thread my eyebrows the way THEY think looks best. EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TIME. Today was the last straw. I went in there with very, VERY specific instructions as to what I wanted done, which was the most basic cleanup possible. She proceeded to do whatever the F she wanted to do. When she was done and handed me the mirror, I literally was speechless. And to make it all worse, she said she didn't understand what I wanted which is why she did whatever she thought I wanted. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN START WORKING ON MY EYEBROWS IF YOU DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHAT I WANTED. I left that location crying, once again. I will never give them my business again. read more

They didn't let me explain how I wanted it and now it's uneven. Looks like I have one higher brow than the other. First time and a mistake. Never again. Men, don't go here or you will be sorry. read more

Brow Arc - Waxing Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Used to go here a lot. Generally an unpleasant experience. The staff is unfriendly and the owner is awful. If the owner is the one to do your threading she will continually push services at you, you did not request. "Do you also want x done or y done??" This is all an attempt to get extra money of course. I used to leave huge tips on my initial package purchase but the owner was rude enough to request I space out my tips, because the person who received the tip wasn't her. After a year or two of bad service, this was the final straw. It's not the owner's right to ask me to space out tips to make sure she gets a cut. The services themselves are hit or miss. Sometimes they do great work, other times its awful and I leave with a bunch of hairs left. read more

I love this place! We've been coming for years. I used to drive to Kent and now I can't stay right here in Tacoma and know my eyebrows will be taken care of by Mumtaz or Harjeet! They have always been nice, friendly and welcoming their shop is always clean and beautiful. I would recommend this place to anyone in need of a good brow cleanup!! read more

Always do a great job, went to another place and they butchered my brows. Now I know that I'll have to keep coming back to Brow Arc

Love this place! Ive been coming for so many years! They do a great job! Everyone who works here is so nice, and they understand what you really want. 5 stars to Brow Arc! read more

This is the only place I get my brows done. I am super picky and they always do a great job. Harjeet is amazing!

Love my new eyebrows. Never had my eyebrows done with threading, but I was tired of people messing up my eyebrows with wax. I feel like this lady's did a good job at it, but I always wait longer to see if I still love it. I think I will definitely go back to them. Threading will be my new way for my eyebrows. Thank you! read more

Once again, Harjeet continues to provide consistent service and helps me to look my best!

Lovely was amazing! She did exactly what I wanted. Was patient and went back and rechecked her work to make sure she didn't miss any hairs !

I started coming to this brow-arc 5 days before my wedding. I went with my sister in law to get her eyebrows done and decided to jump in the chair too. I am so glad, I did too. I have been going about once a month for the last six years! I don't pluck my brows in between visits and I will NEVER use Nair on my lip again. This place really is the best. In and out so quickly! Harjeet is amazing at what she does. I have never left disappointed. read more

This place is great! The theaders are very fast and they are very friendly and personal. They even let me double check my face to see if they've missed anything. great job Rane and Baljeet! read more

I have been coming here for years! I have loved my experiences but from here on out I hope to only see Havjeet & Mumtaz. They have honestly treated me like family, and they have made me feel so comfortable. However above all, they are very detailed in the expertise of their skill. They even smile, laugh and joke with me which is so needed after a long day at work. I love them. Recently, I came in and the only lady working happened to be the district manager. She was HORRIBLE: lacked experience and caused me a lot of pain. When she threaded me the thread hardly touched my skin pulling each hair slowly out of my pores one by one and she took FOREVER. I couldn't wait till it was over. After she was done I asked where my "normal" girls were and she told me she was the district manager. Two days later I had to come back as though I had never even been seen just days before. Please train your DISTRICT MANAGER!!!! She should start over at the bottom of the business. These ladies I mentioned above are TOP NOTCH and should be at the very top of this company with their customer service skills and their OUTSTANDING threading abilities. I know it's not easy but they have talent!!!!!!!!! Thank you! read more

So I've got super thick and hard to maintain brows I've been dealing with since I was about 12 ! I've tried so many different places and people , but they are by far the best !! I have been getting my eyebrows done at Brow Arc for almost 3 years now and absolutely will NOT go anywhere but here. Their customer service is amazing and my brows are on fleek every single time I go! Even if I didn't live in Tacoma I would make a point to come to brow arc juuust for their excellent brow skills read more

Been here multiple times and this time I finally realized they are not nice and it's not worth my money. They lady never even asked me how I wanted my brows. I want them more full but she just went right on ahead and did what she wanted. Will not be coming back to this location because of the clear lack of customer service. Plenty of other places in the area to go besides here. read more

I'm so upset I had to experience my first time getting my eyebrows done at this place.. she literally made a patch in my eyebrow. She took 2.5 seconds to do each person and I knew I should've left when I noticed. it seemed like she didn't even take pride in what she did, she seemed like she was rushing. She also didn't even ask what type of style I wanted to get my eyebrows done threaded or waxed... she just went right on in to threading which I didn't plan on doing... I also thought it was pretty disgusting that she used the same thread on my face, that she used on everybody else's face.. Im never coming here again and I suggest nobody come here too. read more

I came in today and only one woman was working(I forgot her name) she was very friendly and very courteous as she could tell it was my first time getting my brows threaded there. We had a great conversation as well. Cleaned up my brows very well. But I checked this place out on yelp and saw the check in and get a $1 off but when I showed her the coupon she said we don't do that here. I mean why is it up if they don't do that promo? I thought I was at the wrong place(I wasn't). It would be nice to update your advertisement ladies! :) I'll be back. read more

Every time I go I want to cry because they always make my brows look flawless and I feel like a super star! Thank you Harjeet!

I have tried every way possible to temporarily remove hair. I've had my eyebrows waxed and plucked. I've waxed them myself. I've had them threaded at multiple places. All that being said, this is, by far, the best place I've ever gone. They are quick, efficient and nearly painless. I have never been disappointed in my eyebrows after leaving. The staff here is extremely personable and explanatory. If you have a question, they will answer it. Their prices are extremely reasonable and any of their memberships are recommended. As long as I live here, this is where I'll continue to go. read more

This place is the best. I go see Mumtaz all the time and she is amazing. She knows how to do her job and is very familiar with my brow style. My whole family goes to see her and we love her! read more

When I moved to the area, I was looking for a place to get threading done. I've been threading for years, and have gotten it done in the Chicago area, in North Carolina, and India, amongst other places. Yes, it hurts a bit, but I've always had decent experiences, which include prepping my skin, using a tissue to catch the hair, finishing my face with aloe vera or something similar, etc. Occasionally I'd get a scratch or so, but nothing major. Until I came here. Horrible customer service, huge inconsistencies between workers, and total pushiness. In addition, my face has never been scarred to the extent that it has been here. I have some scars that took a while to heal. and yes, I have the pictures, which I'll try to upload. The penultimate time I went, I must have put on some weight -- the worker asked me if I was pregnant in a way that was terribly rude. The last time, there was no prepping the skin, no listening to what I wanted, no stretching of the skin (which minimizes pulling, pain, and scarring), and no finishing of my face, leaving me to wander through the mall thoroughly scarred and bleeding (see picture). When I met my husband his reaction was "what the heck happened to you?". It was bad. I got threaded just a few days before my wedding (not here, mind you, elsewhere) - no problems. Would never, ever, ever try that here. Do not recommend. Never again. I wish I could give no stars. read more
