I went to get some advice on how to groom my eyebrows. They are over tweezed in places and growing where they shouldn't. I couldn't handle them. One visit to the Brow Lounge made a huge difference. My brows look more balanced and enhance my features rather than distract from them. read more

Caitlin does an amazing job with my brows. Always takes such great care of me. Love Brow Lounge.

Great receptionist. And Mikeili is a pro; respectful and gives good advice. My brows are never too much nor too little.

The staff are super friendly and accommodating. Kelsey does a great job and always takes her time!

Caitlin was great. She spent way more time on my brows than another salon that I've been to. I will come back to her and bring my daughter too. read more

My eyebrows are arched in the middle and so thin. I don't like their appearance. When I was there she filled in my eyebrows with eyebrow pencil so I couldn't tell. But when I washed my face I saw the disaster. read more

I dropped in on a Friday early afternoon and was able to get a day of booking within 30 mins. They're typically an appointment only establishment. I was seen by Caitlin Brooks and she did a wonderful job with my brows. She mapped out what they would look like which was an added bonus. I am not big on wax as I often times have major breakouts. She was patient and willing to use tweezers/scissors to bring my brows back to their glory. Caitlin thank you for taking the extra care, attention and time! read more

Clean, professional, friendly environment and convenient location. I would highly recommend Brow Lounge to everyone!!

The customer service is always great, and my treatments are both relaxing and well done. I feel pampered and polished!

Caitlyn is simply the best brow esthetician I have been to over the past 30 years. She is talented, professional, and lovely.

I visited Brow Lounge for the first time today and left with happy tears in my eyes, feeling "myself" for the first time in months. I saw Sunny for a brow tint, lamination and tweeze. Sunny took incredible care explaining the entire process to me (as it was my first brow lamination) she was encouraging the while appointment that my result was coming out really well. I felt confident in her experience and knowledge throughout the my appointment. She gave me realistic expectations for how long my services would last and I really look forward to seeing her on a regular basis. She also educated me on other services she offers for future appointments! read more

Brow Lounge - After brow tint, lamination and tweeze by Sunny - Permanent Makeup Near Me - La Jolla, California

Great brow shaping and color. A+. Will be back. On time and didn't feel hurried. She took time to tell me about the coloring and it took her awhile to shape my crazy growing brows. read more

Great experience and bought some products too Kelsey and Micaeli do an amazing job, and I would venture to say so is the rest of the team! The brow studio is light, airy and inviting. You're always treated like a VIP! read more

Kelci is wonderful. She is so careful and meticulous and so good to her clients. Receptionist and other staff are very kind and helpful. Highly recommend! read more

I have visited this studio every summer for many years and have always been more than happy with my eyebrows. However, I came in for a brow tweeze with Sunny today and I have to follow up because I'm very upset with how my brows turned out. My eyebrows look terrible. She WAY over tweezed my right brow. I'm praying to the eyebrow gods that my right brow grows back.. read more

No hassles or friction points at Brow Lounge. The folks there are friendly and professional. I am very happy with the service they provide me. read more

I have been going to Brow Lounge for years. Even when I moved to the Bay Area, I would make appointments during my visits to San Diego. The owner, Krystl, is so sweet and always makes you feel welcomed and appreciated. Kelsey always takes her time and makes sure your brows look perfect. Brow Lounge has also transformed my skin. They helped me pick good products that actually work like Skinceuticals, Environ, and AlumierMD instead of department store products that were not working. Thank you! read more

Everyone at Brow Lounge are so lovely! Kelsey is my brow gal and she is so amazing highly recommend her...Kelsey is a perfectionist which I need! Kristl did my Microblading a few years ago and I still get compliments, highly recommend her! Thank you Kelsey and Kristl you both are such great ladies to have in my friend circle read more

I love my cleaned up brows! Mikeili was great & the whole experience was very comfortable. I'll be back!

This review is long overdue. I've been coming to brow lounge for over a year and a half now and have seen both Sunny and Kelsey, both girls are amazing at what they do and so sweet and personable! Brow lounge really does it right. They always map out your brows for you before they start waxing, talk about what you want, give their professional input about where to take off and where to leave growth, and have you confirm the shape. The wax they use is so gentle on the skin and I've never had irritation from it. I also love their brow products as well! A few months ago I was also able to treat myself to a lash lift and brow lamination and Kelsey gave me the best lift/lamination I've ever had! This place is worth every penny and is now the only place I trust for anything brow/lash related. read more

I've been getting my brows waxed for like 10 years, I have SO MUCH brow hair but every time I get them waxed I feel like they are too thin, and it always makes me not want to get them waxed again for a long time. I recently got my brows waxed at The Brow Lounge by Sunny and clearly she is *The Brow Whisperer* because I never imagined I could have such gorgeous eyebrows on my face. I am so happy every time I see them in the mirror. They are so beautifully shaped and thick and perfect. I wish Sunny could do my brows everyday, but I will definitely settle for once every 4 weeks, and I am so looking forward to it! she is so sweet, easy to talk to, she takes her time and is clearly a perfectionist. Thank you Brow Lounge and Sunny for the best brows ever! read more

Kristl was great. She asked for my thoughts and confirmed the brow shape before beginning. She explained what she was doing and why as she turned my regrown, wonky brows into refined, defined brows. Thank you!! read more

Love, love, love my girl Sunny!! I refer all my clients to her. She's a gem to this industry. Always takes great care of me and gets me out the door in the time I need. My brows have come back to life after being victims of the 90s! Additionally, can I say dermaplaning is EVERYTHING! My face glows for weeks after that. Thanks Sunny for making me beautiful every month read more

Sunny is amazing and my eye brows look fantastic! I keep getting compliments every where I go! So glad I chose to get a lamination by Sunny. She will walk you through the process the whole time as well. 10/10 read more

Krystal was so nice! I got an eyebrow tweeze and it did not hurt. She was very quick and skilled. She used an Anastasia Beverly Hills tweezer. She also was able to give me lots of tips and show me how to fill them in. She uses very light feather touches with the makeup. Love it my brows came out great. read more

Darling little upscale brow and lash boutique. I've been here twice now and had my brows shaped by Olivia and Kristl and they are both just fabulous, and keep my brows tamed and on trend. I want to try lash extensions too and consulted with Kelsey who is knowledgeable and very friendly. This place has a very nice feel, it's lively but relaxed and comfortable. Customer service is great and I've been lucky with street parking each time. They carry Kopari products which I love! It's also a couple doors down from my new favorite cafe and my nurse does Botox injections here too. She referred me here and I'm so happy she did. One stop shop! read more

I will never go anywhere again to get my brows done! From the welcoming front desk to the decor, this place is fantastic. Annie is the only person I trust doing my eyebrows and for good reason. She is wonderful! I am always receiving compliments and tell everyone I know this is THE best place for brows! read more

I love Brow Lounge! I'm extremely picky with my brows and I trust Kristl implicitly. I've done microblading and a follow up color boost and all her work has been excellent. She is a true artist with a fantastic eye and a great personality. The store is beautiful and staff is friendly. Parking in the garage down the street has been easy and inexpensive. read more

Thank you to Kristl at Brow Lounge for always keeping my brows looking "wow!" Brow Lounge is located in a cute little boutique space in LJ Village. While parking can be a challenge during the summer (I usually try to leave 5-10 minutes earlier for my appointment), after Labor Day it usually isn't a problem finding street parking on Silverado. If I arrive early, I usually peruse the items that are available for sale (jewelry, bathing suits, etc.), or relax in Brow Lounge's comfy waiting area. I have been a client at Brow Lounge since the summer of 2014, when I conveniently worked around the corner. Three years later, I'm still a client, and it's so good that I make the drive! While most of my appointments have been with Kristl, I have also had a couple appointments with Annie. Both ladies are great at what they do. My appointments have always been on time, and when traffic going into LJ has caused me to be late, Brow Lounge has been flexible and understanding. Kristl is friendly and easy to talk to, to the point that when I sit down for my brow shaping, we start talking, and suddenly we're done. The service itself is quick, easy, and (relatively) painless. My brows are at their thickest and fullest, and Kristl makes sure that they stay that way, while still cleaning up my shape and arch. Online booking has definitely made scheduling my appointments with Kristl much easier - the platform is easy and quick. Book your appointment now! read more

Nearly $50 for a brow wax and a pissy receptionist? Methinks certainly not. I guess it didn't get off to a good start. I dropped in for a walk in appointment and they were able to see me in 20 minutes. When I came back the blond receptionist gave me a long waiver form to fill out asking for practically every personal detail bar my SSN. For a brow wax? I filled in my name and signature and passed the clipboard back to the receptionist, who instantly gave it back wanting "ALL" of the info on the sheet. I politely declined. She made a face and began to insist. Again, I politely declined, again she insisted, again I said I would rather not. It got silly. Receptionist: "But what if we need to contact you?" Me: "Well, I'm right here in front of you." Receptionist "No, I mean in the future, when you make a phone in appointment." Me (thinking, what future?): "Well, we'll cross that bridge if we come it. I'm here now; I'll give you my number in the future if I should call in." I realize she was just doing her job, but the sour look on her face throughout the whole exchange was unnecessary. I don't want to give out my number, email, address, twitter, FB, etc. to anyone and everyone who asks, and especially not for a brow wax. Eventually, I was ushered in to the lounge area by my "brow specialist." She seemed sweet enough, offering me a drink as I sank back into the comfy brow chair. Things were looking up. The brow specialist took a look at my brows, which I like to keep natural, but clean and shaped. Apparently I'd plucked a couple of hairs (we're talking about 3 or 4 - I've since grown them out and counted) from the wrong place on my underside arch. Because of this she told me she couldn't shape my brows and that I had to come back another time for the full service. It felt like an up-sell and it turned out to be the first of many. From there on in, everything I asked about she had a product for, and almost every other comment involved her trying to sell it to me. I wouldn't have minded getting up-sold on one or two items, but it was beyond. Again, I realize she was just doing her job, but I could tell she wasn't comfortable doing it. The whole thing felt awkward for both of us. In the end up she did a clean enough wax job. Nothing special. No big transformation, just the same kind of wax I'd get for $8 at my local nail salon. When she was done she started to tell me about a brow pencil (for my dense, dark brows?). I'd never tried one before so she offered to pencil my brows in for me. As she was penciling them in, I finally got a close up of her brows. They looked like two dark stretch-limousines about to collide right over her third eye. That was the final straw. With only one brow done, I stopped her, as she was right in the middle of trying to sell me the brow pencil for nearly $30. I politely took my leave and went to pay. She followed me to the checkout and tried to sell me some brow gel. Again, I declined with an awkward smile. The lemon faced receptionist asked for $40 for the pleasure the whole experience. I asked her what a good tip would be. "20% is $8," she replied. I handed over a $50 bill. "Do you want your change?" Enough was enough. I took my $2 change on principal and left, with my sole dark penciled eyebrow careering like an out of control limousine across my left side forehead, bold, brash, yet lonely. No Brow Lounge, I do not recommend you. read more

I had this place bookmarked on Yelp since 2009 so when I saw that there was a Groupon out, I immediately jumped on the deal. I made my appointment for the weekend before Thanksgiving so that I would have nice pretty brows for the holiday. Setting an appointment was easy. I called and got the exact time I wanted and the person that answered the phone had good customer service skills. I didn't request anyone specific for my brow appointment and got Annie. I saw a few good reviews about her here so I figured I'd be fine. The Brow Lounge is located in a cute shopping area of La Jolla so that was great. The area where the reception desk/waiting area is cozy and seems nice but the area where the brows are done seemed a little cold and bare. The person in charge of my brows that day, Annie, was a bit harsh when examining my brows. I knew I had over tweezed but trust me I still had plenty of eye brows left. She gave me one of those tisk tisk looks and said that I had over tweezed and needed to grow my brows back in. I had been trying to do this for awhile but it's not easy having random eyebrow hairs all over the place and still be presentable out in public. I mentioned to her that there was a part of my brows that wasn't growing in and she quickly dismissed that by saying that the part I was referring to is actually the easiest part of the brow to grow back in. Hello! These are my brows, don't you think I know them better than you do? The actual waxing and tweezing part was a bit rough and painful. She was even rough when brushing my brows. My brows are unruly but she seriously needed to ease up! She did a decent job shaping my brows but ended up drawing really big dark brows on me with brow powder. Plus I think I was allergic to the cream they put on your skin after waxing so I walked out of there with big black brows surrounded by puffy red skin. I'm surprised no one laughed at me on the way to my car. At the end of the session, she walked me to the reception area and as she walked away she mumbled that I should come back for upkeep or not. That's probably not the best way to take advantage of a Groupon for that salon. Groupons are supposed to help get you more new returning customers so maybe you shouldn't do a bad job and then not welcome your customer back. read more

I have been coming to Brow Lounge for a couple of years and recently got an email about a promotion they were running for a discount on brow shaping. I called in to book my appointment and specifically said I was coming in for the promotion. When it came time to pay I was told the promotion was not running yet and I couldn't get the discount. Obviously the person I booked with should have booked me on a date applicable for the promo, and when they didn't honor the discount at the register I was disappointed, seeing as I've always had good customer service there in the past. read more

I LOVE brow lounge!! Since the beginning I've always gone to Kristl, and she's seriously a magic worker. Plus she's one of the owners as well so her customer service is always top notch. As for brows, I'm one of those lucky few with thin and semi-patchy ones, and she's been incredible in both shaping them into something presentable and giving me advice on how to grow them out. I really appreciate her intuition for what shape would best suit your face. Some tips. 1. It's very pricey. $40 for a brow shaping but sign up for the preferred browser program (pay for 5 at once, $35 each instead) if you plan on returning. 2. It gets better each time. The first time I went in, I came out unsure but as I followed her advice on growing, I gave her more to work with and the results just kept getting better. Don't go in there with unrealistic expectations for Brooke Shields eyebrows, no one can grow hair for you. 3. Products: They sell the brow kits that they will use on you, but Sephora sells it for cheaper. 1 STAR OFF however bcus I'm the type that wants EVERY last outlier hair gone, and though Kristl always creates a nice shape, there are usually alot of tiny strays I have to go home and pluck myself. Hope this helps! :) read more

Oooo... I got a first! Brow Loung is a bit pricey, but SO worth it. I opted for the package deal of brow waxes, which gives you a bit of a discount. ($35 brow wax). Everyone here is awesome, and they really take their time crafting your brows to look just right. From massaging in a bit of brow prep, to measuring out the correct points for the perfect brow, to the most gentle wax I've ever experienced - this place rocks! They even teach you how to groom your brows, and how to use brow powder to fill in for imperfections. It's amazing how a great wax, a little brow brush, and some powder help to make your face beautiful and gorgeous! They do a lot of other things, too: Facials, make-up, all kinds of waxing, and plenty of great products to choose from. I'd like to expand and try some of their other services, but for now, I won't go anywhere else for my brows. read more
