Since I needed to kill time while my car was being fixed at the dealership, I decided to give Brow Spa a try. I'm glad I didn't read the reviews beforehand because I probably wouldn't have gone tbh. As of May 2026, brows are $13 while lips are $10. I might go back to get some Henna in the summer. My brows were done by Gia, who works here on Mondays and Tuesdays. She was on the phone while doing my brows, but I honestly didn't mind. I came in to get my brows done, not for small talk. She also made sure I was happy with one brow before moving on to the other. Based on the price, I would definitely come back when I'm in the area. The space is clean & spacious. I also liked that she gave my brows some witch hazel after the service was done. read more

Brow Spa - Brows by Gia (May 2026) - Henna Artists Near Me - El Cajon, California

Waste of time, closed during marked opening hours. Been waiting for over half an hour

So I finally was able to catch the lady who does the henna and let's just say I wish I hadn't. This crap looks like a 1st grader drew it. This is the WORST henna art I've EVER had. The lines are not crisp and the quality is poor. I'll NEVER be back and I would advise you to go elsewhere too. Then to top it off when I asked her for a price beforehand, she wouldn't give me one, and I told her just to do something in the $20-$25 range, and when she was done she TRIED to charge me $35. Even $25 was too much to pay for this subpar work. This is terrible. read more

Staff is rude. I was excited to get my brows done and a middle eastern lady helped me. I think she had burgundy hair. She didn't acknowledge me and she was rude to me. It was today, Nov 09, 2025. She didn't do a good job either, she left hairs and I didn't like the shape. Please hire professional staff! read more

Have been going here for 11 years came in yesterday 15 minutes before closing trying to get threaded to have the lady sitting at the table shaking her head no and turning me away. Today I went back at 7:30 on my lunch break she had the open sign on the door and was sitting down at the counter when I walked in she told me it was "closing" and rolled her eyes at me. This is not someone who normally does my eyebrows I'm very disappointed because I love the two lady's who usually does my eyebrows but the new employee is rude. Will be looking for a new place moving forward very disappointed. read more

Used to have a really good staff, unfortunately it seems the woman who did good threading for eyebrows is no longer there and the new staff dont seem as friendly or welcoming as old staff. read more

I visited Parkway Plaza with Aunt who lives in the area, and while I was at the mall, I saw Brow Spa! I've been meaning to get my eyebrows done for a while. Usually, I go to Brazilia Skin Care at UTC Westfield by my university campus and they've done a wonderful job for roughly $4 more but it's great. However, I was here and decided to get my eyebrows done here--a mistake! Everyone, please learn from this and research the spa on Yelp before you impulsively go in. I'm not quite sure who threaded my eyebrows today but she was quite rough. My eyebrows and the surrounding skin was noticeably swollen. I know "beauty is pain" but if the lady who threaded my eyebrows was a bit slower, I think I wouldn't had been so swollen. In the picture, you can tell on eyebrow is noticeably more swollen than the other too. More importantly, my eyebrows look like sisters, not twins! One eyebrow is thinner than the other, and while this might be subtle, I'm not okay with this. I don't look bad but I feel insecure about how thin they turned out, and the fact they aren't symmetrical! I'm just hoping my eyebrows grow back faster, and no one notices. TDLR: don't go here! read more

Brow Spa - My eyebrows after visiting Bra Spa. The left side is noticeably swollen. - Henna Artists Near Me - El Cajon, California

I absolutely LOVE this place! The women here have never disappointed me in getting my brows (and upper lip ) together. They're extremely fast, I'm always out in 10 minutes. Even if there are other customers, the wait isn't too long. The lady's who work there are very nice, understanding, and considerate of what you want done. My boyfriend comes here to get his brows done now too because they help keep his looking natural but neat. I don't go anywhere else. read more

It was my first and last time coming here. The lady who did my eyebrows was so rough. She kept dragging the string on other parts of my face while doing my eyebrows and it burned. I told her and she said it's cause I keep moving too much. I would've move too much if that fucken string wasn't burning me. I hate the way my eyebrows came out and I realized I had a cut once I got in my car, smh read more

I had very bad experience leaving me with possible scars in eyelid skin. Experience was very painful, and person threading my eyebrows kept swabbing my eyebrow with cotton. I didn't connect this at first. Later my skin was very painful, and red. Next day I could really see the damage. This is what it looks like today... Two days later. The other issue was lack of communication and sense that conversation in Arabic between employees masked mocking me. I tipped her $5. They charged me .40 to use a charge. I doubt it would make any difference to go in to show the results. I'm still deciding what to do, but the end result to me will be scarring. Think twice before choosing to let this company work on your face. read more

I brought my son in a week ago for a henna tattoo. I was quoted $25 for a dragon tattoo that was fairly big and detailed, but I had to wait for the lady who does them. So a week later, my son and his friend go to the mall to get it done. The lady said she can't do that tattoo, so he picks a smaller, not detailed at all,dragon tattoo. A few hours later, he takes off the paste, the tattoo is an orange color, which is normal, but we thought it would be the black color, which is what he wanted and it is darker I some areas, lighter in others, but overall pretty faded. Basically looks like crap. I call, the lady just gives excuses, tells me it will be darker the next day, so I wait two days, look at it again and it looks like a faded marker on his skin, so I go to brow spa with him, show them, asked why he got charged $20 extra dollars, plus a crappy tattoo, then the lady calls the manager. I talk to him, no refunds available, but he tells me to come the next day and the lady will redo it. The next day, the lady says she can't redo it on top of the old one because it will be worse, understandable, so I say just refund me $20 bucks then, although I would only pay $10 for this pos. The manager again gets on the phone, says no refunds, pick whatever tattoo you would like in a different spot. So my son picks a design. The lady tells me, oh that's not good for boys, that's for girls. I say why? Boys can get that too. She said no it's for girls. Then she said she can't do that one. We heard that a lot. So false advertisement as it's finest. They can't do half the stuff they have in there and they only do it in orange, which is what they JUST NOW told me. They don't do the black color. That should've been said at the beginning because he wanted black all along. read more

Went to Brow Spa, been going there for years and I had a gift certificate/gift card my dad bought for me for Xmas in 2019. They told me they don't accept gift certificates anymore since Covid...I said but they don't expire, it's a gift card...he's like yes they expire after a year...such BS! I am never going back there ever again I'll find another place that isn't shady af! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Went here today because I saw it empty, she basically didn't ask what I wanted and did my brows in 2 min. She charged me double what they normally charge because business was slow... my friend tells me "you know it's only $11 right , she basically charged her tip too" super disappointing. read more

My daughter started going here and she loves it. They have always done an amazing job on her. I have gotten my eyebrows waxed for years and no matter how good a waxed is there is always a chance of them taking too much off. So after my daughters continued persuasion I tried brow spa and they have done an amazing job. There is a specific woman I prefer to do mine and she always does a great job. I love it when I go into a service store and they recognize me and are super nice. The brow spa does this. They ask how things are going and make great conversation. Some of these reviews are funny. The store is in east county, very hot, so yeah they have ac on an want the door kept closed. I've never seen them yell at anyone but yes they will ask you to close the door if you didn't. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Worst place to do your eyebrows ever! The lady didn't listen to me and she did what she know and she made me look like a Maleficent. She made my eyebrows very thin even on several occasions I asked her not to do that!!! She was so horrible and kept asking me personal questions instead of asking me what I wanted. She also kept saying "trust me" I know what you want but she really didn't. I left the store crying because I've been trying to grow my eyebrows for years and give them a thick look. But the lady just butchered me and took so much hair out when she could simply ask informative questions to avoid making such mistakes. She also told me "where did I live" indicating the thick eye brows aren't in style and I am old fashion! So basically she just decided to give me thin eyebrows on my behalf!!! Absolutely horrible service. read more

Abeer does a good job, but she's got an attitude. She's pretty rude and will make comments about your weight or the way you look. Also, she'll tell you that she'll honor your reward card any day of the week, but she doesn't follow through with that promise. Every time I get my 5 receipts she always happily tells me that I can redeem it on any day regardless of what the card says, but she doesn't honor her word and she'll deny saying it. She does a good eyebrow job most of the time, but her attitude sucks. read more

I am looking for Bina. I have been going to see her now for about 8 to 10 years. Now that the shop is open, I've called to see when she is working. No one either seems to understand or tell me they don't know when she's back. She is great at her job. Would like to know when she's back? A "5" star would be giving if she comes back. read more

I've been going here for years, the only reason i continued to go was because of how close it is to my house. This place is completely hit or miss!! It all depends on the lady you get. There was one instance where a customer wanted a certain lady to do her eyebrows (so she was waiting for her to finish) and the other lady working got offended and told her "no" and made her come to her... They also have a stamp card system so once you've gotten your eyebrows done 6 times you get the 7th one free.. Some advice: don't tell them that's how you're paying until they're done, they'll purposely do a half ass job (i've learned the hard way) recently about two weeks ago i had my stamp card full and went in to get them done for free and i handed her the card when it was time to pay and the lady rudely replied "oh so you got me working for free now..." Lastly, they yelled at you to close the door if you leave it open or if a previous customer leaves it open they yell at you to close it when you leave. They're so rude here and I'm always scared of how my eyebrows will turn out when i come here. I am no longer coming here just for my personal convenience read more

I've been coming here for years and I can honestly see where this place is getting some bad reviews. For one, it's hit or a miss on your service. I always go crossing my fingers for certain employees and when I find that they aren't working that day, I'll skip it. I hate to say this and be biased but you really want the more seasoned women to shape your brows. Nothing again the younger women but from my last almost 4-years coming here it's an unfortunate trend that I've noticed. On a positive note, when I do get my preferred* service I leave happy. read more

No wait, friendly service, amazingly groomed eyebrows and all for the low cost of $10?!?* Awesome! My brows are very dark and prominent on my face and when I'm in need of a good grooming I definitely look like a ragamuffin. This is definitely elite threading!! I'd recommend them to all!! *This is the cheapest I've ever paid to have my brows threaded...ever. read more

I was a walk in about 45 mins before closing. There was only one person working there and as I walked in and I was about to sign in like I know ur supposed to, ( I normally go to grossmont, but we were in the area) she stopped me right there and even complained. She said that since it was so close to closing and she had 3 other people she couldn't do me. I UNDERSTOOD THWT, It would of been one thing to ask and try to accomodate or just say in a better manner that she is really backed up. I mean, if she really couldnt take any other people, she should of put the CLOSED sign and closed he doors. But mind you, why on a saturday, is there ALWAYS only one person? As I left, she did not apologize. Do not come here!!!! Grossmont center has MUCH BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

Beyond happy that I found this place! I noticed it while cruising the mall one day (note: I don't actually cruise the mall) and came home to do some research on threading. I've been a plucker for years but I'm getting sick of the time it takes and uneven eyebrows. I've recently let my eyebrows grow in and thicken up (thank you, current thick eyebrow trend, well endowed brow girls like myself are so stoked), and I'd been trying to find a waxing salon to keep them "in shape" for me. But after doing some research on threading, I realized that was what I really wanted. Plus I love how simple it is. And its history is impressive. ANYWAY, I came in about an hour before closing on Saturday and they were able to take me immediately (another group was just leaving). I didn't get the young lady's name who did my threading, but she was beautiful and sweet and very skilled. In only a handful of minutes she was finished, my brows were perfect, and I had a new repeat customer card and I was out the door. The whole process was totally painless for me (but keep in mind, like I said up there, I have been plucking for years) and I had no redness or swelling or anything else. I had a nice conversation with my threader and just very much enjoyed the experience altogether and wondered why I hadn't been doing this for years, especially for only $10. I will be back time and time again. I'm so happy I stumbled onto this salon. I feel weird about posting a photo of my eyebrow on Yelp, so I'm probably not going to do it, but just know in your heart of hearts that my eyebrows are perfect and amazing and sent straight from heaven thanks to this salon. read more

This place is completely hit or miss, depends on the lady you get and how she feels that day. i have gotten lucky as i haven't ended up with a tragic mistake where they made my brows uneven and because of this i still came because i live so close and come to the mall often anyway. i came despite their uncleanliness, and despite many people warning me that they will ruin my eyebrows by making them thin and uneven. i am taking my business elsewhere because of the awfully rude employees, their poor service, and that eerie feeling of praying that my brows will turn out okay. read more

I've visited here before in the past, I can't really say anything negative about the place other than the staff isn't very talkative. I don't mind since I am not necessarily a talker, however I do expect to be greeted in a friendly manner. They have always done a nice job and it is $10 for a brow shaping. Not bad, also once you get 5 threads I believe you get the 6th free. read more

Excellent and very fast service! In and out in less than 15 minutes. I've found myself a great threading shop, that's within walking distance! read more

Went in a few days ago to get my eyebrows done. I went in with a full set of eyebrows that just needed to get cleaned up. I opened my eyes to find two thin super pointy eyebrows i kind of feel like one of those "cholas" so i go to pay and she rudely says are you gonna tip? Totally caught me off guard. Not sure if I'll be going back or actually be letting anyone else in the future touch my eyebrows. The place is big and looked clean... I got the old lady... read more

Abeer always does an amazing job 10/10 recommend. I love this place never have to wait too long and the process is quick. However if you have really thin eyebrows I would recommend letting them grow out for the best results. read more

After years of coming here my business with this place stops now. I was told I cannot use my free service I earned due to five eyebrow threadings completed on my reward card, today on a Wednesday. They stated this was due to Covid however they have no signs stating that they will not accept their own reward card since their reopening. That's bad business. I would think my loyalty and my consistency of spending money here would reflect at least in the reward card when I go to redeem it, however they don't even accept that now. Goodbye I will take my business to YAS threading now. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! I tried them twice both times they were extremely rude and the last time I went they butchurd my eyebrows! They are barley there worst experience ever!! read more

If I could give this place a 0 stars I would! It is always hit or miss and I have been going here a very long time. I am not content with their rude employees and not to mention the girl I got to do My eyebrows yesterday evening left them UNEVEN!! NEVER AGAIN will I go here! BEWEAR if you care for your eyebrows. read more

This is the place I go to for my eyebrows. They always leave my brows really good. 3 stars because there's been a time or 3 that they left them to thin. Another time the girl threaded so slow it was terribly painful. They've switched employees so much that you don't know to take the new girl or not. But outa the 20 times I've been there there's only like 3 times that wasn't great. I like that they give you a coupon card so after 5 visits you get the next one free as long as it's not on a Friday. I would like to try a henna design there. Don't know how well they do with that and wouldn't want a design I'm not happy with on my skin for 2 weeks. read more

Take advice from your fellow yelpers. Take your money elsewhere. I took my niece to get a henna tattoo and there henna was expired and did not leave the design it was supposed to. The woman who did her henna was rude and was rolling her eyes because we didn't want the 25$ design that she offered us. I called to let them know I'm coming in for a refund and the lady who answered was not helpful and insisting the the henna was great quality and that it worked perfectly on her hand. read more

Just went today. Nice looking place & clean. The woman did an excellent job on my brows & I'm quite pleased with them. It's my first experience with threading and I'll be back. It wasn't too painful, but not any easier than waxing or tweezing. At least with waxing it's all done at one pull. I didn't get any redness (though my friend did) afterwards & she didn't smear me with any eucalyptus or similar weird smelling stuff. Plus, for $10 it's a good value. The lack of stars - one, her professionalism lacked. She didn't greet us as we entered, though its a small place and I know she could see us enter. After I signed in, looked through some henna books, and their pamphlet did she finally say something. "You want your brows? Yes, sit down over there." A woman before me left her wallet, and she stood where she was and yelled, "Hello! HELLO!! HELLO!!!" until the woman turned around and came back. She finished with her client and didn't even motion she was ready much less come to get me or introduce herself. She wasn't cleaning her station or doing anything as far as I could tell. I finally walked over and she motioned me to sit. She started towards me, but turned back because her friends came in. There was no "excuse me" or "hold on a minute guys" to her friends. She went over and chatted for a few minutes while I waited half in my seat. During the appt, she also pushed (gently) me back in the seat several times when I assumed we were done. After the mirror, apparently she needed to put some lotion or something on still . And then after I got up when that was done, apparently we needed some "filler" as well. Just ask, is all I'm saying. I'm happy to sit down again. The second star off is for sanitation. I'm not squeamish, so it doesn't bother me too much, but I can see some people would have a fit. She cut the string with her teeth. (Yes, I know, THAT part doesn't actually touch your face - it's still the principle.) She used the same brushes, combs, scissors, tweezers, make up brush on you that she did everyone else. They have that blue disinfectant, but nothing was in it. The sanitation thing that DID bother me was when she put "filler" on my eyebrows using the same brush & the same pot of makeup as other clients. I also think she should ask if people want makeup applied before she does it. read more
