    Threading
    Alize J.

    Just had my eyebrows threaded, and I love the result! Waxing always gives me terrible breakouts, and I was starting to grow a unibrow, haha. I was happy to discover this place conveniently located near my nail salon. The atmosphere was serene and peaceful. I'll definitely return to collect stamps on my loyalty card!

    Before threading (really needed a clean-up!)

    I was so excited when Brows by the Bay came to Elmwood. It's so convenient to have a threading place within walking distance. These women their do amazing work, and I always feel fabulous afterwards!

    Left brow - so thin :(

    Really disappointed. I asked for my brows to be as full as possible but I have never had them threaded so thin. My left brow is much thinner than the right at this point, but I didn't want to take any more off the right, which was already thinner than I wanted. I wish they had taken the time to listen a bit more before just starting. I acknowledge my brows were a bit patchy, but I would have much rather some of that remain rather than just removing so much.

    Efficient and very attentive! She made sure I was satisfied with my brows and helped shape them to suit my features (:

    Completely avoid this place. I asked for the lady to clean up my brows and she undid months of grow out progress. I left crying and now I have to fill in my eyebrows to look normal for the next few months. Avoid! The lady tried to tell me I didn't grow hair there like what? And don't even think about commenting on this review to somehow make this my problem. She didn't know what she was doing and thank god I left with what I have on my face now. Adding a photo of what my brows normally look like lightly filled in. What a mistake this was.

    Brows with no makeup on!

    Brows By the Bay is amazing! I had never done threading before, and the results were incredible! This will be my go-to place from now on.

    I decided to try it after my usual brow threading since I get sick of doing my brows and Lela recommended it to me.

Vibe was more small salon shop. Note: they take apply pay! The lady doing my eyebrows was very efficient and communicative. Took like 10 mins max. She asks what you want for your eyebrows and follows your instructions! I thought what I asked for and what I got was pretty similar! She will give you cooling gel after if you request it. My service was $14 not including tip! I would come again once in a while, may be when I have another eyebrow emergency and my wallet agrees!

I'm a woman who has been growing out my hairline for the past 8 months with the goal of making my forehead look smaller, and every time I've gone in for forehead threading and explained that I want to keep as many baby hairs as possible (even taking a mirror and pointing to the hairs), they've taken a ton of hair off my hairline. Every time they just nod as if they understand the request but don't ask any followup questions. The last time I went, they completely removed 8 months of growth... which really surprised me because the hair was LONG and not once did they check in with me to check in with me about what they were doing. It's pretty upsetting to grow your hair out for almost a year and have it decimated in fifteen minutes. I was a monthly customer for over a year with the old owner Nirmala, who I never had this issue with. Nirmala was extremely communicative and made sure she understood what I wanted before she started the service, whether she was threading my eyebrows or my forehead. Unfortunately, I won't be returning with the new management. I would err on the side of caution if you have specific requests, because IMO the new owners are not as communicative or conservative about hair removal as the old owner was.
