    After brow threading. They didn't listen to what I wanted and made them too thin and it doesn't match :(
    Jeanie N.

    Do yourself and your brows a favor by avoiding this place like the plague. I left this place on a Friday afternoon crying after an eyebrow threading. Right before my eyebrow threading started, I requested them to mostly clean the area and said I do not like thin eyebrows so not too thin please. I should've known by how long it was taking that they were taking away so much hair. I asked to see the progress on the first eyebrow so they stopped. I looked in the mirror and immediately said oh no too thin and the lady responded "it has to be thin. You don't have enough hair" I felt really defeated that she refused to listen to me. The only thing I could do was lay back down so that the other eyebrow at least matched. However, my eyebrows don't even match! They are both thin and one brow is thinner than the other! I was tearing up in the place and she didn't care. She just wanted my cash. I left in tears. Not only did I pay money for bad service, but she made me feel completely invisible and would not listen to my request. She quickly rejected my request and tried to make me feel silly about what I wanted :( Posting before and after pictures so everyone can see the damage!

    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!

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

    I have always been extremely particular about my eyebrows. Before moving to the States, I saw a…read moreprofessional wax aesthetician every month, so when I arrived here, my first mission was to find a brow artist who could truly rival the one I had in Beijing, and Anita did exactly that. I've now had my brows done by Anita three times, all with threading (I was curious to try something new instead of my usual waxing). Her technique is consistently impressive. She shapes my brows in a way that feels clean, refined, and very natural for my face. Plus, the shape consistently lasts for about a month before needing a touch-up. On top of her skill, Anita is also incredibly warm and kind. She finishes the service with a soft, soothing massage, and the vibe in the salon is calm and relaxing too. If you're someone who has high standards for your brows, you really won't regret coming to see Anita.

    I highly recommend Anita to take care of your brows, especially if, like me, you've never had your…read moreeyebrows done professionally. She is sweet, professional, and meticulous, with over a decade of experience, and she consults with you every step of the way to ensure you're comfortable with the process and results. I've always worried about symmetry, shape and visibility of my blonde brows, and the discussion of "eyebrow blindness" on social media really pushed me to see a professional. I researched several highly rated eyebrow shaping salons, but many had a common theme: while some staff members were praised, high turnover made the results unpredictable. I chose Anita because she's the owner and the only one handling the work. I first contacted Anita to let her know I had no idea what services I needed (Wax? Threading? Tinting? Lamination?) but she said I could just book an appointment and she could change services if needed once we discussed in person. I was nervous about going to someone for the first time, but Anita listened to my concerns and put me at ease. She recommended keeping my fullness, explained she wouldn't go too thin, and I was confident she knew what she was doing. She recommended starting with the basics, and explained that lamination might be unnecessary. She suggested waxing for initial shaping, followed by threading for precision, and a light tint to define my brows without going too dark. Throughout, she worked carefully in cycles, letting me inspect the progress, comparing to before photos, and meticulously refining the shape until it was perfect. Waxing was not as painful as I expected, and she applied soothing aloe after. Threading was not at all painful. Waxing made my skin a bit red for a while afterwards, but I was going directly home afterwards so it didn't matter to me. I was nervous about tinting, but Anita explained the process, ensuring the shade wouldn't be too bold and said she could keep wiping to lighten if necessary. She said it would continue to fade and only lasts about 12 days, so I wasn't worried about a commitment if I didn't end up liking it. After the reveal, it initially seemed darker than I expected, and she offered to lighten, but after she showed me the before-and-after photos, I realized it was only a subtle change and I just wasn't used to it. The entire session, including tinting, took about 45 minutes and cost $60 ($40 for initial shaping and $20 tint), very reasonable cost for such personalized care. I've already received a bunch of complements on my brows, and am very happy with them. Anita's office is quiet and cozy, tucked inside an office complex (Salon Republic), and she plays soothing music while she works. For initial shaping or just need periodic upkeep, Anita will be my go-to for brows. And she also offers other services, like full body waxing.
