    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!

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

    Shymell is amazing!!…read more I briefly used to go here at their old location on Telegraph above the tattoo parlor and the attention to detail/comfort and customer service has not only stayed true since then, but has gotten even better! The entire place looks and smells like a spa. Symone is so kind and her smile is super contagious. I went to EWC across the st. to start the Brazilian process again because it was cheaper but immediately regretted it. I promise you, the prices here are so worth it considering my sensitive skin always leaves feeling calmed and renewed after my wax- something that is so rare at every other waxing place I've gone to EVER. I've never experienced any skin issue during after care or long after the wax since they only use the cleanest ingredients and their estheticians are really skilled. I booked an extended Brazilian about 4ish months ago and randomly got assigned Shymell and I'm so glad I did. She's super gentle and makes me feel so comfortable which is crucial for this type of wax. It feels like we've known each other for so long! She tracks how my skin/hair are doing and is now very knowledgable about my skin/hair profile after only a handful of sessions. Also love that they kept the art on the ceiling- so empowering! I don't usually write a long review or review at all but felt the need to share how awesome this place and Shymell are.

    Amazing experience here, would highly recommend! This place is clean, it's welcoming, and all of…read morethe staff are very knowledgeable! I really appreciate the divine feminine/spiritual vibe throughout the waxing center. I will definitely become a permanent client here . My first Brazilian wax and Vida made it me feel very comfortable. She's the best!!!

    Alresa works some serious magic. I would never let anyone touch my eyebrows until I found her. Just…read morethe thought of someone potentially demolishing my eyebrows gives me nightmares lol I'm very particular about the shape and size of my brows and have always been so hesitant to let anyone touch them. But Alresa is so good with threading that my eyebrows literally inspired art (no joke, someone started using them as a reference for their work). The process is so quick and affordable, and she graciously puts up with my constant sneezes and eye watering. Despite my runny nose and eyes while getting threaded, she makes it as painless as possible. I've even had a Brazilian by her and it was the least painful I've ever had and she had wonderful care tips. She has separate, private rooms for various services, but no matter where you end up, the atmosphere is so calming. She has heaters if you get cold, aloe for eyebrow redness, and paper underwear for waxing. I honestly can't imagine going anywhere else. I haven't tried any of her other services, but I don't doubt they're just as great as the ones I've experienced. Pro-tip: plan to schedule appointments AT LEAST 2 weeks in advance, maybe even more if you have something special coming up and the online scheduler allows it.

    You're in good hands with Alresa at Cloud Nine and Brow Lounge. She and her staff respect the art…read moreform that is your body and how you wish to present it.
