Can't believe I'd been walking by Mandy's to get to Bethany's during all those years at Uta and never once checked this place out! I needed an eyebrow wax and actually came in by accident thinking it was the nail salon next door (lol). Yes, i was absentmindedly texting and walking... but I was so pleasantly surprised by how serene and homey the salon felt, I decided to stay when the sole lady cutting hair (Mandy) confirmed she did brows. The wait wasn't long at all only one client in the barber's chair before me (they chatted about football, and at one point started including me in the conversation). When it was my turn another client came in too, and another as I was leaving.
She was very careful with my brows, taking her time and conversing with me even though another client was clearly waiting on her. The cleanser she wiped with afterwards felt clean and soothing, not oily like at nail salons (it smelled like pina colada too mmm). Her technique was unique. Usually it's a single strip on top, bottom, and in the middle between the brows. She did one on top, one between the brows, but separated the bottom into tWo separate strips. I think they're the most PERFECT arches I've ever had.
I'm really surprised there werent more yelp reviews, apparently this salon's been here over 13 years. They've gotta be doing something right though if they've been here that long and are still in business. No hustle and bustle of modern day salons... only nice, steady, and slow. Mandy is the only barber and she happily takes her time with her customers. It's like an old school barber place you'd see on tv where only the owner him/herself gets to cut and talk to you. Unfortunately she only does men's and children's haircuts, but now I know where I'm getting my brows done from now on. Glad I strolled in today.
BTW her $9.95 for eyebrow + lip wax is a STEAL. Brows by itself is already $10 at most places. Her brows are only $8 read more
