First time getting my eyebrows micro bladed/shaded and the results were phenomenal! I received a few compliments and after the nurse at the doctor's office complimented me on my brows, I knew they were on point! Nice place and Shah's expertise made me comfortable and at ease. I found Red Scissors when I complimented a friend on her brows and she shared the salon with me! read more

One of the most painless waxes I've ever done! Aanum was patient and kind and kept me distracted with conversation the entire time. I was in and out within 15 minutes too! Facility was mostly clean. Outside area looked great however I did think the inside of the waxing room could use a bit of a refresh! Either way, would come back here. read more

Was very knowledgeable. Understood what I was looking for. Took her time, never felt rushed. Felt at ease, even though I was nervous. With so many salons, can be hard to find a good fit and reasonable priced for my budget. She did extra condition, cause I really needed it and overall it became a much better look than I usually end up with at a price I can afford with a warm welcoming atmosphere. Will be returning. read more

Another yearly touch up on my eyebrows with amazing results. Will never go anywhere else while Shah is in business!

A review of Microblading, Brow Tinting and Waxing Services in 2021. MICROBLADING (3D) I've received so many compliments on my brows and for good reason. Shah does great work. Case and point, today I went in for my touch up because it's expected at the six week mark, but I was rather satisfied with the appearance before doing so. There was very little fading despite my decision to use dark brown over black. Shah, really went out of her way to make sure I was pleasures with the shape, thickness and color selection. In terms of pain, IMO, it feels like lots of paper cuts even after numbing cream is applied. Outside of that, it's a breeze. Until you're in the 7-10 day healing stage where you question why did you do it and obsess over how it looks to others. Scabbing was minimal for me but trying to avoid any moisture in the area when you exercise, garden and wash your face for 9 days while it's healing was the biggest pain. But, in my book, it was so worth the temporary adjustment esp if it means spending less time filling in curly widely spread brows daily! (WFH during the healing process certainly helped with appearance concerns). The hardest decision I had to make was boxy or rounded. Shah's every day price is so low you'd question whether it's a novice but the same can be said about waxing services. RS is priced right. My only feedback and wish list for this service would be for a half sheet of paper with after care instructions or something displayed on the website. I personally couldn't remember the # of days to avoid moisture and apply ointment or how much ointment to apply (dab, pea size). WAXING I love Aanum. She's funny, accommodating, candid and quick. Brazilians are $35, brows are $8, but if you get Microblading done there, it's $5. If you're one who is generally early for appointments, Aanum is great about giving you the option to come in slightly earlier. I've taken her up a time or two and was even able to squeeze in an extra service by doing so. BROW TINTING I've only had tinting done one other place (MADD LOVE in Forest Park) and my experience fell short when compared to there but my brows without question looked better than they did when I entered. But for Microblading, I would've returned to my go to for tinting which wasn't my preference because I was in search for one stop shopping.Thankfully, Microblading has remedied this issue for me. If threading is your thing, it's offered too along with hair services. In terms of location, it's in Lombard just at the Glen Ellyn border off Main Street in a strip mall w/ 7-11. read more

I have waited over a year to post this update. Getting general spa services here is fine. My issue was with the microblading experience. I am not sure who the microblading person is (I think Shah), but this is my advice: If you have NO eyebrows, or eyebrows that are barely there due to alopecia, then be very cautious. My experience may have been unique and I hope so. But she did NOT listen to me, she did NOT use my drawn on brows as a template, and she could not even see the flaws in the asymetrical nature of the two brows that she created. I have lived with uneven brows now for over a year now, and while I try to use the microbladed brow lines as the guide to finish drawing in my brows, I have to correct the height of the arches, the placement of the arches, the curve of the inside part of the brows, etc. Every day I regret having this procedure done. I only went for the initial treatment, and did not return for the second treatment although I did pay for it. Honestly, I was so disappointed with the results (while still in the spa) that I went home and intentionally got them wet and tried to wash them off. They did peel but the ink is still there a bit. Being as I came in with my brows drawn on perfectly, she should have taken a photo of my brows - but she just wiped them off. Then she tried to use a pencil to draw horrible brows using a compass. What she intended to do truly scared me. My brows have always been thin and well-shaped. The brows she wanted to give me did not even match the natural contour of my brows. I once had my brows tatooed by a man who was renouned for his ability to draw brows and tatoo them. I was utterly happy with his work (he was from California). The tatooed brows only lasted a few years and then I was back to drawing them on again. I was impressed with the concept of microblading and I still am. I just need to find someone who can DRAW on brows and then microblade over them accurately. I think getting someone who can draw and create beautiful brows is a bit of a crap shoot. Just be careful. read more

I have never walked out of a hair salon with such a big smile on my face. Shah listened!!!!! Amazing, then just cut, highlights and WOW!!!! I love my cut and highlights. Going back to get my eyebrows done. I will let you know. Shah is a great beautician, thank you, thank you! read more

Aanum is the absolute best!!! very detail oriented and makes you feel super comfortable. I highly recommend her for any waxing needs! 10000/10!!! read more

I was hesitant to do micro blading for years and Shah made me feel confident due to her many years of experience! not only is Shah amazing, she came in on a Sunday only for me as she wanted me to have them done in time to heal for a vacation. Life changing! 10/10! read more

Shah and Aanum are incredibly professional, while still being friendly. As a man who likes to take care of his appearance, sometimes I get strange looks when I go to a spa or salon. None of that at Red Scissors. From the moment I walked in, I was treated with friendly respect. On my second appointment, it was like we were old friends already. You won't be treated like you're just a dollar sign. You will be treated as a confidential client. What I really appreciated is how they explain the procedure as well as expectations and proper care during the recovery period. The faculty is not only super clean, but also very modern and beautiful. It's rare that after a service, you're already looking forward to the next appointment read more

I sent my mom here for Microblading, as it has been awhile since she first got them done while visiting me in San Diego and needed someone local. She has MS so she has lost all of her eyebrow hair, and her skin didn't take well to the old ink so it turned very brassy colored. Shah is an absolute artist! I am blown away by how realistic the hair lines are. The shape is perfect considering she was working with really old lines and ink, and had to cover that old color as well. We both couldn't be happier with the results! This is definitely the place my mom will continue to go for all her touchups! Thank you so much for being such an amazing artist! read more

Worst experience ever!!! I had microblading by Shah and she had to deal with the worst customer she has ever had but if she would not have decided on her own without explaining to me how she was "reshaping my eyebrow for my face" and shave off part of my existing eyebrows I would have said I did not want that. The shape that I was born with was just fine, I just wanted them filled in. I Could go into a lot more detail but I won't. Basically I complained and said to never come back. She said she would return the tip I paid for me to go somewhere else! Now I have messed up eyebrows!!!! A bit of clarification... I don't see how waiting can fix one been thicker than the other causing them to be uneven . The previous place was more than 3 years ago and they also did not add to make them closer together, that was all you. read more

Today is my sons wedding. Shah called me to cancel my appointment a couple of hours before it was to occur. Apparently, the woman I was scheduled with tested positive for COVID this morning after being sick for a few days. She made no accommodation for me except to offer the appointment to me with the Covid positive employee. Very, very poor business accountability. read more

I am so excited I got my eyebrows done at Red Scissors. My experience was the best customer service and very elegant atmosphere I have had.I would definitely recommend everyone to go there. read more

All I can say that I have beed coming to red scissors salon for 5 years now. Did my eyebrow micro blading , lip shading with Shah , eyelashes with Aanum and facials. Would not go anywhere else for it. Highly recommended for any services you need done. Girls are amazing and very knowledgeable. Place is cute and clean. I have recommended friends and family as well. Trust me you won't be disappointed. read more

I went on 1/26/2020. Shah was great. She explained everything with patients. My eyebrows were not symmetrically aligned but she was able to fix. I can't wait for my touch up to see final outcome. Will update read more

Date of service: 04 March 2021 Service:: Microblading Experience: First time! I cannot say enough great things about Shah! First she is so sweet and kind; she immediately makes you feel comfortable and welcome. The salon is very Covid conscious but not over bearing. It is clean, well decorated and inviting. Next, Shah is extremely thorough in her explanation of what microblading is and is not not. She gave background on her experience, the procedure, the after care and touchups. She asked what I wanted and looked at photos of what I hoped for. She accomplished it! I will go only to her from here on and look forward to the other services she offers. Finally, this was a great experience with some "pain" that was short. She was very conscience of my feelings and made sure I was comfortable. The results are fabulous thus far and I can't wait to see the final results in 30 days. My overall rating is 5 stars with high recommendations. Thank you Shah! Misty read more

Made an appointment to get my eyebrows threaded at red scissors two days before my wedding after reading what sounded like many good reviews on Yelp. I showed up to my appointment to find the doors locked and salon closed. I called to find out if maybe they were just on lunch. But I was told that she was sick and not feeling well so didn't come in that day. I was in total disbelief at the unprofessionalism. Obviously I understand that people get sick and especially during a pandemic I appreciate that people do not just show up to work when not feeling well. But I was shocked I received no means of communication about my appointment needing to be canceled. read more

So i went today for my final touch up and let me tell you that im super happy with the results. If you ever think on getting microblading i highly recommend Red scissors not only because they do a great job its the environment that they make you feel comfortable. Shah explained every step til the aftercare. Thank you Shah! This is my before & After results! read more

Not happy with the end results of my brows. They need to be redone and I don't have time for this. Also, the establishment does not wear proper face masks, they wear these extremely tiny mouth shields. So expect to be breathed on, while they work right in your face! Go somewhere else and pay a little more. Better to go get the job done right the first time and with proper safety requirements. Best of luck! read more

Arrived for my 12pm appointment at 11:50am and sat in the waiting room. I was not greeted by anyone at the desk and another potential client left since no one came to greet us. After about 20 minutes the owner came to the front and asked what brought me into the salon. I let her know I had an appointment for a Brazilian wax. She told me that the women who was doing my wax was stuck in traffic. She mentioned that it would be another 25 minutes until she could help me. I was disappointed that she didn't just offer to do my Brazilian wax she wasn't with another client at the time. The women who was late didn't show up until 12:45pm. I would have left and went to a different salon, but I had a Groupon that I wanted to use. I will not be recommending this salon even though she did a good job on the wax. I just didn't feel like a priority as a client even though I had an appointment and was on time. read more

Shah was so kind and thoughtful with my microblading treatment. It was my first time and she made me feel relaxed and comfortable. She knows exactly what she's doing! I will definitely be going back and recommending her to everyone I know.... read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! we have good options in lombard than this who cater customer ethically and provide good customer service. Owner SHAH thinks of herself as she does things for free doesn't compensate when its clearly her fault. She cannot do simple bangs and brags about her years of experience. TERRIBLE. Never get haircut from SHAH. Also treated customers bad when they use group on. read more

I went to Shah for microblading - I have always had the trouble of being in photos and etc and my eyebrows were so blonde it looked like I had none! She was able to make me comfortable, make me laugh, and also make me FINALLY have eyebrows! She is incredible and did amazing work. It looked nice and natural too so it wasn't crazy looking with lmk light hair and skin! Will definitely be back soon! read more

Red Scissors - Having fun with my new brows! - Hair Salons Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

Awesome place, Keyanna and Shah are the best. I gave them a challenging Brazilian wax job because of my piercings and they got me all clean without any disturbance to my jewelry. A+++ establishment. I love my new friends. read more

Overall my microbladed eyebrows look pretty good. But I have to say the tail end of the process was a total doozy. Shah, the lady who did my eyebrows is also the owner of the place has no problem hanging up on her customer. Inspite of the fact that she left gaps in my eyebrows, I tried to tell her at the touch up session, but she wouldn't listen to me, saying her work is very thorough and the original work and the touch up both should take care of any gaps. Well it didn't! I sent her photos and then called her, asking her to fix the gaps...she hung up on me and told me never to come to her salon again! AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS PLACE HAS!!! SO EVEN THOUGH I HAVE MICROBLADED EYEBROWS I PAID TONS OF MONEY FOR, I STILL HAVE TO TOUCH THEM UP EVERYDAY! read more

I've done a few different services here with Shah and with Aanum. Both ladies are professional, clean, and make you feel comfortable. It's a bit of a drive for me but definitely worth it. read more

I was very disappointed with their service. I got my eyelashes done by Aanum and I experienced an eye irritation the day of. When I approved her with the problem, her "solution" was to completely remove the eyelashes and keep my money. Nor her or Shah (the owner) were willing to work with me and buy a new glue. The poor quality products they used didn't work for my eyes, but they didn't care about the customer satisfaction rather just the money they were making. I wouldn't recommend this place because they are very stingy and not trustworthy people. Even after I had brought four customers to their business to help them out, they weren't willing to help me in this situation. Since it's not letting me reply to that comment, I guess I'll just add on to this since it's necessary. I noticed that you keep saying "for free" like it's a charity or act of kindness when in all honesty it's more of an obligation that you had to do. You were the one that didn't do a great job with the lashes, and you're the one who is supposed to fix it. I offered you money and you said no. I wasn't coming there to steal anything from you, I simply came back for you to fix the job you started. I didn't go out the day after, I actually let them dry for 48 hours the first time you did them. I didn't reach out to you because I felt bad since you legit begged me to come to you and I didn't want for you to feel like you didn't do a good job. I did my eyelashes with you guys first, clearly with someone who worked there so I don't understand what the comment about "getting them done elsewhere for a year" means. She was your employee and you clearly told me you were the one that taught her everything..Very contradicting. And the comment about me talking too much? The one reason I was talking was because you were interested to know what was going on and asked question. So maybe next time you shouldn't be talkative since you're going to make the client seem like they're desperate to talk to you. One last thing, I didn't say "better" products. I said "other" products, and if you want me to post proof of our conversation I am more than happy to do that. I'm clearly very disappointed and this is the last time you guys will hear from me. read more

So I just purchased a groupon for a Brazilian. The lady that answered the phone refused to take a phone appointment and asked if I do it online. Then she said her prices changed if I could RETURN the Groupon and pay her directly I returned the Groupon and purchased one from a DIFFERENT salon. Very unprofessional and inconvenient. This was a big mistake trying to give this salon business. I hope they can do better read more

First time customer today and will most definitely be making this my regular salon. Got waxed by Aanum and was instantly very comfortable with her and hands down one of the least painful waxing experiences I've ever had. I am eager to come back and give them a shot at my hair & eyebrows! read more

I had 3D Microblading and Permanent eye makeup done by cosmetologist Shah! She was super fantastic! First, she took time to explain both procedures to me in absolute detail; she told me what to expect, length of recovery, possible side effects (swelling in the case of eyelids) etc. She re-drew my brows when I needed minor adjustments and during 2nd visit completed the finished look to my total satisfaction. She's attentive, meticulous, caring and a consummate professional. She'll take good care of her clients. And my face looks amazing first thing every morning! No more fussing with the brows, drawing eyeliner and filling in the patchy brows; that sleepy tired look has vanished! I'm getting compliments all the time!! I highly recommend cosmetic procedures to enhance your natural beauty and make you look like a million bucks! But most importantly I recommend her! read more

I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon after a while searching for a place to get a haircut and a Brazilian Blowout. I called in advance and was told I could come in right away. As soon as I walked in I was warmly greeted and seated. The process is a long one (about 90 minutes) but time flew talking about the similarities between Indian and Puerto Rican food and our experiences living in coastal places. I loved the end result. My hair was silky smooth and she actually cut just the split ends like I asked her to. I will definitely come back! :) read more

This was my first time going to Red Scissors Salon and I have to say it was an excellent experience. It was my first time ever getting a Brazilian wax and Aanum did such an amazing job. She walked me through her step by step process, we had good conversations and she made me feel very comfortable (the pain was minimal as well) and also gave me great after care tips. The salon itself is very modern and clean. The staff are so friendly. I definitely recommend going here. They have a variety of services available too and are affordable. I can't wait to go back! read more

Red Scissors has never disappointed me. I have taken services from Syeda and Anum, and they both are really good at their job. I generally go here for bikini wax, which is the most painful beauty service, but not much painful when done by these beautiful ladies. This place is also a good choice for threading, hair cut and hair coloring. Wish them good luck! :) read more

Yahooo, my EYEBROWS, what an improvement!! Shah was very kind and very knowledgeable! She made sure I was comfortable and that everything was done just to my liking! I will definitely be back! Thanks Shah! read more

Aanum is my go to girl! I'm very picky when it comes to anyone waxing my eyebrows due to past experiences so I will admit my first appointment I was nervous but she absolutely blew my mind with how bomb of a job she did!! And to add onto her lovely customer service I was 7 months pregnant when I first saw her and couldn't sit comfortably so she accommodated in every way possible! She is someone lovely to have a conversation with as well. She is totally worth the hour drive I commit to once a month!! read more

I came here for a wax last month with Aanum, and she was wonderful. I've never written a review but given my experience here, I felt the need to. She was very thorough, and explained the process very well. She's very down to earth, which made the whole experience that much easier. I will definitely be returning for future services. Keep it up:) 10/10 read more

Got my eyebrows microbladed here. Since it was my first time, I was very nervous but Shah made me feel at ease by answering my endless questions and was very informative about everything. She reshaped my sad little eyebrows and gave them volume and a perfect color match. She matched the price on Groupon also. Left the salon feeling like a million bucks! read more

I originally was "brought in" by Groupon for a set of Brazilian waxes, and have been returning ever since. Shah is efficient, friendly and thorough. Though the studio/salon may not be high-end, the service and final product is exceptional. read more

Just moved here from NY and was on the search for a new eyebrow threading spot. Being that I was going to the same lady for years back home and the fact I'm super picky when it comes to my browz going into a new place was scary. First off I couldn't find many places that threaded near Lombard. I came across Red Scissors, which is luckily within minutes of my house. I walked out confidently and so glad to have found my new spot! :) The owner is multi talented and does it all while making you feel so comfortable and welcomed. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get fleeky browz and awesome service!!! read more
