This Shape Brow Bar location is gone. I wish they had returned to their kiosk, like the location in Sherman Oaks, which is open as usual. They moved their operations from the kiosk to the store because they had big plans for more treatment options, but shortly after, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and they never recovered. I have been a client since 2018, and I've been mostly satisfied with the threading service. My go-to was Rachik! read more

This location is closed now :(. Need to find another location. I really liked their services & people read more

I love the talented ladies here. They are the best in the business. I al a loyal customer and will be back because of them. However... The owners of this store need to replenish the supplies like witch hazel. I have very sensitive skin and I need that after threading. They need to take better care of their business!! It feels like they have abandoned the upkeep. read more

I loved getting my brows done here! The ladies that helped me were always the kindest and I enjoyed making this my go to spot. I even purchased a $250 gift card to myself! But recently they moved into the Salon Republic and, try as I might, I cannot get a hold of anyone to make an appointment. I've called every number I can find, I've left voicemails, I even got in one day when they were closed and left a Salon Republic card with my phone number, requesting an appointment, in their door handle, hoping for a response and still nothing. Guess who still has $100 on a SHAPES gift card and no where to spend it? read more

I paid for 3 months membership only to go to get my brows done less than a week after purchasing the package. There is an eviction notice on the door at the Westfield Culver City location. Do not renew your membership with them. read more

Several months ago, I visited this eyebrow shaping business that i have been a customer of for over 20 years, but unfortunately, my experience was not a positive one, which is why this review has taken me so long to write. You see, while I was waiting for my service, I was next in line when a customer of the same culture as the employee who was supposed to help me started speaking with her in their language. The employee then told me I had to wait longer (even though it was my turn) and that she was going to assist the other customer first. I felt very uncomfortable, hurt, upset and discriminated against. Moreover, I noticed that the business has lost several good employees over the years, whom were like friends to me, which is concerning and may indicate deeper issues within the company. I have NEVER gone back after the negative treatment I had experienced. I am using the balance of the money I had bought in gift cards at another location. I hope that the management of this business takes steps to address these issues and ensures that all customers are treated with respect and fairness, regardless of their background or ethnicity. Until then, I cannot and will not recommend this business to others. read more

I am disgusted by this place's business ethics. I've been going here with a "membership" for over 10 years now. I've seen it grow, I've seen brow specialists come and go, I've been a loyal customer as they increased their prices. The last jump I was was big, $18.99 to $24.99. But I thought, loyalty. So here comes COVID-19, and they close their shops but they decide to CHARGE for the month of APRIL even though they cannot even render services. How do you charge your clients when you have nothing to give. ABSOLUTELY disgusted. I emailed them three times and ZERO response. These people are CROOKS. I no longer want to be serviced and support a company I've been sitting through for over 10 years. When gyms, airlines, and other services are finding ways to accommodate through credit or holds, this place just wants to take your money without a response. HORRIBLE. DO NOT SUPPORT SUCH A BUSINESS. LIKE if you're experiencing the same thing. read more

If you are thinking about going here; be prepared for messes. The people that work there are great. But their system and process is absolute garbage. I purchased a groupon and used it a few times. I paid the full price. The few times I used it everytime I was there at least 15 minutes waiting for them to call a head office that doesnt pick up to validate it. Yesterday i was there and went to use it. I was told at this time they are no longer working with groupon and I had to pay for the service since they are no longer accepting my membership. The guy on the phone from corporate was extremely rude; and told me to deal with groupon. NEVER AGAIN. i feel bad for the people that work there because they are actually good. But the customer service of this company is beyond sketchy. I have been a member for 3+ years, and i also lost a full year membership during covid that I bought through them direct that they did not honor. I was understanding then because they were shut down; but now this is enough. Do not trust this company and do not use them at any cost. read more

Normally I love this place but this last visit was very frustrating. I came in at 10am like their hours day and waited 15 mins and it never opened. I came back later that day and it was very busy which was fine and every had to sign in. A girl walked in and the person doing brows took her right away. I asked if they take appointments and was told no so I was very confused how the girl got to skip the line after I had been waiting for 30 mins already and my turn was next. read more

Harriett has always been the best - She is a true professional. The only problem is the archaic registers - always broken. The owners need to buy a new computer system. The nice ladies working don't need to deal with that. read more

Honestly it's a hit or miss with this place. Some days I leave and feel great and some days I ask myself why did I come here again?! it's quick and convenient and the price is affordable but you never know how your eyebrows are going to look after. You have to be very specific with what you want and even then they might mess it up. I've been trying to find a new place for eyebrows but everyone charges so much nowadays so it's $12(plus tip) compares to $30 or $35 ( plus tip). Once I find someone who can do my eyebrows really nice I will most likely not be coming back here. It's just convenient because of the location and hours. The wait is sometimes very long and sometimes no wait at all. Just make sure you tell them specifically what you want so they don't make your eyebrows super thin. read more

Shapes Brow Bar - New prices - Makeup Artists Near Me - Burbank, California

I was a costumer of this place for a few years but Since they moved to the new place the quality has changed. They are always trying to sell you gift cards, makeup , membership etc , as soon as you sit in the chair they begin with their marketing strategy. However, what really bothered me last time that I was there was the ladies who did my eyebrows was answering her personal cell phone while she was working on me, Phones should not be allowed during business hours and if they have emergencies they should call the business phone number . read more

DISHONEST AND Aggressive DONT BOTHER! We stopped by this place and asked the price of brow threading. They said $4 for for first timers, and showed my friend to a chair. Afterwards they said it was only $4 if you scanned their QR link. Fine, but it wasn't working. They got very argumentative and said it was our phones... BOTH of our phones?? and we had to pay full price. We finally got the head lady to try it on her phone and it didn't work for her either. So instead of honoring their discount they forced us to pay full pop. read more

I have been coming to shapes for several years (since I was a teen) now. But recently I got my eyebrows done and was nicked and cut for the first time. I didn't go to my usual brow artist. Other concerns arise from this, as I see others also complain about the same issue. How are they properly disinfecting their tools to prevent the spread of blood-borne illnesses? While I was there, the employee doused the tools with a liquid, but it didn't smell like alcohol at all. I wish they had a proper way to keep their tools sterile if they are touching people's nicked and bloody brows with them. Unfortunately, I won't be coming here again. read more

Shapes Brow Bar - Both brows were nicked. - Makeup Artists Near Me - Burbank, California

The staff was less than welcoming when I walked in, despite them being pretty empty when I got there, and were unprofessional. While in the middle of getting my eyebrows threaded, one of the other workers came up to the woman who was threading my eyebrows and started gossiping and talking poorly about other people - and stayed talking the whole rest of the time! It was highly uncomfortable, especially for something where I'd like them to be paying attention and not passing along gossip like bored high schoolers. I've used Shapes in other areas but I won't return to, or recommend, this one. read more

Service was sub par.. I asked for my brows threaded and the person doing them was more concerned with adding powder to fill them in instead of threading and arching like I asked. They did not not come out to my liking at all. Sorry, I won't be returning. read more

They have horrible service. Need more training. There was no one ahead of me, 2 employees standing around and 3 behind the counter. No acknowledgement or sorry for the wait. Mind you i signed in. read more

Haven't been at this location in over a year, and randomly they are auto-charging my credit card. I call their number provided and it's disconnected and check out the other reviews of scam, charging without services rendered! What a joke this place is; I should turn off auto-pay to monitor future scammers! read more

This place was great. Keyword: was. Often times if the right workers are there you will leave feeling great, and take selfies all day of your new brows. Some days you'll leave asking should I ask for a redo, why did I come here. Lately it's been the latter. Today was the worst experience. The lady simply sat me down, told me to extend my eyelid and she threaded the eyelid. That's it. My eyebrows weren't even threaded or touched! I still left with a unibrow. The lady only took 3 minutes and said she was done. Normally when they're done they'll hand you a mirror and see if you like it. This lady didn't. I stared at her thinking she wasn't done, and she was like "I'm finished go." She's probably new because I never seen her before. But honestly, once I find a better spot I'm definitely never returning to this place. read more

Quest in canceling my membership: - They charge me on the 25th of every month. I called October 20 requesting to cancel my membership. Customer service rep took down my name and credit card number and assured me my membership is now cancelled and I would no longer be charged. - October 25: I get a charge on my credit card bill from Shapes Brow Bar. I call again on October 28, same rep apologizes, tells me he'll put a refund in and it'll be credited back on my card in a few business days. - November 4: Still no refund. Call back, rep tells me he's busy with something and will call me back in 30 minutes. 3 hours later, no call back. I call again, (different) rep checks on my refund status, says he will put in a refund request and it should show up on my card in a few days. I asked why previous guy never called me back, rep says "he was busy with something." - November 6: finally get my refund. Had my credit card company block any future charges from this merchant, as I don't trust that they won't charge me again. Super, super unprofessional and shady business. If you love the person who does your brows here, go to them but pay cash. I would highly advise against giving this place your credit card info! read more

Went in on a whim after I couldn't take my overgrown brows anymore. This place was close to where I was but I don't usually come here. Initially, the threading wAs quick and painless and I thought "wow, she's doing a great job" because it usually hurts a lot more if I don't go regularly. Then I realized why: she proceeded to pluck my eyebrows for longer than she threaded them. Personally I hate places that claim to thread and only proceed to pluck the majority of your brows. Maybe it's just me but it wasn't what I expected to pay for. I left unimpressed but hell, at least my brows looked better. Wasn't a total loss. I don't think I'll be back here. Ps. They charge $13 now for brows and no longer offer $1 off for paying cash. read more

I used to go to shapes brow bar all the time when they were located on the second floor of the Burbank mall. I went back thinking that it would be just fine I have never had a problem before. First it took me some time to find the place because the display now says RMLA instead of SHAPES. I was on my way out and found it and to be completely honest I regret going in. Yes eyebrows are supposed to be sisters not twins but my eyebrows look like distant cousins. The tail of one of my eyebrows is so thin and arched very differently. I will never be going back. I'll be drive the distance and going to Ziba at the galleria. read more

I used to have a membership at this place back when it was $11 a month. Over a year ago they increased the price and since I hardly used the membership at all I opted to not renew at the higher price. Now I've noticed since the pandemic they are charging me monthly payments of $15.99. I can't find a phone number or email so now I'm going to have to risk my health to go in to the mall to get a refund of $127. read more

I have never had problems when I have been here previously with the shape of my eyebrows or having extreme redness or pain. This last time I went in two weeks ago was awful though. It hurt more when she was doing it, like it was a rubber band getting snagged on my eyelid. You can see the result in the picture where it actually broke the skin in multiple places. When I looked when I was there I couldn't tell because of my eye makeup. The other eyelid was ok, but I now have a small angioma over that eyebrow that is new. When I paid the staff seemed annoyed that I just wanted to pay for the service instead of getting a gift card. Overall not standout service on any level and this made my eye look terrible for my vacation. read more

Shapes Brow Bar - My eyelid after having it threaded here. - Makeup Artists Near Me - Burbank, California

I went to a new lady , I talk to her to shape my eyebrows , she cleaned and shaped , when she gave the mirror to me I was extremely happy , she left them so thick , more than the time that I had eyebrow , it was like she put extensions in my brows . Thank you Samira , you are my bow lady now read more

Great service but unfortunately this location is out in the open on the bottom floor with little privacy. My teen would rather wait until it has a propper salon establishment to get her eyebrows done. Warning!!!!!!!!! I wanted to stop my daughter's membership so I spoke to a man that answers the phone at this Shapes Browbar location. I cancelled it in February 2018 and I was still charged in March. So, I called in March when I noticed the charge on my bank statement. He told me to wait 5 days for the charge to be reversed. 3 weeks later (3 calls later) the charge has not been reversed. I called again and was told they dont have a record of me calling 3 times. It's difficult to cancell the membership. This is really bad buisness. This is too bad because I was a member for 3 years. read more

This place was renovated so I stop going while this was happening, I went when they where it the new place and ask one of the ladies in charge how much for just eyebrows? This Armenian woman look at me like I was a weir specimen or something and she rudely olmost yell at me " 14.99 + tip" I never new tip was an obligation to give regardless of doing a good job or not so I stop going to this place , it seems like crazier people comes to "work" at this place. read more

If you have the monthly membership, here's a friendly warning . My reason for 2 stars instead of 5 is because I pay for the monthly membership 13.99 a month recently noticed for the past few months they have been charging my account twice every month . Here to warn you to check your accounts . I tried to fix it , it is a hassle have to call India for starters and the person they transfer me to is never available so be aware . I feel so scammed. read more

Shapes Brow Bar - Double charging monthly payments . - Makeup Artists Near Me - Burbank, California

I went here a few days ago to get my eyebrows threaded for the first time and they look great. It was only $11 and it took probably 3 minutes, even though they were in pretty bad shape. My eyebrows look better than they have in months, so I'm very happy with that. The only problem I had was that the women in there were kinda rude, even after I told them this was my first time and I didn't know what to expect. read more

Shapes Brow Bar - Lovin my new brows - Makeup Artists Near Me - Burbank, California

This is usually a hit or miss for me, usually on the miss side. What I don't appreciate is that they are the most expensive brow service ($11 for eyebrows) in the mall (there's two other threading places which only costs $7 for eyebrows ) but their service and quality of work is bad. The ladies are not accommodating at all and they don't even talk to you. Instead, they talk to their other coworkers the whole time. I used to go here at least once or twice a month, but not anymore after getting fed up with their service. read more

Friendly staff. I'm giving 4 stars overall vs 5 stars because one of the ladies there messed up one of my eyebrows a few days ago. : /

Review is for corporate only. The salon and technicians are wonderful but corporate office and policies are absolutely awful. If I could give them a minus 10 I would . They are rude, unprofessional and non responsive. I have sent 5 emails and made 3 phone calls asking when Burbank location will reopen and requesting a refund of my yearly package. Not one reply! When I finally got through by phone yesterday they refused to even discuss a refund and put me on hold and eventually disconnected without getting back to me. I have been a customer and had membership for almost 10 years but I will never spend another cent at this business, which is a shame since the technicians are great read more

GOT A WILD HAIR!! BACKGROUND: It all started when Reema Khan noticed a clear demand for her eyebrow shaping services. With women driving from separate suburbs to her beauty salon, which opened in 2003 on the North Side of Chicago, for a short threading session, Reema was able to see the potential. Realizing the potential and the increasing acceptance of threading, Reema explored her opportunities. Armed with her threading expertise and a mission to educate people about threading, she launched her first brow bar at a local mall in Chicago. Shapes Brow Bar is the leader in shaping your brows using the ancient art of threading. Other services include makeup for special occasions, waxing and facials. STATS: 2nd floor of the Burbank Town Center Free parking Mall hours EXPERIENCE: I've been here on numerous occasions simply out of convenience. In the P.O.T. from work to home I stop by to visit a few of my favorite stores and if I'm in need of some shaping up I come to Shapes. Typically I don't have to wait to be served, however, if I've ever had to wait it's never been more than 15 minutes. The means of getting eyebrows shaped up by way of threading is so quick and virtually painless. So much better than plucking and waxing and the regrowth time is about the same. Within ten minutes brows are back in shape and no more wild hair. Shapes Brow Bar offers packaged deals for services from five - 25 brow services or six brows & lips services that are valid for a limited time frame ranging from three to 12 months. If that doesn't work for you, you can just pay at each visit. Other services, aside from threading underarms, face and neck, include, but not limited to, body waxing, facials makeup, and Henna tattoos. I've never had a bad experience and the consistency is uncanny. No matter who does my brows, they are always shaped the same way and look relatively good....darn blonde hair that grows the far quarters of my brow line. No doubt I'll be back. read more

This review is from a guy's perspective. The list of questions I would ask anyone (male or female) considering the services of Shapes Brow Bar are: Do you enjoy PAIN?!?! Is your face (especially in the eyebrow area) fuzzy and unkempt? Do your friends use the word "uni-brow" around you so much that you are uncomfortable...like they're trying to hint at something...but you just can't put your finger on it? And if you did put your finger on it, you wouldn't know because your eyebrow hair completely engulfs it? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then I recommend Shapes Brow Bar. I am not comfortable enough with masculinity to go there alone. But I have gone twice with my wife on date nights. The ladies working there never made me feel uncomfortable. The only thing that made me feel uncomfortable were the lofty and judgmental looks I got from people who would have been otherwise bored and un-entertained with their visit to the mall. BTW- To all the easily amused mall shoppers who have never seen a guy sitting in a brow bar - you're welcome. The chairs are comfortable. The prices are affordable. The ladies at the front desk didn't get my humor. The first time I went there, I had a full beard. With a straight face, I asked how much they'd charge to thread my beard away. The answer (in a thick Armenian accent), "No. We not do the beard." Why only 4 stars if the price is good and the service is quality? Because it hurts. Pain. Pain. Pain. Ouch. E.T., where is your glowing finger when I need it??!!? (Sorry, '80's movie reference...I had to put one in somewhere). If I were totally into pain, I'd give this place 5 stars. Take it for what it's worth. read more

I noticed that this place had recently opened and stopped in for a quick eyebrow wax after lunch with a friend. I usually go to Anastasia, but thanks to the difficulty in being able to get an appointment recently at my local, I thought I'd go here just to get stray hairs removed. When I finally got into a chair, I told the lady who was going to do my brows that I just wanted a quick clean up, and all she said to me was, "Eyebrows?" So I said, yeah, just a clean up, take away the stray hair, etc. No reply. Evidently she thought a clean up meant removing pretty much most of my eyebrows. I've now got super thin brows that just don't look right, and believe me, I didn't walk in with thick, bushy eyebrows! The place was full and super busy, so either the customers have lower standards than me or they love the Marlene Dietrich look. It was cheap, but I'd say skip it. A bad eyebrow job is no bargain. ;) read more

Beyond disappointed with the service I got today. I was having a bad day and decided to something nice for myself. The girl at the counter didn't acknowledge me. From the beginning to where another fuckin customer was rude and rushed to sign up before me. Then I get in the chair the lady doing my brows did them and rushed me off the chair. I paid. And came home to see how she didn't even do a single thing to them. I literally paid for no reason. I've been coming here for about five years now and they won't get my service again. I'm sadly disappointed read more

Ratchik is THE BEST! I have tried several of them, and Ratchik is my number one. If she's not there, then Armavina is second to her, but Ratchik gets my brows and gives me exactly what I ask her for. Amazing.! read more

Ladies please DO NOT GO HERE!! I was at the mall and found it very convenient to pop in to Shapes while I was shopping. I was impressed at the amount of time that the lady took in shaping my brows. I was in the chair for 20 minutes +. Little did I know that my eyebrows were being butchered!! By the time she finished, one of my eyebrows was thinner than the other and they both started at different points and were far from symmetrical. When I complained that my eyebrows were clearly uneven, she offered to pluck some more and tried to convince me that my eyebrows were that thin when I walked in!! I was speechless... She then tried to fill in my brows with brow makeup. I am now walking around with "hardcore" eyebrows... I look like I can cut someone with my pencil thin eyebrows. I will never, ever return to this eyebrow butcher shop of horrors! read more

Sadly, the quality of service Shapes Brow Bar has been getting worse, even as their prices increase ($12 now) and business seems to grow - they've even reconfigured their store to fit in more chairs/customers. The threading is badly done, snapping off hairs instead of pulling them out, it seems, as during my last 2 visits, I realized I get regrowth in as quick as 2 days, which means the hairs aren't removed at the roots. It also seems like they're pretending to spend more time on your brows (justifying the price increase?) by using tweezers, but seriously, you can feel that they're just mucking around instead of actually fine-tuning the threading. This is my closest threading place, but the deterioration in quality is really pushing me to find something else better, even if I have to drive further. read more
