If you pay to get your eyebrows cleaned and it isn't through this hair threading method...you need…read moreto get with the program! The technique is smooth, simple, and very quick. Unless you are waiting in line, you are there for 5 minutes, tops. No hustling to get other services either (I hate that. Though I may add, the manager, a male, convinced me to get a membership... but I hate tweezing and there is no way I can tweeze the furry patch I have above my brows... they do it for you!). I felt unlimited cleaning for a year, 11$ a month, was well worth it, so I became a member. Since then the price has gone up :/ :( This location has friendly threaders (is that their job description?) 2 girls in particular do an excellent job on my brows, they know exactly what my eyebrows need just by looking at them! Once 1 of the girls noticed my previous visit took too much off (how did she know!?) They are GOOD that's why. They don't strike up a conversation is why I don't know exactly the days my 2 favorite girls work. With my 1 year membership, I've had at least 2 painful experiences and needless to say, that girl is no longer employed there. *I have to add, you will need to hold your eyebrow skin with both hands during a session, so if you didn't shave or wear deodorant ... well I'm always concerned about that! *Also, they hold the string between their teeth -it's weird but that's the technique. It doesn't hurt but if you have been tweezing you know that familiar sting... but best part is, it's a gentle stroke, and not concentrated on one single hair.

Shapes is located inside of the Gurnee Mills shopping center -- it's actually a mall kiosk and is…read morelocated near the Radio Shack store. The nearest mall entrance is by TJ Maxx. It doesn't take too long to park, walk inside and find the brow bar. Eyebrow threading is the service I went in for. Price was $10 and you can tip on a credit/debit card. There were two ladies getting their eyebrows done when I showed up. The male (didn't get his name) working there soon finished up with his client and moved on to me. He threaded very efficiently and it was virtually painless. I was in and out in under 10 minutes. I should have given more direction on the shape I wanted because they turned out thinner than I like but at least they were even. No frills, especially compared to getting an eyebrow wax at Benefit, which is always my #1 go to. But for a quick fix during my lunch hour, this met my expectations.

I have been receiving Botox treatments for over 20 years and have also worked in the medical…read moreaesthetics industry for 11 years, so I'm very familiar with how a reputable practice should operate. Unfortunately, my experience at this location was deeply disappointing and concerning. From the start, there were red flags. The appointment took an unusually long time for a straightforward Botox procedure, and there was no doctor or supervising medical professional on site--only injector nurses. I was told to return in two weeks for a follow-up, which is not standard protocol for authentic Botox treatments from Allergan. In all my years of experience, I have never been required to come back for a "follow-up" unless something went wrong or the product used was questionable. *The owner responded that she did not find my name so I edited this review to include my name and validate this review. The name is Gregoria L and the visit was this year in May . Based on the results and the experience, I strongly suspect I was not injected with genuine Botox. When I raised my concerns and asked for a refund, I was met with complete resistance and a flat-out refusal. This was a frustrating and unsettling experience. I do not feel confident that proper or authentic materials were used, and I cannot recommend this place to anyone seeking legitimate, professional cosmetic treatments. If you value your safety, time, and money--go elsewhere. *I will be reporting this facility to Abbvie.

I've been working with Ondrea for my skin care and weight loss. I just can't say enough great things about her disposition and care. Then there's Daisy at the front door... can make you smile on the cloudiest days. You will not be disappointed.
