Express Eyebrow Threading

The left eyebrow looks great. The right eyebrow looks great.
. They just don’t look the same.
Disappointed, particularly since there was no time crunch, seeing as no customer was before or after me.

The woman who threads here is the BEST. I have made make the mistake of going other places and have paid the price. Lesson learned. I don’t care if my eyebrows have to look like two caterpillars on my face. I will wait until I can get here to take care of it.

Sara is great and very easy to talk to about what you’d like. I will not bother doing my own brows now that I have her:) Be nice and leave her a tip and I am sure she will do an awesome job for you too. Best to take the Metro to Pershing Square exit and walk around the block to Broadway or if you must drive, park across the street in one of the flat rate lots along 3^rd St. which are cheap and easy.

I was skeptical about this place but I’m glad to say I went in! I was serving jury duty & walked over to GCM for lunch. Along the way I saw this shop and decided to check it out. I’ve always wondered about this process but never brave enough to try. The nice woman working here saw me looking in and asked if I was interested in having my eyebrows done (I did need them waxed). I hesitated and she asked if I had ever had my eyebrows threaded. I said no & started to walk away but she said «you know that threading lasts longer than waxing and less irritating on the skin?» Props to her for saying that because the next thing she said was that it takes 5 minutes and if I wasn’t satisfied with her work and the process she wouldn’t charge me. Bingo! The next thing I knew I was sitting in the chair having my eyebrows threaded (1^st time) ad she took about 6 minutes. The price was very reasonable and I will definitely go back again! She’s a great sales woman and kudos to her for her ability to convince me and make a sale and keep her promise to a customer!

Location: right across the street from GCM, parking is difficult. She has a place inside of a salon.
Threading: Sara is a lovely lady; is polite, makes small talk, etc. She listened and adhered to my specific requests for my eyebrows. Furthermore she showed me how to fill in my brows after, and sold me the products she used on me. I had a very comprehensive experience. I paid $ 20 for threading, brow powder, application brush +tip.
I’ve been to several threading places in LA and many simply thread the way they know how, with few actually tailoring their skill to specific eyebrow shapes.
Thank you, Sara!

Sarahs the BEST! She is no longer at grand central market, her new address is 318 s. broadway st which is just across the street frm gcm. I have been going to sarah for 3 years! I will not let anyone else touch my brows but her because we all knw we can’t afford to mess up our brows! She is sweet and precise. She is also less painful then other brow artist in the past! Take a chance on her u will not be disappointed!:)

First time getting threading done and I was very pleased at how quick and painless it was. Best part? No gooey leftover wax on my face! My brows look wonderful and well groomed. Glad I found a well priced and convenient place close to work. Will definitely be back.

Quality:
I cannot say enough good things about Sara’s work. I’ve been getting my eyebrows threaded for fifteen years all over the country, and I have to say she is my best experience all around — quick, painless, and perfect shape every time.
Experience:
She has a heart of gold. She will care about you and remember the things you talk about.
Pricing:
Extremely affordable. Cash only, but she has an ATM machine outside the store.
Scheduling:
She’s generally been available for walk ins, has worked around my schedule when it wasn’t easy for her, and has been very understanding of rescheduling.
Parking:
Easy. Park at Grand Central Market across the street ($ 2.00 for 90 minutes). Later in the day, metered parking on Broadway near her store is pretty accessible.
Bottom line:
Perfect brows that cost less than your lunch.

I love Sarah. She always does my eyebrows perfectly :) And now there’s parking in front and right across the street (they used to be yellow zones only). She is super fast but has a great wye, making your eyebrows symmetrical. She also very affordable. If you want perfect brows you should get them threaded.

Man this lady is the bomb! I have to come back here. Super efficient and great work. My eyebrows looked amazing. And she cleaned up the hairy nonsense I had all over my face. She understood my Punjabi girl problems with being a monkey. Love her and very affordable compared to the prices I pay out in ventura county. Whenever I’m back in D-​town I’m going to her.

I hate to do this but Sara’s work just isn’t as good as it used to be. I stopped coming here for a few months because it just wasn’t convenient anymore. I don’t know if she was angry today or something is going in her life but my experience today was bad.
I’ve been getting my eyebrows threaded for years and it’s always been painless but not today. It really hurt when she was doing my eyebrows. Upper lip was even worse. Her string even got caught on my nose ring which has never happened to me before. She wasn’t kind today.
When I got home, I saw that my skin was still red and she cut me two times on my left eyebrow and once on my upper lip. My eyebrows are so uneven. My right eyebrow is significantly thinner than my left. She missed a lot of little hairs on my left eyebrow. It’s like she didn’t even care about what she was doing. I’m very disappointed and I wish I had just waited an extra day and gone to my new place.
The price here is great but it’s like they say, «You get what you paid for.» Sadly, I will not be returning. Hopefully Sara gets back into her old groove.

She’s a pro with threading, and she charges a very reasonable fee. She’s quick and does her best to shape your brows how you want them.
Remember that it’s cash only and it might be a little difficult to find. It’s not a bad idea to call ahead, either. When I got there, she was on her lunch break so I didn’t know what to do while I waited.
Anyways, she’s great with service, so definitely give her a try!

I just recently moved here so I got lost, but Sarah came out to the sidewalk to help me find it! After sitting down, she asked me what I wanted and she got right down to business. After she was done, I was pleased to see that I had two eyebrows and not one long one. She did an awesome job and didn’t tear up my skin doing it! I’m glad to say, I’ve found my new threading spot! I will definitely be coming back :-)
Like other Unilocalers mentioned, CASH ONLY! Oh… and she’s located across the street from the Grand Central Market, not in it. I was wondering around there for a good 5 – 10 minutes before I realized I wasn’t in the right place.

I hate not being able to give 5 stars to small businesses, but this experience simply didn’t meet my expectations. I have VERY thick and hard to manage eyebrows, so threading is my go-​to option. I have been to a number of different threaders around the country and I routinely get my eyebrows threaded. I’ve had a variety of experiences, but I consider my eyebrows the ultimate test of how good a threader is because of how crazy they (my eyebrows) are.
After using other Unilocal-​ers reviews to find her new location, across the street from Grand Central Market, Sara (h)? was just packing up as I came in. [Side note: you can buy something at GCM for $ 10 or more and get validated or find street parking.] She graciously waited for me to get cash out of the ATM out front. [Another side note: it is not the best place to use the ATM, but not having cash in advance was my fault, as I had read the posts about being cash only.] She asked what I would like and I asked her to just shape my brows, but leave them as thick as possible (I look terrible with thin eyebrows).
I don’t know if I’m super picky, if she was in a hurry to leave for the day, if there was miscommunication, or if there was another issue but I wasn’t happy with the finished product at all. Usually threaders will thread for the shape, pluck strays, trim your brows, and ask if you want them filled in. She didn’t do the last three steps and, to me, those steps are what makes threading your brows and getting them shaped worth the extra hassle.
Sarah was super friendly and the cost is extremely affordable. If you have thinner eyebrows that don’t need a lot of work, then you might have better luck than I did. I won’t be going back, but try her out yourself… she might be perfect for you!

Great price, CASH ONLY, fast, and precise! Read the reviews, decided to trust Unilocalers, and excellent result. I think she only took less than 10minutes for my eyebrows, the result, perfect eyebrows! I would definitely recommend for anyone that’s ever been skeptical of threading. She does a good job, really ya’ll!
Oh, try taking the subway or something… driving can be inconvenient. On the subway you can lounge around the area and see the different improvements in Broadway, plus less stress from driving and looking for parking.

I tried this place for the first time today after my friend kept trying to get me to try eyebrow threading. Note– call ahead to make sure she will be there if you’re coming early– I did and she said she was going to be in a bit AFTER nine am. She was really nice and did the job QUICK– I couldn’t have been there for more than 7 minutes. My eyebrows look great. The pain wasn’t too bad– less painful than waxing or at very worst, equal pain level to waxing, but it goes by so fast that it’s preferable. Plus, if you break out from the wax, well, here’s your solution.
8 $ for brows, right across the street from Grand Central Market and a parking structure.

I want Sarah to get more business because my brows have never looked more perfect thanks to her. Tip: come here Saturday mornings. She’s not busy so let’s make her.
Very affordable. I love this location simply because after a tearful (but very worthwhile) threading session, you can just cross the street to Grand Central market for some comfort food or check out the mesmerizing Bradbury building (where they filmed the last scene of 500 days of summer). So if you’re going down Broadway from 3^rd, you will find Sarah’s shop in a nondescript beauty salon shortly after Bradbury — it’s on that block. Telling you this because I got lost last time. When I found it, I have been coming back for perhaps a year now.
Get em’ brows threaded!

Awesome and quick threading. I’ve been coming here for almost a year now, and the service is always perfect. The lady who runs this business is very friendly and accommodating. Sometimes I’ll call right before she closes and she’ll wait for me! Super convenient.
Only $ 12 for both eyebrows and upper lip. So cheap!
NOTE: She has moved from her original location. She is now located right across from Grand Central Market on Broadway in a little hair salon.
Perfect for a quick touch up during your lunch break!

I love my brows.
It’s weird how clean, trimmed brows can make a person feel like a super star but after my visit at Express, I indeed felt like one.
I’d been meaning to get my eyebrows threaded for a long long time but I was constantly scared off by mixed reviews, heft price tags or geographically undesirable conditions of a lot of businesses. Well, let me assure you that you don’t have to fear any of those if you go to Express for threading.
For $ 8.00, I chose the type of style I wanted from a display board, and in less than 5 minutes, I got exactly what I asked for. And my brows are difficult to deal with (because I have a small scar running across my left brow so it has a tendency of growing unruly and unevenly), but Sarah had no problems making them look even and clean. Plus, she was SUPER friendly, humble and easy to talk to, which is great because I felt at ease with her; brows are a pretty sensitive and important feature on the face and I don’t want to trust myself to just anyone.
I’ll be back again to keep my brows in check! ;)
Notes:
1. The currently listed address is incorrect. Make sure to input: 318 South Broadway Street, Los Angeles, CA. 90 013 into your GPS. The zip code 90 013 is key! Otherwise, you’ll be going the wrong direction!
Express is inside a salon called Goleth Beauty Salon which is located across the street from Grand Central Market. And for some reason, Unilocal won’t change the address to the correct one… Hummss… :(
2. Cash Only!
3. If you are looking for parking, try parking at GCM, purchasing produce and getting the ticket validated afterwards. I did not try this out myself but this was something Sarah suggested I try the next time I come around.

Honestly, downtown is pretty shady and can be very dangerous if you’re not cautious, so I try not to lurk around too much. But I do go there simply to get my eyebrows done. I mean, if it’s not worth it, I wouldn’t even bother with going out of my way to ride the subway to this talented lady.
I’m Korean, so I obviously was not blessed with perfectly shaped brows — nevertheless an arch. But she was able to work a miracle and create them to look attractive and natural.
Aside from that, the price is just something undeniably appealing to anyone. This is the one place I look to, to get my eyebrows done — maybe in the future I’ll treat myself to henna or lashes! yay for future me
All in all, a place with these prices for the satisfying end result and a really friendly owner is definitely one to check out.
