Shapes Brow Bar

I went to the brow bar in front of the Nike store during my lunch from work to make my day pretty productive.
To get your eyebrows threaded, it cost $ 10.
The lady that did eyebrow didn’t talk much. I always get my eyebrows threaded, but the way she did my brows made my eyes tear more. I liked the outcome of it, but noticed that my brows were bleeding a bit.
Overall, I’ll deduct points for the cost (Deepa and JP salon cost $ 8), the pain, and how quiet the lady was.

My friend got her brows threaded, I was standing next to her and observing :)
The service was quick and very affordable at $ 10. She said it hurts less than waxing. I personally really like the results on her. I only rated 4 stars (and not 5) because I didn’t get it done myself so not sure about the actual experience.

I guess I’m surprised at those 1-​star reviews too because this place isn’t bad at all! I went to shapes brow bar II and like everyone suggested in the reviews, I didn’t go to any old couple to do my brows. I went to the one in front of the Nike store.
$ 10? Not bad (FYI the ‘great nail salon’ place in that middle walkway thingy does waxing or threading for $ 10, too, and at least you do it in a private room without hundreds of people passing you by). & w00t for just being able to swing by because it was convenient for my mom & i.
I don’t know why I continue to get my brows threaded, because I honestly think it hurts like a beezy. But hey, no pimples because you touched the area afterward, so I guess that’s a plus?
Anyhoo, it was just like any experience — put some powder on your brow/​lid area, thread, use scissors if necessary (hey! mine are thick :[) and use the nice gel so they’re not so red afterward.

So apparently there are 2 Shapes Brow Bars in the Great Mall. I was in town for nerd-​con *ahem*Fanime*ahem* & forgot to get my brows waxed before I left home so I was desperate to get rid of my nasty manbrows!
I risked it & went to #2, & having previously read the super nasty reviews on this place, made sure that the old lady & old man were NOT present at the stall. I went when the 2 younger Indian girls were there & was not disappointed. It was my first time getting threaded & was kinda worried since my friend said it took forever & hurt.
These ladies were awesome. I noticed that they put cottonballs in their ears so that they could concentrate despite the loud mall noise. They were friendly & the girl asked if I wanted to keep the same shape of my brows. (Apparently you can choose another shape. That’s nuts. Keep your natural shape — it’s what fits your face!)
So the girl threads one brow super lightning quick (the only part of this is that I hate tugging on my eyelids!) has me check her work & it looks great. So she gets new thread & does my other eyebrow. In and out in 10 minutes. So awesome. The only thing about getting threaded for the first time was that it hurt for a little while, unlike waxing where the pain goes away after a few minutes. My brows look great! :]
Anyways, point is: make sure the nasty old lady isn’t there & if you’re desperate to get your brows done, this place is great!

Wow… some seriously harsh reviews for this spot! Glad that I didn’t read this before I plopped myself down in the chair or I would have definitely passed.
Was running some errands at the Great Mall to prep for a really busy week when I walked passed the Shapes Brow Bar. The eyebrows needed some TLC so after inquiring how much the gal charged ($ 10) I sat myself down. She was quick, efficient, and trimmed my brows in under 5 minutes. After a little brow powder application, I was on my merry way.
When I got home and did a closer inspection, I was happy to find that the little hairs were gone and the arch was even.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back (especially how crazy the Great Mall can get) but if I was already there, I’d stop by again.

Yes, I too am surprised about the bad reviews this place got. I was walking along the mall (first time) and saw women threading. I had been wanting to do this for months, but never got around to doing it.
First, the charge is very inexpensive. Second, I had my upper lips, eyebrows, and forehead done, and I was really happy with the result. This was my first time so my eyes got a bit watery.
Last, I will definitely go here again. For the cost and the good service I got it was worth it.

Wow, this place has gotten terrible reviews. I, myself, have always been a skeptic of places like these. I mean, seriously, getting your eyebrows, upper lips, underarms, legs or whatever else you need hairless in the middle of the mall (Great Mall, no less), you’re bound to run into some trouble… But, I was running out of time: I have an early flight to catch tomorrow morning, my face was sprouting hair in all possible places and I was already at Great Mall, picking up last minute things before my trip. I sat down, slumped and hoped that no one I knew saw me.
Luckily, no one did… except these three bratty teenage rebels who yelled something about me getting my eyebrows done because «[I’m] asian»… what THAT is supposed to mean is beyond me but whatever. They were no older than 13. I can’t wait to see what they have to say about themselves when they pop out a kid, their boobs start to sag to their knees and they try everything in their power to fight the nature of gravity. But, like I said… whatever!
I usually go to Deepa and I felt so bad cheating on her by coming to a place like this but I WAS SO DESPERATE! I was nervous because I didn’t know what shape my eyebrows would become when she was done… or if I’d even have any left. Fortunately for me, I had an experienced girl working on me and not an old, curry-​handed Indian lady like the girl in one of the other posts mentioned. This girl, I think her name is Maspeeth (or something like that) did a great job. She sanitized before she got started and was very delicate. I must admit (although, not proudly) that it was a lot less painful than Deepa. But, overall, I was pleased with her work.
I would come again but only if that same girl does it… and if I am in too much of a rush to see Deepa :)

I wish I can give no stars. This booth right in front of Group USA store. I went there not too long ago, had girls who were in their 20’s and they did a great job. I always go there and they can really shape, trim, and listen to their customers.
I was just there on Wednesday and it was nothing but old Indian women and a man. I needed it done so bad so I went for it. I always get the arch shape no matter what, I told her what I want she said she know how to do it.
First the floss keep snapping off my brows and when she was done on my right, She made my eyebrow shape round. She told me I don’t have the brows for it. Then why the hell she didn’t tell me in the first place?
I argue with her back and fourth and she told her workers in her language that I have round eyebrow to begin with. They all keep telling me that my brow was round. It was so frustrating that I told her to just clean up my left brow only.
Now I have uneven brow on both eyes.
I will never go there ever again!!!
Save your money!!! DO NOT GO THERE!!!

I guess I should have Unilocaled this place before getting my eyebrows done here. I was at the mall yesterday, I saw the booth and remembered I needed to get my eyebrows done. So what the heckk, I sat down. This lady was pulling the string soo damn hard that it kept snapping. And when it snapped it hurt like when you break a rubber band and it snaps back at you. This happened at least 5 times. When she was done, I looked in the mirror and my eyebrows did not have the same arch, thickness, it was not what I wanted nor the picture I showed her. She didn’t even trim my eyebrows. What a bitch.

I wanted to get my eyebrows done, but I was too lazy to drive to Deepas, so I decided to give this booth a try. At the end, I regretted it.
If I had known I was gonna get uneven eyebrows (both thickness and uneven arch), I would have TOTALLY driven the extra miles to Deepas. Like the poster below, I did not ask the lady to fix it, I just went home and fixed it myself.
I also hated how people would just stop and crowd around to watch you. Talk about uncomfortable. Esp if you start tearing form the plucking of the hairs. I thought I’d be lucky enough to have no one watch!
REGRET. Don’t do it.

I wasn’t planning on getting my eyebrows done, but as I was circling around the Great Mall and stumbled upon this booth, I remembered how bushy my brows were getting and ignored my inner voice yelling, «It’s a threading booth in the middle of a busy outlet mall! How can you possibly think this will turn out well?!» I asked how much it would be, they said $ 10, and I sat down.
The lady (whose name I can’t remember, but sniff out the one whose fingers smell like curry) zipped through my brows and gave me a mirror to check her work. I saw that one brow was now slightly more arched than the other, but I figured it would be better to go home and tweeze it then have her go through it again and mess it up even more. (Plus, her fingers were making me hungry for butter chicken.)
When I got home, I turned on my bathroom light and got ready to pluck away… only to find a TON of stray hairs! Seriously, there were so many left that plucking would be an hour task. Apparently the Great Mall ceiling lights don’t provide the best illumination to see these things. What a waste of $ 10…now I have to find another person to fix my mistake!
Alas…I should have known…
