Perfect Brows

I love the Perfect Brows franchise but this location has turned me off. I was the only client in the shop and was seated immediately to get eyelash extensions installed. The technician had not yet finished the first eyelid when one of her customers entered the shop. Although someone else offered to help him, he stated that he was always seen by the technician who was working on me.
Without offering an explanation, my technician swapped with another. Finding that to be rude, i asked what was about (but already knowing the deal…). I was told that her hands were hurting from installing the eyelashes but she was threading the guy who walked in!
I complained a little, but then i let it go. I just wanted my eyelashes done.
When Mr Brows was finished getting cleaned up, the original technician came back to me. Now i’m not letting this one slide so i complain about the unprofessional-​ism, etc. I told them that i was never coming back and i didn’t like being treated that way.
To make matters worse, my permanent eyelashes began falling off not a full week later.
Don’t waste your time at this location. Try the one near Union Square.

I went there twice. I requested full face each time. Twice they messed up my eyebrows and twice they left so much hair on my face. The worst part is all of the scratches they left on my face. No one else has left scratches on my face before, and I’ve been getting my face threaded for ten years. It’s been three days later and I still have scabs and areas of my face that are still bleeding, I’m plucking my eyebrows and in filling them in bc they are embarrassingly uneven. These people are negligent and have little experience as aestheticians.

I’ve only been to this location once. The woman who did my brows was nice, seemed to be careful to make an evenly shaped brow. She also made sure I understood that one of my brows was thinner/​sparser than the other before she got to work. I was pleased with the outcome.
They have another smaller location on 1^st Ave around 75^th. DO NOT go there! First time I went, a nice lady did my brows but took a lot of skin. I had several small scabs. Second time, I walked in at 1 pm on a weekday. It was empty, which it usually is whenever I walk by so nothing extraordinary about that. A lady (different from the first) peers out from the back and says «Yes???» quite rudely. So I say «Hello, just brows please?» And with incredulous wide eyes she says «It’s lunch time!» I stood there for a moment expecting her to say something like «Please come back in 30 minutes» but instead she just glared at me until I left!!! The door was left open/​unlocked, there was no sign like «out to lunch, be right back» etc. I will never try that location again, even though it is more convenient for me.

I have terribly thin over waxed eyebrows and have been wanting to try eyebrow tinting for some time. I visited Ricky’s beauty supply with the intent of buying a home tinting kit, but worried that I would end up looking like Groucho Marx, so i just decided to visit Perfect Brows since it was in the area. I didnt do my usual Unilocal research, and I wish that I did.
The place is quaint, cute color scheme and looked clean enough. I was a bit put off because there is no sanitizing of the chairs. Let me explain what I mean… the chairs are all like barber chairs and for the services to be performed the client has to rest his/​her head on the headrest. What if a client has a greasy head of hair? What if their hair is dirty? I guess its not a requirement, but I think it should be. I’m a little bit of a germophobe (can you tell?) and of course I had to take a napkin out of my bag and wipe the headrest down before I got in the chair.
I explained to the woman who was going to tint my brows what i wanted and that it was my first time, so I was concerned about how they would look when done. Her eyebrows were gorgeous and I told her I wanted mine to look just like here when I was done. She was the oldest woman there and I assumed she was the owner/​boss, but didnt ask. The staff wasn’t rude, but no one was super friendly or welcoming either. I sat in the chair and was asked if I wanted dark brown in a suggestive way, so I said yes, thinking that would be the best choice. I asked her if the tint would stain my skin, meaning if she applied it on my face in the shape that I’d like my eyebrows to look if it would kinda give the illusion that I have hair where I really didnt. She said no and applied the tint. I wanted her to humor me and «shape» the tint on my brows anyway, but when I sat up, saw that she didnt. I didnt fuss about it, I figured I should just wait and see what the results look like. She asked me to sit on their waiting bench because some other customers came in for threading, and again, there was no sanitizing/​cleansing of the headrest.
15 minutes later she wipes off the dark brown tint and NOTHING. There was no visible change to my pitiful looking brows. She suggested we try the black tint and I agreed. Back in the unsanitized chair I go, and when I sat up, i noticed that this time she did attempt to «shape» the tint on my brows by bringing the tint in closer to the bridge of my nose and further out at the ends of my brows. That earned them the second star in this review. 15 minutes later the results were definitely better. I was happy that my brows looked fuller and I worried that black would be too harsh, but it worked. My «skin staining illusion» definitely made the difference. I was expecting her to do a little clean up of the stray hairs that needed to be tweezed, and given some after care instructions, but nope, she was ready for her money and for me out of her unsanitized chair. I think the fee was $ 15. The home tint kit cost about $ 12 at Ricky’s. If I had to choose again, I would’ve just experimented myself at home with the kit and some tutorials from Youtube.
It’s not a bad place, but I don’t think I’d go back there again for tinting. I chose them out of convenience because I happened to be in that area. While I was there several people came in for threading and everyone’s brows looked great afterward.

I went to get my eyebrows and lashes done, firstly I told the young lady please a need the smallest lashes BC I would like for them to have a natural look, thr young indian girl lied and put some disgusting long lashes on, I felt very uncomfortable BC I know she didn’t know what the hell she was doing, when she was finished the glue were all over the lashes, lashes looked like two rakes very spaced out, I went back to work and showed my coworkers they all told me the lashes were jacked up, I wasted my money at PERFECT BROWS, I immediately went in the staff bathroom and washed the lashes off including my real lashes, I’m home now 10pm at night writing this review BC I worked very hard for my money and to flushed $ 39 down the toilet in seconds is very hurtful, I’m verryyyy upset and disgusted by unprofessional work that I received, I could have done a better job with some lashes from Walgreen’s for $ 2.99 this experience were the worst ever, thanks for running my mother’s day weekend BC I have no more money to redo my lashes, if your reading this it would be nice to refund me back my money. Don’t go here, unprofessional and lack if experience.

I had a good experience here. My brows look great and the process was quick and inexpensive. When in the neighborhood I would definitely return.

i don’t even want to give them a star. i want to give them negative stars or fireballs pasted all over this Unilocal page for perfect brows.
i just got my eyebrows done and oh boy… I AM ANGRY! x-​(
i go in during my work break to get a quick clean up. i’ve been there before and i’ve gotten cut a couple of times but nothing where it was so infuriating because they’ve managed to do an OKAY job. and i stress okay because it was never anything that wow’d me. this place is just so inconsistent, even if you go to the same technician that it’s a real hit or miss. today, i specifically told the tech that 1. DO NOT SHAPE MY BROWS, 2. DO NOT MAKE THEM THIN, 3. clean them ONLY and keep them THICK and 4. DO NOT SHAPE MY BROWS!
tell me how, when i told her these things TWICE, she still managed to screw it all up! my eyebrows are now so incredibly uneven because one of them is not only more arched but thinner than my other eyebrow. she clearly did not listen to instructions and did whatever the eff she wanted on my face. never ever will i got there again, even if i’m desperate — i’d rather be hairy then let any of the people from this salon touch me.
and the best part? she tried to convince me that my own eyebrows were already cut short, that’s why they were uneven. meanwhile, it’s been a month since i got my eyebrows done last.
PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF AND AVOID THIS PLACE!

They can try to be a bit friendlier and spend more time on each client. They seem to rush to just get their tip at the end. Work is barely so-​so. Go here only out of convenience

I go here regularly for Brazilians. The service is always quick, and they do a terrific, thorough job. The price is great too. I haven’t gone anywhere else in almost three years.

The person threading my eyebrows was really fast and harsh! It hurt a lot and usually I can’t even feel eyebrow threading. The next day I realized I had little cuts all under my brow from where she had pulled the hairs. Won’t be coming back. Two stars because at least she didn’t mess up the shape.

I walk by this place all the time and I decided to stop in for eyebrow threading after allowing my eyebrows to grow for 4 months in order to achieve the thickness I was looking for. The person threading my eyebrows did an amazing job! She gave me the exact shape I wanted and left my eyebrows thick like I wanted. Great job!

For the price, I give this place 5 stars. It’s a no frills no privacy kind of service, I get eyebrows threaded and lashes tinted here. Very very cheap. Cheapest that I know of in existence! I. e $ 7 for eyebrow threading. Lashes are tinted in the chair in front of everyone which makes me a bit self conscious and for the convenience I just get over it. The girls in the store are lovely, there’s a guy there sometimes who appears grumpy and not very good with customers. Overall it’s a good little business in UES.

No star, worst place ever. I asked for full face treading, My eye brows looks not even, missing spots on my face & the cherry on top of it, after I left within 20 minutes, I got a Cold Sore growing on my bottom lip!!! Yuksss, I called them, no customer service and the told me to ice it !! Really … Most likely they didn’t clean there hands or use fresh tread. Never again !! Btw I’m not a newbie, I’ve done this over 10 years. Don’t go there.

Awful place. They make uneven eyebrows. Sad thing is that they dint realize it. It was so obvious. Trust me-​stay away

This is the only place in Manhattan that will touch my eyebrows! :) on top of that, I got eyelash extensions today for $ 30 and thy turned out amazing! For the price, every service you get here is great and the staff are professional. Plus it doesn’t hurt that every 7^th thread is free with their stamp card.

Went here for a henna tattoo, it faked off fast and the design sucked, got it done yesterday and it’s already faded, smh, such a waste of money

I work near this place and just popped in for a threading. They did it right away and did a fantastic job. I have thick eyebrows and I like to keep them thick. She cleaned them up and trimmed them but kept them nice and full. Great place, efficient, and friendly.

Yeah, yeah. Call me a cliché, a stereotype. I get my brows threaded. But these caterpillars need taming once in a while. And it’s worth it for $ 8 and a 5 minute visit.
That’s why I go to ~Perfect Brows~. The first time I came here, I purposefully chose this location because it’s 3 blocks from my apartment. Proximity is great, and, having sensitive skin that turns red rather easily, it’s nice to be able to run home and not scare too many children on the sidewalk. (I already do that with my regular face, after all.)
But I choose to keep going back here because it’s clean, I’ve never had to wait (though I have seen it become especially busy right after work during rush hour), and the ladies are pros who won’t roll their eyes at you when you sit down and immediately grab a tissue. Because, let’s face it, threading can hurt like a botch. It makes my eyes water and I have to take a break between brows to cry it out. (Women obviously have a greater pain threshold than men. First childbirth and now eyebrow threading. I bow down to thee.)
After 6 visits, your 7^th is free. And there’s a dish with Starbursts for the taking. I mean, heller. Free candy!
And now you know my beauty secret. Maybe he’s born with it. Maybe it’s Perfect Brows. Ta-​daaa. Ugh, who am I?

This place is great — no frills, no mess, strictly business: exactly what I want when I get my brows threaded. Even if there is a small crowd in the small small «lobby,» you’ll be in and out in under 10 minutes, looking fierce and feeling fine.
I don’t need to be coddled during my brow maintenance, I don’t need botanicals and essences of the purest deep root of the sea, and I don’t need to chat about my man troubles for 25 minutes: my brows look grody, and that needs to change, and that and only that is the reason I am here. And this is why I love Perfect Brows.
And how can you beat $ 7?! PLUS a frequent buyer card? Bomb.

I just moved to the city and was in need of a place to get my eyebrows done. I had gotten them waxed at a nail salon but did not like the way they came out. So I came to Unilocal to find a cheap threading salon by my apartment.
Which leads me to Perfect Brows. I went in on a Tuesday around 515. My eyebrows were a nightmare. I walked in told the nice lady sitting in the first chair what I wanted and she told me to sit in the last chair (4 in total with a waxing room). The whole thing took about 5 minutes. Yea, it hurts, and I actually think it hurts more then waxing but my eyebrows look great! She even cut some loose hairs and put that cold lotion on them when she was done (my fav part!). For $ 7 it can not be beaten.
I will definitely be returning to Perfect Brows.
Oh and they give you a little card and after 6 visits, your 7^th is free!
