I decided to try this place out because the lady that normally threads my brows was unavailable. I was immediately seated(1 star for that) and attended to by a younger lady. I didn’t catch her name, as she didn’t really seem interested in me as a client. She was of Middle Eastern descent and wore a traditional scarf on her head. I explained to the lady that I only wanted a touch-up. I did not want my brows re-shaped. I know that there may have been a bit of a language barrier between us, but she specifically asked, «you just want a touch-up?» And I said, «yes, I don’t want anything removed from where the make-up is.» I have very little natural brow hairs left, and I have to fill in a lot of my brow shape with brow gel. At one point in time, the lady told me that I wear too much brow make-up. I feel that was an opinion she needed to keep to herself. She then proceeded to wipe off most of the make-up with a cotton ball. Then she threaded more of my brows. I immediately knew this was going to be bad. When she said she was finished, I looked in the mirror and wanted to cry. My brow shape was much thinner than it was when I walked in. Plus, the make-up was all rubbed off. I had planned to go out to do other things after this, but I had to rush home instead so I could fill my brows in with make-up again. I also had to take a pain reliever because she had pinched my skin so many times that it gave me a splitting headache. I know there are other reviewers that state there is a woman there who does good work. However, I would not recommend this place to anyone for fear that they would get the same lady I did.

I love this place! I usually come here to get my eyebrows done. They wax and thread. I never had my eyebrows so even before until I came here. They do a fantastic job. They also give you a customer appreciation card so after you pay for 7 eyebrow waxings you get a free one. I have got a henna tattoo here once and it was really cool. Me and my friend didn’t get the classic henna tattoos that they have pictures of. We asked if we could get Chinese words on our arm and the lady did it and it looks really cool! She did a fantastic job.

I heard about eyebrow threading from a few friends and after researching a bit online decided to go ahead and give it a try. I had seen a few places in Southland Mall, and ended up at Gorgeous Eyebrows by JcPenney’s, right across from Zales. They do have a kiosk in the middle of the mall by the fountain, but trying this out for the first time, I wasn’t up to experiencing it in the middle of the mall for the public to see. I walked in and was seen right away. The woman that did my eyebrows(the previous poster mentioned a mother and a daughter… I didn’t see anyone but the woman that did my eyebrows, she was maybe 30 or so) was FANTASTIC! She was very understanding with it being the first time I had had my eyebrows threaded and she was so quick. It took about fifteen minutes because I had grown them out for about a month beforehand and she reshaped them. My eyebrows look the best they have looked in months! I could have never gotten this kind of shape with waxing and it did not even hurt. If you tweeze, even between waxes, threading will not hurt at all. It is a little sharp of a movement, so you might wince and your eye will water as a natural reaction, but here I am a week later and my eyebrows still look perfect! By the time I walked to the car, my skin was not red any more, which was great because when I get them waxed, I’m usually red for at least 20 minutes afterwards. Best of all… it was only $ 10 and lasts an entire month. I will be going back!

Gorgeous Eyebrows started out as a mall kiosk in front of Macy’s, but now has an additional store location in the mall, right outside of JC Penney. The kiosk is manned by the younger lady while the store is manned by [possibly] her mother(?). I prefer the mother. I love how my brows look when she’s done. The younger lady did my brows once and she thinned me out way too much. The last time I went to the kiosk, I saw the younger lady and was going to turn right around and leave, until I saw the sign indicating they had an actual store on the other side of the mall. Also, be sure to get a customer loyalty card. After so many visits(you have to get them initialed), you get a free brow service. If you’ve never had your brows threaded before, it hurts. I won’t even lie to you. I still get teary eyed when I get mine done. You have to participate in it, too… you have to hold your eye brow area taut. Be ready to have your hand moved to where she needs it to be. You’ll get the hang of it, though, when it’s time for your other brow. They thread sideburns, upper lip, brows, cheek and chin.
