| - This place is cheap and convenient for downtown dwellers like myself. I especially like their wednesday "brow + upper lip" combo for $11, which is a steal. That being said, you pretty much get what you paid for - a quick and just ok clean-up. The service quality depends with the person / time of day. I wouldn't go there to get my eyebrows shaped, they spend like 5 minutes on your browns to clean them up, so expect a generic, slim shape that looks OK, but not at all tailored to your face.
I've used their Wednesday specials twice. The first time, it was an older lady, who did things haphazardly with the wax. She cleaned up with threading afterward on my brows, but failed to do so on my upper lip. As a result, there were smaller hairs left that were pretty visible. The second time, I used a younger girl called Nazia, and she took the time to use threading to clean up both my brows and my upper lip after waxing, so it was a much cleaner job. However, she also made my brows too thin and with no shape, after I specifically asked for the opposite. This is especially bizarre as the first time I went to the salon to get only my brows done, she did an excellent job.
Also, I remember seeing something on their new flyer about not "double dipping". This is a blatant lie as they pretty much all use the same big pot of wax that seems like it's been there from the morning. Pretty gross if you think about it - I try not to.
Sometimes a girl just needs a quick and cheap clean up with errant hairs and badly neglected brow shapes. This place is best for that. But if you want to ensure you get the best shape possible for your brows, personalized services, or are a germaphone, this is not the place for you.
