I've been coming to Ulta for awhile now to purchase products here and there and I have always been happy with this location and the customer service. This review is based on my experience for their Benefit Brow Bar.
Let me just tell you upfront I have have terrible, unshaped, over plucked eyebrows! I'm a 90s girls who went crazy with the tweezers and honestly just never fixed them. Ha! This is the first time I have ever had anyone mess with my brows and honestly thank goodness that I did! Last time I was in Ulta buying perfume I talked to Nikita about having mine done and she told me to come in and see her when I was ready.
I finally took the plunge and walked in on Monday afternoon and went to see Nikita. She is seriously like a brow wizard!!! I mean, I didn't realize that having decently shaped brows could transform your face so much.
So here is the process. I went in for the works because honestly I needed it. She started by meticulously looking at your face and deciding what shape best fits your face. She then draws that shape on your eyebrows and waxes around it. I honestly didn't think it was possible to shape my already thin brows but Nikita managed to do it and they look amazing!
I have dark hair so I did not need them tinted but if you do it is an extra charge. So after the waxing and tweezing I wanted to learn how to fill mine in so I still have a natural look but a bit fuller. I'm very low maintenance with makeup so if I can't do something in 5min in the morning before work I don't want to be bothered with it. Honestly the Benefit brow pencil is super easy to use. It also matches my hair color exactly! She gave me different options to use and we tried different colors but the pencil was what I liked best in a #4. So after I picked what I wanted she wiped off the other products and gave me some nice brows to walk out of the store with. I also must say the Benefit brow setting gel is awesome! It really does last the whole day.
My total bill was $72 and that included both the pencil/spolie and the setting gel. Plus they gave me a feee gift of lip stain. It seems pricy but it was all worth it because I honestly left feeling pretty damn good about myself.
I'll be back in the 3 weeks to see Nikita because I'm never touching my own brows again after this. She was awesome and gave me a great experience! Thank you.
