BrowArt23

I just came from California for school here in Las Cruces. I looked up on Unilocal to see where I can go to get my eyebrows threaded and there isn’t anywhere with reviews around here.
So I was walking by BrowArt23 in Mesilla Mall. My eyebrows were messed up from the last time I got them done in California. (Lesson learned people, NEVER GO CHEAP on your facial hair!). Well here isn’t really cheap compared to California, but that’s understandable because there’s not much competition around here.
I came up to the lady working at this threading station and lifted up my bangs for her to see my brows. I asked if she can fix them or not and she motions me over to take a seat. She says she will try, and I got frightened because I finally grew out my brows and I have a wedding to attend in about a month and a half. I can’t risk getting them messed up again, I’d rather just pluck it myself and deal with the pain and inconvenience to get it nicely shaped.
It seems as though she doesn’t really ask you how you want your brows or what are your needs and concerns (so used to that in California as well). So I rushed to tell her I hate arches and points. I’d like them straight and even out. Slightly thick to thin, not too thin.
Well she definitely took her time (it’s nice when there’s no one waiting), and she meticulously cut and shaped my left brow first. I really loved it, but then the real trouble was my right brow. My right brow is slightly higher than my left and I wanted to know if she could even them both out.
I guess she really did try, and then she showed me how to fill in my right brow and sold me a powder to use on my right brow. The powder was $ 17! But it’s convenient, and I rarely go out to shop for anything so I thought I might as well give her product a try.
Threading brow was $ 12 (I’m so used to the $ 7 in California) =/​So total came out to be $ 29. Luckily no tax here!
That’s my background info.
3 stars for customer service since I didn’t really feel that welcoming vibe (I literally stood there checking out her tiny booklet of pricing for at least five minutes before she finished a customer’s brows, the girl’s transaction, and then finally motion me to her chair) or establishing a connection for future returns.
3 stars for her work because in the end my eyebrows turned out to be what I was afraid of… one is thinner than the other side and the other side is higher… sigh.
3 stars for pricing (full face is $ 12 — eyebrows, $ 8+ — upper lip, $ 8+ — chin, $ 8+ — Neck, $ 20+ — partial face (sides only), and $ 38+ — entire face… again, I’m really used to it being cheaper in California and if they charge $ 11 for eyebrows then you’re most likely to be satisfied.
Would I come back here? Probably not…
If anyone know of a better place, please let me know! I don’t mind driving an hour for it too if the place is of better quality!
