Brow Studio 7

Oh thank you, sweet Jesus, eyebrow threading exists in Minneapolis! My eyebrows were feeling particularly not on-​fleek after 1 month of negligence, so after performing several online searches, my Unilocal-​y senses led me here. Normally I avoid eyebrow threading mall stands like the plague, as from experience, I’ve left with prominently uneven eyebrows with the occasional cut on my eyelid with the lady not even blinking an eye (or apologizing) before charging me 15 dollars. This is NOT the case here. Honestly, Brow Studio 7 has me rethinking that maybe mall threading stands are not so evil after all…
For all who do not know or are tried-​and-​true waxing babies who are looking for something different, threading usually pulls out hairs from the root, meaning that they take longer to grow back vs. other means of hair removal. In addition, it leaves the target area less irritated. Personally, I find threading’s pain scale to be on the same level as tweezing, as they are similar actions. The thought of waxing just pains me; I can’t even deal with ripping a bandaid off my arm until it starts peeling off in one corner. …ugh…
Anyways, back to my experience. I was greeted immediately and asked to hold my eyelids. If you don’t know how to do that, the lady will guide you, as your eyelids need to be tight for threading to work. The lady who threaded me did work slower than other threaders I’ve gone to, but I appreciate that she was taking her time rather than rushing her way into a half-​assed job. Also, just a tip: before you close your eyes, let your threader know your preference on how you like your brows to look: arched, natural, or just a clean-​up. They usually know what to do afterwards.
I wish I remembered the name of my threader, but she did a great job. I’m not normally a fan of arched brows, but the way she shaped them made my brows look more visible even though she removed hair from that area. I appreciate that she didn’t take off too much hair because nothing bothers me more than looking like I have thin, drawn-​in brows. After the threading, she even offered to give me a sample of their brow powder to make my brows look fuller. That was extremely sweet of her, and even though I did not end up buying their product, I left with my eyebrows ON FLEEK. uhmm yes!
One eyebrow threading costs $ 12, which is higher than what I normally pay. But honestly, that beats paying $ 35 for a single eyebrow waxing, which seems to be the norm in MPLS. I don’t know how you ladies do it here. Point is, check this place out! I feel like this location is quite the hidden gem and especially in a dinky place like the mall, Brow Studio 7 deserves more recognition!

Before my friend brought me here I’d never had my eyebrows threaded. To tell you the truth, I was kind of scared; however, though it takes a little longer, I find it much less painful than plucking or waxing (about the same price at $ 12) and the results are much more precise.
This kiosk is located inside Ridgedale Mall on the upper level between Macy’s and Sephora (I discovered the first one started in Stratford Square Mall in Bloomingdale, IL).
