This really is my go to place to get my brows done. I came here once several years ago on a whim…read more My first visit, I had my brows "mapped". As a consumer skeptic, I thought it was just a scam to make me feel like the price was worth it. But, then I saw the finished product and was wowed. The Brow Bar has had some turnover in the years that I've been going and each time my regular girl left, I'd think to myself - "Now is the time to break free from the more costly brow wax and go somewhere new." And, I did - more than once. And, every time I left those places not happy with the product. When that product is on your face 24/7 - you want to be satisfied. So, back I went to Ulta. If you are looking for a superior brow experience and result, visit the Brow Bar at Ulta. Personally - I think Betty is the best!

I love getting my brows waxed at the Benefit Brow Bar at Ulta. They do other facial waxing and…read moreother services but the only thing I've had done is the eyebrow waxing. Christie and Betty do an excellent job and they are both really nice girls. Eyebrow waxing is $20 before tipping. Believe me girls, it is worth it. Yes you can go to a nail salon and get your brows waxed for like $10, but you'll get home and finish plucking them yourself (been there, done that). At the Benefit Brow Bar I've never had to go home and finish the job. They are perfect! Once I get them waxed here I'll pluck them myself for a couple months, following the shape. Once they start getting a little wonky though, I'll let them grow in a bit before coming back to get them perfected again. While they are doing your brows, they'll teach you how to use their products so you can make them look just as good at home. They will also put some concealer on you so your face isn't all red and puffy when you leave the store. Benefit make-up is my favorite brand. I wear the lightest shade of brow zings and have been using the same one for about a year. Yes, Benefit brand make up is more expensive than say Ulta's brand or Revlon, L'Oreal etc. but it lasts a really long time and it's higher quality.

I've gone to Toni a few times to have hair extensions installed well I'm in Maine...this is not my…read morefirst experience with extensions or Toni so take what I'm about to say in this review seriously because the overpriced service and poor execution from Toni is consistent and could end up costing you your natural hair. Toni charges $200 for a BASIC sew in...legit like 4-5 tracks..no take down,no cut, no style,no wash (wash area is filthy- wouldn't want a wash)...JUST install. She gets away with this because there's only like one other stylist in the area that does sew in and not tape in extensions-anyways when she installed my hair she just braided one side then the other side and secured them together in the middle of my head with cheap rubber bands - why she didn't braid a full secure braid across and sew a knot to secure is beyond me...and I wasn't aware that's how she was installing.. so she then installed the 3 bundles of raw Cambodian 30inch hair AND double wefted the hair onto these poorly weak braids. Making is very heavy on already a weak foundation from her lack of effort... lazy -half a$$ - crook- whatever..you know what it is if you know hair. * I didn't buy this hair from Toni - I paid $900 Within 2 wks I had wefts hanging and falling out.. because her lazy rubber band method broke down after one blow dry! If she asked me if it was alright to use rubber bands instead of a proper Crochet knot I would have asked her if it was okay if I paid 50$ for the service seeing how that's a HUGE change in quality and longevity ... honesty I would have taken my hair and ran out the door. She offers to have you come in an pay a "small fee" to have your tracks tightened... but what she means is come in and pay her $30 something dollars to change or replace the 99cent rubber bands she used. My hair was already falling out... A professional install requires special KNOTS to secure the braid so the hair weft can then be properly and securely sewn to your head- NO rubber bands to secure a foundation alone period. If this is not done properly it will end up putting extra stress on your natural hair resulting in massive breakage at the root. She secured heavy long wefts on insecure braid connected with rubber bands in the middle where the most tension and weight is . SMH she's been in this business a long time and YES she's knows better - Not a rookie My hair bundles and her basic sew in service= $1150 and lasted less than 2wks AND caused substantial damage to my natural hair....seriously considered small claims court for the damage it caused my natural hair but Rona hit- And I just will never go back and sharing my true experience-save your money time and hair by taking the drive to MA CT NY and skip Toni

It feels like you've stepped into someone's home or personal art gallery (a relaxed one run by super nice, super hip people you could kick back and have a local beer with, not the stuffy kind that won't let you touch anything and watches you like a hawk as you peruse). But this is a shop. One where you can purchase (without breaking the bank, might I add) seaweed specialty foods (like granola bars, sauces, teas), seaweed and sea inspired bath and body items (DYK: seaweed is rich in vitamins, minerals, and contains anti-inflammatory properties?!), seaweed and sea inspired home goods, and more. I believe most (if not all) of their items are also local and sustainably sourced. Could it get better? YES. Because, they've got a beautiful focus on education and ocean conservation as well - so you can buy reusable, non-breakable straws, wine cups, and pints here. #beatplasticpollution As a mermaid, this has easily become my favorite store in all of Portland.

I credit every staff member for the positive experience. Staff floated around with ease, politely checking in on people and socializing with people. They were fun, knowledgable and seem to know exactly were everything was, to the location and shelf. Impressive. The staff member at the register - so nice as well. They had a lot of specials that day, discounts, combo purchase deals etc. It's a little crammed in there when there are a lot of people, so I wouldn't recommend bringing the entire family in the store, just those buying and helping with recommendations. Prices seemed reasonable for a boutique store. If my sister wants to visit, I won't hesitate to join her here for a little shopping fun.

This year I was last minute and called around the morning I was looking to get my hair done. Lo and behold, Green With Envy had an opening for me that morning! I worked with Marissa - I told her that my hair is the thinnest crap on earth and that I never get it done - and she was very friendly and didn't judge my heinous, spaghetti-string hair. She gave me a quote and we went to it! Marissa did foils for me - I wanted to go blonder - and she also gave me a cut to get rid of the dead ends. It looked SO. GOOD. I have gotten so many compliments. Her skill with color is seriously like nothing I've ever seen before. She made sure to keep it natural looking but very clearly lighter. I am so happy with the outcome. They offer tea/water/coffee when you walk in, they use heated towels for the shampoo, and they give you a neck massage before your haircut. It's all pretty baller. That being said, it's priiiiiiicey. My cut and color was $250 before tip (they charge for each refill of bleach/color, and for toner, which I had never been charged for before). Be sure to bring your credit card and ask for a quote beforehand so you aren't totally blindsided. This is a gorgeous and relaxing salon right in Monument Square with some fabulous stylists that want you to be comfortable. If you go, GET MARISSA, because she's the Kween. I'll save my pennies and go back when I can!

She always takes her time and makes sure that your cut is just right. She is a perfectionist in order to make sure you feel and look amazing when you leave. I have had a lot of hairdressers over the years, but she is my absolute favorite. Plus, she does the very best eyebrows!

I have been going there for a while now and finally decided to set up a hair braiding appointment and I was far from disappointed. I honestly almost cried because of the amazing job that the braider did. Her name is Suzie and she's an absolute professional and completely underrated. Most of the hair braiders in Maine (I've been to a lot.) have always disappointed me and have never even come close to the hairstyle that I've asked for. Not only did she have to simply look at the photo and know exactly how to do the hairstyle I wanted.... But it was so reasonably priced. She helped make my birthday an amazing day because I got to have my hair looking exactly how i wanted it! THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN! DEFINITELY COME HERE! ILL NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE.
