11/14/22 Back on 8/29/22 my wife and I took a trip to Lakeforest Mall. The mall had become a dead mall, but one of the stores that still survived is Beautiful U. At the time we walked by, i saw a woman leaning back in a chair looking very bored. I did not have time to stop by and inquire about the place, but i did see massage a d waxing were options at the store. Weeks later i called the store to set up an appointment for waxing and massage only to be let down with the bad news. I was informed by the woman on the phone that massage isn't offered at this location. Okay, why the hell is it shown on your door that it is offered? I asked about the waxing and was informed waxing is done for women and women only. Wow, what a buzz kill. Guess there is nothing left that I would need at this location. read more

I was unable to located their kiosk, so made my way to their store on the first floor (near JCP) as my eyebrows were in desperate need of threading. There was no other customers in the store, so I got seated right away. The lady who threaded my brows had an odd way of threading. There were a few times where I could feel her almost grabbing my eyelashes (thank goodness she didn't!) and shook her hands up/down after every time she pulled my eyebrow hair out. The experience was weird, as she often brushed against my face. She did manage to clean up my brows nicely, though. She also managed to keep the same shape, which is always a plus. $10 to get your brows threaded. They accept CCs, but no AMEX. read more

Beautiful U - Pricing as of 6/18/14 - Hair Removal Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

A recent review for anyone thinking, oh I'll pop in lakeforest for a thread. Save yourself the trip and waste of time. Rushed threading and I could feel the job wasn't done. She finished and handed me the mirror but I knew before I even looked the job was not done. Service.. couldn't say because there was none. read more

I was in desperate need of taming my brows, and I happened across this store. Figuring my existing brow shape was still pretty well defined by my preferred eyebrow tamer- I thought I would be ok going here to an unknown. I have never had anyone thread my eyebrows that quickly. And when I looked in the mirror- I was not impressed. My brows basically look like 2 thin rainbows now... Thankfully my brows grow like weeds- so this is far from devastating- but still- it's annoying. read more

THIS WAS THE ABSOLUTE WORST EYEBROW EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE! The technician was threading extremely slow like she had just learned to thread earlier that day. I looked in the mirror and of course it wasn't what I wanted. She insisted on trying to fix them so I gave her another chance. This time I could feel my eyebrows getting messed up. When I looked in the mirror, she had taken off WAY too much from one eyebrow. She gave me a fresh bald spot at the beginning of my eyebrow in the middle of the hair that has never been touched and had the nerve to say that I did that to myself when the hair had clearly just been removed. She said she would fix everything but, if I would've let her continue, I would've had no eyebrows by the end. I had been growing my eyebrows out for 2 months and the only reason I went to this place was because I had last minute plans and my regular eyebrow lady was unavailable. WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. I guess they save the worst technicians for the last hour of business. read more

I always go there to get my eyebrows done by Jayshree She is extremely good and I do recommend her anytime anywhere read more

Turn around, go somewhere else!! CAUTION! Very disapointed. Been growing my eyebrow for a month to get them thicker. Go to this place because it was conviniently at the mall. Asked the lady just for a clean up, keep it long and thick. What do i get.... the short and thin...straight with no arch shape....what!!!! Dissapointed, how does she mess with my eyebrow like that... yes, i did pay, because whats done its done.... but I am full of regrets!!! Definetly NOT RETURNING.... read more

I am disappointed in how my eyebrows were threaded. I'm especially upset because of I told the lady just to clean up the edges and she ended up making my eyebrows thinner. You don't mess with eyebrows like that. You just don't. Now I have to wait for them to grow out so I can go to my regular place that doesn't make my eyebrows look thin. I expressed my disappointment and she just dismissed it. I was pleasant too. Oh well. Go the extra miles to get it done right is my lesson. read more

Well, at least my eyebrows are finally as equal as they'll probably ever going to be again. A word of caution - if you're not good with pain and/or stinging sensations, eyebrow threading is not I repeat IS NOT for you. My face was smarting for a solid 15-20 minutes after I was done. The woman who did my brows (I never got her name) was nice enough, though she didn't quite listen to what I wanted. I don't like thin brows for myself, and holy hell are they thin! To be fair though, I did ask her to make them as equal as possible. But they're still thin and it makes me kinda upset honestly. Nonetheless, service wasn't too bad. They're not the absolute friendliest but it's not like the Cold War in there either. $10 for eyebrows which is decent I suppose. I might be back read more

Everytime I come to this place, I have the best experience getting my eyebrows threaded. Now let's make this clear, there is only ONE person who can do them well. Her name is Rashmi (I'm not sure if I spelled that correctly), and she is awesome! I will warn you, do not go to anyone else. During one visit, I let the other young lady thread my eyebrows. My rationale was, "Hey, Rashmi does a great job, she should be somehwere near that level if she works here." WRONG! If you are rushing, please wait for Rashmi, or else you might leave crying. I'm not kidding. The five stars are not so much for Beautiful U, but for Rashmi. So my point is, ask for Rashmi! She never disappoints (me)! read more

It's only $10 for threading and I always throw in a $1 tip. I hear really good things about Rashmi but the two times I've gone I had another lady do the job because Rashmi is not there on Tuesdays. I'd say it was pretty decent threading job. I've had better but I didn't want to go down all the way to Friendship Heights for my usual. I'd keep going back if I was still working around here or just in the area. read more

I've gone here twice and have had 2 different people and they both have done an amazing job! The first time I went was right before my wedding and was super nervous because I had never gone and the lady that did my eyebrows did such a good job I was so glad I went. I went the 2nd time and had a different lady and I explained to her what I wanted and she did just that. I wish I knew their names but I'm the worst at remembering names. I would def recommend. The only thing was that the 2nd time I went the system was down so I had to go get cash out but luckily it's in a mall so it's convenient haha! read more

Can't beat the price. The trolley drives right by the kiosk, so make sure you're not in the way! It's also out in the open, so people can watch your threading occurring. If they put a screen out, I would go all the time. The lady I usually go to is more expensive, but I'll pay more because it is in an enclosed space. read more

The tech did a horrible job. She went super slow and I could feel her messing up my eyebrows. She took off way too much on one side. And didn't even clean them up all the way. I should have done a better job checking in the mirror when she showed me. She spent all that time on what? I have scratches under my eyebrow from her threading. Worst service by far. Would not recommend. I would love to receive my money back. read more

Update- Unfortunately Usha is no longer at Beautiful U in Lakeforest mall. I do not get my eyebrows done there anymore.

The lady who did my eyebrows was so concerned with speed that she ruined my eyebrows. She literally did the exact opposite of what I asked for. What's worse is that I had a wedding to attend and had to work a miracle with an eyebrow pencil. Don't even risk it! Don't bother! read more

When I tell you Jayshree got my face all the way together!!!! Yassss!!! Seriously, I came in with extremely dry skin and she gave me the best facial ever! She was extremely informative about how I need to take care of my skin in between facials and she offered some great products! Now don't get me wrong she was not a product pusher at all, But she really was the most sweetest informative great skin having esthetician! Yes, I was totally in tears during the extraction but that after results was so freaking worth it and I would do it again and again to get these results on my nose and chin. I thought that she really took her time end it even seem like I got a bonus massage for my neck and face so if nothing else the results that I have witnesses and the extra bonus massage hands-down the best! Thank you, thank you!!! #RepeatCustomer #StandingAppointment read more

I got my facial done by Jayashree and she was very good! Best place for dermatology facial.. she cleaned my pores very well and neck massage was too good! Very professional and the place was clean!! read more

DON'T GO TO BEAUTIFUL U for treading or possibly any other service!!! I went for eyebrow treading which I have had done before, the technician over did my left eyebrow & left me looking patching on my left side!! She then said," I forgot to tell you your eyebrows are thin and that's how they ended up looking." FYI I HAVE HAD THEM DONE BEFORE BY OTHER BUSINESSES AND NEVER HAVE THEY SCREWED THEM UP OR SAID MY EYEBROWS WERE TOO THIN!!!!! I asked for a refund and it took over 30 minutes to get "authorization" and just so you all know it hasn't posted as a credit on my bank account yet! I'll be filing a claim tomorrow. read more

If you want to get cleaned up (threading) go see Nida! She is amazing and she does quality work. She takes her time and pays attention. I have been a loyal customer for over a year now and she never disappoints. She always lets me know kindly what I need to do and then takes care of it! She's amazing and I love her! read more

Iffath is the BEST. She does an awesome job. 5 stars for her. Took two stars off because, once when Iffath wasn't around and since I was in a rush, I got my eyebrows done by another beautician(Jayashree). She totally messed it and even left a gap. I had to wait for my brows to grow completely and finally got it fixed(By Iffath again). A good place as long as Iffath is your beautician. read more

This review's for Usha! I used to go kind of regularly, but haven't been in the last year. The second I walk in she recognizes me and immediately has a big smile on her face greeting me and exclaiming how we haven't seen each other in a while. I've gotten lash extensions and eyebrow threading done by her and she's really great. She's gentle with the threading, and I have a very low tolerance for pain. She's patient and thorough with the lash extensions. She gives a really natural look and really listens to what you want. read more

Can't believe they are still in business with customer service like this. Not friendly. And screams in my ear while talking to co worker. Really bad experience. read more

If you're at the mall and are in need of a quick eyebrow threading or waxing come to see Usha. She is a master stylist and does a fantastic job. read more

Eyebrow wax makes me break out so I switched to threading a few years ago and am so happy with my choice! I have gotten my eyebrows threaded here numerous times over the past few years and am always very happy with the results. I have had them done by many different people and always love the way they look! Their prices are great and they always have plenty of staff, I don't think I've ever waited more than 5 minutes when I walk in. Lake forest mall has a very bad reputation but this salon is close to a main entrance and is always very clean. read more

This is where i go to get my eyebrows/facials done. This place specializes in THREADING not waxing. I always break out really bad from waxing so i thought i would try threading out. Let me first say that it is extremely painful and every single time i have gone there my eyes water and it streams down my face. but it is worth it. they thread your eyebrows to give them a very natural look. when you get your eyebrows waxed the people generally don't care about how you look and just ask "thin or thick." At Beautiful U, they thread your eyebrows just cleaning up the areas around your natural curve. I have gotten a facial there one time before my wedding and i will say the girl went way too far up on my cheek where it was totally unnecessary to thread and i ended up breaking out really bad. i remember asking "do u really need to thread my cheek?" she said "everyone has hair there." and i said "do you get that part threaded?" and she said "no." despite that i am a huge fan of this place and recommend that all my friends convert to threading vs waxing. They also do make-up i believe but i have never had it done or seen the results. Also it is only $10 for eyebrow threading and they never ask or expect a tip. there is not even a line on the credit card receipt to but a tip even if you wanted to. Facials are $30 and they also have a card where after like 5 or 6 eyebrow threadings you get the next one free. read more

The wax lady was late BUT it was worth the wait because she made sure tools, towel, etc. were clean/sanitary. She also took her time waxing, and checked to be sure the brazilian wax she did was perfect. read more

i went here a few times just to see which girl would do well on my eyebrows and i did not like any of them at all. everytime one of them did it, one eyebrow was too thin, too short, or just not matching. i know when it comes to eyebrows, they're like sisters they aren't suppose to be the same but it was just terrible. I've been using caster oil to help my eyebrows grow thicker and fuller since they're so thin!! read more

Ifath did a wonderful job on my eyebrows. She consulted how I would like my eyebrows to be shaped, which very few beauticians do. She was patient, careful and sweet. Would totally ask her for next time. read more

My best friend and I came in to get eyebrows threaded and we loved it! it was her first time and she was so happy. The workers wee nice and attentive and the woman who did ours was attention to detail. I would say much more gentle and less painful than brow23! I like little shops like this they are more personal and I will come back read more

I love the way Shobha takes care of me. Have gone there for eyebrow threading and also for head message. It was the best experience.

Just moved from the U.K. And needed to find a threading location. Quick, painless and $10. Perfect!

Horrible!! Only went there because my usual eyebrow place was closed. Regretted it! The girl working there is rude and unprofessional. Would never recommend this place to anyone. Will have to wait weeks to get my brows to overgrow so they can be shaped again! read more

I really Love how Usha does my eyebrows. I have thick eyebrows and I only like to have them cleaned without altering their natural shape or making them thin. Since the first day I went to her, she did exactly what I asked for. She enhances my natural brow! After many years I finally found someone whom I feel very comfortable with knowing I will get exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks Usha!!!!! Definitely recommend her to everyone! read more

I come here frequently. However, yesterday I waited 20 mins to get my eyebrows done( which is fine, therr was a line). What wasnt fine was that some man walked up to the worker and began telling the waitung customers, they had something to do. The shut down the store and walked me to the main shop, where I had to work again. I WAS PISSED. I had something to do as well. If the workers are more comitted to their social life than customer service, they may need to find another job. read more

I've been coming here for years to get my eyebrows done and they never disappoint. They are professional, clean, and always do a great job. The prices are reasonable and all of the ladies are good. You won't be disappointed! read more

Do not go to this place to get your eyebrows done. There are much better places in MD. I have always had my eyebrows threaded without a problem, but the lady who did mine had no idea what she was doing. I asked her not to take off too much hair & she did anyway. I looked like I had nothing left. She was not apologetic at all and her Indian boss who was eating his lunch in the front desk did not care to apologize either. Do not waste your time or money there..... read more

don't go here. first I asked the woman if they did eyebrow tinting which it clearly stated they did and she said no. then after she was done she handed me the mirror I was NOT pleased, she missed an entire row of hair and when I asked her to get it she said no because she had already done her "clean up" WTF. Terrible service read more

Price is reasonable but I guess you get what you pay for. I told her I didn't want my brows thin she said OK. She kept threading more than I thought was necessary and then when I looked at the end they were too thin. I told her and she acted as if she had no idea what I was talking about. Totally disappointed and I am in a wedding in the next couple of days. Now I need to let them grow back in for about 6 weeks. read more
