Minoo is the best! I've been coming to her for years and she's truly an expert at what she does. Her professionalism and eye for even the slightest detail keeps me returning. She's awesome! read more

She is an artist! I don't trust anyone else with my eyebrows. I have had her apply permanent eyebrow Ombre, "lipstick" and eye liner top and brow line one the bottom. so fine it simply is amazing!!!!!! this picture I posted is a Professional pic, the day after the touch up on brows, eye liner application and the lips... She is so respectful of you skin, and of your pain level. I swear she will use what she needs to to get the job done as pain less as possible. I fly to see Anchorage her from Alaska and will continue to due so. she is Absolutely a perfectionist after all that is the ONE absolute Trait you want in someone tattooing your face. I LOVE HER!!! read more

Brow Center by Minoo - valarie G. 07/2024 - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

As you can see from my review history I have been coming since before yelp was an option. Phenomenal and really shapes brows to fit your facial structure. It's a one woman show and Minoo does not mess around with getting the shape needed. My eyebrows have only gotten better with time thanks to her. Yes wait times can vary but she's worth the wait every time. read more

She is an artist! I don't trust anyone else with my eyebrows. I have had her apply permanent eyebrow tattoos and I go to her regularly for threading. read more

Update! This lady is whacked! Seriously, you claim to have given me three touch-ups for $100?!? You screwed me up! Royally! But it's a lesson learned the hard way. I'll just do my best to make sure no one else gets scarred by you! read more

*update* because I didn't know the owner replied back to my review. One, I did call ahead and I did not demand to be seen immediately. As I mentioned I waited for a long time so I'm very unsure how to translates to being selfish and seeking immediate attention? I regret not speaking up at the time and blamed partial of the delay to myself for not being more assertive. Also, she did not she would do it free of charge... so that was a lie. For anyone that reads these reviews please notice how I wrote my review (the most I said was that she as disrespectful) versus how the owner replied attacking my character. A little unprofessional if you ask me and VERY defensive. read more

So I've gotten eye lash extensions done at Brow center before (Minoo did a great job! For anyone getting extensions *anywhere* be forewarned: it's a long process and isn't the most comfortable.) Today is my first time ever getting my eyebrows done professionally. I happen to be very particular about them. Minoo's 20+ years of experience and plethora of content clients speaks for itself. Also, to be noted: the few reviews of unhappy guests were from people who were unhappy with the wait time. In regards to that I say: You will experience a wait because she is only one woman and takes her time with her work(which mind you, when it's YOUR face being worked on you'll appreciate this). Her work is excellent. As you can see in the pictures I posted, she kept the same shape as my natural eye brows and cleaned them up nicely. read more

I've been to a lot of different eyebrow salons and they have never come out looking this great. This is a small salon but I came here after lunch time to get my eyebrows threaded. One of my friends recommended this place because she always gets her eyebrows done here. No one was there so I was seen immediately. I asked for threading and tinting but Minoo said that the tinting wouldn't be necessary and I have a lot of respect for when people are honest. I would 100% recommend this place to someone who asked me where to get their eyebrows done. read more

Minoo is a perfectionist and an artist at creating the best brow shape for you. She is always accommodating and professional. I've lived in South Fl for 30 yrs. Now I'm Gainesville and going to Minoo for over a year I can say she is the best I have ever come across. So lucky Tongans found her!! read more

Appointments get canceled and getting touch ups is a real problem here. They have no problem taking your money but DO have a problem with warranties pertaining to their work. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I found Minoo on yelp and did a walk-in because I'm new to Gainesville. Honestly she is amazing. My brows look the best they have in years. I've been doing my brows for over 15 years and never has someone got all of my hair with just waxing. They usually kill me with tweezing and Minoo barely had to tweeze. I'm so thankful I found her. Very nice and professional. Definitely going back and encourage anyone looking for amazing brows to go to her, she takes pride in her work. Hard I find these days! read more

Minoo is truly excellent. She has attention to detail, great customer service, and simply the best. I've been going to her for almost five years and can't imagine anyone else touching my brows! read more

I purchase permanent make up for my eyebrows. I chose hair stokes (as opposed to completely filled in) and I am very pleased with the results. She is an incredibly talented artist. Her eye for symmetry is incredible. The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars is the wait time and little trouble I had reaching her for my second appointment (no answer a few times) She was very laid back and funny once we started the process. The total cost was $300. It was somewhat painful but I got use to it after a few minutes. I have no regrets! read more

Brow Center by Minoo - Before and After perm hair stroke eye brow make up - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE & PROFESSIONALISM EVER!!! EXPECT A LONNGG WAIT I booked an appointment for permanent brow cosmetics and sat waiting for 1hr 1/2 then amazingly was asked to come back tomorrow. I explained I was to fly out in the morning and at the time did not live there (putting me an uncomfortable position) the lady began my process of tattooing my brows. Fearful that our disagreement did not please her my process was very uncomfortable but the outcome of my brows was very pleasing. It was explained to me that I may have to return for a small touch-up so after healing I made another appointment. When I arrived I was asked to come back a different day & nothing seemed to fit her schedule for a customer that had already paid for a somewhat expensive service, waited forever for the initial service and was now being told to come back a different day after I had already made the trip because she was busy. We finally came to a day that worked but I received a text message 2 hrs before my appointment saying she had to cancel and would reschedule me for the next day. Which brings me to this very moment where my appointment was set for 6:30pm and it is now 7:45pm with me still sitting here as she even works on all of her walk-ins that came in after me for a simple brow threading. I had planned before to also have my permanent liner touch-up but ABSOLUTELY NOT after all of this. This has been such a disrespect of my time!!! Maybe she's content with just performing for her lower paid services. He performance was definitely BELOW AVERAGE for mine. read more

Do not hesitate to come to Minoo. She takes her time with you and does an amazing job. You may have to wait, but she is worth every minute. I have been coming to Minoo for 3 years now and she is the absolute best. She is an artist who knows her way around eyebrows. I have very thick eyebrows that can be difficult to shape if you don't know what you are doing. I get many compliments every week on them since coming to Minoo. I don't normally review places, but when I saw negative reviews, I had to write a review because Minoo is beyond talented. read more

Minoo is incredibly talented and super efficient! I've been going to her for all my years at UF and will truly miss her when I move out of Gainesville! You won't find a better place to get your brows done, she takes her time to make sure your brows are looking perfect and on fleek!! Even with my incredibly sparse and long Asian eyebrows she works her magic every time! read more

Absolutely love her, Idk how she could possibly have any negative reviews. She's so friendly, the more you go to her the more her personality starts to show through. The only person i trust to touch my eyebrows. read more

Made my eyebrows looked betta than they ever could! My next stop is to have dermaplaning by Minoo!

If you're on the edge of going here... do not hesitate. Seriously. This women is an eyebrow shaping goddess that will make your catapillars her master piece. Dare I say the best in Gainesville. Treat yourself to threading and then go ahead and have your brows tinted. Thank me later. read more

I had the opportunity to get permanent eyebrows done after visiting the Brow center a few times. I have gone during busy times and not so busy. I will tell you that I was impressed with the professionalism and how patiently people wait. I received excellent service and will continue to be a client. By the way MInoo did a wonderful job and I like my eyebrows a lot. My 15 year old grandson noticed and said they were pretty. She is very good at the brow services provided, and definitely knows what she is doing! read more

I've been coming to Minoo for years and she has never ever disappointed. Her prices have gone up over the years, but they're about the same as other eyebrow threading places now. Either way, she is well worth it. She spends a lot of time making sure your eyebrows are perfect and when she finishes, she makes sure you're happy with them. I always tell her what I want once I sit down and she has never made them too thin or anything. I recently got tinting done by her and I'm so happy with the results! read more

Mino is the real deal. She is talented and a perfectionist. Yes there is always a wait... There's a reason!!!

Minoo is a very warm and kind person! Ive seen her work on eyebrows and theyre always very good :) It's important to make an appointment and have like at least 3 hours open if you're planning on doing something like eyelash extensions. She works by herself and so when people come in without making an appointment, it puts her in a sticky situation. Professionally, she's amazing at what she does and all of the customers I saw were so happy with their eyebrow threadings. I really would recommend people to her for days when time is not an issue :) read more

I was wondering where the good brow place was in Gainesville. I finally found this place on a whim and while I was hesitant of only one good review I decided to chance it and I'm glad I did. The woman here does amazingly thorough work. My brows haven't looked this good since I left St. Pete 10 months ago. read more

I went to get my eyebrows microbladed. Minoo did tattoo my eyebrows.(Not micro blade) At first I was happy with the way it turned out, & she was kind. Fast fwd a few months, and now the ink barely took. I've had to go back twice and still I have no results. I feel like I paid my money for nothing and now I will have to find someone to fix what she started. IDK if it's the ink she is using or what. I'm African American. I just wanted to make other aware of the issue I had. It's nothing personal. But it definitely needs to be addressed. read more

Best eyebrow threader around, always come here whenever I can, even if it means to drive for an extra amount of time, definitely worth it she's great! read more

I just called to get a price on eyebrow threating and the woman was incredibly rude! Not only that but my sister tried going there a few weeks ago as well and the women was on the phone, the whole time while threading peoples eyebrow. Go somewhere else! read more

Minoo worked my brows to perfection with her permanent brow technique! She is the #1 brow artist in the area. She is incredibly sweet and professional to boot! If you want perfect brows this is who you need to see! Thanks Minoo for being stellar! read more

Minoo is exceptional!! I have been getting my eyebrows done for years and she is HANDS DOWN the best brow expert I have been to. The wait can get long, but it's because she really takes her time with each client. I always get compliments on my brows after getting them done at Minoo's. Cannot recommend highly enough read more

Minoo is very sweet and kind. She sanitized her hands after each customer and her salon was very clean. She also takes her time with her customers, so as the one on the chair I was pleased, as the one waiting I was getting anxious. I have been to her multiple times and every time I get my eyebrows done from her, I get compliments. The only down side is that she does not take appointments for regular brow threading, it's first come first serve! Love her work and will definitely keep coming back! read more

The cons: the owner is the only person here. The pros: she's the best! She takes her time on every person but my eyebrows look awesome. The wait can be long but it's worth it. You can tell she's good because nobody had a problem waiting. read more

My friend referred me here because she does a good job on her brows. I made an appointment for my 1st visit. My brows were really pretty but she took 2 walk-in before me and made me wait when I had made an appointment. I figured appointments didn't matter so on my second visit Saturday 1/12/19, my sister and I walked in and waited in line. There were 2 other ladies ahead of us. As she finished up with the last one, another lady walked in who appeared to be the mom of the young lady in the chair who was getting finished. The technician then turned and asked me and my sister directly which one of us was first and the "Mom" interrupted and said "oh I'm next". We were all shocked, The "mom" came in after me, after my sister, and after another waiting customer and she did not have an appointment. The technician took the "mom" next anyway. Me, my sister and the other waiting customer walked out after waiting 40 minutes. At that point we didn't want an apology, we wanted her to be fair and respectful of our time. She lost $75-$100 dollars and potential loyal customers and for what, 1 $25 client. She did a good job the first time but on both occasions she was not respectful of my time at all. We will not be going back. **Response to Owner** If you look carefully most of your 1-star reviews are for your customer service not for your skill! There was no misunderstanding. 1. The 1st appointments were made in person on December 13th for brow threading, both my sister and myself, and you wrote them down in your book next to the register! So, I guess you don't take appointments now. 2. The "Mom" was not there when we walked in, therefore we would not have known she was in line, none of us did. That's why we all walked out along with the customer who was also waiting. 3. You turned directly to us (my sister and myself) and asked "which one of us was next"? The "Mom" was sitting along the wall in the opposite direction. If you knew the "Mom" was next then why ask me and my sister?! We didn't know you could walk-in, leave, and have another customer hold an invisible spot in line. 4. Assuming you are the owner, own it and move on. If you are truly sorry, lease it at that and don't be argumentative. I don't want any type of service, discount, or DEAL from someone with your character and lack of professionalism. Going back and forth is counterproductive and you never know who that customer is. read more

She is awesome. I've been going to her for over a year now. She always does a great job threading. I even trusted her to do my brows for my wedding, and they looked great. There is usually a wait, but she is worth it. read more

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I wanted to avoid having to wait to be worked on so I figured I'd call ahead to book an appointment. The lady on the phone said I didn't need an appointment and to just come in whenever. Lo and behold, when I came in, I had to sit and wait in line for about 45 minutes before she finally got to me. The lady was rather rude and wasn't very welcoming. All she said was "can I help you?" in a condescending tone before turning back to her work and ignoring me. She never asked me what my preferences were on how I wanted my eyebrows done and I had to voice my desires on my own. I'm afraid that if I didn't then they would've turned out much worse. In addition, she never let me know what she was doing and as this was my first time getting my eyebrows done, this was very scary. Their free consultation is a joke as the most information I got her to divulge after letting her know what I wanted my brows to look like was that I needed threading on top on tinting if I wanted more shapely brows. As for her work, my eyebrows are uneven. The arch on one of the eyebrows is higher than the other, and she thinned it too much making the tinting way too obvious. I had to ask for her to use stain remover to get rid of the lines because it looked ridiculous. Overall I would give this place 2/5 stars as the customer service is atrocious and the work was mediocre. It seemed like the lady was more interested in getting as many clients done as possible than to spend her time actually working with each individual to get them their desired look. She just assumed she knew best and didn't have a care in the world for what I had to say when I voiced my fear of the brows turning out too dark or too thick. If I were to work up the courage to get my eyebrows done again after this horrible experience, I will definitely not be coming back here. read more

I have thin eyebrows that I've struggled to grow/fill in. Got Microblading done by Minoo and am amazed by the result! She's a truly gifted eyebrow artist. read more

Am very disappointed with my (microblading). I brought pictures. I discussed my expectations. I even discussed what I would not like concerning shape color etc just to be clear. And I got two different eyebrows. One high and curvy. One low and straight. Neither very pretty. She did not do any measurements, just eyeballed it. There are thick obvious lines and no hairlike strokes. Just a solid blunt tattoo. Don't know what to do and out hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Everyone I know agrees with me when they see my brows. Thought I was in good hand but clearly Minoo has bad days at my expense. If anyone knows where I can go to fix them let me know. read more

This place is awesome the wait times can get a lil but long but well worth the wait I will never go anywhere else to get my brows done. The owner is very nice and takes her time with each client. You can expect an A+ job. Very happy two big thumbs up. read more

I truly recommend this place to everybody!!! Seriously best place ever to get your eyebrows done! She's a sweetheart & a artist , she really takes her time. I've never had a bad experience with her. I've been coming to her for years now, not going anywhere. if you want great results just go to her..THANK ME LATER ! Great job minoo I appreciate it. & if you don't believe me here's a picture! read more

Brow Center by Minoo - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Am very disappointed with my lashes. I had my own strip lashes to apply and I'm pretty sure the adhesive that was used to apply my lashes might possibly have been super glue. Once the tape was removed and I attempted to open my eyes the fumes were so strong I couldn't keep them open for long. My burned and watered for a while. She fanned my eyes and told me once I get in my car to turn the air on full blast to dry the lashes and I would feel better. It was excruciating. The next morning the lashes were hard, crunchy and stiff and my eyes were swollen. I immediately began to work on removing the lashes by using coconut oil to loosen the adhesive. What a waste! I do not recommend this place for anything with such unethical practices. read more

She does very good work and I'm always happy with it however, I give 3 stars because on several occasions I've gone during normal business hours and she either was not there yet (by an hour or so) or has closed very early causing me to cross town in terrible traffic for nothing. read more
