I don't really like sculpted brows so waxing never looked quite right to me. Elena takes the time to shape and wax and tweeze so you walk out with clean, natural looking brows. Perfect! read more

Elena is the ONLY person I will allow to touch my eyebrows since I first had them shaped for my wedding 8 years ago. She spends time learning what you're looking for, and carefully sculpts a precision shape without rushing. When she found out I was using retinol and that waxing could damage my skin, she instead shaped my brows - which were long overdue for a shaping - by tweezing each hair to get that same ideal shape she usually accomplishes by waxing. On top of that, she is personable, accomodating, approachable and I look forward to seeing her every appointment! I always leave with my brows looking so clean and on point. Elena is a godsend for brows!! read more

Elena does fantastic work. Highly recommend. She is truly an artist. Located right beside the bike path in Lexington.

As one of the other reviewers here noted, Elena is an artist. Or, rather, she shapes your eyebrows to make the ideal frame for your face. I can't think of any other treatment I've had that has done more to make me feel beautiful. To top it off, she is professional, warm, very careful to listen to what you want, and pleasant to be with. I can't recommend her more highly. read more

Elena is great! I've my eyebrows done a number of times in the Boston area and have not been satisfied but Elena really knows her stuff. She took the time to speak with me about my eyebrows and showed me how she was going to shape them before actually doing it which brought me some relief and gave me the confidence I needed to move forward. She did a beautiful job, shaping them so that they accentuated my face while not taking too much off. The morning after I had them done, I woke up, looked in the mirror and was like "Wow! My eyebrows look incredible." Elena is very welcoming and sophisticated. She really is an eyebrow artiste and the quality she provides is parallels the eyebrow experts in NYC. The other great thing about her is her website. She actually has before and after pictures of some of her clients so you can see first hand the caliber of her work. Her location is a bit obscure but can be accessed via public transportation. I made the mistake of getting off the bus at the wrong stop and had to walk an additional 40 minutes to her place, so a word of caution to you...if you take the 62/76 do not get off at the first Marret Road stop, which is Mass Ave not Waltham Road. I highly recommend Elena and will be returning to her in the future. read more

This isn't your $12 wax-and-go. This is a half an hour devoted to your brows' rehabilitation. Your brows will thank you afterwards! Elena not only groomed my brows, but gave me advice on where to pluck, where not to, and how to trim without butchering. She also took the time to show me how to fill in my brows, and the end result was awesome. My ugly step-sister brow now had gone through reform school, and is on the way to rehabilitation. read more

Elena is a talented and skilled expert. Her eyebrow work is the best I have ever experienced. I travel from San Francisco to Boston to have Elena shape my eyebrows. She is an artist who not only shapes the brows but considers and creatively works with the entire structure of the head and face as she expertly shapes the definition of the brows. There is a high level of professionalism in Elena's work. She is a pleasure to work with, too, and a wonderful spark of energy read more

A truly amazing experience. My eyebrows were beyond awful but after just one meeting with Elena, they look amazing. Wish I knew about this place earlier. read more

For the first time I had my eyebrows shaped and groomed. I am a mature woman who over tweezed during my teens and ended up with sparse brows and crazy growth patterns never really knowing how to take care of them. Then I found Elena. She is just fantastic, talented, and professional. She gave me great advice on how to take of my brows, products to use, and a few tips and tricks. Elena took her time and paid special attention to my needs and expected outcome. I highly recommend Elena. You won't be disappointed. Oh and as a plus she is very nice! read more

Elena did a fantastic job on my brows - they've never looked better! Thank you Elena!

I highly recommend Eyebrows by Elena, her results are nothing short of amazing. My right and left eyebrows grow very differently and one even has a scar in it from childhood that causes a gap. I was thoroughly impressed by the polished look she was able to give me. Almost miraculously she gave me perfectly shaped and softened eyebrows and even made the gap from the scar seem to disappear. I have never looked better, thanks to Elena. read more

Having moved to the Metrowest area from Manhattan, I didn't think I'd ever find high-end services that match those from the beloved salons I'd left behind. Elena does better eyebrow styling than any I've had in NY or LA!! That is *all* she does, so she knows what she's doing, there in her mod little studio. (Don't be put off by the location; her building looks like it would contain only doctors or accountants!) Wherever you are, Metrowest, Boston, or beyond, a trek to Elena's is worth the trip. read more

Elena was my first brow stylist, so I didn't realize what a gem she was until I moved to Washington. I STILL can't find a stylist that can shape my brows like she did. I guess I have pretty complicated hair growth, because no one can get the right and the left even, but SHE did. My brows always came out FLAWLESS from Elena. She is very very pricey, but like I said, I haven't found anyone else who can do what she does, so I guess she is correctly priced. If you have easy brow lines that don't take such talent/money to maintain, then maybe she isn't the person for you. But if you have complicated brows, or just don't know what would be best for your face, and are looking for a professional to help guide you, I highly recommend Elena. read more

I really feel like Elena gave me a mini eye lift. Amazing. She had me grow them out so she could reshape them from scratch. I actually look a little younger. Well worth the investment. I have had people comment on how good I look so I have to give a nod to Elena. ; ) A read more

Elena is an artist. She only does brows and spends a half hour on them. She evened out my asymmetrical brows and even though she plucked them, they look fuller and smoother, which is what I had hoped. First she draws with a white pencil the shape she intends your brows to be and shows you what she wants to do, for your approval. I learned how my brows should be shaped, which is not what I was ending up with when I used to have them waxed. When she was done she even showed me how to apply brow make-up should I wish to do so. A great experience and I will go back. read more

Eyebrow shaping is truly an art and Elena is the artist! Once you have had Elena shape your brows you will look no further. I searched for years and finally found Elena. My brows are so professionally shaped and beautiful when I leave her spa. I can hardly believe they are mine! Thank you Elena The location is also ideal, with ample parking. read more

Best Brow Beautician Outside of Boston! I'm writing this because I heavily relied on reviews to make the decision where I would ultimately get my eyebrows done. I had thought this was an eyebrow threading service at first (as that's what my entire search was based around to find Elena). Note: THIS IS A WAX / TWEEZE ONLY SERVICE I was slighting hesitant but after understanding the technique she uses, the precision taken to outline the shape, and the detail put into each hair I felt confident. She takes the time to make you understand and feel comfortable. Now my eyebrows look so much better and actually work with my face! I have been growing my eyebrows out after years of the wrong shape and will only go back to Elena to continue to make them perfect! Overall this place is definitely not for someone who isn't looking for a true professional service and is looking for a deal. Elena is probably the top of what you'd expect and is a real artist! read more

Elena took my disastrous eyebrows, rendered bald in places and uneven from years of over plucking and, literally, restored the look of my face. She takes the time to examine, draw an outline, and tweeze oh-so-carefully to create the most natural and enhancing brow look for each individual. I have never had anyone this talented work on such an important part of my face. It shows. She is an artist. I have been seeing Elena for several years now, and now my brows are just as I always envisioned them. When I think of how I started to where I am now, there is just no comparison. She showed me how to maintain them, how to fill them -- all to keep them look pristine. I am so very grateful. Her location is easy to get to, parking is easy and free too. I will not go anywhere else. I recommend her in the highest way and without any reservation. For the first time in my life, I love my eyebrows. read more

Elena has been doing my brows for more than five years. I have never had this kind of longevity with anyone who's worked on my brows. When you find someone who knows how to shape and groom brows the way Elena does, well, you don't go anywhere else. Before coming to Eyebrows by Elena, I made the rounds at a number of salons going all the way back to my 20s, and I never had much sense that anyone really knew what they were doing. Painful waxes. Too much tweezering. No actual shaping. The result at other salons was that my brows would need grooming more frequently. With Elena, things couldn't have been more improved. First of all, she truly shapes brows by drawing an outline and then carefully waxes and I don't know how--but she achieves the most pain-reduced waxing I've experienced. Her tweezer work is precise and the overall result lasts for about four or five weeks. I consider a monthly appointment to be a high priority for my grooming regimen! read more

5 stars for the wonderful eyebrow work. 2 stars for the very expensive pricing. Loved my eyebrows but have never paid $50 to get them done. It was my mistake to not ask Elena her prices beforehand. I have always paid anywhere between $12 to $20 so I didn't think it would be SO EXPENSIVE. Will go here for very special occasions but I am definitely going to find another frow stylist for my regular maintenance read more

Elena is an artist. She is a master at what she does and because of this, I've been a faithful client for years. If you want to have the best eyebrows in the room, you have to see Elena. read more

I recently had my first appointment with Elena. She shaped my brows so beautifully and they have never looked better. I'm so happy I chose to come here, and will be returning to maintain Elena's skillful work. read more

I am amazed by Elena's talent. I have been having my eyebrows waxed for years and am never truly happy. Eyebrow shaping is not waxing. First Elena does a consultation and asks you what you like and don't like, and what you wish you had. She then takes a white liner and draws what she believes will look great for your face so you can see exactly what shape they will be. She uses a tiny bit of wax if needed. I have lots of blond baby fuzz between eyes and she removed it. Everything else is done with tweezers, and she is a perfectionist. It takes time maybe 35-40 minutes total, but it is so worth it. I have one shorter eyebrow, and one has a weird scar and she made them look so perfect. I am thrilled. Yelp has her listed as very expensive, but I do not think she is at all. I usually pay $20 every 2 weeks to get waxed and be unhappy. Elena charges $50 and you only need to see her every 4-5 weeks, that is a serious bargain for what you are getting, trust me. I will ever go anywhere else again. read more

Elena is also great for tweens beginning the awkward process of eyebrow tweezing (which usually means over tweezing)...she can set the template to perfection. read more

Elena does an amazing job, my brows have never looked so good. They also last for a long time because she doesn't trim like many others do, so your brows really retain the shape. She's easy to talk to, very friendly and makes you feel at ease immediately. The only downside is the price -- I paid far more here than anywhere on newbury street. read more
