She always does a great job on my eyebrows. Have gone to her for years and would not go anywhere else.

Gigi has done a better job than other places I've been to in PDX, but the last time I went to see her my eyebrows were uneven. I've got huge Persian brows and so they really need tender care. Also (and perhaps most importantly since Gigi usually does a nice job) she asks too many personal questions (i.e. why I'm not having another baby). When I get my eyebrows done, I don't want anyone asking me sensitive questions. I realize she may be bored doing eyebrows all day, perhaps she should put on talk radio or stick to simple, non-invasive questions. read more

Homegirl don't do wax. Nuh uh. So she was scoping what Yelpers had to say about threading and couldn't be more pleased to have found Gigi! I also scored a half-off Google offer the very next day, so double score! I was getting totally wookie up above these precious peepers, and having never handed off the shaping of my brows to someone else, I was afraid of chola brows. But nay, I look gooood. It hurts -- it's like tweezing on steroids as Gigi said -- but my sensitive skin needs the all natural approach. $20 plus some tips is a bit more than I want to invest, but I think it'll be worth it in the end! Plus it won't be so bad when I go back in three weeks -- I won't have reached wookie stage. read more

I am so excited to have found Gigi! I'm from Atlanta, where there are tons of places to get your eyebrows threaded, but I couldn't find any convenient places when I moved to Portland, and my eyebrows were a mess. Gigi knew exactly how to shape my eyebrows. I'm very picky, and she really listened to how I wanted my brows to look. She also does sugar waxing on my arms, which is great, because the sugar wax doesn't have all the chemicals of regular wax. I definitely recommend Gigi; she does some of the best threading I have ever encountered! read more

HOORAY! finally a threading option for hair removal in Portland! If you've come across this listing and have never tried threading as a way to remove facial hair, i highly recommend it!! i had never heard of the threading technique until i began to travel to India. Threading is a customary way to shape eyebrows and remove facial hair in India, Nepal, the middle east and other various Asian countries. while waxing does remove hair, it also removes your skin. and threading is like a super quick way to pluck all your hair. the shape of my brow from threading is sooo much nicer than any waxing professional has ever been able to give me. now on to Gigi's: Gigi is a super sweet atttentive woman who does an excellent job. the salon is right in the midst of NW trendy-third in Portland in an upstairs cozy salon with beautiful indian decor. Gigi takes appointments rather than walk-ins. i called on a typical day off for her and she returned my call within an hour and came in on her normal day off. very accommodating. read more

Gigi is my eyebrow hero!!! I moved to Portland a couple months ago from Los Angeles. In LA, it seems like the threading places are at every corner, like The Coffee Bean. There is a large selection of places to go. Well, after moving I quickly realized threading was not as common up here in P-Town. I tried out one place in Beaverton (will not say the name) lol, and it was TERRIBLE. The poor lady ruined my brows, so I yelped "eyebrow threading" and Gigi's came up. After reading the reviews I made and appointment for this past Saturday. Gigi hooked me up! She knows what she's doing, she was able to fix my brows to shape my face. They are not too thin, not too thick and most of all... they look natural. Very happy I found Gigi! read more

Hair removal without the use of any harsh chemicals! I'm extremely allergic to wax, as I'm sure most people are, and I absolutely love this method for removing any unwanted facial hair. Threading twists and pulls the hair out from the root so it grows back thinner every time! Gigi was very warm and inviting (unlike some other places that I have gone to for threading) and she made me feel completely comfortable while she threaded my brows. She asked what I wanted her to do to my brows, and did exactly what I had asked of her. She did such an awesome job and I'm so happy to have nice, tame brows again (for now...). Keep in mind... - Call to make an appt (she seems to be pretty flexible) - Bring cash! (eyebrow threading is 20.00) read more

Gigi is amazing! The only person that I'll go to for my eyebrows!!! I have never been disappointed!

Gigi is wonderful and cares for her clients with the utmost respect. Due to my increased skin sensitivity, I was in search for facial hair removal without the usage of chemicals - based on recommendations of my personal friends, I sought Gigi's care. She's very flexible, warm, and inviting. She made me feel comfortable and she was very accepting of my skin condition. My brows haven't looked this good in ages and I definitely trust her with shaping my brows to my facial structure. Gigi is a one woman show - managing her own books, schedule, and location. This may not be a spa-like location, but at her costs and her care - she has far exceeded my expectations for what I'm looking for. She gets the job done. Btw, cash only! read more

I went in with my friend yesterday, with no intention in having my own eyebrows done. I've been a bit unhappy with my eyebrows the last couple of days and have been interested in threading for a while now. While watching my friend get her eyebrows done (for the first time), Gigi asked if I would be interested to get mine done as well. I caved in since I felt like it would be a nice present (new job & graduation) for myself. ok ok ok, to the point! I love what she did to my eyebrows! They needed a bit of help, and now that it's the day after, I am really starting to appreciate what she was able to do with my eyebrows. Gigi was nice and engaged in conversation. It was a pleasant experience, even if I felt a little bit of pain! My friend was satisfied as well :) read more

Gigi threaded my brows last year and did a beautiful job and I completely forgot to leave her a review until now, right after leaving a review for my other eyebrow experience in Portland 6 weeks ago. I would give her a full 5 stars but I didn't like the fact that she started threading other areas of my face, like my lip and upper cheek area, and when I lightly protested, she proceeded anyway. My advice, just be firm with your wishes and you'll walk away happy. read more

Was recommended this place by my sister. Gigi is very nice and does a fantastic job. She really has an eye for people's eyebrows and tries to make sure that they look as similar as possible. I've found that she tries to accommodate to as many people as possible by being very efficient with her time and getting straight to business. Because of her efficiency, she typically makes room to squeeze people in and I've almost always been able to get the time I want. Since she is so busy though, I'd recommend walking in or calling to make an appointment because she doesn't seem like she takes walk-ins too often. My sister and I are always happy with our brows and service. We recommend her to anyone who likes to get their brows threaded. By the way, cash only! read more

Gigi is awesome. Very talented at what she does, patient and kind. She's well educated, too. Has several degrees on her wall! I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to any type of hair removal, but she deals well with my whimpering. My skin breaks out a little from the threading, but nowhere close to as bad as waxing. I just have ultra sensitive skin. It's worth it, I promise. I'd rather have a few bumps than a freaking girlstache! I don't love the lack of privacy from the room to the waiting area, but I'm still keeping this at 5 stars because I wouldn't go to anyone else if given the choice. Also, Gigi is very flexible with making appointments, which is a huge plus for me. Don't forget it's cash only. I have no problem with that at all... just making sure you know. read more

Fabulous experience! Gigi is awesome at what she does and is super sweet too. I had a great time even just in the waiting area, looking around at the beautiful decor. Gigi really took the time to understand my needs and wants, as well as learning a little about me in the process. My brows look great and I left the space feeling upbeat, thanks to Gigi's warm and inviting nature. I will be coming back for sure! read more

See all

Gigi is great. Her work space and waiting area is clean, decorative, peaceful and helps you feel at ease. The moment I walked in, she greeted me by name with a very pleasant tone as she was finishing up with another client. Very skilled at conversation while simultaneously perfecting your brows. She makes them even and uses rose water afterward to prevent breakouts. (And I haven't had one yet, unlike other occasions with different threaders.) Gigi is sweet and I've booked my second appointment next month. She also texts, so if you have any concerns or questions, she is easily reachable. read more

I'm new to the area and searched Yelp for eyebrow threading. All the reviews were spot on! One person in chair and one waiting when I arrived. Good sign that she is in demand and good at what she does. She made sure that I was happy with my brows before I walked out the door. She is located in a small room on 2nd floor right on 23rd. Not a fancy place but that will not stop from booking again. So happy I found her. Once you start threading there is no going back to wax! By appt only. read more

Needed my eyebrows done badly! In Portland for work and no one really does threading here in Wilmington, NC so I thought I would get threading done vs. wax. Left Gigi a message and she called back same day and squeezed me later the same day! Gigi did a great job! She is very sweet. Eyebrows look perfect! I even booked an appt. for when I come back in town. FYI-Bring cash. read more

I cant say enough great things about Gigi! This was the first time I had gotten threading done although I had seen it done. I didnt want to go sit in the middle of the mall and get it done, so I checked out Yelp and found Gigi. Great location, great lil shop and she is so friendly. I took my mother with me, she was previously getting waxed but since she is getting older it was really tearing up her skin, so we thought we would give this a try. Needless to say, we are both hooked, butwe will only see Gigi, we have actually already made our next appts! So anyone wanting to get it done, dont hestitate to make an appt with Gigi....you wont be disappointed. read more

WOW!!! I cant say enough great things about Gigi! This was the first time I had gotten threading done, Gigi explained the process and understood what I wanted to do. My brows and skin are perfect!!! Great location, great lil shop and she is very friendly. Needless to say, I am very happy and have booked my next appointment. I will never go back to waxing! I have already called one girlfriend while walking out the door! Do not hesitate to make the appointment with Gigi! read more

Gigi has been threading my brows for a few years now and she has never disappointed. When I first starting seeing her, she gave my brows shape and also helped them grow thick and full. She personalizes every appointment and builds meaningful relationships with her clients. Thank you, Gigi! read more

I had no idea how threading was so much better for my skin than waxing. I have been waxing my eyebrows and lip for years and didn't know the damage it was doing to my skin. As I approach my 30th birthday I am doing anything I can to prevent my skin from having wrinkles or losing elasticity. Gigi was very friendly and has such a cute place. I have recommended my sister in law to her and a few other friends. read more

I've always been afraid to have my brows done, because I was afraid I'd come out looking like I'm in a state of perpetual surprise. But I'm at a point in my life where I want to look just a little more polished, so I looked for waxing services on Yelp. I'm glad I stumbled on Gigi and threading instead. Gigi is warm, professional, down-to-earth and very skilled at what she does. I told her that I want to look natural, but better, and she knew exactly what to do. Threading was easy compared to what waxing and tweezing would have been, but it does sting a little in the more sensitive spots, and just for a second. Then it's over and you look great. I'm surprised by how a subtle change (she stayed true to my natural brow shape) can make a BIG difference in my appearance. And I'm sure someone who wanted something more glamorous would get exactly what they wanted, too. The studio is a small, comfy room on the second floor of an old Craftsman home on NW 23rd. The room is bright with natural light and is in the back, away from the hustle and bustle of the street. There's a gorgeous sari draped along the ceiling for you to look at if you want to think about something other than hair removal. Since this was my first appointment, Gigi took the time to explain everything and do a thorough job of it. It felt totally natural when she hugged me on my way out the door! She's a sweet woman and she knows what she's doing, because I feel great and no one is telling me I look surprised. People have mentioned lower prices elsewhere, but to me $20 seems really fair. I mean, it's your face ... it's hard to hide mistakes, and to me it's worth it to get someone good. read more

My brows are super thin after telling her I like them thick!

Kind of expensive for the service. I'll do a little more looking around to see what else is out there before returning. Gigi was friendly and very busy. Make sure to call ahead and make an appointment as it may be difficult to walk in. read more

Try eyebrow threading, people! Especially if you are like me & don't like or break-out each time you've tried waxing. This is just the place for it. The bad news: its still hurts a tiny bit & Gigi herself is anti-pencil thin eyebrows. That's about all I can say that maybe construed as "bad news". The good news: its reasonably priced, Gigi is super friendly, always answers her cell phone & is just starting her business out. Check her website out for the basics. read more

Gigi did a wonderful job. I just moved to Portland from the Los Angeles area, and needed to find a solid place to get my brows maintained. I live right up the street from Gigi's salon. It's upstairs in the cutest building. So much charm. It's warm and inviting, just like Gigi. I felt comfortable right away, like I had known her for years. She did an amazing job, and finished with wonderful smelling rose water. Im surely a regular now! read more

My eyebrows have never looked more perfect! I live in LA and I will pay to fly and get my eyebrows done her once a month! Highly recommend!!! read more

So glad I found her since I've moved here. Seriously. My eyes are alive again! My brows can breathe once more! Seriously: she saved my face.

I was afraid that a salon would take me in with my thick brows and send me out with teeny tiny rainbow brows. I explained to Gigi that I want to still look like me when I walk out. She was GREAT -- funny, warm, down-to-earth, fast, etc. She also suggested that I get my upper lip and chin threaded, so I did it. She was right -- with the subtle shaping of my brows and baby-smooth face, I walked out of there looking 10 years younger than when I walked in. Awesome! read more

Thanks to Gigi, I don't know if I'll ever go back to waxing. She makes it look so simple, but the finished product is amazing! I'm pretty particular (like most women I assume)on how I want my eyebrows and she did a great job! Not a stray hair to be found (unlike my experiences with waxing) and they turned out exactly how I wanted. There's a clean edge to threading that you can't get with waxing. She shaped them wonderfully by emphasizing my arch without it being too angular or too "natural". Also, I don't have much hair on my upper lip and I never wanted to wax it because that's a really sensitive area for me, but I figured I'd give it a shot with threading. Man! It made such a huge difference. She's also really quick and very nice! I've already got my next appointment set! Thanks again, Gigi! read more

One word: Amazing! My skin is pretty sensitive to waxing so I got my eyebrows and upper lip threaded by Gigi today. She really takes her time and makes sure you are happy with her work before you leave. Before she started she had me hold the mirror and went over what she was going to do just to make sure we were on the same page. This was my first threading experience and I am thoroughly impressed! Safe to say I will never wax my sensitive little eyebrows again. Some people might say it's pricey but I feel like it's totally worth it. Especially when you're only going once every 3-4 weeks. read more

I went here for the first time last Friday and this is the only place I will go to get my brows done from now on! Gigi is very sweet and I like the homey feel of the place and the service overall. She was able to fit me in the very next day. I have done threading a few times before, but this was my first time trying it on my lip. It was a little painful, but about the same as waxing. I normally break out pretty bad when I wax this area and I broke out less than I normally do this time. It may have been because I slathered salicylic acid on it about 20 times over the first 48 hours, but I think in part the threading just doesn't cause as many issues. Thank you Gigi! read more

Gigi is accommodating, relaxed and professional. It was my first day- I could not be happier with how my eyebrows turned out. I would recommend her to anyone. My eyebrows have never looked so good. read more

My experience was wonderful Gigi was very quick, clean, and professional. She was very accommodating to my needs . And wow she did such a great job on my eyebrows Gigi is a master sculptor. She used rose water and witchazel after the threading to help my skin. Rose water was the toner and witchazel was the estringint, I would return to her anytime I am back in Portland. read more

I absolutely love this place. The threading is amazing. GiGi is so personable and sweet. You will WANT to go see her; she's so good at threading and such a doll. Her studio is very relaxing and located in a popular part of Portland. GiGi is one of the best vendors I've found in Portland since moving here. Go See Her! read more

I've been coming to Gigi's for over a year now and couldn't be happier... she has patiently helped my eyebrows grow thicker while beautifully maintaining them along the way. She is quick, personable and fairly priced. Highly recommended!! read more

she did a good job, but its a lot more expensive than i am used to. i am used to 7 bucks and this place charges 15!!! holy crap, if i were to get this every two weeks as recommended....wow! read more

This woman is solid as far as talent goes. Her work is strong. Her prices are higher than the other 2 places in the metro area I've been to (Silk & Stone, Tara Lee), I suspect that is due to her NW location, and she requires cash only. For some reason that makes me a little uncomfortable, although as I learn more about small businesses, I can appreciate why cash payments are preferred, but for someone who doesn't carry much cash it's a hassle. Also it's a pain to get on her schedule. Typically requires a week or more in advance and then she'll ask me during my appt to schedule my next appointment. I don't like that, but I'm sure there are people for whom that works great. She can't handle walk-ins, which makes sense because she's a one-person business, but for those of us coming from bigger cities used to being able to walk-in for threading appts, it's important to know. read more

I went to Gigi's today.....She does wonders for your facial "peach fuzz".....She has a technique called 'threading' that literally takes fine thread and runs it along your face removing all the fine hair that is on your lip, side cheeks and eyebrows. She will also shape your brows! This is such a great alternative to waxing. If you are allergic to wax, or just don't like the pain, I highly recommend this treatment. My face was left so very smooth and tight! read more

Gigi made me look less like someone's uncle and more like a beautiful lady. I didn't think that my brows looked especially unkempt before, but when she did one and gave me a mirror to see the difference, I was very excited to run home and show my boyfriend how Über-Feminine I had gotten in 10 minutes. Gigi was very sweet and friendly. I will definitely go back and be taken care of again. Thanks Gigi :) read more
