My first experience with Cynthia's waxing services was today and I am pleased to say that it was…read morevery positive. I made an appointment for a Brazilian wax and am beyond satisfied with the results. Located within a 5 minute walk from St. Clair subway station, Cynthia's place was easy to get to. Her salon is a small space within a well maintained property that is pretty and serene. The salon itself is very modernly furnished, clean and welcoming. Cynthia is a consummate professional; engaging me throughout what could have been a very awkward, painful process to ensure I was comfortable. She is a very thorough aesthetician while also working quite quickly with sure, deft application of the wax and removal of the hair. The service took no more than 15 minutes - if that - and the pain was minimal (as minimal as getting your lady parts waxed can be). I highly recommend using Cynthia for this service and will definitely be visiting her again.

No one does brows like her. She truly is a master. Strangers have complimented my brows and they're all thanks to her (with a healthy does of genetics, no doubt).

Once you've started going to Rupal for eyebrows, it really is hard to start going somewhere else…read more I had moved to the area 7 years ago and found her by fluke through a flyer in the mail. Thank god I took the chance! Now, I've been coming to Rupal for probably over 5 years! She has really transformed my eyebrows. Now, I can go a month without threading and there's barely any growth. They don't get bushy or anything. They just stay as the shape they're supposed to be! It takes time, but you will notice the difference. In the beginning, you will have to keep getting your eyebrows done every few weeks, but eventually, you will be able to go longer and longer without touching them. Rupal does not make your eyebrows overly thin like some places. She gets them to the most natural looking state for your face. I can't forget to mention how sweet and easy going she is! She's very honest and easy to talk to. If you're looking to transform your eyebrows this year, come see Rupal!

A friend recommended this place to me and the reviews were great so I decided to give it a try…read more After making my appointment with the owner (Rupal), my appointment was changed - I was handled by Trusha. My experience was terrifying... I got a Brazilian wax (not for the first time, but this was my first experience at Rupal's) and Trusha waxed the same areas OVER and OVER again. After my appointment; there was still hair left, I was left with a burn/scab, and I was sore for days afterward. Towards the end of my appointment, Rupal appeared in the room and despite her soothing tone, I didn't feel comforted at all. She recommended other (more expensive) treatments and explained that my "type of hair" (I'm a black woman with coarse, curly hair) prevented Trusha from removing all of it. SOME NERVE! Again, this wasn't my first or last time getting a Brazilian wax and I haven't had these issues anywhere else. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place, especially to women with hair like mine. Visit was JUNE 6, 2019.

I have pretty thick dark eyebrows with a defined arch. This fall I decided to use COVID…read morework-from-home as a perfect opportunity to grow them slightly wider without looking unprofessional at the office. It took about three months since August for some over-plucked parts to fully come back. Pretty happy with the results and the natural shape, I wanted to take off a few stray hairs to get the eyebrows look more symmetrical and also to trim the top part in a way that looks clean and not over-groomed. I normally do this myself, but since I haven't had full-blown natural eyebrows in ages, I figured it'd be a great opportunity to go to a stylist and treat myself. I've had terrible experiences in the past when people would pluck the heck out of me for no good reason, so I was pretty hesitant to do this, and the fact that none of my girlfriends normally did it at a salon also didn't help. After checking a number of places in the neighborhood, I was blown away by the amazing reviews, the IG account of Eye Love Beauty, and more importantly the beautiful luscious eyebrows of their aestheticians. So I booked an appointment, thinking that with every single girl rocking bushy eyebrows these days, the worst thing that could happen to me would be just paying the money and leaving with almost no changes, which I would have been totally fine with to be honest. My appointment was with Rochelle, who was very friendly and attentive. She examined my eyebrows, listened to my preferences and confirmed them to make sure we are on the same page. She also suggested to take off a bit of hair at the bottom to open the eyes/define the arch, which I was happy with. She carried on, was fast and very gentle. When she was done and handed me the mirror to check out the results, you could only imagine my surprise as I saw two skinny flat tasteless eyebrows from the 2000s on my face with half of the width gone, including good 3 mm from the top, and the arch was no longer there. I was completely stumped as I realized there was nothing that could be done at that point. So I mumbled something about the top of the eyebrows. Rochelle suggested that it wasn't as dense as the middle part, which is absolutely true by the way - my eyebrows are not perfect, but they are definitely much thicker than most of the average ones, and with a bit of filling they always look extremely voluminous. At this point I could only assume either the majority of their clients have perfect model eyebrows, the staff was trained on such eyebrows, or it was simply not my day. I felt extremely bad, but I didn't want to make a scene or argue - Rochelle was very kind throughout the whole session, there was nothing to be done at that point for the hair to magically grow back, and I was rushing back to work. So I just paid and left. I hate to be the person to leave this as an online comment rather than in-person feedback, but I honestly don't know what I should have done differently, since we both seemed to be on the same page, and I am not the type of person to interrupt an expert to check every two minutes on their work. I liked Rochelle a lot and wouldn't mind coming back if I knew I would be getting what I want. I just want to cry in a corner and shave this shame off. It will take me three months to grow back the hair, with the ugly stumps sticking out, and I cannot even properly conceal this with a pencil/shadow, since it looks absolutely ridiculous in this spot. The dumbest part is I don't have anyone else to blame for this but myself. So if you are someone like me, having beautiful eyebrows and contemplating about saving time shaping them yourself, please don't repeat my mistakes, set aside two hours and do it yourself. No one knows your face better than you, and not even the best stylist can read your mind. Or if you decide to give it a try, maybe ask a stylist to fill in the final desired shape before they start tweezing.

Environment: 5/5 She recently opened up a beautiful store right on Broadview & Gerrard. It's modern with a rustic edge to it and very bright and warm. The burnt orange couch she has at the front of the store reminds me of a modern take on the Friends cafe couch- very Instagram worthy! Customer Service: 5/5 When you walk in, you are immediately greeted by whoever is at the front reception desk. Professionalism: 5/5 During my first appointment, Lina was very thorough on what was to be expected - she said it would be like fine cat scratches, uncomfortable but not painful - tbh I fell asleep during the procedure. She mapped my face, and than used an app to show me all the angles matching up to the shape she drew out. At the end she gave me an after care package - with chocolate in it! Nice touch Her work speaks for itself, she is very experienced and doesn't do what's trendy- she does it all based on your face structure and current brows. Experience: 5/5 Immediately after my first appointment she booked my touch up appointment which was 8 weeks. My brows healed great- no scabbing thanks to her after care package. During my next appointment she displayed the same level of professionalism. This time- my skin was a bit more sensitive due to the time of the month, and she would continuously ask if the pain was okay. She's EXTREMLY talented, and I highly recommend going to her! Absolutely amazing!
