Rachel came to the rescue today! I was in search of a new brow artist to tame my brows after the woman I used to go to went out of business. I needed to find an expert to do them for my wedding this weekend. I reached out to her this morning and she was able to fit me in same day. Rachel's studio is adorable! She was very professional and did an amazing job with my brows! She enhanced the shape while keeping them thick and natural. If you need a talented brow artist to shape and tame your brows, look no further! I cannot wait to go back again! read more

My eyebrows are thinner than they've ever been. It'll take awhile for them to grow back. I communicated that I wanted very little taken off and just to clean them up because I want to grow them out. I had microblading done and she seemed very disheveled about that. Regardless, I was specific with what I wanted and unfortunately she took a lot off which got rid of years of eyebrow growth. Rachel was very nice and her studio is great. Just not happy with how my eyebrows turned out. read more

I used to go to many places to have my eyebrows shaped and Rachel is hands down the best - I will not go anywhere else. I had asymmetric eyebrows when I first went to Rachel, and she was able to even them out over time and allow me to get rid of the "overdone" look I had since college. She is an artist and extremely professional. One more note in the setting of COVID: Her studio is always clean and she is meticulous with safety protocols. I feel extremely reassured by her process and care around safety. read more

Rachel is amazing. She makes my eyebrows beautiful, which makes me happy. She doesn't use wax, instead she uses tweezers, which I prefer. It's far cleaner and more precise. So why four stars? Well, it's a bit pricey at $40 an appointment of 30 minutes or less. I do try to maintain my eyebrows a bit so that I can extend the time between visits. I can go between 4 to 5 weeks right now. She only takes cash or checks though, so stop by the atm if you need to. I think there's one around the corner if you find your way just about there and cashless. read more

I actually see Sarah at Rachels. Sarah has a space shared with Rachel. I've been going to Sarah since she was working at Michaud Cosmetics which I started going to for about 10 years now. Her skills are incredibly amazing. I got compliments in public everywhere from getting my nails done to random people at a party asking where I got my eyebrows done. They don't disappoint when it comes to getting that brow shape. I highly recommend Sarah because I have been goign to her for so long and everybody does admit that I do pay alot to get my brows done, but they do look perfect from every strand when I come out of there. They only take cash or checks unfortunately. I think they would get even more business if they did accept credit cards, but it is a 2 person team there, so it's understandable. read more

Rachel is a wizard. She is AMAZING at what she does and one-of-a-kind. Recently moved to NYC and can't find another person as good as Rachel :( read more

This past weekend I was a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding in Boston, and Rachel did the makeup for the wedding party. Holy crap, the woman is good. She gave me a beautiful, vintage-inspired look that wowed everyone. I have never felt so glamorous, or received so many compliments in my life! In fact, i had the two cutest single guys there vying for my attention all night - THANK YOU RACHEL!!! Every single one of us loved our makeup, especially the bride, who has been going to Rachel for brows for years. Rachel works efficiently, listens to her clients, and brings out their natural beauty. She is a true professional, and an absolute doll to boot! read more

The best eyebrow shaping I have ever had. The price is more expensive than other places, but I am willing to pay the price for QUALITY. Rachel uses tweezers to shape eyebrows which makes my eyes feel crazy, but the results are amazing! She said that tweezers allow for more precise shaping. Rachel is very professional and an expert. read more

If you want your brows to look better than they ever have, you NEED to go visit Rachel. I'm very specific about how my brows look, and Rachel took the time to listen to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. She only uses tweezers, so you also have a say at each step about how your brows come out. I always get compliments on how my brows look after an appointment with Rachel, and at this point there is nobody else I would go to. Even on Newbury St. where there are brow studios a plenty, they don't even come close to Rachel. Note: She only accepts cash (or checks I believe), and while $50 for an appointment is pricey she is the only person I trust with my brows. read more

Rachel is a godsend. I go to her for brow shaping. But I have also recommended multiple friends for other services and gotten makeup consultations from Rachel. All have been fabulous. She is the ultimate professional. Rachel listens carefully to your needs and has helpful and realistic suggestions. And she does so all with the goal of enhancing your natural beauty. I have never felt pressure to do anything from Rachel (e.g., often places insist you must go at a certain frequency or get lazy and try to wax instead of plucking to avoid the extra work if you haven't gone as regularly, etc.). She is honest in saying the more regular the better, but totally respectful of your situation. She has a great selection of Makeup Forever products and other tools that she has carefully chosen. Unlike most places, Rachel has never pushed me to buy any products or other services. When I do purchase something, it is because I came to Rachel with an issue and she had a great solution. I am so thankful to have her in my life. I was really disillusioned at all my prior brow experiences and felt there was nowhere to go. Rachel has made my brows my favorite thing! Note/Tip About Cash Only: I hate having to remember to bring cash. So Rachel kindly lets me prepay a certain amount. What's great is that it is not like buying a package--you can pay whatever amount you want (and the money can be used towards other services). Rachel doesn't even sell packages. She's just very sweet and accommodating to her clients, so you basically have your own little Rachel's bank account! read more

I have been going to Rachel for at least 5 years for my eyebrows and I swear by her. She only uses tweezers (no wax) so the appointments only last about 10-20 minutes, and she can thus be very precise with what she takes vs what she leaves. Her attention to detail is wonderful, she helped me grow out my brows years ago when I first came to her after a waxer took too much (surprise, surprise). She's so fabulous I even got my husband to go for a very masculine eyebrow shaping and it looks fabulous and you can't tell he had anything done (in the best way) - he loves it. She's also very easy to schedule and reschedule with, and extremely professional yet warm. Highly recommend! read more

Rachel is just wonderful. I can't imagine what my eyebrows would be like without her....actually, I can! Because they were not perfect until I found her! She created a shape to my eyebrows that TRULY enhances my eyes, my face, and my look - I actually feel sexier and more like a women with these eyebrows!! And to think they were there allll along..damn I went to a woman before at a salon that didn't actually specialize in eyebrows, but I let her do her thing. When I decided I didn't want to see this woman anymore and I wanted to see an actual professional, I did NOT know I would be so okay with committing myself to regular appointments, especially since they're $48 for a half an hour (if not less!)! I will 5 star it because if you're willing to pay for her service, it's excellent. Yes, it's expensive, but she's a 1 woman show, with a huge Newbury street rent to pay, plus a living and a family to upkeep. I'm not rich, but when it comes to my looks, I will spend a buck if it's worth it..and it's worth it!! read more

Called several times for an appointment and left a message but they never called me back.

There is not much else to say except that Rachel is a wizard when it comes to eyebrows, along with that she is an absolutely wonderful person to be around. She makes you feel welcome, like you've known her forever. I've been going to her for just about a year, and I'm sad we are moving away but I love my brows now because of her. Don't hesitate. Go see her! read more

This is a great place to get your brows done and Rachel does an amazing job. It is a bit pricey but well worth it. She does not accept walk ins and it is cash only. She works alone so setting up and appointment can be a game of phone tag, but leave her a message and she will call you right back. read more

Rachel is an artist. I found her after seeing a friend and thinking that she looked so great, she must have had some "work" done! Nope, Rachel had just done her brows. After one visit, I was hooked. read more

If you are looking to revamp your eyebrows: Sarah is your woman. She is an amazing eyebrow artist! I wanted a new shape, and a new shape she gave me! I was worried about getting my eyebrows reshaped as I've had the same shape for years but new it was time for a new look. I hate getting my eyebrows tweezed (I'm used to getting them waxed for cheap at nail salons) but I have to say she did a really good job at making me feel at ease. And it didn't even hurt that much! It looks fantastic and I'm so happy with the results. The only thing is that it's a bit pricey ($45 for 30 min eyebrow shaping session)so in terms of maintenance I think I'll only be able to afford every 4-6 weeks but it's totally worth it! They say you get what you pay for and it certainly applies in this case! read more

Rachel is an essential and regular part of my self-care. I have been going to her for years and regularly get compliments about my eyebrows - who knew? She is the ultimate professional, texting to remind you of appointments, and flexible when you need to change. She is worth every penny! read more

Came for an eyebrow shaping with Rachel - she listened closely to what I wanted (not thin, but with a good arch) and worked with me to find a shape that is perfect. She uses only tweezers, so her decisions about what to remove are made hair by hair. I couldn't be happier. My follow up appointment is already scheduled. read more

Loved getting my eyebrows done here! $48 but worth the price. Eyebrows are the curtains of your face. so, ladies, dont over pluck...instead, get them professionally shaped. If you don't get compliments on your eyebrows, that means you need some expert advice. If you can handle maintaining them afterwards, go for it. But get Rachel to create your beautiful brows first! read more

Rachel is the best of the best. I came in with 2 very different shaped eyebrows and she's helped to even them out over time while still keeping the fullness I requested. She's quick and professional but also very friendly and her studio is adorable. Definitely worth every penny. read more

Rachel is a true artist. While some might find it expensive, the price is on par with the other brow studios that use tweezers. She will advice you on what will be the best shape for your needs. Trust her advice, despite your urge to go as thin as possible to be like X movie star. Call 617-424-0153 for appointments, leave a message and she is prompt in calling back to schedule. read more

This is more of a question. I have not been to Rachel's but I did speak to her on the phone. I am in my fifties and have done a lot of tweezing in my life. Not all of those hairs grow back, and as a result my eyebrows are a bit asymmetrical. One of them is more over-tweezed than the other. Not terrible, but noticeable to me. Do you think she could help me? I don't want to end up with 2 overtweezed eyebrows. Most people who go to her probably have more hair in their eyebrows than they want, mine is kind of the opposite. Any idea if she could help? On the phone she said there's usually something she can do. read more

Just had my brows done again at Rachel's. I am amazed that she keeps them looking consistent despite how unruly they seem when I come in. Even hairdressers can't get your hair to look exactly the same every time. She is like a human stencil, only better. :-) read more

Rachel is an artist with brows- the best shaping I have ever had. She also did an incredible teen make-up lesson for my daughter. Services well worth the $$$. read more

I have been to Rachel's three or four times now. I am constantly trying out new eyebrow places and I am so happy to have found Rachel! She tweezes, so the shape is much cleaner than threading and waxing. The appointment takes half an hour and she utilizes that time to make your eyebrows perfect! I have received so many compliments since going to Rachel. Make an appointment far in advance because she fills up quickly. It is a bit pricey but definitely worth it! Eyebrows shape your whole face, and Rachel, being a makeup artist, understands that and works with your natural arch. I am so happy to have found her! read more

Rachel has spent about the last 12 months reshaping my eyebrows after a waxing mishap in FL. I feel like my face looks completely different now that she has shaped my brows to fit the shape of my face. Amazing! It's a bit pricey but, for me, it's worth it! read more

It's hard to trust someone with your brows. I've been going to Rachel for about 4 years, about every 6 weeks, to have my brows done. Over the years, she's helped me get and maintain really nice, groomed, natural brows. If waxing is too scary (and damaging) and threading is too wierd, keep in mind that tweezing is the best, most accurate and painless method, and it's what real make up artists recommend. Rachel is really nice and is so knowledgable about brows and what shapes look both natural and best on your face. She completely listens and respects your wishes, and will educate you on what you should be doing. Anxiety-free. I always get many compliments on my brows and you can't go wrong giving it a try. read more

Rachel is amazing! She has completely transformed my brows. I recommend her to everyone I know because good brows can make such a difference! She has a cute studio on Newbury Street, I highly recommend making an appointment with Rachel. read more

Got to love Rachel!! Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she always squeezes me in for a last minute appointment. I've been going to her since she opened and would never go to anyone else. read more
