Attitude, Overrated, and Clown Eyebrows

by VTown131

I visited the Anastasia salon in Beverly Hills a few years ago. The woman who did my eyebrows did not stop talking the entire time, acted like she was hot stuff for working in a salon in Beverly Hills and that it was all "ritzy and snooty" so she called it. My eyebrows when she finally finished after she kept talking and pausing to gossip with the other eyebrow ladies, looked terrible! I looked like a clown, the price was too much, and I felt as if all the ladies just kept laughing at all the clients. I even tried the "Anastasia" brand again at Nordstrom's in Santa Barbara and the eyebrow lady there made them totally uneven! I have nice brows, thick and easy to shape. I have now found at the Benefit Store on 3rd Ave. and Montana Ave, they do a nice job for $18-$20. They even do brows at the Benefit counter at the Bev Center Bloomingdale's, Barbara is the best. I won't waste my time or hard earned money at Anastasia ever again!

• Pros: Free parking
• Cons: Bad attitude, poor service

Weirdly Stenciled Eyebrows, Very Bad Attitude

by greenland

This is the first review I've ever written on Citysearch and I'm usually a very forgiving and easy-going person, so for me to take the time to write a negative review means that I must have been pretty dissatisfied. I got my eyebrows done by Jasmine and they looked horrible afterwords. For over $50, they were uneven, way too thick, and I actually started crying after I left the store because I looked like a character out of Star Trek. For the record, I have naturally good eyebrows and for someone to mess them up takes an immense amount of skill (sarcasm). In addition, I thought Jasmine was rude, dismissive, and arrogant; I showed her a picture of what I wanted my eyebrows to look like and she barely glanced at it; in fact, she barely glanced at me or even acknowledged me as a customer. I'm not quite sure why she has a reputation for being one of the better eyebrow stylists; I don't think she has a natural eye for symmetry and beauty and she definitely doesn't have the artist's touch. Plus she's got attitude which is so off-putting and in my mind, unacceptable. So in summary, don't go to Jasmine and don't go to this salon; I've heard Anastasia is good, but I wouldn't bet my life on it...it's probably just a lot of hype.

Nicoleta best from the best

by jade17

i go to anastasia's for my bikini wax and eyebrows and i see the same person all the time but today she was very late and i had no time to waste i had to see another esthetician ! well i had the best experience in my life! NICOLETTA does the best bikini wax ,very fast and no pain ! when she told me i was finished i was amazed at how fast and painless it was! and she did my eyebrows very beautiful and left them natural looking ! she is very professional , her room was surprisingly very clean and NICOLETA was dressed in all white an she looked like a real professional. t was very refreshing to feel like somebody finally treated me with respect and talent and patience! i feel so much better about myself and most importantly my appearance.

• Pros: parking one hour free
• Cons: waiting { but worh it!}
