1 /5 Taelor: Don’t get your eyebrows threaded here. The woman who did them gave me a great shape, but this morning I woke up with small open wounds under both eyebrows. Now I have to worry about infection and scarring on my face, and that’s not cute. Idk what she did wrong, but it’s not worth it.
Edit: in response to the owner’s response, I’ve been getting threaded for a long time back home. I’ve never had this happen to me. Ever. This is the first time and last time I looked in the bathroom mirror, one of those cuts has now formed a white head which, to me, says you may have given me an infection. I know it’s not from me. I’ve kept the area clean and dry and don’t touch the area otherwise. And I’m keeping record of its worsening progression with photos.
Additional Edit: I just wanted to put an update here. Within 24 hours of me posting this review, I did have an infection. The wounds had pus in them. I had to go on an antibiotic course. But the infection got way worse before it got better. I missed work and wages as a result because at one point my eyes were almost swollen shut.
I contacted the studio and the owner reached out to me. She said she’d refund me if I signed a release of liability. The fact she had a professional legally binding document drawn up and ready to go is concerning that this wasn’t their first rodeo with giving someone an infection. And for the record, I know of one other person who I had worked with who got an infection on their cheek from a facial there. Anyway, I said I wouldn’t sign that because I didn’t want my hands tied if the infection progressed since it was so close to my eyes. The owner was cooperative and kind until one day she just flipped on me. She started saying there was no proof it wasn’t my own fault they got infected (it’s not. I’ve been getting threaded for a long time back home, and my skincare routine hasn’t changed. I’m also not dirty. I’ve never gotten wounds from a threading or an infection before going here) and then I didn’t answer her messages for a few hours because I was at work, and she called me “completely unreasonable” and blocked me out of nowhere. Haven’t heard from her since. Never got a refund.
So not only are these people filthy dirty in their practices, but the manager is immature unprofessional and lets her emotions get the best of her.
It’s been 6 weeks since my infection. The skin under my eyebrows is still discolored. At this point I can only assume it’s scarring and I’ll be left permanently disfigured. The discoloration on my face has shattered my confidence and this whole experience was really traumatizing and stressful.
I’m attaching more photos of the progression of my infection.
I urge everyone not to go here. It’s actually so scary what happened and can happen to you too.
