Brows have officially hit their heyday. After being plucked to near obscurity in the 90s and 2000s, they’re back with top billing. Current trends favor full, natural, and perfectly sculpted brows, which means brow artists are in high demand (unfortunately, we didn’t just wake up like this!). Plus, if you have a history of over-plucking—or have the opposite problem (taming furry caterpillars)—a trusted eyebrow pro is invaluable.
Whether you need brow waxing, tinting, threading, or microblading to achieve eye-framing perfection, the right pro should understand your needs and how to achieve the perfect brows. If not done properly, these delicate processes can throw off your entire look.
The right brow service can enhance and define the shape of your eyebrows, whether you’re aiming to be on-trend or simply upgrade a natural, classic brow.
—Tara Lewis, Yelp Trend Expert
Because finding the right brow stylist can be daunting, we reached out to Yelpers for trusted recommendations in their communities. Our list of the top 20 US brow bars features some of the country’s most notable brow artists, including microblading world champ Lindsay Ta of #3 Microblading LA in Los Angeles and celebrity brow stylist Taryn Clarke, owner of #12 Taryn Brows in New York City.
Many of these brow stylists are unsung heroes. There’s Tahira Yousuf of Eyebrows and More by Tahira in Fullerton, California’s (our #1 pick), Shila Sharma owner of Shila Eyebrow Threading in Las Vegas (#9) and others, who learned brow techniques from their mothers and grandmothers in Nepal, India, and Dubai before immigrating to the US. “I’ve known how to thread for as long as I can remember,” Shila told Yelp. “I don’t even remember being taught, everybody just knows.”

Most popular eyebrow services
Whether you’re a first-timer wanting to shape your natural brows, or eying something more extravagant, like semi-permanent microshading or microblading, it’s important to know what to expect.
“Services like eyebrow lamination and eyebrow tinting, for example, will not only freshen your face, they’re also pain free,” Tara explains.
The following is a quick primer on the most popular brow services.
Threading. This ancient hair removal technique, long popular in the Middle East and Asia, removes unwanted hair by twisting two strands of cotton thread to grab and lift hairs from the follicle. Results last 3–6 weeks.
Lamination. Using chemicals similar to those for hair perms, stylists flatten, straighten, and reshape brow hairs to achieve a fuller, fluffier, more defined look. Results last 4–8 weeks.
Brow tinting. A semi-permanent dying process, eyebrow tinting gives the appearance of thicker, more dramatic brows by deepening their color—or altering their color to match your hair. Results last 2–4 weeks, depending on type of dye used.
Microblading. This semi-permanent “brow art” creates the appearance of fuller brows by etching individual eyebrow hairs into the skin with pigment and a microblade tool. Your first appointment may take a couple of hours. Results last 3 years, with touch-ups every 6–12 months.

1. Eyebrows and More by Tahira, Fullerton, California
Eyebrows and More by Tahira offers a unique guarantee: Leave happy or you’ll get a refund. Owner, brow expert, and makeup artist Tahira Yousuf has built a fiercely loyal client base in the Anaheim area thanks to her expertise at shaping fuller brows and minimizing pain. Yelpers give this studio extra kudos for henna tinting and Tahira’s track record for fixing brows that have gone awry.
Delivering great customer service is Tahira’s primary mission—especially since some services, like microblading, are semi permanent. “Compromising quality of work is not an option,” says Tahira, who honed her craft 9 years ago in Dubai before moving to California. “It’s a privilege that people leave here satisfied and feeling their best, day in and day out,” she says.
Yelpers say: “Tahira is the sweetest and greatest eyebrow lady I’ve gone to! She really works on what you’d like for your eyebrows (evenness, thickness, etc.), and she does it so well! She also has a stamp card (for frequent clients), which is so cute! I’ve gotten my brows done by many, and Tahira has done the best at making them look and grow evenly! I’ve recommended her to multiple friends. Definitely don’t hesitate to book an appointment.” –Emily E.
2. Unique Threading, New York City, New York
This salon’s two Manhattan locations boast brow artists who are masters of their craft, many with more than a decade of training and experience in eyebrow shaping. “People travel for the best service and most experienced professionals for any industry—and that’s exactly what we’re seeing here,” says manager Suleman Mercant.
Unique Threading specializes in threading (natch!), eyebrow waxing, and sugaring—an ancient Persian method that uses lemon, sugar, and water to form a sticky gel that clings to hair. In addition to brow services, Yelpers rave about their other waxing services, facials, massage, and henna. All products used are vegan and cruelty-free. Pro Tip: Spring for the VIP treatment, and expect to be pampered with a cold glass of champagne upon arrival and skip the walk-ins line.
Yelpers say: “I have done my eyebrows at Unique Threading salon with Geeta for many years, I don’t let anyone else touch my eyebrows. Geeta is amazing and very caring, always shapes my eyebrows perfectly and also does my Brazilian waxing very quick and painless. Highly recommend her.” –Alexandra B.
3. Microblading LA, Los Angeles, California
Within the world of brows, Lindsay Ta is a pioneer and celebrity. She learned microblading in her home country of Vietnam, trained with masters around the globe, and later won the World Microblading Championship in Amsterdam. That recognition generated business offers from the biggest companies in the permanent makeup industry, but Lindsay chose to open her own salon, train new microbladers, and be an advocate for the craft.
Those lucky enough to snag a booking at Lindsay’s “white-glove clean” studio (as described by one Yelper) in an” adorable French-themed storefront” in Woodland Hills, heap praise on her team’s expert skills. The salon’s long list of achievements includes training more than 2,500 students at its Microblading LA Academy and shaping beautiful brows for 12,000 clients since 2018.
Yelpers say: “I had the best experience at the salon! Everyone was genuinely nice. The salon was impeccable. It all was part of a very pleasant experience overall. Bella was my artist, but she’s really more of a magician! I can’t say enough nice things about my time there. Make your appointment, and you’ll be happy you went.” –Suze S.
4. Pretty Threading, Mission Viejo, California
Pretty Threading gets its moniker from owner Pretty Kaur, who helped introduce Orange County to the art of threading, as only the 3rd salon to offer the service. “[Back then,] people thought that threading meant we were sewing in your eyebrows,” says Pretty, who started practicing threading on family and friends in 9th grade, before moving to the US from India to get an aesthetics license.
“[Now, clients] come with pictures, and [we’re the] consultants, letting them know why a look can or cannot work for them,” explains Pretty—who credits 22 years as a fashion stylist (before getting her aesthetics license) for her keen sense of brow style.
In addition to threading, the salon offers brow tinting, henna, and makeup services—even selling its own makeup line of vegan and cruelty-free lipstick and brow kits. Always an innovator, Pretty created a tool that tracks brow-hair growth after each visit, allowing clients to easily move between stylists with seamless results.
Yelpers say: “Pretty Threading is hands down the best place to get your eyebrows done! I can assure you that whether Nena or Suri take care of you, your eyebrows will be perfect when they’re done. (They’re quick too!) They are genuine professionals, the shop is so clean, and prices are so fair. Plus, you gain points every time you pay [toward a free visit!” –Anita R.
5. Mila Threading, Mountain Valley, California
Detail-oriented Mila Threading is known for its “little-by-little” philosophy: You can always take more, but you can’t always go back. Mila technicians are loved by Yelpers for constant communication with clients during a treatment, always checking in to make sure they’re on the right track.
Owner Jeet Sandhu learned threading in India, then moved to the US to build skills and business expertise before opening her own shop in 2019. “Every month, I was getting more customers, then COVID hit,” Jeet says. The pandemic didn’t break her stride. Clients keep coming back in droves for the relaxing environment—expect meditative music and incense—plus the warm 10%-off-threading welcome for newcomers.
Yelpers say: “I took my 13-year-old daughter to Mila for her very first eyebrow cleaning and shaping experience and asked Jeet to keep things as natural as possible. My daughter was thrilled with the results. Big smile from ear to ear!” –Jan V.
6. Urs Threading, Concord, California
Be rid of time-consuming at-home tweezing. Time is money, and Urs Threading supports customers’ busy schedules by knocking out threading appointments faster than most people can get settled in a salon chair. “It takes me just two minutes to thread a customer,” says owner Suneeta Manandhar.
At this salon, there’s hardly ever a “backup of clients, and customers rarely have to wait,” she says. The rapid-fire threader learned the technique at just 12 years old in her home country of Nepal, and has since opened 3 locations of Urs Threading across the Bay Area. To standardize superior brows across her storefronts, Suneeta only hires experienced brow artists whose work she can personally vouch for.
Yelpers say: “I have been going to Suneeta for 6 years and have recommended her to many of my friends, who are now her regular clients. Prior to coming to her, I had a very bad eyebrow situation and [thanks] to her amazing skills, they’ve now grown back. If I could give her 100 stars, I would.” –Stephanie O.
7. Khina Eyebrow Threading, Las Vegas, Nevada
Because brows are highly personal, owner Khina Bhattarai and her team specialize in building trust the moment a client walks in. Her sense of humor, sensitivity to pain, and special attention to first-time clients earn raves from regulars and newcomers alike.
This full-service salon offers an array of brow services including threading, lamination, and tinting, alongside other services like lash lifts, henna, and facials. Khina Eyebrow Threading is open 7 days a week. Walk-ins are encouraged, and repeat clients are rewarded with a free threading on their 8th visit through the salon’s punch card system.
Yelpers say: “I’ve been going to Khina for over 6 years. She is the absolute best at what she does! I’ve tried others and nobody comes close to her. She is the ONLY person I completely trust with my eyebrows. She is the sweetest person and really respects what you want and what you’re comfortable with.” –Catherine C.
8. Mirror Image Threading Salon, Austin, Texas
Threading runs in the family for Mirror Image owner Pratiksha Pourel, who learned the skill from her grandmother at age 14. Upon arriving in the US from Nepal, Pratiksha worked at a handful of high-end salons in Boston, Dallas, and Houston before settling in Austin and opening her shop.
“I’ve been doing it for so long, it’s second nature,” says Pratiksha, who has more than two decades of experience under her belt. She’s mastered the art of customer service, which her clients happily vouch for. Her appointments always start with a warm welcome, a general cleanup of the brow area, then expert shaping for the client’s face shape.
Yelpers refer to Pratiksha’s workspace as “the chair where the magic happens”—the tiny studio has just one seat, which means your brows are guaranteed to get all the attention they deserve.
Yelpers say: “Such a great threading location! You can’t trust *just anybody* with your brows. I moved to the Austin area in July ’21 and I tried a couple of other places before finding Mirror Image. The two other places totally botched my eyebrows, but she’s got my brows on the mend and almost back to normal. I’m so grateful! She’s super flexible with scheduling.” –Adriana G.
9. Brow Society NYC, New York City, New York
Stylists at Brow Society are specialists in well-known esthetic procedures like threading and brow lamination, but what sets them apart is their early mastery of eyebrow art like microblading. Owner Santiago Garay was one of the first in the city to offer microblading, fulfilling his lifelong dream of becoming an artist.
His social posts about microblading created an avalanche of interest among customers wanting to try different brow styles without fully committing to tattoos. Now, he has an in-house team to keep up on what’s hot, which “guides us on the most up-to-date brow and beauty trends,” Santiago says.
No matter what service you choose, the collaborative experience starts with a consultation. “It’s the same process you might get at a hair salon when trying to pick your color. It’s a team effort between you and your stylist,” Santiago says.
Yelpers say: “I had an amazing experience with Santi. I was initially worried about the permanent aspect of [this technique] but was tired of filling in patchy overplucked eyebrows from my misspent youth. Darn you, 90s! The treatment was a longish process, but RESULTS! Cannot express how happy I am with the definition, color, and skill. Santi really took the time to shape my brows to both our satisfaction and mix a tint that worked well with my complexion. Once this wears off, I will be back.” –Laura C. (Yelp Elite member)
10. Dipti Eyebrow Threading, Las Vegas, Nevada
Customers seeking an ultra-clean salon will be thrilled by this suburban Las Vegas salon. After being greeted by uniformed stylists in a simple space, clients can choose between threading and waxing to manage their brows.
Dipti Threading only uses natural, organic thread because of its light weight, which she says minimizes the stinging associated with the procedure. “The pain depends on each person’s tolerance, but we do everything we can to make it as comfortable as possible,” Dipti says. “The specific thread helps a lot with that.”
Dipti learned to thread while she was growing up in Nepal, and is now licensed in the US. Prices are affordable ($10 for brow threading) and while the salon has only two stylists, appointments are usually not needed.
Yelpers say: “Everyone and their mom should come to this place! I don’t know what technique Dipti uses, but there was no pain in the process of her threading my eyebrows! I was amazed and really loved the way she did my eyebrows. I will definitely come back when I get the chance. Love the service! Very quick, and she’s very friendly.” –Gabriela L.
11. Taryn Brows, New York City, New York
You’re in good company when you trust Taryn Clarke for brow lamination, microblading, or threading—her brow bar has serviced the famous faces of Mary J. Blige, Teyonnah Parris, and Patina Miller. Taryn’s notoriety has garnered a long list of loyal clients; but because her appointment book is usually maxed out, newcomers are cared for by one of the salon’s expert brow artists.
Starting her career at a full-service Queens salon at age 16, Taryn was drawn to eyebrows because of the way they immediately transform a client’s appearance. “Brows used to be an afterthought, after nails, skin care, or hair,” Taryn explains. “But now, as clients leave, they’re booking second and third sessions because it’s a priority.” Taryn created her own eyebrow cosmetics line and a blog dubbed “Taryn’s Tips” to help clients maintain their brows after they’ve left her chair.
Yelpers say: “I’ve been particular about my brows since 11 years old…way before I was ready to have good brows. I’ve been to more places than I can count, across multiple states, and Taryn is it. Period. Not just her…the whole team is trained with such a level of perfection. They are so hospitable. Just unparalleled greatness. Go!” –Angela P.
12. CC Brow Bar, New York City, New York
Yelpers love CC Brow Bar’s affordable eyebrow threading, microblading, and eyebrow waxing services, which can be booked at locations in Midtown Manhattan and Long Island. This small place packs a big punch—the brand offers its own brow products and only employs stylists with 5 or more years of experience. The complimentary post-threading temple massage gets rave reviews from Yelpers, too.
The salon requires an appointment for regular brow services, as well as brow, eyelash, hair, and makeup services for special occasions, according to CC Brow Bar co-founder Dopdyel Tsetsen.
Yelpers say: “I’m so lucky I found CC Brow Bar! I’ve been going here for about a year, and have gotten eyebrow & face threading, as well as the keratin lash lift & tint. Sonam does an incredible job every single time. I won’t go anywhere else for threading in the city, I’ve found my girl!” –Payton B.
13. DuPont Threading, Washington, DC
DuPont Threading started as a one-chair salon and now counts 5 shops across the metro DC area that local media consistently deems the city’s best threading spots year after year.
Founded by a New Delhi native who immigrated to the area 20 years ago, owner Nitasha Dahya began her career by practicing regularly on family and friends, and still considers threading a hobby, not a job.
Her offerings include brow lamination, eyebrow tinting, and microblading. Threading services are walk-in only, and customers often endure longer wait times to book Nitasha as their brow artist. Yelpers recommend bringing a magazine to the waiting room if you’re determined to see Nitasha.
Yelpers say: “Nitasha—what an icon. The first place I visited post-vax was DuPont Threading…because of Nitasha’s consistency, skill, speed, affordability, and just plain cool vibes. I was 18 months of ‘wild child,’ and it was a breeze and pretty painless to get threading (eyebrow, lower face) and sugaring services.” –Ab W.
14. Brow Bandit, New York City, New York
Looking for a brow salon that can handle any request? Aisha A., lead stylist and owner of the beauty atelier, reflects her mission: a young entrepreneur running around the city, beautifying all eyebrows in her path.
“I’ll stop at nothing to change the world, one brow at a time,” explains the brow-styling veteran of 15-years. She means it, too—Aisha will come to you for special events (or brow emergencies!).
Yelpers say: “Bottom line: Aisha is the absolute best. Her studio is conveniently located near the Broadway/Lafayette subway stop and is fabulously decorated. I book my appointments with her quickly and easily via text message. Her work is exceptional and she listens to me vent about my life while she works.” –Sarah P.
15. Shila Threading, Las Vegas, Nevada
Shila Sharma believes her role as a brow artist is simply to define and enhance what’s already there. “The way brows naturally grow is usually the way they will look best on the person’s face,” Shila says. “My goal is to keep it as natural as possible.”
Shila learned to thread 2 decades ago in Nepal, and since moving to the US, she’s opened 2 of her own brow bars outside Las Vegas, where customers can choose from threading, microblading, and brow tinting services, alongside waxing, facials, henna, and lash services. Both locations only use high quality, medical-grade tools and materials.
Yelpers say: “Honestly the best place to get your eyebrows threaded. Shila does an amazing and clean job. I now live in Utah but I still go back to Las Vegas just to get my eyebrows and eyelashes done at this location. 100% recommend!” –Heavyn L.
16. A. Collins 3D Brows, Las Vegas, Nevada
Audrey Collins “became obsessed with eyebrows” after her own thinned out during pregnancy. “I had never had to do anything to my eyebrows before,” she explained. “But I found myself with nothing and had to start from scratch.”
Since becoming a brow artist, Audrey has helped more than 6,000 clients achieve their dream brows. Her salon specializes in microblading and microshading, a semi-permanent procedure similar to microblading, except that pigment is applied in tiny dots to fill out brows rather than strokes mimicking individual hairs.
Yelpers say: “I’m so happy, I can’t say enough wonderful things about this talented brow artist! Audrey listens to exactly what you are asking for, she is patient, fast, and her work is impeccable. I drive about 25 miles across town to see her— it couldn’t be more worth it. If you need brows, see her. Period.” –Andrea B.
17. Beautif-EYE Studios, Phoenix, Arizona
They’re all about the eyes at Beautif-EYE Studios. Whether you’re looking for eyebrow shaping, tinting, or eyelash extensions, the staff here has you covered.
Merci Loftus and Tori Stanley basically introduced brow threading to the Phoenix area with the launch of their salon more than a decade ago. Since then, Beautif-EYE has added new brow-trend services like microblading, and even developed its own cosmetics line to make brows easier to maintain after leaving the shop.
“Pretty early on we realized that there was no line of brow products we felt we could recommend to our clients,” Tori says. “We decided to create our own that uses powder instead of wax, because it’s much easier for the average person to use.”
Yelpers say: “I have been going here for over 3 years now and I’m obsessed. In high school, I had over-plucked my brows, but everywhere else I went continued pulling out too much hair and it made things worse! Aniesia helped me grow out my brows and reshape them to my natural shape. I highly recommend Beautif-EYE and have not touched my eyebrows or trusted anyone else since I’ve been here.” –Jacqueline R.
18. Mystique Threading Salon, Overland Park, Kansas
Kansans wanting darker and fuller looking brows are in good company. Brow tinting is Mystique’s most popular service. Pair it with an eyelash tint, and you’re set with lush brows and lashes for the month, says salon owner Farida Damani.
With more than 25 years of experience in the beauty industry, Farida is an expert at threading and waxing for brow shaping. Her salon is no-frills, but you’ll leave with great brows at a reasonable price—a brow tint costs $20, and threading will set you back just $12.
Yelpers say: “I have been going to Mystique for over a year and a half, and I would never trust anyone else with my brows! Farida and her staff do an excellent job and are always quick and courteous. I’ve recommended Mystique to many of my coworkers and friends. Threading can go very wrong, but if you go to Mystique, you will not be disappointed.” –Julia E.
19. Heena’s Salon, New York City, New York
At this lower Manhattan salon, owner Hina Patel offers brow threading for an uncharacteristically low price ($8 for an eyebrow clean-up—a steal in Midtown where prices for the same service can top $20). If you’re hoping to fluff your brows instead of thinning them, Heena also provides lamination services. During lamination, stylists use a ‘fixing’ chemical solution to straighten and lift your natural brows and keep them in the desired shape.
A trained esthetician (and Reiki therapist), Hina immigrated to the US after growing up in India. She bases her salon services on ayurvedic principles to enhance beauty and wellness holistically. Visitors can experience Ayurveda first hand when they select one of Hina’s massage or body-scrub services.
Yelpers say: “My first visit was three sessions ago and my eyebrows were in much need of repair. I booked an appointment and was warmly greeted upon arrival. Bhavi was absolutely wonderful during the consultation. She listened and gave me the step-by-step approach of how she was going to tackle my brows. She took her time! I honestly wasn’t sure that anyone would be able to get my eyebrows back to such a beautiful shape on the first visit but Bhavi did. Highly recommend!” –Bea R.
20. Perfect Eyebrow Threading, Portland, Oregon
This 3-chair salon outside of Portland is beloved for its quick, affordable, and meticulous threading services. Owned by brow artists and sisters Nira and Mira Banskota, Perfect Eyebrow Threading’s work is often described by repeat customers as “magical.” The pair have more than a decade of experience in the industry and always consult with clients as they work—not after the appointment has ended.
Yelpers say: “I made an appointment the same day over the phone and was able to get in. Mira was very sweet and welcomed me at my appointment. She listened to what I wanted and really took the time to perfect my unruly eyebrows. Salon was clean, and I will be coming back for sure!” –Ammara T. (Yelp Elite member)
