To all of you who are still wandering around looking for an amazing shape- Have you heard of Rescue Spa... You will not find a more personable friendly and passionate person that is the eyebrow guru of Philadelphia.. I have been going to Erica for 4 years now and she is truly the most gifted and creative when it comes to brows... Erica will tweeze, shape and tint your eyebrows where they should be on a magazine. Erica is attentive and will use hardwax if you prefer this over tweezing. After she calms the skin.

Review
This salon is cool, has a friendly staff and has a lot of potential (BYOB a big plus). However - VERY Poor communication in terms of making reservations/booking private parties. Website does not reflect the correct pricing information. When we got there, most of the items listed on the menu were not available. Vegan nail polish requires lengthy drying period, of which we were not informed and we all ruined our pedicures. In my opinion, the threader at the Beauty Bar has a lot to learn; She missed some spots in the center of my brows and had to go back in with a tweezer. In addition, I did not appreciate that she spoke ill of her competition - Shanti Med Spa - they employ the only reputable, skilled and experienced threader in Philly. Unfortunately, we have all agreed to take our business elsewhere until customer service and execution is improved.

HORRIBLE!!! I’ve always had my brows threaded. However, I have never been to a place that did such a bad job. My brows are uneven, cut too short, and patchy. I will never go back again and definitely don’t recommend this location to others. My brows look so bad its really upsetting.
