Bombay Brow Bar

I have been to Bombay kitsilano location many times and every time I walk out after the brow shaping service, my brows will always be on point. This time though, I tried brow tinting for the first time. I am quite worried that I will end up with a blocky brow that will make me look angry. After the technician wiped off the dye, I was scared at first because the color was a little dark for my liking. But she explained that the color will fade after the message, which felt amazing like always! The tint did fade, and it faded into a nice gradient that looked extremely natural. Now I don’t need to worry about filling in my brows for awhile and yes, I will always come back to Bombay!

The lady who did my brows did them exactly how I wanted them: thick and clean. Super professional staff; courteous and skilled technicians– what more can you ask for from a threading shop?

So glad I went here. These women are pros at shaping. My brows look great. The only caveat is I have sensitive skin and it got a couple of tiny nicks in the process (much better though, than another brow place in the city, which gave me multiple cuts). When I phoned them the next day to let them know, they promised they would be extra careful next time, and I’m hoping they will be as I would like to come back. The makeup they used afterwards was perfect — very natural looking and not overdone. It’s a bit pricey for me; I look forward to growing out my brows a bit and coming back once in a while to keep the shape clean.

It was my first time having my eyebrows threaded, the result was fantastic! Even though it stung more than waxing. I even bought the brow makeup and I’m loving it! Only wish I lived closer because now I’m spoiled. Definitely try it out if you get a chance, I will go back anytime I’m in town again. Thank you ladies!!!

The staff was very nice but I could barely see my tint after. Maybe it was the lighting in there. But seriously… i paid $ 20 w tip for not much. I’ve got a tint done for $ 8 at a cheaper place on davie and it lasted longer. Honestly I wouldn’t go back (for a tint). but I’m assuming they’d be great at shaping eyebrows.

After having a bad eyebrow experience about a year ago (yes it has been a full year) I decided to take my chances and get them done again.
I called ahead to make an appt, they offered drinks right away, took my information and were very thorough with explaining the process.
I am very particular in my shape and she first lined how she would clean the brow and when she started threading she kept checking if it was acceptable. She applied a rose gel after which smelled amazing to soothe the skin and topped it off with a massage.
They also have rewards programs where when you have gone to a number of appointments you get either a free brow session or can take home some of their products. Happy to have found my new brow spot.

I went here for the first time today and was really impressed by the décor and everyone was friendly. Obviously the price point is quite high so I expected it to be an awesome experience. I felt that it was really awkward and the fact that I had to sign multiple waivers was a bit odd. They ignored what I said about what I wanted for my brows and told me that they had to wax them a certain way for them to remain even. I now have two completely different shaped brows. I won’t be returning and don’t see the value in the price.

Love this place! My daughter and I were warmly welcomed and made to feel pampered. My technician took a lot of time to make sure I understood what she was doing and how to get the brows I wanted. She finished off my session with a fantastic head massage and makeup on my brows and eyelids. I even bought a package for more sessions. I’d definitely recommend them.

I have only been to the Kits location and every time I have had the best service. The front desk girls are always professional and friendly and the eyebrow service is top-​notch. You definitely pay way more than one of the many small places in town where you can get threading but I think it’s worth every penny. You can guarantee your eyebrows will look amazing and you’ll enjoy the whole experience. Chai tea, nice atmosphere, massage, etc. I’m a big fan and wish they would open a location in Richmond!

I absolutely love getting my brows done here. Service is excellent and they work pure magic with their treads. I have had several different girls do my brows and have to say they are all great. They serve delicious chia tea while you wait and the atmosphere is perfect. I am always so happy when I leave.

The nicest people and very knowledgable! First visit after walking in to book an appointment with the very polite front end staff which was for an upper lip threading. I’ve never had threading done before and I was walked through it without feeling small and in fact they were extremely nice and professional the entire time.
And the time! I walked in at 11:00 and walked out at 11:12, very speedy! I was even given aftercare tips since my skin was a little red (I have sensitive and acne prone skin so this was not a shocker).
Also I would like to say that an hour later my skin is still tingly but no longer red or inflamed! This is a new thing for me as I usually have a red swollen lip hours after I have hair removed.
I can’t say enough about this place, they now have another customer for life.

I’ve read enough reviews from the female patrons — time for a male’s perspective.
I started going to the Kits location because I was curious about the service. I used to have my brows waxed but didn’t like how they grew back in. I heard that if I got them threaded, the grow in period is longer between services.
As I’m curious by nature, I followed my instinct and walked in. Fortunately for me they had an opening and I was seen right away. I honestly don’t remember much about the first service. But suffice it to say, I was impressed enough to book a future appointment and have been doing so for the last year and a half.
The main reason for going back is because of my brow tech Jas. She has made sure to clean up and shape my brows in such a way that they look manicured without being too thin or effeminate. She always knows how much pressure to apply for the forehead massage too. I don’t have a uni-​brow or caterpillars above my eyes, but I’m particular about my appearance and she always makes sure my eyebrows are done to my expectations. She has yet to disappoint.
I’ve developed a friendship with both her and the location manager. I’m always greeted by name and I love how they’re all smiles when I walk in. I can’t ask for better treatment than that.
I live in White Rock and could go to a local threading place if I choose to. But since I’m always given such excellent service at each appointment, why would I? The drive to Kits is worth it for me.
Thank you everyone at Bombay Kits! You’ve got a customer for life!

Brow care with a luxury touch and price.
This was my first experience with threading. It sits a few blocks from home and I’ve walked past the boutique-​y spa nearly everyday since moving here. I had been completely curious, but this was the first time I’d actually walked in the doors.
When I walked in, I was pretty certain this chique place, that was filled with well maintained beautiful women, had never seen the likes of my uni-​brow. Nonetheless, I was greeted kindly with a cup of freshly brewed chai tea that I sipped while sitting with my «tweezer lady» as we reviewed the brow shape that I was most interested in. She held up a mirror, penciled in my desired brow shape and let me review it before she started in on the threading. They said it was going to be painless. They lied. OK, maybe if you had normal brows, unlike me, it would have been painless. She used a thread much like dental floss, wrapped it around the hair that fell outside of my desired shape and then she pulled them out with the thread. I could hear the hair ripping out, my eyes watered and I could feel the mutilated hairs falling all over my face. On a positive note, it didn’t last very long. The threading was followed by a trimming, a little tweezing, a rose oil facial massage and a make-​up application. My brows have never looked better.
With tax and a tip, my threading came to $ 30. I’ve had haircuts that cost less than that. Granted, you’ll never find a haircut that cheap in Vancouver. I came home and tried coaxing my husband into going in for their service for men: «boys’ brow» threading. They claim to be able to turn your man into a ‘brow boy hottie.’ I don’t think he’s sold.

Alright, I’m starting to regret some of the items in my previous post about this place.
Over the last year, there has been great consistency with the «brow-​ladies» — until today. All of the ladies have been encouraging brow-​growth in certain areas — and I was proud of the development (seeing as it takes a LOOONG time for these areas to grow in) … and then today’s lady quickly zipped it all off — leaving me with one thick eyebrow; and one thin eyebrow in an «attempt to make the two level». Now the one she «fixed» is half the size and sits much higher than the other one.
When you go to the location on 4^th, WHO DO YOU ASK FOR? CAN YOU REQUEST A SPECIFIC PERSON? Without booking with specific names, it’s not worth the gamble again!
Looking for your recommendations on who to ask for!

The girl I had that morning I went into do my brows was really good! OK so I used to go to this place in Richmond to get my eyebrows done for 7 dollars. That place was good, until the owner decided to mess up my eyebrows by assigning me a ‘trainee’ girl to do them. Lo and behold one eyebrow was thinner than the other, and one was definitely higher than the other. I was so pissed I never went back again. Thus began my quest for a new good brow bar.
I’ve been going to bombay for the last year now. I’ve been to this location and the other one down by yaletown, both have been really good. My last experience at the kits location though was like the best one yet! The girl who did my brows immediately mentioned how one brow was higher than the other. My god was it still noticeable a year after that lady messed it up?! ANYWAY, she ended up fixing it, did what I wanted, was super nice and accommodating, and gave me tips on how to grow them out better, what i shouldnt be doing to them, where i should or should not pluck etc etc. Really happy with my last visit. 23 $ may seem a bit steep, but I personally think it’s worth the trip down and worth the money =)

I gotta admit, I had my reservations. I was happy with my regular eyebrow girl (who does it for all of $ 5) and was apprehensive to go to anyone BUT her for fear that I would end up with singed eyebrows.
But on a day of pampering from my friend she wanted to take me there so I obliged.
What a pleasant surprise! The décor was lovely and colourful and very clean. Service was great, right from the receptionist to my esthetician. Jasmin started out by first giving me a consult as to where my browline should be, cleaned them up a bit (you have the choice of threading, tweezing, or waxing), then I received a relaxing upper face massage.
Ok I just read that and yes «upper face massage» sounds odd but trust me it was lovely.
While it’s a little more pricy than my usually place, you know you’re paying for the experience and not just a quick service.

Rock your brows — indian style!
I went to this location once to get my eyebrows threaded and it was the best eyebrow experience i ever had. It was such a relaxing environment and i felt like a queen with the pampering. I got the bombshell brows — i had them shaped, threaded and even had a short massage. Its a little pricey but it was a good experience. All the locations are in vancouver, i wish they were more spread out over the lower mainland.

I have to say, Bombay Brow Bar is very beautiful in it’s décor. Their staff are also very very lovely and attentive. However, after doing some research, the price points for their services could be considered to be a little on the steep side for what it is that you’re getting. I like that its a full service bar — from consultation, to procedure, to healing, to makeup. I haven’t heard or seen any other eyebrow salons include that in their services! One downer is the lotions that they usually use to massage into my eyebrows and forehead after the services ALWAYS make me break out in those areas! I feel confident when I walk out the studio, but then by the evening am completely self-​conscious of the skin surrounding my eyebrows!
Other than those minor negativeness, all together I’m satisfied with BBB and definitely say their customer service is amazing!

A couple of years ago, in preparation for a high-​level charity event I was to be attending (think cocktail dress, private K’naan performance and a $ 250 ticket entry) I was out and about in Yaletown when I came across a bold store front decked with fuchsia pink, gold and deep purple fabric named Bombay Brow Bar .
Naturally drawn to bright colours, I ventured inside and instantly fell in love.
Bombay Brow Bar (BBB) is a chic eyebrow bar, and as they state affectionately as well as very accurately, they rock brows– indian style.
Co-​Founders Ravy Mehroke and Amy Minhas have created a business completely devoted to the fine art of brow pampering, and for someone (me) who is a bit accident prone in the eyebrow department (serious scars from bad attempts at waxing, and no steady hand), this ultra-​femme service was a god send.
Since my first successful experience 2 years ago, I have become a loyal customer returning whenever I need a brow fixer-​uper.
Today I was in for my usual «bombshell brows» at the w4th location when I asked my brow technician if the brow colour I had been using — a dark grey eye shadow (sometimes I get creative in the make up dept) was accurate for my natural brow shade; and thankfully she re-​directed me to the BBB line Hi-​Brow Shadow.
After showing me a few shades and matching one thats best suiting to my natural hair colour (ash blonde) she outfitted me with Hi-​Brow shade Ash Brown.
Of course, being the savvy ladies that they are, they include a complementary brow make up session card as well as some brushes with the purchase– who doesn’t love complementary gifts?
Now for those ladies (and gents) who are curious about BBB, I recommend checking them out– with locations in Yaletown, W4th & within the Shangri-​La Hotel and a Service Menu that has something for everyone, you will become a #BBBaddict within no time.
If they can fix my brows?
The can do anything.
Seriously.
Rock your brows– Indian style!

Perfect place for first-​timers. These people are sculpting experts and super friendly. I would pay the extra ten dollars for the deluxe package so that you can find out how to get your brows done properly.
OR JUST GO HERE FOR THEIR CHAI!
