The Arches Threading Lounge

I moved to Atlanta about 6 months ago and tried several places to get my eyebrows done. None compare to the job Saleema or Neema do here. I am pretty particular about my eyebrows, so if and when I do ask for additional tweaks to the job they’ve already done, they kindly incorporate my suggestions and remember my preferences for next time.

I go to school in Atlanta and I’m very particular about who I let do my eyebrows. I have been going to this place since my first year of college & Rina would always do a PHENOMENAL job on my eyebrows. Pretty soon she was never there when I would go so I tried another lady I think her name is Jennifer? But she does such a good job. I really like this place, the staff is sweet and they take their time on your face. I always leave satisfied. The design of their new location next to urban outfitters in the mall is super nice! My only go to spot for eyebrows.

I like to go here only if there’s a certain lady (ramada?) working. The owner or whoever the head person to this place is really rough on the threading. I had no choice but for her to do my brow since my lady wasnt working and thought each person would do a good job. But I was wrong, she took out my right «tail» on my brow do it looks like it was rip off half way, I’m still trying to let my brow grow back since then!

DO NOT GET A PEDI HERE unless you like dirty kitchen sinks, stained pillows, and mind blowing pain. We don’t run with scissors, and we shouldn’t give sharp pedicure tools to just anyone. There’s blood. It’s serious.

If you want your brows done at Nascar speeds The Arches is your spot. Sure, you might lose a little skin on the way but facial expressions are overrated.
I have to give a bonus star to the «you tweeze your eyelids? You need to stop tweezing eyelids!» comment mid service… Aaaalrighty then
I would spend an extra $ 10 + tip to never feel the depths of hell on my eyebrows again.

Went in today and waited for a few minutes. I noticed there was lots of effort put into other customers eyebrows. The stylist took about 4 minutes of her time to do my brows until another customer came in looking for her services. She quickly finished me up and tried to send me out the door with an uneven brow. I asked her to fix it and she quickly patched it up. I left with shapeless eyebrows and a bad experience under my belt. No I will not be coming back. Wish I could add a pic showing what I ended up with. My brows were scabbed tremendously.

There is one young lady who does a great job threading — it’s quick and relatively painless but the others are terrible. One lady practically ripped my face off and did not have a very pleasant demeanor. She did an okay job with the shape but missed a few hairs. I’ve become miss bushy eyebrows after this last painful experience. I’ll be giving Marvi down the street a try next time. I Too in East Atlanta is inexpensive, fast and awesome but I just can’t get over there.

I wish I could give negative stars. I NEVER write reviews but need to warn other people to STAY FAR AWAY!!! I blew $ 75 on a brazilian and a mani/​pedi and had the WORST «spa» experience in every aspect. I regret tipping. Even looking past the fact the staff barely understood English, they were rude and rushing me the entire time. The woman who did my nails asked me, no lie, 10+ times if I wanted my eyebrows done or gel nails after I politely said no each time. The woman who did my pedicure in literally a SINK cut all my toe nails super short then asked me if I wanted acrylic… what??? The same was happening to my nails until I stopped her. After the pedi lady kept getting an attitude with me and didn’t get rid of any dead skin I was contemplating skipping on the wax but I had no where else to go. So after being forced to wait even though the place was deserted, for my brazilian I was led into a clinic looking room and undressed to lay on a cold, flat table. The woman who came in was no older than 19 years old and didn’t talk. There was an uncomfortable awkward silence the ENTIRE time. The wax was lumpy and most likely recycled. Brazilian??? Even though I discovered my skin was literally RIPPED off in some patches because this lady couldn’t wax, she went over every area 2 – 5 times making it waxing hell, asking me to pull my skin tighter. I’ve been waxed numerous times before but the pain this time was excruciating. The most unprofessional part was near the end of my wax, mid-​butt cheek spreading somebody knocked on the door and she let them in!!! I was so shocked, the door swung wide open and my privacy was mocked. After she had a convo with her in another language with me on the table, still butt-​cheeks spread, she continued with this waxing hell and in the end I was red as a baboon’s butt with HAIRY PATCHES ALL OVER. I did not want her going over anything again so I said it was fine and left, still sticky everywhere too. How could this have gone worse? Oh AND my nail polish chipped after an hour. You couldn’t pay me to come back here.

I have been getting my eyebrows threaded at various threading places for many years now and most times the beautician tries to push other services/​products at me.
I went into Arches and asked the beautician’s recommendation if I should get an additional service and she said in her opinion I didn’t need it. That makes this place a stand out in my mind.

I was not at all satisfied with this location. I should have suspected something when in Lenox mall all stores and services were filled with patrons… all of course except this place. It was absolutely no one there with exception of the staff. Complete ghosttown, which rarely happens at ANY store on a Saturday afternoon. However I tried to still give them a chance based on the reviews listed here. I wish I didn’t. They did a poor job and are not skilled in the art of threading. My brows were clearly arched differently from each other. Overall I give two thumps down. Rushed job and sloppy work. I will just travel the distance to I too! They always do a good job.

I walked in to The Arches on Wed. during my lunch break. The lounge is located in almost an isolated and empty part of the mall right next to the Lennox Grill and down the hallway from Panera Bread.
The lounge was deserted when I got there and only had 1 other customer by the time I was seated. I asked the lady to reshape my brows since they were growing in a downward slant. She said that she will try, but unless we went ultra short on the ends it wouldn’t be corrected. Since I didn’t want that, I asked her to clean it up instead.
Now, I purposefully waited a few days before posting a review just to see how the work was. I did like how she kept my brows on the full side. I really, really hate it when they thread your brows into these pencil thin lines! I don’t see the point, because if that was what i wanted, I could have kept my money and just shaved it off and then take an actual pencil to where my brows were.
On the other hand, she missed quite a few strays. These weren’t light strays either, but rather dark, visible to the naked eye strands. But I can understand and can overlook this since like I said, it was shaped nicely. I can always do the upkeep/​maintenance work until my next appointment.
I do wished that the staff was a bit more nicer and the lighting better in the lounge.

I love this place! I can’t wax like most due to AHA use. But threading is WAY better and more effective than waxing. It lasts much longer. The Arches is also cheaper than getting waxed usually. The only thing that I don’t love is that there is usually a wait and I have to go to the mall to get there. I wish that it was in a regular shopping center where parking is easier :/

I go here when I can’t get to my regular spot. It’s easy to get in and out and they are pretty quick. Everyone there is friendly.

I have been getting my eyebrows threaded for five years, in various cities from San Fran to Chicago because I frequently relocate. I found The Arches on Unilocal and decided to give it a try.
I just came out of there and can not tell you disappointed I am. I told them I wanted a touch up on my eyebrows, ie clean them up like normal. The girl that threaded did such a horrible job — my left eyebrow is literally ¼ inch shorter than my right, she took off so much! Never have I seen such a worse job done… and you can tell she took off too much because there are long strands of eyebrow hair a ¼ inch below where she cut it all off.
I don’t often write reviews but I am so furious at how quickly she threaded and then caused mistakes. It will take me months to grow back what she took off. Maybe it’s bad luck but I am not going back.

I just went there today: the Indian lady could take me for threading as soon as I entered the salon, w/​o appointment.
I am very pleased by the result and the service overall. I paid only $ 15 for brow+lip. I am only visiting Atlanta but would come back if I had the chance or recommend it.

Love this place!
I usually went every week to get waxed and it was $ 10 that equaled to $ 40 a month. I go to The Arches it’s $ 10 and I only have to go once a month. Literally it lasted a month til hair started to grow back in. It is kinda painful, I can only imagine what the bikini zone would feel like.
Make sure to get the really hot Indian chick at Lenox to do it because she is the best and easy on the eyes.

I have been going to The Arches for the past 7 years and hope to go for many more years to come. I am ALWAYS pleased with the results. Every single threader there pays amazing attention to detail and the owner Saleema makes sure everyone leaves satisfied.
Threading doesn’t hurt as much as wax and I have found that I can go three weeks without going back. It’s extremely budget friendly: 1– I don’t go as often as I would waxing and 2– it’s only $ 10 to get the most perfectly shaped brow. It never fails, I get at least 3 compliments a week on my brow shape… I would move states with The Arches if they did!!! Saleema and the girls are so professional, and it just takes one look at your face shape for them to know the appropriate shape you need.
i’m so pleased with them!!!

I frequently visit the Arbor Place location. I remember when they were located at a kiosk upstairs – I must be a brave soul because I subjected myself to the curious eyes of the uninitiated folks of West Georgia and East Alabama who’ve never seen someone shape eyebrows with a piece of thread.
Fast forward a year or so – they’ve moved to an actual storefront, just across from Borders on the lower level. The ladies are good, and most are quite pleasant. It takes them less than 10 minutes to get your eyebrows shaped up, and all for $ 10.
I couldn’t give this place five stars because of the attitude of the manager of the Arbor Place location, Rina. (I think that’s her name.) She’s good, yes, but when I last came in, she acted like I was interrupting something when I requested my eyebrows to be threaded. Then, when I got in the chair, apparently I didn’t hold my eyebrow the way SHE wanted me to, because she snatched my hands and put them in the proper place. No ma’am. I guess she figured out that I wasn’t too pleased, because after that she kept asking if I was okay.
I don’t take too kindly to paying for a service and being treated as if I’m a nuisance.

I live by threading, and with my job taking me up and down the East Coast, I have been to many a threading salon. This (the Lenox Mall location) is one of the better ones!
No frills, but they get the job done. I have had a problem in the past with being threaded by grouchy people, and the women here seemed really nice. I got my whole face done for 30 bucks, which is a great price. I am definitely coming back here when in Atlanta.

The Arches is a great deal. $ 10 for eyebrows, and it takes less than 10 minutes. The woman who did my brows listened to what I wanted and did a great job.
This isn’t a chatty salon, and no one will offer you green tea or do anything fancy. If you don’t need all of that, this place is a fabulous deal. The price can’t be beat, and for my skin this works much better than waxing (no burns, no red bumps).
