Benefit Brow Bar at Macy’s

I took my daughter to get her brows done for prom. My 15 yr daughter wanted the new updated arch. Sadly I only know how to do old school 90’s style! So off to the the Benefit Brow Bar in Macy’s we went. Ashley was our brow girl. She is amazing, up beat and totally adorable, my daughter felt completely comfortable with her. She gave her the arch she wanted and taught her how to comb, fill and gel for look she was trying to achieve. I got her the gel and was so sold I bought my self one too. My daughter will definitely be back. If I can get my brows to grow in I will be paying a visit to her chair in the future too. In the mean time Ashley taught me how to use their gel to achieve a fuller look!

I had an amazing experience here. I’d definitely recommend people to get their eyebrows done here!

Sarah, sarah, sarah. She’s the best and I make it a point to get scheduled with her when I go that way. She always does an amazing job with my eye brows and can tell you how to work the products. She’s is really friendly and remembers me every time I go in.
The other associates are always friendly and helpful as well.

Do not go here. The girl took a simple clean up job and ripped half my eyebrows out. Now the shape is terrible, I have numerous bald patches in my brows, and bumps from the wax. She even tried to hide it by drawing outside of the eyebrow when «filling me in» so I didn’t notice till I got home. It will take me two months of growing them back out to fix this and meanwhile I will have terrible brows.

Amazing! Is all I can say. I have been going to Cassar for two years and I am so pleased with her work! I will never go anywhere else.

I have been here many times to get my eyebrows waxed. I have also been assisted by many different young ladies, all of which have been very polite and friendly. I have never been disappointed with how my brows turn out. The prices are more than fair. Additionally, the employees always put a bit of makeup on after my wax in order to disguise the redness. Also, you get a free brow wax the week of your birthday.

I’ve been going to various benefit brow bars for years now. My last two visits to this one in Roseville were PERFECT. My eyebrows are looking much better now that they had been! Yay!!! I definitely recommend this place. Not sure why Unilocal is showing this placed as possibly closed. It’s definitely still open. I have an appt tomorrow with Ms. Gina! ;)

I loved this place and had been going there for along time. On my last visit the wax burnt my upper eyelid. I got a scab and it hurt for a few days. Won’t be going back… They need to make sure the wax isn’t too hot before putting it on your skin! It could easily burn someone and cause permanent damage to the skin.

I use to get my eyebrows waxed at your regular hometown nail shop and i was never satisfied with their service and the finished product. My eyebrows would either be uneven or way too thin. Never the way i wanted it. Now that i started going to the Benefit Brow Bar i don’t have that problem anymore! When one the estheticians, Sarah is awesome. She always makes sure you are 100% comfortable before she starts waxing, the wax they use is painless, and she interacts with you like a friend rather than a plain customer. She always wax and fills in my eyebrows to my liking and gives me tips on how to fill in my eyebrows at home. I definitely recommend Sarah! She is by far one of the best :)

I’ve always been very picky about my eye brows, I definitely never thought I’d ever be able to pull off the filled in eyebrow look… Or at least do it correctly. Sarah not only made me feel comfortable and listened to me but she also showed me how to fill in my eye brows correctly! I set up an appt for next month and will ALWAYS be sure to come back to her! If you want good brows book with Sarah! You won’t be disappointed.

I’ve been desperately trying to find a good waxer in Roseville after a few not so great experiences at a threading place and also at the EWC. I had no idea that Benefit even had a brow bar until I stumbled upon the reviews here on Unilocal.I immediately called and made an appointment for the next day.
Melissa did my wax and she is amazing. She didn’t overdo it, left my tails alone, cleaned and trimmed everything and them combed them differently than I usually do, but in a way that made me say, «Why haven’t I been combing them like that my whole life?»
After she waxed she cleaned everything up and used Brow Zings to fill everything in and Boing to cover up the redness. She also put some highlighter and mascara on my eyes. All while chatting pleasantly. She did try to sell me on several products, but that happens at EWC also, and at least at Benefit the products are fabulous. I didn’t buy anything but the wax, but will likely pick up some concealer and Brow Zings next time.
An eyebrow wax at Benefit runs $ 20. But be ready with some cash for the tip because you cannot add it on to your credit card purchase. I had absolutely no cash on me the day I was there and was about to run to an ATM but the cashier said that people often tip the gals in Starbucks gift cards, so I went out to the Starbucks that is just outside Macy’s and bought a $ 5 gift card and took it back.
I made an appointment, but I believe they take walk ins, if you are prepared to wait. You have to make an appointment at least 2 hours in advance, so you could always go in and make an appointment then make it the last stop on your shopping trip.
Anyway, five huge stars for Melissa and Benefit. They rock!

On a whim I stopped at the Brow Bar while shopping at Macy’s. I was greeting by a young woman named Rike. She waxed my brows and showed me how to fill in to make them look fuller until they grow out «correctly». Extremely friendly. Made an appointment to return in a few weeks.

Benefit in Roseville is the best one by far. I have had my eyebrows done at the Natomas, Arden, and Galleria locations and always ended up back at Roseville Ulta because they do the best job. I HIGHLY recommend Lisa. I have been going to her for a few years now and have never had a bad experience. My eyebrows always look stunning and she is SO sweet. My favorite thing is she remembers you and the conversations you had the last time you got your brows done. It’s nice to have an attentive waxer, it makes getting your brows done like going to see a friend rather than a chore. LOVE LOVE LOVE her and her amazing work :) make sure to make an appointment because she is always booked up! That’s what happens when you’re awesome!

The brow ladies are AMAZING, and the products arexequally great. The sales girls really know their product, which is of incredible quality (hello, they’re owned by Louis Vuitton!). If you don’t have a playstick, some Hello Flawless, and Hervana, with unspeakably fabulous brows, you’re just plain missing out.
Make sure to bring cash to tip!

I went to set-​up an appointment and was told there was one person ahead of me. I asked the clerk about how long it would be and she said, «I can’t tell you that — I have no idea.» So I asked her how would I know when to come back. She told me try in about 15 minutes. I did come back in that exact time frame only to find no one at the bar. I waited a couple of minutes and two clerks came back. I was told that there was still one person ahead of me in a very snobby voice. I asked if that was still the same one person and was told, «You were told to try and come back in 15 minutes — you were not told that we would take you then.» Also in a very snobby voice. I will never go back there for sure.

I almost vowed to never go to another Benefit Brow Bar after the horrible experience that I had at the one at the Arden Mall (oh yeah, I wrote a review about that one). But, since I was in the Roseville area after an interview, I felt like I needed a bit of esteem boost and headed to the Galleria Mall for some «retail therapy». The mall had just opened at 10am so I walked inside the Macy’s and to my surprise, they had a brow bar! I asked the two nice ladies if I could get my brows done and they said to come back in 5 minutes because the wax was heating up. So, 10 minutes later of shopping at Sephoria and getting lost in a sea of little kids and their mom’s, I came back and got my brows done. The gal asked me how I liked mine shaped (they never asked me at the Arden location) and made some idle chitchat. I was happy that these ladies were much nicer and not as snobby as the other bar. I think I will be coming to this location more often, even if it is 14.8 miles away from my home. If I continue to get this awesome result, 5.7 miles to the Arden location is not worth it!

Note– posted the same review twice as the business has two listings on Unilocal
I usually go to the Benefit Brow Bar in San Francisco (you can check them out in my other reviews) to see Rachel, because I absolutely love her and the job she does on my eyebrows. But sometimes it is a little inconvenient to drive downtown and find parking to get my eyebrows done, so I figured I would try this one while I was visiting. I pretty much trust Benefit as I have never had a negative experience being waxed by anyone at any Benefit Brow Bar. I checked out their reviews and read good things about Misty so I went in without an appointment to see her. I only waited about 10 minutes, because she was already waxing another customer, and that was on a Saturday evening! I figured I would have to wait much longer on a weekend night without an appointment! Even after reading the reviews about Misty I was a little nervous just because she is who hasn’t done my brows before and there is always the possibility of them not coming out as expected. I have to say, Misty did an amazing job! They seemed a little busy but she took the time to make sure I was happy, which wasn’t hard because as soon as I picked up the mirror I had no complaints! She cleaned up the shape, they look natural but polished, and I found a new place to get my eyebrows done in Roseville! I’m so glad I found this place because now I don’t have to stress if I don’t have the time to see Rachel in the city before I come to Roseville for a visit!
I also spent a great deal of time talking/​playing makeup with Courtney who does not do eyebrows but touched up my makeup for me and applied makeup to my mom (who never wears makeup but found a lipgloss and a eyeshadow that she loves there) and my best friend who got her brows waxed as well. She wasn’t pushy at all but still convinced us to buy more makeup than we expected… not her fault though because it just looked so good! :D Courtney was a total sweetheart and when we left my mom said it was like she was her new best friend! She is so friendly and it makes you very comfortable experimenting and finding new looks! Can’t wait to come back!

Yes I am too a fan. I have been searching for a good brow wax since Feb (when we moved here). Thanks for Unilocal, I gave this place a try. For $ 20 you get a brow wax, and for $ 7 more you can add upper lips. I see Jillian but seems like all the girls do a good job. I was told they are professionally trained by Benefits in addition to being licensed. If you are wanting your brows done right, go here first.

I was looking for someone in the area who could do a good brow wax and happened to find reviews about the Benefit Brow Bar in Macy’s at Arden Fair. I wandered through Macy’s Galleria on a weekday and found that they also have a Benefit Brow Bar and immediately was able to have my brows waxed by Misty (she’s highly spoken of in the Unilocal reviews from Arden Fair and has moved to this location). They looked great, and I’m about to go for a return appointment. They add a soothing lotion at the end to soothe the redness. Take a magazine picture along if you want to be sure that you and the waxer are on the same wave length about how you want your brows to look. Misty did a great job with my just telling her I wanted a medium weight (if that’s how you say it) eyebrow. They have many products, but it’s not a hard sell. You might want to check what you already have before you go so you won’t rebuy (eyebrown pencils or fillers — also regular makeup). The cost is $ 20, and I slipped a $ 5 tip into the envelope. I thought it was a real bargain because of the quality of work and being able to pop in without making an appointment. You can call and make an appointment if you want to go back to the same person: add extension 4424 to the telephone number above.

What was cool about getting my brows and lips waxed here ($ 27 for both) is that I didn’t have to make an appointment, just signed up while I happened to be Xmas shopping, AND they used Benefit products to clean me up, concealer to hide the redness and brow shaper to color in my brows. The wax also is a good quality, «better than what’s found in beauty stores,» at least according to my aesthetician/​sales girl. The only downside is that they do that thing that makeup salesgirls do which is try to push products on you. But I guess they’re just doing their job and it’s not like they act huffy if you say no. And yet I did fall for the pitch, I need that concealer, I need that Benetint pocket pal. In any case, you are still expected to tip even though this is a department store. Not that that’s a bad thing. They hand you a little envelope so you can leave a cash tip for your aesthetician.
My girl was Lillian and she was nice and quick. And she did a good job with the concealer cuz I didn’t have any apparent redness.
