Review from Reena M.
10/13/2010 5 Check-ins Here
It just so happened that Mona Lisa was on my way this weekend and I desperately needed my eyebrows done. I heard so many good things about this place (through Yelp) so I thought I'd check it out.
They were pretty quick with taking us in, and got the job done right (I only asked for a clean up, since my eyebrow shape is already defined), and it was only $5.60 with HST. On the other hand, my regular eyebrow place only charges ~$3.50 with HST.
I would really give this place 4.5 stars, because other than the price, everything else about this place is quite good. -

I used to come here all the time for my eyebrows but since I tried New Vision from across the street, I just come here when the other place is closed. Mona lisa and New Vision are in the same caliber (in my opinion). Mona lisa used to charge just 5 bucks for eyebrow threading but now it's 5.60 cdn the last couple of times I've been here (whereas its 60 cents cheaper in New Vision). I also leave a 2 dollar tip.
Anyway, I only let Asha -the owner touch my eyebrows (I made the mistake of allowing some random girl touch my brows -they ended up unevenly shaped). I also make it a point to tell Asha I want it NOT too thin especially since full brows are "in" nowadays. Also remember to remove your eyebrow makeup before you go threading so they can really shape it nicely (I noticed from personal experience that threaders-both from New Vision and Mona Lisa alike, tend to overestimate the thickness with makeup, and you end up with super duper THIN brows). -

I have to forwarn you.. Look at your threaders eyebrows before you get them done!
And when you find a girl who does them well... take down her name to remember.
I went with a lady who's eyebrows were too thin for my liking.. I asked for the usual, natural, define.. and well.. She really went to town with her thread! A bit too thin for my liking.
Mind you I am very very, very picky and particular about my eyebrows. I like them very thick and natural to my shape. They are the only thing you have when you don't have makeup up.
Everyone says "oh yeah they look great, no perfect really!"
But again.. I'm picky.
Le Sigh.
However my mom's looked great and alltogether it came to a very nominal price.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Great place for eyebrow threading! I read the reviews and decided to get my eyebrows done by Asha only to be safe. Tell her what you want (thickness, arch). She listens to what you want and she delivers. This place is quick, cheap, and does a good job. I will definitely return! :)

Waits can be long, but it's as cheap as it gets for eyebrow threading! Guys and gals wait equally for a great experience.

Reference: I've had my eyebrows waxed at various salons. Threading at Meenu's on Mainstreet.
I can sum up my 10 minute experience at Mona Lisa in 6 words:
"$5 threading you can't beat!"
They are quick, friendly, reasonably priced, and experienced.
I have thin sensitive skin around my eyes and waxing just always left it raw, painful, and bleeding no matter where I had it done.
I've had threading at another salon -- which was better than waxing, but still left some bleeding and scabs to heal. They also often made my eyebrows look too thin!!
Mona lisa has an experienced threader who listens ("Not too thin please!!!" ) and the experience was more painless than anywhere I've ever been!
Wait time was negligent. You walk in, take a seat in the back, and they pretty much just thread and send you off -- which is perfect for anyone who has a schedule to keep.
The only draw back as far as I can tell is parking in the area.
Otherwise, it's : Two thumbs up! -

I've been going to Mona Lisa on Fraser St. for the last, at least, 5 years to get my eyebrows threaded.
Recommeded to me by an extremely well groomed male co-worker, Mona Lisa doesn't disappoint in price & most importantly giving you the most beautiful eyebrows you've ever had. The lady who owns the salon is very pleasant & sometimes does the threading herself. Otherwise, there are several other girls in the back who also do eyebrow threading & just as great a job.
No appointment needed, they do get tons of walk-ins. Just as my first visit, the cost is *still* $5 & unlike the reviewer below, I take public transit 25 minutes to get 'em done, it's that worth it. -

Oh Mona Lisa...I drive at least 25 minutes to get here, but it's so worth it. You see painless eyebrow shaping not to mention a whopping $5 to get it all done has never been easier. Okay, so in the heart of little India just south of Fraser Street are all the shops that do threading. It's an East Asian way of removing hair from the eyebrows and upper lip. Not waxing necessary. For only $5, you get beautiful brows. And it's really painless. The salon is run by and East Indian lady who is really nice. It smells like incents. You sit in a chair and she takes the thread in between her teeth and pulls it until the hairs get plucked from your eyebrows. It feels like little prickles and doesn't hurt at all. The salon is not that nice, but clean enough. It's very fast and you don't need an appointment. For $7, you get your upper lips and eyebrows done.

Great for getting eyebrows threaded. Definitely recommend. Cheap too. Sometimes a wait, but they're fast.

I tried Mona Lisa based on Yelp recommendations and I completely agree! Great price, they're really quick and they shape them really well. Totally worth checking out.
