Review from T Y.

Good downtown spot for threading. The ladies there have the perfect South Asian shaped eyebrows.
Decent spot at $8 - but like the other reviews point out - the threading is quite quick and no post wipe after threading. No appointments required which is great. Good price and ok service. -

This place is awesome, so cheap and yet they give you a frequent shopper punch card for a free service, really! I wish I was blessed with easy to maintain brows, but no such luck. I have never had as nice shape to them as when these ladies get at me with the spool.

Quite frankly, most places that have adjectives in the title outright blow. "Yummy Sandwiches" usually translates to "two slices of cardboard with turd filling" and "Happy Hungarian" usually boasts the most bleak and despondent employees I've seen this side of the Cold War, know what I mean?
Perfect Threading thankfully lives up to its name - my brows look perfect. What keeps this from being a five star review is the fact that it was quite painful and took about ten minutes longer than expected. I've been getting my brows threaded for years in Rexdale (for $3 might I add) and it never takes more than 1-2 minutes. Those girls are experts.
The girl who threaded my brows wasn't nearly as fast, and even her hair-culling technique was slow and drawn out. When you remove a band-aid, you do it quickly, yeah? Imagine it being slowly pulled away from the surface of your skin...and then repeat that several dozen times for this threading transaction. I was weepy afterwards. My guess is that I could pluck my eyebrows in that amount of time.
Also lacking was post-threading cleanup. A brush to the face or Kleenex to wipe up the debris would have been nice. I did appreciate the aloe rubdown though.
I'll be back, but only if I can't get a ride to Rexdale.

I read the reviews before heading down to Perfect Threading so I was a bit apprehensive but at the same time really needed some brow and lip action...so I threw my flag to the wind and decided to give PT a chance.
I was impressed with the threading here. The lady who did mine didn't ask me what shape or anything she just sat me down and went to work. She herself had those beautifully perfect middle-eastern eyebrows (you know the ones because you probably want them too!) so I felt confident in her shaping abilities. They came out great - no stray hairs, and not too thin. They really know how to do brows here.
The cons: well I can only think of one con and I may only be thinking of it because it was mentioned already...but it is true, there is no after-threading-face-wiping action going on here. You may have to spend an extra $5.00 somewhere else for that kind of service. They do offer you a tissue to wipe your face though..for the price I can make do!
If you go to their website you can print off coupons. Also, everyday they have services discounted. Eyebrows and lip cost about 15.00 after tax.
All in all, I feel like a girl again so am happy with the results! Happy threading! -

This spot really is as good as it gets for a threadjob downtown. Easily accessible, no appointments required, clean space, and non-stop Hindi dance fever on TV. I was in and out in ten minutes flat.
Don't expect any frills or small talk. A brush (instead of tissue) to wipe my forehead afterwards would have been nice. But, whatever, I've got $8 downtown brows and they've got a repeat customer in me.
Make sure to grab an eyebrow threading dealy card from them: 9 visits and your 10th time is for free. -

I LOVE this place. I hadn't touched my brows since I last wrote a review and they looked like fuzzy caterpillars until I strolled on in.
On their website they have daily deals and on Wednesday they have an eyebrows and upper lip combo for $11. The woman that serviced me thought it was funny that I referred to it as a "deal" but it totally was! Forget deal, it's a steal! (It's also a combo - you can kind of mix and match, but I'll stick with the original combo.)
Again, absolutely painless (how do they do it?) and absolutely perfect brows. They're not out there to shape them, just clean them up, and for that, I can relax the moment I lie down in the chair.
I also noticed that they have henna for $5 (I plan on going one day just for that) and massages that are $1 a minute, for 15 or 30 minutes/dollars. To date, that is the best deal I have seen in the city, but no sign of RMT license.
The ladies who work here are as nice as can be and smile so much. On my way out I was wished "a GREAT day" at least four times. Thanks!
Bollywood and aloe cream still reign supreme at this place. I am fiercely loyal to Perfect Threading.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Hana B.
Updated - 3/17/2010
From the last time I've written a review this place has gotten more and more popular. Which is understandable as the service used to be good, the ladies nice and polite and the results consistent.
Lately the ladies that initially used to be there are absent, or just work the cash. The Bollywood music is blaring. Cleanliness is non-existent as the day progresses, with pieces of thread and dust bunnies littering the floor . On top of all that, I heard the ladies talk to themselves in Hindi making fun of some of the customers which I find entirely unprofessional and rude! This alone is enough to make me never want to go back again.
The eyebrows take longer to do than they used to, are less than "perfect" and stay red/inflamed way longer than they do at the other place I have tried since moving on from this location.
The general attitude now seems to be to get as many customers in and out the door as possible. I'm probably not going back here anymore.Listed in: Feelin Pretty in the GTA…

Review from Marvin D.

This place is cheap and convenient for downtown dwellers like myself. I especially like their wednesday "brow + upper lip" combo for $11, which is a steal. That being said, you pretty much get what you paid for - a quick and just ok clean-up. The service quality depends with the person / time of day. I wouldn't go there to get my eyebrows shaped, they spend like 5 minutes on your browns to clean them up, so expect a generic, slim shape that looks OK, but not at all tailored to your face.
I've used their Wednesday specials twice. The first time, it was an older lady, who did things haphazardly with the wax. She cleaned up with threading afterward on my brows, but failed to do so on my upper lip. As a result, there were smaller hairs left that were pretty visible. The second time, I used a younger girl called Nazia, and she took the time to use threading to clean up both my brows and my upper lip after waxing, so it was a much cleaner job. However, she also made my brows too thin and with no shape, after I specifically asked for the opposite. This is especially bizarre as the first time I went to the salon to get only my brows done, she did an excellent job.
Also, I remember seeing something on their new flyer about not "double dipping". This is a blatant lie as they pretty much all use the same big pot of wax that seems like it's been there from the morning. Pretty gross if you think about it - I try not to.
Sometimes a girl just needs a quick and cheap clean up with errant hairs and badly neglected brow shapes. This place is best for that. But if you want to ensure you get the best shape possible for your brows, personalized services, or are a germaphone, this is not the place for you.
