Just StringZ

Love my eyebrows!!! Cynthia did a great job shaping my eyebrows, I got several complements already so I’m definitely going back :)

Went in for henna art. When I calked I was told I needed to make an appointment. When I called back to make appt said I could just walk in. It was busy!!! Staff was very friendly but henna not great!!! The designs to choose from were almost laughable! Ridiculous, completely non traditional designs. After applied we were told to leave on an hour and henna would last 2 – 4 weeks… HA you can barely see it and it has been 3 hours!!! Go somewhere else for henna!!!

I have been threading for many years, but I struggled finding a good threader in Tucson. So one day I decided to give just stringz a shot and I have to say it was one of most painful threading sessions I have ever had because they take one hair out at a time rather than doing the smooth threading motion. I also did find it strange they wore gloves and took super long. I was pleased that they were super clean and the staff was friendly. I haven’t returned since and found somewhere else in Tucson to go for threading and they do a wonderful job.

Went for henna tattoos, they turned out awful! They didn’t last as long as they should have, the quality was bad, but the only thing that saved it from being unacceptable was the price. All the henna fell off within minutes of being put on, to get 4 simple tattoos it took an hour and a half! I hope the quality of the henna isn’t directly proportionate to it’s longevity because I want this hideous thing off as soon as possible.

I was a threading virgin until Just Stringz and a Groupon deal came along, and I can happily say I won’t be going back to waxing my eyebrows. I can’t lie to you and say it doesn’t hurt, but hey, we do a lot of other crazy and more painful things for beauty all the time. It’s really not that bad, it’s just the initial few passes that make you wince a little ;)The first time I heard about it I was completely baffled by the concept, especially because the process is kind of goofy — holding thread in your mouth while twisting it up in both hands to pull the hairs from the root, without taking any skin with it. Now that’s Not something you see every day!
I am a blonde with very fine hair, and my eyebrows have a ton of tiny little hairs that waxing just won’t get, but threading can wipe them out in seconds! It’s amazing to me how well they can shape the hairs, and every time I have been to Just Stringz I have been very pleased. They are very clean and are sure to wipe down the chairs and surface after each person is done. I have only gotten my eyebrows threaded, but I know they offer a lot of other things too. Not only does the threading do a great job of cleaning up the unwanted hair, but it comes at a very affordable price ($ 12 and I usually tip a few dollars)!

I’ve been getting my eyebrows waxed for about 12 years now, almost ALWAYS at an asian nail salon. However, my trusty eyebrow lady ROYALLY fucked up my brows last time and I was ready for a change. After letting the bald patches grow in, I heard about Just Stringz from a friend with beautiful brows. I decided to head to the mall and try it out.
The staff is mostly young ladies, but they do a really good job. They are able to shape and contour SO much better than a waxer. I’m less red and not sticky after getting my brows done there. It seems to last longer too! Cost is about the same as a wax and I always try to leave a good tip.
My only gripe would be that the staff always seems to be hiding in the back room. Sometimes when they have to help you (seems like they take turns) they seem a little put out by it. 2 of them are very friendly but the rest of the gang seems kinda grumpy.
It is painful! I would say about the same pain level as a wax, but just a little more drawn out. The girls seem to go as fast as they can and apply witch hazel at the end to help sooth the area. Its not too painful to keep doing it!

Ouch… She pulled the hairs out slowly! I’d had it done before and remember it stinging. but it was quick and looked great (at a mall in Phoenix)… Here it hurt because how slowly she was going and I have 2 completely different shaped eyebrows. Won’t be going back… nothing beats waxing.

So I’m starting to get fed up with the fact there is not a single place in Tucson that can thread well, and «Just StringZ» is no exception. Does no one know how to shape brows in this city?
I left this place with a) poorly shaped sperm eyebrows that I feared would only be further mangled if I stayed even 5 seconds more and b) actual sores where the girl threaded skin off my face. What? Also, it doesn’t help that when I pointed out that my eyebrows were uneven and requested that she take more off my seemingly untouched brow, she shook her head and told me that she couldn’t because she wouldn’t be able to shape it. Seriously?
(Let me state: I’ve gotten my eyebrows threaded for years, and when I grow them out, they become uncontrollable thumb-​sized bushes on my face. The salon I used to frequent when I lived out of state was staffed by well-​meaning but extremely blunt Asian ladies who would constantly scold me for being «so hairy” – direct quote – when I waited too long to get my brows done. This girl’s inability to shape my eyebrows any further was due to her lack of skill, not my lack of hair.)

I returned to use my 2^nd Groupon certificate.
There was no wait this time and I was helped by the same technician as the last time. She’s very sweet, but not very skilled. I went home with several knicks on my face. One more Groupon certificate to use and I’ll be back at the Asian Eyebrow Threading salon in Foothills Mall.

Friendly staff and good location in Tucson mall, however staff seemed inexperienced and took over 20 mins to eyebrows.

A couple of my friends has less stellar experiences at Asian Eyebrow Threading, so we decided this time to try Just Stringz. One of the aforementioned friends had been and liked it. She also had some coupons to share. It was more expensive than Asian Eyebrow Threading, at $ 12 rather than $ 10, but with the coupon I paid half.
The place was nice, sleek with lots of eye candy photographs to make sure you know that Pretty Ladies Thread Their Eyebrows. There is a stunning photo of a stunning lady with mehndi up her arm. It’s a pretty place.
The eyebrow threading was good. My eyebrows look good and the gal used some witch hazel at the end to help calm the skin, a nice touch. I feel like it hurt a bit more than at AET, but the woman who did it was very nice and communicated well. In comparison, it also took a little longer than at AET, but I feel like this threader maybe just had not been doing it for as many years. The results were as good, which is more important to me. I’d say if you’re interested in threading, I’d recommend this place almost as quickly as AET, but since they are across town from each other I’d choose which to suggest based on what’s more convenient for you.

Just finished getting my eyebrows threaded! Quick and easy, the pain was only minor. A smidge more painful than wax. It was $ 12, which is cheaper than where I get my brows waxed. The ladies in there were super nice too. I say try it once and see if you like it, if not then go back to waxing. Threading is definitely worth trying once!
