The Village Browery

I love this place. The atmosphere is very calm and welcoming. The staff too is very welcoming, as they are friendly and overall wonderful. They are also very knowledgeable of their services and products they offer, and helpful for when you have questions or need suggestions. The Village Browery is always very accommodating for scheduling. I usually see Stephanie, and she’s great!

Went to Laura for eyebrow shaping
Pros:
–Making the appointment was easy and they got me in the very next day.
–Laura was really nice despite my arriving 15min late, she asked me about any prescription skin stuff I might be using and what kind of shape I like, and she took the time to measure out a few little things so my brows came out just right.
–The atmosphere was cozy.
–The whole experience was painless, quick, and my brows look great!
Cons:
–google maps hasn’t been updated so I had some trouble finding the place
Overall:
I’m a pretty picky customer when it comes to beauty/​style because I don’t like anything that isn’t really natural looking or really low maintenance. My brows look great, natural and healthy, and the experience was friendly and laid back.
I would definitely go to Laura again!

After my initial appointment with Laura, I knew The Village Browery was the place for me. I get so many compliments on the shape of my eyebrows. I couldn’t be happier– well worth the money and time.

I’ve tried so many places, but Stephanie is the only person I trust with my brows! She’s great. Love this place. I have recommended to many friends in the area.

Wonderful experience with Laura! Nice place and really professional! They will find the best brow shape for your face. I am Asian so I’m kinda nervous that the shape won’t fit my round flat Asian face but i l love how it turns out! Will come back again! Best brow place I’ve tried so far.

I’ve been to almost every salon and spa in the area for waxing. The horror stories I have. I’ve had so many botched brow waxings. Whenever I’d find someone I thought was good, the consistency would be slacking. They’d wax me good once and that’s all she wrote! Not the case here! Stephanie keeps my brows «on fleek». Great job, everytime! I love this place!

I have eyebrow horror stories from the past. I started seeing Stephanie a few years ago and will never go to anyone else as long as I am in the area. Love this place!

My first visit was with Crista! I really wanted to find someone who got my eyebrows. Well, she did! She was warm, kind and gave my a free gift when I left! It’s hard to find classy women in the beauty industry that you trust and she is one.
In addition, I was in a pinch and needed to move up my appt for another wax and Stephanie was able to take me! She made me feel so comfortable and was seriously so mindful of how uncomfortable it can be! She is a true professional and a real girls girl!
It’s always comforting to find women who just get it and make you feel a little less alone in all things wax related! Absolutely impressed by their professionalism and awesome personalities! Thanks ladies! Can’t wait to come back and refer my friends! This place is a hidden gem. Book now.

Crista is da bomb and taking care of your eyebrows is a must!!!
Why go elsewhere when we have the best here in Buffalo?

I found The Village Browery via these glowing Unilocal reviews. I went here a handful of times and Crista did do a beautiful job on my eyebrows. Everything was clean aside from a worn-​looking pilled-​up sheet that covers the chair that you lay in. The place is very relaxing; candles burning and soft music playing. It smells amazing and has a very comfy waiting area.
However I stopped going because I didn’t appreciate what she said to me the last time I was there. I was having some breakouts and started using an anti-​acne product. At my last appointment she ripped off my skin on both brows — didn’t even apologize or anything — she just said ‘Oh I ripped some of your skin a bit” and THEN asked if I was using any new products. When I told her about the anti-​acne product, she told me in a matter-​of-​fact way that I ‘Should have told her that beforehand.’ How would I know to tell her that? And the product I used did make my skin a bit red; shouldn’t she (the professional) have noticed that and perhaps asked me about it before the wax? Afterwards she did not even offer a discount.
Upon leaving I noticed a promotional sign with a points system: if you write a positive Unilocal review then you get x amount of points with the place. Well that explains that.
Next time, the receptionist at Teez did my brows for one-​third of the price that The Village Browery charges. And I had just as beautiful results at Teez.

I can not begin to explain how incredible my experience with Crista was! I know this may sound dramatic but having spent my adolescence with a unibrow and my teens and twenties over plucking meeting Crista was literally a life altering experience. Her kindness and sincerity were immediately apparent which I am so thankful for (previously I had a bad experience with threading I almost cancelled my appointment) but she immediately made me feel at ease. I let my brows grow for 4 weeks prior to my appointment and I was extremely disappointed at the patchiness in some areas but Crista assured me this was all part of the process and to stick with it. The appointment took about 20 minutes and when I saw the end result I was almost in tears — they were the eyebrows of my dreams! I will never touch my eyebrows again and I cannot begin to thank Crista for her help. If anyone needs help with their eyebrows this is the only place to go in WNY!

Crista is amazing! She takes the time to shape my brows, making them look their best right up until my next appointment. I’ve been to many waxing places and she is by far the best. Highly recommend!!!

I visited Krista upon recommendation from my sister. She is so welcoming and comforting. I was very nervous, I’m sure you can imagine why I was there. She talked me through the entire waxing and was so sweet. I’m a client for life, and it really did not hurt. She is just amazing.
Thank you Krista

Crista is a WIZARD!
In the past, I’ve had people shape my eyebrows nicely but they didn’t really look like me.
Thanks to Crista, I don’t just have beautifully shaped eyebrows, but they fit my face perfectly. She was careful with proportions, asked good questions about my preferences, and what my eyebrows should say about me.
I’ve never had a more thorough or personalized waxing. She is phenomenal… attentive to her clients with incredible skill. This is TRULY as good as it gets.

Krista is a-​mazing! I’m such a snot when it comes to my eyebrows. I know exactly what I want but have no idea how to do it myself at home. So I relied on my fellow Unilocalers to help me out when I moved back to Buffalo. They did not let me down.
Krista did my eyebrows and I was obsessed with how they turned out. Perfect!
I found out about their eye lash tinting from Unilocal too and had to try it. I told Krista I have pretty lame eye lashes and she commented that they were actually awesome but just blonde at the ends so it made them look shorter than they actually were. Well I went back in for the eye lash tinting and It made a HUGE difference to my lashes. I haven’t worn mascara for weeks (about 4 to be exact). Even when the second of those four weeks was in Hawaii! They stayed tinted through all the surfing and snorkeling and my pictures turned out amazing with no mascara running down my face to ruin the shot.
So I’m a true fan of Krista and this place which has a very friendly atmosphere. I will be loyal to my Krista this year before I move back to LA.
*I will update my review after I get a facial, I’ve heard they’re to die for:)

***update***
When I first reviewed Krista and The Village Browery, I had only experienced the waxing services provided. My previous review still stands, the service is impeccable, Krista is a delight to see every four weeks, and I always walk out happy.
But NOW… Now I can also speak to the facial services provided by Stephanie! I got a signature facial this morning before work, and I can honestly say it is the best idea I have had all month. An hour of nothing but pure relaxation. My skin feels so happy and hydrated, and the arm/​hand/​leg/​foot massage practically made me melt. Quite possibly the best way to start the day! She wrapped up the facial by recapping everything for me, letting me know how my skin was doing and gave me a few suggestions for some additional things I might want to add to my usual skin regimen.
I am no stranger to facials, I can say this was in the top three. Of my life. Seriously.
Do yourself a favor: book a facial for yourself. You won’t regret it.

I couldn’t be happier with my eyebrows. I travel to a different city every week and this is easliy one of the best eyebrow wakings i’ve had in the U.S. Juliet was thorough and made sure to do exactly what I wanted. She shaped my eyebrow to flatter my face and made sure to not make them too thin. Would recommend to everyone and dissapointed that I won’t be here the next time I need a clean up. Kinda of a hard spot to find, in a small shopping center tucked away.

I just got back from THE BEST Brazilian and Eyebrow Wax I have ever had. I’ve been getting waxed for 20 years and have never had such an amazing thorough wax. Krista is AMAZING. Not one hair was left. Unbelievable!

By far the best eye-​brow wax I’ve ever had. I felt that not only did I get an eye-​brow wax but Krista (the owner) who did my wax, really shaped them for my face so that they complemented my face shape well.
I’ve also had a mini-​facial done here by another aesthetician (feel so bad I don’t remember her name) and it was fantastic. For a mini-​facial the price was very reasonable. The facial was very hydrating and was so relaxing in their treatment room with soft music and warm bed. The feet and legs massage complemented the whole experience well.
This place is booked nearly solid for quite some time in advance. But it’s worth booking ahead when you know you’ll need your brows (or any other waxing) done.
My new favorite place! I’ve hinted at my man for a gift certificate for Christmas!

Eyebrows! Krista does such an amazing job, she is one of the few people I have found who will actaully cut and shape your eyebrows along with wax them. I live in NYC and I always wait until I am home in Buffalo to get them done, because I haven’t found anyone in NYC who does as good a job. She also offers eyelash tinting for 20 $ (great price) and excellent idea for people with blonde/​red lashes like myself. I find that it lasts until my lashes grow out which maybe like 2 – 3 months.
Additonaly she sells the Jane Iredale cosmetics — lots of mineral makeup that is good for your skin!
