What customers said about eyebrow beautification
The Beauty Oasis LLCBEYOND PLEASED!!! When Amber finished i told her she need a beat down because she had no business slaying my lashes and brows the way she did. Her service and personality are A1. I felt like i was catching up with an old friend. Very clean space. Made sure i was comfortable the entire time. She is my new lash tech.…
Bombay Salon & Spa - MemphisVery professional very clean didn't need an appointment and they did a great job will be returning it was my first time there.
V-BEAUTYI hardly have any brows. I had previously tried microblading somewhere else and didn’t really work for me. I came and met Viktoriia and she made me feel so at ease. Explained everything about powder brows. I believe 2-3 years later here we still are. Love V-beauty, love my brows, love everything about this place.…
Paris Lash & Brow StudioI had an incredible experience at Paris lash and brow studio. Yen was so friendly and the studio was clean and relaxing. My lashes look gorgeous, and my brows have never been this perfect! The attention to detail was great, and I felt really taken care of. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
Bombay Salon & Spa - MemphisLisa is fantastic! She does both my eyebrows and my mom's, and we both couldn't be happier. She has a great eye for shaping and always makes sure we leave with brows that are perfectly done and look natural. Lisa is also very friendly and makes the experience very comfortable. Highly recommend!
The Beauty Oasis LLCI love the service that was provided. Amber did an excellent job on my eyebrows it was to perfection. I will most definitely be coming back as a lifetime client. If I could give 100 starts I could!!

How we grade
Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.
Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.
Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.
Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.
Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
