Staff Performance

Pros:

  • "Kim fixed my warewolf brows like the legend that she is!"
  • "Aaron waxed and tinted my brows, it was the first time I ever tinted my brows and she made me feel so at ease."
  • "Kim... is one of the few brow gurus in London and my all time go to person for perfectly shaped brows."
  • "Tilly was such a great waxer who eased my nerves and gave a great service."
  • "Tasha did my brows today! I’ve never gotten them done before at a Benefit boutique and my expectations were quite high and they were perfectly met."
  • "Cyang was amazing, explained the process, took her time to ensure that everything was perfect."
  • "Jodie was super friendly and most importantly did a really excellent job with my brows!"

Cons:

  • "The problem is the staff turnover is constant so the best beauticians go and the past two times I have not been happy with the result."
  • "I would never get my brows here or spend money on benefits."
  • "Great products, but really grumpy employees who make no eye contact, don’t say hello, don’t prioritise customer service and take ages to ring up a product."
  • "The man that served me was telling me nothing today and laughed in my face then as I left he started to stalk about me to his colleagues."
  • "Half the time they haven’t smiled and I felt like an imposition."
  • "So unbelievable unfriendly staff making it impossible to shop there regardless of how nice the products are."
  • "I walked in to this shop and the staff were rude."

Service Quality

Pros:

  • "Thank you Adriana for helping me choose the right colour powder foundation, concealer and eyebrow pencil."
  • "Jodie consistently makes my eyebrows look amazing."
  • "Tasha was very thorough and did an amazing job!"
  • "She has a keen eye for detail and is so welcoming/kind."
  • "I’ve been coming here for years and the service is always consistent as they match my natural brow style."
  • "A 100% would go back to have my brows done by her again, completely sold!"
  • "I'm so pleased with the quality, the staff friendliness, and the good balance of recommending products without feeling like you're being upsold."

Cons:

  • "It’s a shame that I have to give the boutique 3 stars because staffs are very bubbly and warm and the beauty service is good. However during my Saturday visit the shop was clearly understaffed and it was very chaotic."
  • "Really nice venue for a wax and not a terrible price with Spitalfields discount for central London. Relatively pain free with a mix of strip and hot wax. Friendly technician, however I would probably not go again as it took about 35 minutes for a Brazilian wax. Far too slow."
  • "I had a brow tint and wax a week ago and the tint is already gone - will need to go back again this week."
  • "Left unhappy and won't be returning."
  • "I once got a fake tan here and the lady gave me very little guidance on which shade to choose, I ended up looking extremely dark and my husband refused to be seen outside with me (no joke)."
  • "Eyebrow tint is far too dark even though I asked for a natural look and some of the tint from the bottom of my eyelashes has smudged leaving black marks."
  • "I have been a few times here for eyebrow waxing. Overall, not a good value for money."

Customer Experience

Pros:

  • "Lovely! I had my eyebrows done by (Katerina? Im not sure how you spell her name) she was wonderful!"
  • "Mark is the Mary Poppins of brows!"
  • "If we could all be as enthusiastic as Kiki then it would feel like the day before you go on holiday... but 24/7."
  • "Such a pleasant experience having my eyes sculpted into a beautiful state, Jodie took excellent care of me, offered brilliant chat, and was a really nice person."
  • "The whole team are so friendly and helpful with a great energy!"
  • "Highly recommended and I’ll definitely be back!"
  • "The boutique was spotless, sanitised and felt very safe."

Cons:

  • "Made me wait 20 mins for my appointment which was at 3.30. At 3.50 she told me that they needed to find someone to do my eyebrows."
  • "As soon as I came in through the door, the lady saw me but wouldn’t acknowledge me... I felt that there was unconscious bias towards me because of the way I looked and dressed."
  • "I work nearby and have been going there to get my eyebrow wax and tint on and off for about 5 years. As other reviews say, the staff friendliness and service differ. I think this is because they have a high staff turnover."
  • "I stood there and then she asked me if I was okay. Already I could feel that this experience wasn’t going to go well."
  • "Once I asked for some concealer to hide the redness (after being offered it before) and they seemed beyond annoyed."
  • "Took me 40 minutes to be done with a brow wax that should in a normal situation take no longer than 15 minutes."
  • "I was very disappointed with the service at this store."
