8 reviews for Cisco Master Eyebrow Designer
I went to Cisco today for the first time. And yes - he is an eyebrow DESIGNER. First off, when I called to make an appointment I left him a message and he called me back within minutes. I called on Sunday and got a Tuesday appointment.
The receptionist at the front desk was very nice and the AJF Salon is clean, inviting, and beautiful! Cisco came out right on time and took me to the back of the salon where he has everything set up. The room he takes you in is inviting, comfortable and very zen-like. He has great music going and it totally relaxes you.
I usually have really bad reactions to hot wax but the wax he used was great. The skin around my eyebrows was red for less then 15 minutes. He took his time and carried conversation with me the whole time. He did a mix of tweezing and waxing. When he finished I looked in the mirror and gasped. My eyebrows looked amazing! I have never been so happy with my eyebrows before. I have been told before that my brows are IMPOSSIBLE. Cisco is WONDERFUL and I hope you give him a chance to wow you!
Well, small caveat: I went back for a second appointment and the salon kind of bungled it for me.
I had an appointment scheduled for 5:15, but then I was held up at work in a meeting that just would not end. I finally left the office at 5:00 and was worried about making it, so I called the receptionist at AJS salon. I told her I was just leaving, and should I bother to still come, or should I just reschedule? She was SUPER friendly, and told me, yes, you have time, come, Cisco will fit you in, etc., etc.
So, encouraged, I drove downtown and arrived about 10 minutes late to the appointment. I stood and waited for about 10 minutes for the receptionist to talk to me, but she was busy with a bunch of people. Finally this nice kid comes up to me and says "do you have an appointment" I tell him yes, but I'm a little late, and I called and they told me I should still come. So he says ok, I'll go tell Cisco, and I should have a seat.
I have a seat. I read a magazine. I become aborbed. Suddenly I look at my watch and it has been over 45 minutes since I sat down! The same nice kid comes rushing past and says, "did so-and-so (forget the name) get back to you?" "Who?" I say? He looks exasperated. "Well now she's on her break," he says.
Seeing as how it is now about 6:30 I figured it was time to cut my losses. "Well," I said, "I think I need to go home and have dinner now. I wish that she had just told me not to come when I called her. I would have been happy to reschedule." The kid looks very relieved and says, "sorry sweetie" and holds the door open for me.
After I left, I realized....hey wait a minute! No one even offers to reschedule the appointment for me? So I am up the creek without a paddle and if I want a new appointment I'm going to have to wait another month for one that isn't during work hours??
Gah. I feel that everyone in this scenario was *well-meaning* and that the salon was just busy that night. But as far as I'm concerned, they still managed to lure me to the salon against my better judgment, leave me hanging for an hour, and then usher me back out the door without ever delivering on their promise to "fit me in"!!
I left feeling extremely mistreated and frustrated. Maybe it is not worth the money after all.

So many people have waxed, tweezed, and threaded my brows in so many different cities -- it's a surprise that I finally found the best eyebrow designer here in Sacramento. Cisco has a quiet demeanor but he's also very friendly. I'm happy with my brows after every appointment. Plus I experience little or even no pain.
He also works in Beverly Hills so he sometimes unavailable a week or two every month. Besides waxing, he offers other skin care services (but I didn't realize it until I looked at his website because he never pushes me to schedule more services). Brow maintenance waxing costs $25.
Well, it seems my long time eyebrow lady has gone and retired on me. And since I'm too A.D.D. and uncoordianted to do them myself, and I was beginning to look like a cross between Frau Unibrow and Sasquach, I decided to check this Mr. Cisco guy out and see if indeed he was as great as all have claimed.
I called yesterday and was able to get an appointment for this morning. Thanks God! I seriosuly didn't want to have to face the family and my boyfriend with this gnurled bramble of eyebrows taking over my face for Thanksgiving!
Not only was he on time, but he was very nice, fast and super professional. And the best part? My eyebrows look great! I've already booked for my December appointment, and though he's more expensive than the old eyebrow lady, it's well worth it. thanks Cisco!
I went to see Cisco today. I found him via Yelp and tried him out because of his awesome reviews.
He is everything that everyone says he is and more.
Very professional, soft-spoken, punctual, and my eyebrows look awesome......need I say more.
Well, I came to him because I think that it was time that I got my eyebrows done by a pro. I've tried to do them myself and I ended messing up.... making my eyebrows uneven. I've tried the Anastasia brand with the stencils and I look like a fake. So, we talked about growing my eyebrows so that he can work his magic.
Can't wait to see him again. He truly is the Master Eyebrow God!!!!
The reviews about Cisco are right on. This was my first time getting my brows waxed and he did an excellent job. He's friendly and honest. I was so happy with the way my eyebrows turned out. I will definitely go back.
Oh Cisco, what can I say. You truly live up to your title as master eyebrow designer and you have done wonders sanding away all of my imperfections via microdermabrasian. I no longer look like peter gallagher and for that I thank you. The best thing about him is that he truly is very nice and extremely knowledgeable which is very important when the said face sanding is occuring. Also, as to not give off the wrong impression, he makes both procedures virtually painless and his prices are very reasonable considering the excellent talent he possesses. Thank you for being a friend.
I have thick eyebrows and I'm really afraid to let anyone touch them. I've been to the best- Manana at Frederic Fekkai in NYC, Valerie in Beverly Hills, as well as some others locally. I am SO glad I found Cisco . He is awesome!! He really has vision. He not only waxes my brows perfectly but he does a great job of trimming them down perfectly too. They look amazing when I leave! I have never had so many compliments. His prices are reasonable, he's very personable and I have never felt like he has rushed my brows even though he is very busy and books 15 minute brow appointments. I also like that he has never tried to "suggest" or push any other services on me (even though I might need a few of them!) at least so far.
He also does brows in LA so you may not always get an appointment on the exact day you want/need it. Don't let his website fool you, he is way more down to earth than his macho website photo with his bevy of beauties might indicate. He is awesome! He is kind, sort of soft spoken and absolutely amazing at what he does. He makes me feel beautiful and I love him for it!
