I highly recommend DEEPA! When I first moved to the area three years ago, I was nervous about finding someone new because I'd had some bad experiences in the past. From my very first appointment, Deepa took the time to really look at my eyebrows, explain their shape and growth pattern, and educate me on what would work best for me. I immediately felt like I was more than just another client. What I appreciate most is how personalized her approach is. She listens, pays attention to detail, and always makes sure my brows look their best. I've been booking with her ever since, and every visit has been a great experience. As much as I'd love to keep her to myself, she's too good not to recommend! read more

I came back today after a few years of not visiting. My eyebrows are now micro bladed. I had an appointment with Durga just to help clean up around them. She was so kind and so quick. I love how they look. She even put aloe on it afterwards. I'm very happy to see that she is still working here and will be back occasionally to get some threading done. read more

We had such a great experience on our first visit we had to come back again. We had the same great service! My daughter was so happy with her brows. Thank You Durga. read more

I didn't have an appointment, but they had me out my name down and were able to help me super quickly! The salon was clean, staff were friendly, and threading was quick and well done! It was my first time going here as my normal place was closed, and I was quite happy with the results! My threader was both precise and gentle with my thinner brows. The parking lot is quite busy because of the many businesses within the lot, so do be a bit careful read more

Aarna Threading Salon in Santa Clara is easily one of my favorite threading spots in the Bay Area. I have tried several places over the years, but Durga always stands out for her precision, kindness, and attention to detail. When it comes to eyebrows, having someone meticulous and careful is so important, and she definitely delivers every time. Durga not only shaped my brows perfectly, but she also did my upper lip threading and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. She takes the time to make sure everything is symmetrical and polished, and you can tell she really cares about her clients' satisfaction. The salon itself is welcoming and clean, and the service feels very personal. Durga always remembers your preferences and ensures you leave feeling confident with your look. I also appreciate that she works efficiently without rushing, so you feel relaxed the entire time. read more

I've been going to Aarna Threading Salon for 3 years. I will no longer be coming because of my experience with Liz. I came in a few minutes late due to issues with parking, and when I came in she immediately had a negative attitude and said, "Your appointment is basically half way over." I told her that I would be happy to reschedule the appointment, and I understand that I was running a little late. She took the initiative and told me she would still be able to take me. As soon as we started, I told her how I wanted my eyebrows which was consistent with the other times she's done them. Throughout the threading appointment, she was intermittently checking her phone and did not seem focused on the task at hand. She seemed to be rushing through my appointment, which was very unfortunate since I offered to reschedule. Midway through the appointment, I looked at my eyebrows in the mirror and it was obvious that she messed up on one side and made it way too thin and short. She noticed my concern and said she will fix it. She only made my eyebrows even more uneven, and I told her that we could stop there because they're way thinner than I asked for. She did not apologize for her mistake or make me comfortable or satisfied as a paying client. I also felt disrespected by her lack of attention during our appointment, and I don't appreciate the tone she started our appointment with. I would have been happy to reschedule if being a few minutes set the schedule behind, but she took the initiative to keep my appointment anyway. I don't normally leave reviews, but this experience was shocking and lacked customer service and professionalism. I dealt with uneven eyebrows for a month, and the lady who fixed it noticed how thin my shape was before I even explained to her what happened the last time I got them threaded here. It was a very unfortunate experience, and I am still left shocked and disappointed by how she went about this situation. read more

I had a very strange experience here that I've never had elsewhere so I'm just going to give you the facts and you can make your own judgements. I walk in and the stylist/receptionist is on her phone and doesn't so much as give me a smile or a welcoming attitude. She asked me if I have an appointment and I said no. And she asks me "only eyebrows right?", this is normal. While I explain to her how I like my eyebrows, she isn't paying attention. I told her that I like to thread the sparse areas so that my eyebrows look more full. At the end, she explained to me that she left an area untouched because I need more hair growth. While I appreciated her taking the time to explain that to me, I had actually told her I wanted those areas threaded in the beginning. So far I had no issues, I'm not super picky with my eyebrows so I settled for how they were (which wasn't bad by the way). This is when things started to irk me: I went to pay and she swipes my card then tells me their system is down and I'll need to pay with Zelle. I don't really use Zelle so I offer to venmo. She says no Zelle only. So I'm on my phone trying to figure out how to pull up Zelle and getting no connection. I ask for their wifi and she gives me an annoyed face when I confirm. The wifi doesn't work so I tell her and-she goes "oh I think they changed the password, you can go outside it usually works out there". So I go outside and FINALLY am able to zelle them. In that time two other guests had walked in. I go back to let her know and tell her it was super inconvenient that I had to do all that and she should've just told me in the beginning that their system was down. She said she didn't know. I'm just wondering why she didn't tell the other guests that came in after me. read more

Came in after running errands nearby and went in for an eye brow threading. The staff was able to get me in and cleaned my brows swiftly. I also was able to get in for a facial after. Overall the vibe was welcoming and I will be returning. read more

Im so unhappy with the facial I got here from Pooja. I had mentioned that I have sensitive skin and I get bruise marks if blackheads are extracted with force. But she insisted on removing them. I thought she will make it gentle. It was so painful. I have black bruise/scars all over my nose. It's so embarrassing. She ruined my face. Beauticians should know basics of facial. Nobody applies so much pressure that it causes bruises. Never going back. read more

Had a good experience with Yunica for eyebrow threading. I made an appointment online a day before for 5PM. On the day of, I had time earlier, so I called to see if I could get it moved earlier to 3 and they were able to accommodate. I ended up needing to wait ~10 minutes since Yunica was helping someone else. I was personally in and out in less than 10 minutes. Yunica took the time to check in with me and adjusted to the way I wanted. Huge plus is that they take card. Parking is super hectic in the plaza. I noticed a ton of really bad parking jobs, so be aware.. read more

My go-to threading salon in the South Bay Area! There are so many talented ladies here that do such a good job, but my favorite is Durga! She keeps my eyebrows thick just like I like them, but always creates the best shape (even when others have previously messed up the shape). It's so easy to book appointments via Yelp online, and then you don't have to wait around once you get to the place. In and out within 10 minutes! read more

I asked for a brow clean-up and making sure two sides are even. But one of my arches was completely removed. When I brought it up, the technician blamed me for not communicating it and responded with a dismissive attitude instead of professionalism. It was frustrating. Brows grow back but respectful service should be non-negotiable. I won't be returning. read more

I've been going to Aarna Threading Salon for my eyebrows for years now. Super happy that's it's just a short drive down the road from me. Even more happy that they're on Vagaro -- same as my hair salon which makes the booking process super easy. Love the ambiance here. It's always air conditioned, never full of people, and it's the most efficient grooming experience you'll ever have. I have pretty thicc brows, but the staff here always have me in and out under 10 minutes. Appointments aren't that hard to secure a few days out and because they're so fast, they have a slot basically every 15 minutes. Yunica has been my favorite go-to person. She has a very gentle touch and doesn't need much direction. As a guy, I just get a quick clean up every few months. Best $12 you'll spend. read more

First time I ever been asked what I wanted with my brows. Just told Liz I needed it cleaned up because I haven't got it done in months and she delivered. Thank you Liz. I will be back for you. read more

Great spot for threading! They take walk ins and appointments online. It's super easy to book online (you can't cancel or change your appointment within 8 hours of your appointment). I came in fairly early for my schedule appointment but they were able to take me in right away. Yunica did my eyebrows and did an amazing job. She made sure she did them how I wanted, and also made sure my eyebrows were evened out. Will be coming back! read more

Five star rating but I only book with Yunica to thread my brows. She's extremely cautious and communicative about your brow shape. She'll confirm with you before removing a few hairs to make sure it's the brow shape you're going for. read more

Just doing an appreciation re-review for my favorite eyebrow place :) So glad they stuck around and are thriving. The price hasn't changed ($12) which is amazing, and the eyebrow threading ladies are as good as ever. PS Durga is back full time! She is very popular so make sure to book ahead of time unless you can come during off times (aka work hrs). read more

Local threading shop I have gone to a couple of times. Overall, good quality work and the staff are really kind. However, I will say they seem unorganized. The quality of their online platform to make appointments needs to be improved because you need to have an account and it's glitchy. This week, I showed up to my appointment early and they helped me. Then they later realized I was the wrong customer, which they apologized about and was fine. But 10 mins after I left, I'm getting calls asking about whether I will come to my appointment. Very confusing! I will still come back because they do a great job but they could use some help with organizing :) read more

Aarna Threading is in a busy but not impossible to park plaza with an Indian supermarket and a Smart Final. Id give yourself at least 5 min to find parking. I booked my appointment before. I do love that they have an online appointment system which makes the wait time never more than 10 min. (FYI: I use to be a loyal Deepa Salon customer but recently needed to look for other options because her limited schedule didn't work with my work schedule and the wait times can be quite long.) I was nervous to try a new place but decided to give Aarna a go. After reading the reviews, I decided to book with Yunica and I wasn't disappointed. She was very sweet, patient and easy to talk to. She asked me several times what I wanted and checked in at several points. My brows are a tad thinner than before but I really like them nonetheless. She cleaned them up nicely! I'd definitely go back and see Yunica. read more

I loved coming to Aarna because of Amrita - she is kind, listens carefully to your individual requests, and is very thorough. She left on her maternity leave in December, and I was excited for her return back in April. Unfortunately, I did not find Amrita on the Aarna website, and I was saddened to learn that Aarna did not hire her back once she had her baby. I was a loyal customer of Aarna for about 10 years, but I will no longer be returning since Amrita is no longer there. Luckily, I was able to find Amrita again through Amrita Kaur Makeovers on instagram and yelp. I will continue going to her because she is a true gem! read more

I'll start by saying I've been coming here for almost 4 years now for eyebrow threading. Unfortunately, my most recent experience fell short of the otherwise good experiences I've had to date. I usually get threaded by Durga and occasionally Pooja, but decided to book with Rabina, based on availability. The first thing I noticed was that she immediately started threading without talking to me about what I wanted, which given I've never seen her before, made me a little concerned. So I actually interrupted her to tell her that I wanted- to just do a clean up and maintain my shape and thickness. As she acknowledged and proceeded, I noticed her technique was very different than what I was accustomed to. For example, she would go over an area multiple times and with a pressure that was actually a bit painful. At this point, my gut was telling me to request she stop and see if someone else could help, but I seconded-guessed myself and really didn't want to cause a scene or ruckus. Ultimately, I wish I had. Other things that threw me off about this threader was she corrected me multiple times with how I was holding my skin taut for her to thread. I've never had someone do that before and that also kinda seemed like a red flag. When I looked in the mirror after she finished, it didn't seem too bad- I don't expect perfection, but when I went back to my car to examine more closely I noticed I was bleeding under each eyebrow and on one of the my eyebrows the inner corner/front had been over threaded. I'm not sure if the issue was she just made some mistakes which I understand happens or she was inexperienced/not trained properly. I hate to leave a more critical review, particularly during this tougher time, however, this was my honest experience and I feel like others should be aware. I would still definitely recommend this salon, but just encourage others to see only specific threaders. read more

This place has multiple things going wrong, : 1. I made a walk in, I tried to call earlier that day and there was no answer, I saw online that they had multiple spots open with multiple people so I figured it wouldn't be a problem to accommodate me, at the get go the lady at the counter was downright cold and rude, it was as if she was so irritated that I walked in, her demeanor was totally unwelcoming. At the entrance the place seemed neat and it misled me into thinking that would be the case throughout the salon 2. I needed to get waxed, the room I was taken into was just so stuffy, stinky and unclean. I told the lady who was to do my waxing that I was happy to wait till it got cleaned or to go into another room that was already prepped for waxing. Both of these requests were denied with some excus like the person who used this room didn't clean up after themselves, the other room is being used already etc, the lady Ms.Kanta who was doing my waxing seemed okay and I had already spent quite a bit of time trying to get this done so I decided to continue the service thinking it might get better once the room cools down and the air is circulated. It took forever, I was a sticky mess with leftover wax from my arms sticking over the cover paper on the bed at multiple spots and the room kept getting hotter, it was a good 76F, with no ventilation or fan or ac for 30 mins by the time I got done. I also noticed in the meantime that the paper was laid out on a VERY dirty bed. I requested to get out for upperlip waxing since I couldn't take it any longer in that stuffy room. When I got back home I noticed there was still leftover wax at multiple spots on me, one waxing bruise and one wax burn, not to mention multiple hairy spots that have been missed, so looks like the service sucked too. I requested to speak to the owner to convey my feedback and to ensure future customers are not impacted with such a poor experience. I was told she would call back and my number was taken. I am still waiting for that call. I tried reaching out to the Santa Clara location today and was told she is at the Sunnyvale location, I called the Sunnyvale location and was told she isn't available and yet again promised a call back. This place seems to be popular for threading services and that area near the entrance seemed well maintained but that's about it. Will update if I ever get a call back from Ms.Ritu Definitely do not recommend waxing services here. read more

After three months in Texas, I'm so happy to have finally reunited my eyebrows with Pooja's threading skills. Pooja has been my go-to for just about four years now, and I'm forever grateful that my high school classmate recommended Aarna to me that one fateful day in English class so long ago. My eyebrows have been through it all--I've plucked them, shaved them, waxed them, drew on them with eyebrow pencil, used brow gel, you name it. When COVID first caused lockdown, I resorted to maintaining my brows on my own. Although I managed to get by with my facial razor and a couple of YouTube tutorials, nothing quite gets me feeling a million bucks like when I leave Pooja's chair. Threading at Aarna might be on the pricier side ($12 for as long as I can remember, same price as of yesterday), but it is well worth it. Every time I leave the salon I get in my car and spend probably too much time looking at my eyebrows in my rearview mirror and showing off my snatched brows in a couple of photos before driving off. I've tried to get the same effect by myself, but I never come close. The day Pooja retires from doing eyebrows will probably make me cry. Even though I only see her for about five minutes every month when I'm in the Bay, she's been with me from high school through college, when I was with my ex and after I was no longer with him, when I got my first big girl job and when I got my second. When I read other reviews from people who have been loyal Pooja clients for years and years, I just smile. I never would have thought doing eyebrows could be so fulfilling. read more

I continue to come here many years later. Yunica does a great job at cleaning and shaping my brows to my liking. Reservations are online, so it's easy to make. She's quick and listens to what I want, very patient. She's my new trusted threader! read more

I get my brows threaded here! I've always had a good experience. Each worker has taken time to make sure the shape I want for my brows suits my face and that it is even on both sides. read more

I originally booked to get my brows threaded by Yunica because of all the positive reviews, but I was 5 minutes late to my scheduled time. I was more than willing to wait, but I was immediately told that Deepa would take me since I was late. Deepa was nicer but unfortunately made my brows too thin. I had to stop her from taking more off after I already said they were thinner than I'd like. I'd be more understanding if it was super busy, but there was only one other client there and Yunica finished up with her within 10 minutes. I don't think it was necessary to be so cold. I won't be back given the final product and customer service. read more

I used to come here for years to get my eyebrows done and I have always had great experiences. I think aarna is great business and has many talented people who thread. However, I was a loyal client to Yunica because she was the best for me personally. Unfortunately she left and after months of looking I found her new location not far! She was always booked so if anyone else has been looking for her she is now at yunica threading, yelp wont let me post her new location but her instagram is yunica_beauty. Again, aarna is a great business for threading needs but I just wanted to post to help any of yunica old clients because I know how hard it is to find someone you trust to do your eyebrows! read more

I highly recommend Yunica for eyebrow and upper lip threading. She is extremely professional, meticulous, and has an eye for how to shape your eyebrows. Yunica also listens to your specific requests and ensures you are happy with the results. Throughout the appointment she checks to see if you are okay and asks you to look in the mirror to see if you like the outcome. Both my mom and myself always request for Yunica. She makes the experience quick, painless, and the results are always fantastic. The booking process is also very easy and I get fast responses. Thanks so much! read more

always the best service by Mandy! So easy to book an appointment and always leaves me looking amazing !

Do not get your eyebrows done here. Mine were left super uneven, with patches left on both sides and incorrect trimming. She wasn't even going to trim them until I told her. My eyes brows are soooo long I have always needed them trimmed. When she didn't trim them, I knew something was wrong. I didn't want to go to my regular place because I was tired of paying $20 but you get what you pay for, now I know. The $8 I saved by coming here was not worth it. read more

Love the time and patience with which they do threading keeping in mind the customers likes and dislikes

My first time threading here a few months ago and I booked with Pooja. She was great! I really loved and appreciate how she carefully analyzed my eyebrows and told me which spots she wasn't going to touch if she saw the hair was sparse or light in that area - it gave me great confidence in her and she can tell what kind of shape goes well with my face. The attention to detail is not only great but she's attentive in listening to what you want and not over threading. Will be a regular here! read more

Love this spot! They are consistent with their work no matter the person! I only go here for my eyebrows and upper lip.

I've been going to Aarna for a while now, almost a year and a half. I absolutely adore Yunica, that's my girl!! She is so sweet and makes me feel very comfortable throughout my whole appointment.

I booked a last minute appointment with Durga the night before since I am not from the Bay Area and was very happy with how my eyebrows turned out.
