I started getting my eyebrows threaded almost 15 years (that's when I met Bebe). She's been threading for almost 2 decades! I was a bit nervous about getting my brows threaded, in the midst of the COVID era. Bebe put me at ease with all of the precautions she's taking: windows open, hand sanitizer on arrival, waiting room is closed (wait outside), she wears two masks and a face shield, and doesn't talk while she's threading. She recently learned a new threading technique, to eliminate any potential germ transmission. Self-care is good for the soul, go see her if you're in SF (Japantown:)! Book an appt at Bebeskincare.com or text her for same day availability. read more

Bebe is the best at her craft. Threading and facials 10/10. Her is office is clean and welcoming. I have been going to her for 10+ years. Plus she offers online booking. Highly recommend. read more

If you're even thinking about touching up your eyebrows: stop right now. Put the tweezers down. Back away from the mirror. Go see Bebe. I've been going to Bebe... oh, for about 10+ years now! And at this point my brows are basically in a long term relationship (with this proper professional). Every time I leave, my face looks instantly more put together, I swear. And it's not just me being vain. The compliments are constant (ok, that sounded a little vain). From strangers. Friends. Coworkers. My barber. Uber drivers. You name it. "Your eyebrows are so good." (Yes. I know. Thank you.) "All the girls must be jealous of your brows wherever you go." (Yes. I know that too. *blush*) The jealousy/vanity is real. And I have Bebe to thank. I will follow her to the ends of the earth for these eyebrows. But until then, I simply head over to Japantown (every two weeks... and counting). read more

I had my eyebrows trimmed here and they did an excellent job. Bebe, the owner also the one who does the service, is very kind and accommodating read more

I went here twice - the first time Bebe was very nice and did a really good job for a good price, so I went back a second time. This time she made my brows very thin and angular which I didn't like, but at that point there wasn't anything she could do to fix it without making my brows even thinner. Not only that, the area she was threading bled and was very sensitive immediately after. Within 24 hours, I was breaking out all over the area she threaded. I'm not someone who gets acne/breaks out easily at all and my skin is not sensitive, so this was really shocking to me and is a big red flag. I'm not sure what was different this time. Not saying this place is bad, just hit or miss and I will not be returning personally. read more

I love going to see Bebe--she does fantastic work. She is highly skilled, and her eyebrow threading is the best! I also love her Signature Facial. She has a spacious room with great ventilation. Parking is easy, and who doesn't love going to Japantown? I highly recommend her work! read more

I went in and admittedly I was late because I ended up running around trying to find the place (my fault for not arriving earlier). I told Bebe that I liked my brows but they needed some cleaning up, didn't want my eyebrows any thinner and that I know my eyebrows are uneven so I'd like to work towards being even but it didn't need to happen today. I also said a natural looking shape is fine, honestly I wasn't expecting much. She then proceeded to take off like 50% of my eyebrows. Pretty sure she did this just to spite me being late, but either way never going back. read more

Bebe Skin Care & Threading - Before: uneven but could someday grow to be something - Skin Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

Bebe is simply the best. I've been getting my brows threaded by her for over 5 years now. I started seeing her out of convenience because it was near my house, but I've moved to the Outer Sunset 3 years ago and making the drive every month is still worth it. My brows are on the lighter/sparser side, and she somehow makes them look fuller! She knows my shape now and gets it perfect every time. She's precise but works quick. I won't trust anyone else in the city. :) read more

Wow! Wish I had come here earlier - Bebe is an eyebrow magician. QUALITY (5/5) She is very knowledgeable and let me know how my eyebrow shape should be, and recommended not plucking between visits. She works quickly but don't let that distract you, she does a really thorough job. My brows ended up looking great! Also, not sure what this nonsense on here that Bebe's threading is painful... Definitely one of the less painful threading experiences I've had. AMBIANCE: (4/5) Not a spa if that's what you are looking for, but she has a clean and relaxing shop in Japantown. Lobby was comfortable and had water and magazines. Definitely a step up from Threading stores at malls if that's what your used to. OVERALL (5/5) Will definitely be back again! I agree with the reviews; Best EyebrowThreading in SF! read more

Well....I've finally broken down and will reveal one of my 'only slightly (so slightly)' painful - but totally worth it beauty rituals - eyebrow threading with Bebe. In the Middle East - nobody waxes - it's all about the threading. It's far more efficient and safe than waxing, no scalded skin, no icky growing out process, and I find it to be far more precise. In Qatar, some women get everything threaded from their whole faces down to their arms. I'm definitely not that hairless happy - but well groomed eyebrows are a must. I first discovered Bebe in a Yelp search and have been a regular now. She's quick and exact, and makes the whole procedure pretty damn painless. She's gentle not only in the process, but with her demeanor. You don't even need to give her any instructions. She sizes up your eyebrows and your face and goes to it. And VOILA! in a matter of ten minutes you're done and ready to go. Eventually I'd like to book a facial with her, but I'm always apprehensive about skin appointments due to sensitive skin. Also, if you get there early and she's still occupied with another customer, you can always pop over to Coffee Bean and grab a dark forest drink beforehand. You may have trouble getting through to her intially, since Bebe is a busy woman, commuting to and from the city, so be sure to call ahead to try to figure out an appointment , but it's definitely worth it. Because if eyes are the window to the soul - a nicely arched frame for that window - never hurts. read more

This place is amazing. I walked in not know what to expect, all I wanted was 2 eyebrows instead of one and she worked her magic! I've been getting compliments on my brows since! read more

Bebe Skin Care & Threading - Skin Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

Always a big fan of Bebe threading. I've gotten my eyebrows done here a few times and Bebe always does a fantastic job with shape and clean up. She takes venmo as well. read more

Bebe is a master of her craft! I have very uneven eyebrows due to years of waxing and plucking. I moved to the city last year and searched high and low for a new eyebrow technician. Bebe is the answer, she threaded by eyebrows so well and gave me exactly what I needed. Bebe even gave me a plan on when to visit and what not to do in-between threading. I have never loved my eyebrows this much. The studio is clean a little tricky to find- just look next to the Hawaiian shop. The price is perfectly aligned with service- she accepts venmo and credit card. I am thrilled to have found my eyebrow master. :) read more

Wow time flies! I have been trusting Bebe to take care of my eyebrows for 10 years now! Since then threading became a thing and there are many other options BUT Bebe has been doing this for so long and she is so talented and knowledgeable read more

So for years I've been addicted to having my brows done. I always used to get them waxed, but after a series of red bumps, week-long pain, and other issues (including a nasty red scab between my eyes that only managed to heal the morning of my wedding day due to a serious bout of good karma), I decided it was time to give up the harsh wax process on my face. Enter my pal Jeanie K, who recommended Bebe. In what seems to be *less* time than it takes to wax (with roughly the same amount of pain) I can have perfect brows without suffering from a week of bumps and bright red skin. After threading you can go about your day without having to cover up your forehead! I highly recommend you switch to threading if you have sensitive skin and Bebe is great at it. Bonus points for an easy-to-use online scheduling system and her always being on time. read more

She does a great job with the threading. No nonsense about it, she didn't actually speak to me at all but simply nodded in a friendly way when I came in to the room. It was definitely down to business, which I didn't mind. I don't need to be socialized. Brows were perfect and the price is fair, same I paid in LA. Only two things were, she was 15 minutes late for my appointment and since there is no receptionist (at least when I was there) no one came out to say anything about it and I was just sitting on the couch in the front hoping it would be soon. Second note is that after the threading she took a cotton ball and wiped REALLY hard under my eyes! Hello, that skin is delicate! Next time I'll know what's coming and make sure that doesn't happen... read more

My eyebrows have never looked better! I've gone to so many eyebrow threading places over the years in nyc and other big cities but this place has topped all! Thank you Bebe!! read more

Bebe is very thorough with her work. I believe every little hair was removed by her magical hands. I'm not sure why everyone is mentioning pain, but her touch was ever so gentle with me. Probably one of the better threading experiences I've had in a while. I really like the natural light coming in, so she could see better. Also, instead of a chair she operates from a massage table. Comfort level just shot up a notch! I gave 3 stars because when I arrived for my appointment, no one was at reception. A woman walked up the stairs, on her mobile and asked "are you here for...?" while walking into a room. That woman turned out to be my threader. Just a tip on customer service; be ready for your appointment and if someone is waiting in reception please be attentive and give undivided attention. The shop is very small. As in one patron at a time small. For $25.00 my brows are shaped to perfection and lips are a smooth as a baby's bum. I could overlook the initial phone-in-hand encounter in order to have perfect brows. Hopefully the next visit will be seamless. read more

I love Bebe - she does a fantastic job on my brows and I have been going to her for 4 years. I love that I can control my appointment times by booking online. She is so busy and popular that she sometimes runs a little behind but for FABULOUS brows you can handle it - read a magazine. Give yourself plenty of time to park. She takes checks, cash or credit cards. read more

Pros: efficient, quick, good relaxing atmosphere Cons: A little confusing upon entrance, but low impact So I have to admit I am very new to all this beauty stuff. It's only recently in the last year that I have gone to salons on my own. Every time it's a nervous experience since I never know how to act. Am I really supposed to know how my eyebrows look best? So I often walk into these places feeling like a walking disaster knowing that I haven't taken care of myself for awhile. There are a few places I have entered (hair salons, waxing) and the lady would scream, "What did you do?!" "Uh...exactly. I did nothing. Absolutely nothing." But Bebe took no notice. Even though I read that she was above the SOAPS salon, I was still confused walking in and the downstairs stylist had to point to that hidden door (ok so it said Bebe on the door, but I didn't see it at first) before I found my way up. No sign on top as to whether I could walk into the room, but I think Bebe made it deliberately more personal. I knocked hesitantly and found her waiting. I had booked a 1:15 lip/brow threading and she welcomed me in even though I was a few minutes early. Bebe had been patiently waiting. I really liked how she decorated the room with pillows and used ambient music. The process was quick and relaxing. No awkward conversations during the short 15 minute process. She didn't criticize my lack of care. I have slightly sensitive skin and she quickly applied something to care of it. No redness after! Unlike Riya in Berkeley where I have been a few times, Bebe was more personal. It was $25 not including tip for the entire threading process. The credit card transaction is done in SOAPS. American Express not accepted! Visa and Mastercard only. No minus star for that, but still...why can't more places accept amex! Regardless, I'll come back. That is, if I can make it up here from the Mission. read more

Wow...I thought waxing was painful! Threading...is more so...OWEEEE!!! I went to Bebe because my regular eyebrow aesthetician was booked solid and I couldn't get in for two weeks. My eyebrows were getting extremely bushy that I seriously cut my bangs to hide my unruly brows. Finally, I broke down and decided to try something totally new like threading. Bebe was available and so I went for it. PROS -threading removes more hair than waxing -no chemicals -online booking -inexpensive (brows and lip $25) -she follows your natural shape unless you advise otherwise -she also does facials CONS -it hurts, but definitely worth it! read more

After years of self-tweezing I am finally ON THE WAGON. Bebe really straightened me up and laid down the law: No Touching The Brows. She would be a great substance abuse counselor. Soft and gentle, but very strict at the same time. (Besides being a great counselor/coach, she is a talented puppetmaster, removing pesky hairs in seconds with her agile movements. Brows and lips=10-15 minutes.) My face is now tweeze and wax free! Au natural. All the time. Thanks, Beebs! read more

I heart Bebe. She's soft spoken, comfortable and does an absolutely AMAZING job shaping, refining and structuring my unruly brows. The first time I went there I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Recommended by a fellow yelper (thank you Jessica L.) I was a little perplexed... "threading?!" I said..."You mean she takes a string of thread and uses it to pull out my crazy brows?" It didn't make sense but hey, my friend has some pretty awesome brows so I gave it a shot. Bad news is...it hurts. The first time kind of caught me off guard a bit and I was so intrigued by the entire process that the pain was subsided by the complete stupefaction of using thread to shape eyebrows. Unlucky for me, it still hurts every time I go in but the pain is well worth it. You're also going to think she's threading out your entire eyebrow but really, she's not. Instead, she's working her magic. Bebe is also very attentive to your needs so if you're attached to your luscious brows and want them shaped but not to the point where they're pencil thin, just let her know. She wouldn't do that anyway but I know, at least for me, it makes me feel better to say it just to cover my bases. Very affordable and she does an array of services...whole face, upper lip, etc. She also does online appointments so it's extremely easy to book and cancel/change appointments if need be. Highly recommended! read more

I had an appointment at 2, arrive at 2:08 the lady told me she couldn't take me because she had an appointment at 2:15 an appointment that was not there yet... underline why she said no is because I show up with a baby that was crying. read more

Bebe rocks! She is near Fillmore, on Sacramento, upstairs from SOAPS salon. I used to get my threading done in Berkeley because it was $$$ in most places in SF. Enter Bebe. She's a licensed esthetician and she does amazing threading. I've been going to her for a year now and she always makes my eyebrows fabulous, plus her rates are reasonable. She is also a big sweetheart. (My partner, who was deathly afraid of trying the threading, finally caved in and now she is a loyal client, as well!) Side note: She also has a Monterey location, so she is only available in SF from Thursday-Sunday. You can book online or by phone. read more

So me and Bert (from Sesame Street) are long lost twins. I have humongo eyebrows that I did not pluck for about 2 weeks. They were super scary. I went to Bebe's cause of all the great reviews on Yelp, and she is super close to my work. I swear, we exchanged maybe 10 words the entire time she was threading my virgin-to-threading eyebrows. It scared the heck out of my hearing every hair go pink-pink-pink when it was ripped off my face. BUT i now have supermodel eyebrows, not too skinny, not too huge, and perfectly arched! read more

Ups: Very efficient. VERY THOROUGH (this actually goes a LONG way in my book). Bebe is very sweet. Not that expensive. You can make online appointments. In SF. Downs: Am not that crazy about my brow shape. I mean the shape is OK, and it's clean. But it doesn't complement my face or my face shape :( .. rather, |:( read more

Bebe does a great job with eyebrow threading and facials. Although I have never gotten eyebrow threading before, I felt really comfortable with Bebe doing her work. It wasn't painful at all. During my facial she was playing some ambient music and I was super relaxed. Don't hesitate to go here, all you males who want to be pampered. read more

When someone's pulling hair from your face using only cotton, you want someone who's confident, quick, and accurate. Bebe is all of these things, and definitely the best threader I've come across in a while. Her confident approach is the giveaway to her experience. She won't ask you what you think needs to be done; she already knows that when you walk in the door. That's not to say that she doesn't listen to your concerns or areas you'd like to focus on - she definitely does. But she knows her stuff, and it shows. She isn't 100% pain-free, because threading is never going to be painless. But she is very quick, with a steady hand, and that really minimizes the pain. Her prices are really reasonable, AND there is free candy while you wait in the pretty, cosy waiting area. What more can you ask for?! read more

Great prices. Great looking Eyebrows. Why would you EVER put wax on your face again!?! I've had skin ripped off even at REPUTABLE places...no more! Plus, i almost kinda LIKE the way it feels to have my brows threaded. Am i sick? quite possibly...but my boyfirend likes it :) But in all seriousness, if you're afraid of the pain take an advil before hand. The first time i did this i experienced some breakouts above my brows..but i think that was due to not having ever done this before. Go home and wash your face after and it should take care of that. I've had some facials here...not the best, not the worst...but I go elsewhere for that now...but for brows, i'll never stray! read more

I'm not going to lie to you. Threading hurts! Especially if you've never done it before and are not use to it, or if you have hair around the very sensitive eyelid area. This was my first time trying threading. I've always had my brows tweezed, but decided to try threading because it's suppose to be cleaner, comparable in pain, and much faster. I definitely agree with the cleaner and much faster piece. However, I'd say it did hurt and my eyes were watering up towards the end. Then again, I've always been the teary-eyed type... It wasn't intolerable pain, and I can see getting use to it after a few times. Specific to Bebe, I thought the place was a great, no-frills, quick in-and-out type place. She charges $15, cheaper than any other place I know about in the city. She's not a chatty gal, but definitely friendly. She gave me a tissue when my tears started spilling, and wiped my brows with a cucumber scented liquid. Also, I was late for my appointment by 10 minutes, and she made no fuss about it and took me right in. read more

awesome. I really had no idea what to expect but Bebe was calming and sweet and had an extremely cozy bed to lie on. it definitely hurts but really isn't that bad; my eyes just watered the whole time so that I couldn't open them if I had wanted. She goes so fast I felt like I wasn't going to have any brows left! luckily they looked great and she even gave me a demo because I was so fascinated with what just happened to me. read more

I've been coming to Bebe for threading about 2 years and I totally trust her with my brows. She cleans them up perfectly while maintaining a full shape. She is quick but takes her time. Another great thing is that it's very easy to make an appointment online and she accepts credit cards. read more

Bebe does an excellent job threading eyebrows. I have never seen my brows look so amazingly manicured. Every time I looked in the mirror I was like, "Who's that girl?" Unfortunately, I've only gone once and probably won't return. It's hard to get an appointment with her during off business hours, and she doesn't work a full-time schedule at this location. The service also wasn't particularly great. I had to wait for a while, and she didn't greet me when I walked in. Instead it was more of a, "Lay down here." But hey, she get's the job done and maybe that's not as important when your brows look so awesome. read more

This is my first time getting my eyebrows and upper lips threaded instead of waxing. I must say this was a interesting experience. Bebe was quick with her threading skill and she was friendly. The radio was playing in the background and i was happy i can listen to the music while she was doing the threading. I was told the pain shouldn't be as bad as waxing... hmm... i would say there is pain but in a different type of pain.. as if you were getting pinch many times on the face.. but it was a tolerate pain since it doesn't take too long for bebe to finish my brows and lip. In the end, the results is great. No sticky mess leftover like waxing would do. My face is smooth. In the end, it was worth it. I think i'll be threading more often then getting wax. Prices is reasonable.. but parking can be a issue if it's during "busy" lunch hour in that neighborhood area. =) read more

You wax your face? UGH. We can't even be friends! j/k. But seriously, threading is awesome. I'm not talking about going to the mall and sitting in a chair in front of shoppers looking up your nose, while you're holding your Wetzels Pretzel's lemonade cup...WRONG. Bebe encompasses AWESOMENESS. Meaning, she will shape your unruly eyebrows into perfection...After she's done with you, she'll hand you a mirror and you'll be THRILLED with what you see. I LOVE BEBE!!!!!!! read more

A full five stars for Bebe. Why? When it comes to skincare / hair removal, forget 'pro tips.' It's about 'Indian girl tips.' And when it comes to Indian Girl Tips, look no further than yours truly Indian girls know their hair removal, and that's why I was referred to Bebe, and that's why I'm taking the time out of my Sopranos-binging to refer you. Best threading in the city. Careful, precise, and artistic. Advised me to grow my eyebrows out and they look a world different now. Appts required, text the number to schedule. read more

Bebela provides the best threading services in the city at a reasonable price. Instead of hauling yourself to Berkeley, Milpitas, or Mountain View, you can save your gas money and commute time for a $15 eyebrow threading session for 15 minutes right in San Francisco. This value also beats the absurdly overpriced threading services in the rest of this 7x7 city! Bebela has one of the best deep cleansing facials! She is very hands-on and gentle. She is also one of the most interesting aestheticians I know. I look forward to every appointment because we always chat about an interesting topic. Our lively conversations descend to silence as I relax and enjoy her facial services, and she works her magic. The highlight is the amazing foot and hair/scalp massage to top off the soothing and rejuvenating facial! I walk out with a healthy glow that lasts for several days. Even my dermatologist noticed the difference in my skin! Since she is a one woman shop and very hardworking, I wouldn't be surprised if she has a loyal cult following. She also sets up shop in Monterey on Monday-Wednesday, and works in San Francisco on Thursday-Sunday. read more

Now that I'm too far from Deepa to see her regularly, Bebe's my go-to threader. She is quick and my eyebrows look great when she's done. Also, booking appointments online is super convenient. Bebe works above a salon called "SOAPS." Just walk right across the salon and head into what looks like a closet. Bebe's up the stairs. Parking is difficult, and the 22 runs late pretty much any afternoon, so aim to get there early. read more

Only two people are allowed to tamper with my eyebrows: Bebe and myself (though, I really don't trust myself with much more than plucking the occasional stray hair). Bebe is amazing. She's been threading my eyebrows for almost a year now and I've never left unsatisfied with the results (knock on wood, I don't want to jinx it though). I usually get my upper lip threaded along with my eyebrows and the total comes to $25 only (plus $2-3 tip, depending on how many dollars I have on me). The threading lasts me a good 3-4 weeks. As far as pain goes, I don't find it painful at all, but I've also endured three tattoos, so maybe my threshold of pain is kind of high. The only bad part about visiting Bebe is that Marc by Marc Jacobs is right across the street and M.A.C. is only a few blocks away. I can't control myself when it comes to Marc and M.A.C.!!! read more
