Completely unprofessional. I shouldn't have had to pay for this. Poor business ethics
Erewa U.

Absolutely Not. Never Again. I told the esthetician before she started that my upper lip is super sensitive. She nodded and claimed she understood--then double waxed me anyway. When I questioned it, she confidently assured me that since she wasn't applying a "new layer" of wax, it would be fine. Spoiler: it was not fine. Now the skin above my lip is red, raised, inflamed, and painful. When I pointed it out, she was in complete denial and tried to brush it off like I was overreacting--even though it looked visibly irritated. I left the appointment more upset and anxious than when I walked in. This was incompetent, dismissive, and borderline dangerous. Save your money, your skin, and your peace of mind and go literally anywhere else. This place is TRASH.

Absolutely awful service! My eyebrows are uneven! I will never be returning to this place. I had gone here once before and my service was good, but I believe it's because the person who did my eyebrows may be new. Regardless, my eyebrows are done terrible.

Very clean and convenient place located across from Trade Joe's. I found Kamala's based on Yelp reviews. My experience was very positive. There was only one person in front of me on a weekday around 4pm. I walked in because I didn't see a way to make an appointment online; this didn't seem like an issue at all. My eyebrows look way better than other places I've been where I've sometimes paid more than triple Kamala's price. She was very warm and gentle, and I can see why she has so many loyal customers! As a heads up, there's a 99 cent fee if you pay with your credit card (but there are signs about this around the store, so it shouldn't come as a surprise).

Cuts on chin after threading

I felt a lot more pain than usual after getting my chin threaded. I even tipped generously until I came to the car and felt stinging pains continue. Turned out she had cut me in several places on my chin. Worst experience from a salon considering I have been getting my brows threaded for years. So disappointing.

Kamala is the only person I currently trust with my brows! Her salon is located really conveniently on MLK and University. She knows exactly how to shape my brows to compliment my face, I always leave here feeling so confident! She is super sweet and works pretty quickly. Sometimes there is a wait but it's never too long. She does finish with some aloe vera gel and gives a nice temple massage which I love.

amazing! Love it! . I only come here. Everyone else leaves my chin cut up. And on top of that, she does such a great job. She never does too many of my eyebrows. She does it just write, gentle, she listens to me. When I go other places they don't listen to you, and they sometimes even drop blood. Not her. Also, I love that she is a woman owned business and it's the actual owner that is taking care of you every time not just a worker. I can't give her a better review. If I could, I would give her six stars! Thank you so much for all your hard work and leaving us beautiful. I've been coming here for years. I don't go anywhere else.

She is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and truly takes pride in what she does. I go every two weeks, and I've been so happy with the results after every single appointment. She even offers loyalty cards, which is such a nice touch. Her suite is always clean, organized, and welcoming, with relaxing music playing. She is also so accommodating and genuinely cares about making sure you have the best experience possible, no matter what service you're getting. You can tell that she really cares about her clients and the quality of her work. I highly recommend Anita to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their brows and facial threading.

I have had many bad brow experiences over the years and have been avoiding waxing for a long time because of this. I am glad to say this is no longer the case; Anita fixed me up! She provided a comprehensive consultation, listened, and really understood the goals I am trying to achieve with my brows. I will definitely recommend seeing Anita if you have brow troubles. She also takes before and after photos which I appreciate the attention to detail and documentation for future sessions! I am looking forward to going back again next time! Thank you. I like my eyebrows again!!!

I really wanted to love this place after seeing all the great reviews, but unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it for what I was looking for. I had been growing my eyebrows out for months because I wanted to change the shape and make them more even. Unfortunately, my brows were basically just cleaned up and shaped the way I already had them before, so I felt like I grew them out for nothing. I was also offered a tint to help make them look more even. Unfortunately, the tint didn't help and actually made the difference more noticeable because there was dark tint left on the skin underneath one brow, making it look even higher. I also felt like the tint didn't really change anything, so it felt like money wasted. I brought my daughter for her first brow shaping because she has very thick, long brows and only wanted them cleaned up and shaped. Unfortunately, hers were also left uneven -- one was thick and rounded while the other had a more pointed arch. She was disappointed as well. I will say the lady was very sweet, welcoming, and kind, and the place was extremely busy with lots of customers coming in and out. I have nothing negative to say about her customer service. Based on my experience, I would recommend this place more for cleaning up and maintaining an eyebrow shape you already like, rather than creating a new shape, evening out uneven brows, or doing a first-time brow transformation. For those services, I would personally look for someone who specializes more specifically in brow shaping.

She kept my natural shape but cleaned it up perfectly to frame my face. The process was super quick--less than 15 minutes--and much less painful than other places I've been. We started talking about dogs and how I just put my older guy down, I started to cry and she asked if she could give me a hug, I said of course and that act of kindness made it all better! The studio was clean, professional, and the price was very reasonable for the quality. I'll definitely be coming back!

In fact, this was my first eyebrow threading experience and I was more than pleased. It's located in the first floor of one of the big apartment buildings on San Pablo - it's a small kiosk type shop with a number of other beauty service related operations. Even though it is on SP, parking was really easy to find - I just parked around the corner on a side street less than a block away. Shanti was absolutely amazing! Her vibe is super chill and laid back and she has the precision of a surgeon. I couldn't believe how clean and perfect my brows were when she finished. As a first time threading recipient, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the pain is quite minimal. If you have any experience with tweezing and/or waxing, you'll be just fine. Shanti is really great making you feel comfortable. She holds great conversation and is really friendly. I would go back and make sure that I book with her specifically in the future just to hang with her again while she brings my brows back to life. I get my brows laminated every few months, and I like them to be really precise and combed and gel upwards and bushy. She took every stray hair out, evened them out and trimmed them where needed. All in about 15 minutes! Definitely don't sleep on this cozy little shop and get pampered at a great price with a professional with a ton of experience who makes it look really easy!
