    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    Quality service, lovely experience with the kind Kamala. She takes her time and gives quality results. I grew my eyebrows for months and told her I wanted her to shape it but to keep the thickness. She did her magic. Highly recommend! She told me her story of how she grew her small business over time so the low reviews below make me sad for her as it's not a reflection of her work but others at her shop. I loved the work so much, I brought my mom the next day. She's excellent at what she does and can definitely charge more!

    See all

Vibe was more small salon shop. Note: they take apply pay! The lady doing my eyebrows was very efficient and communicative. Took like 10 mins max. She asks what you want for your eyebrows and follows your instructions! I thought what I asked for and what I got was pretty similar! She will give you cooling gel after if you request it. My service was $14 not including tip! I would come again once in a while, may be when I have another eyebrow emergency and my wallet agrees!

I'm a woman who has been growing out my hairline for the past 8 months with the goal of making my forehead look smaller, and every time I've gone in for forehead threading and explained that I want to keep as many baby hairs as possible (even taking a mirror and pointing to the hairs), they've taken a ton of hair off my hairline. Every time they just nod as if they understand the request but don't ask any followup questions. The last time I went, they completely removed 8 months of growth... which really surprised me because the hair was LONG and not once did they check in with me to check in with me about what they were doing. It's pretty upsetting to grow your hair out for almost a year and have it decimated in fifteen minutes. I was a monthly customer for over a year with the old owner Nirmala, who I never had this issue with. Nirmala was extremely communicative and made sure she understood what I wanted before she started the service, whether she was threading my eyebrows or my forehead. Unfortunately, I won't be returning with the new management. I would err on the side of caution if you have specific requests, because IMO the new owners are not as communicative or conservative about hair removal as the old owner was.
