Anyways, when I first got in, they seated me really quick because the time I went in had no one. I guess because I got there really late, almost when they needed to close. They have a guest bathroom for their customers all the way in the back and it's super clean. I had to wash my face after the threading because my face became so red and bumpy from the threading. They were very nice about it and told me to splash my face with cold water and applied aloe Vera gel to cool my face. Overall a pretty good job at cleaning and trimming my eyebrows. The thread did break off a couple of times and she used a new one. They cleaned out most of my face and blackheads up but there was still some blackheads or hair on my temples. I had to puff my cheeks and hold onto my eyelids close for them to get in the hard areas. I just have a lot of blackheads so it's pretty tough to get rid of them. The service was quick and I was out like that. They are very nice people and it was a quiet service where there's no talking so that's good.

I knew I was going to be in the area and heard great things about Thread... so I decided to try…read morethem out! $12 for an eyebrow thread is a better price than I've previously paid, so I was excited to see the results! Their website is very easy to navigate and book an appointment through. I was greeted by a very kind esthetician and receptionist. The vibe of Thread is lovely! It's a nice space that kinda reminds me a bit of a modernized salon-like barber shop. Once it was my turn, I sat down and she got right to work, confirming I wanted a clean. She didn't ask many questions after, but hey, I'm not picky with my brows, I just want them to look nice and even, and she definitely delivered! The service was fantastic throughout! Also, at the end, she put some soothing aloe and gave me a temple massage -- it was so lovely :). They have a loyalty punch card so you can get a free wax after coming 7+ times I believe. I'll certainly be back!

Overall rating: 3.5…read more Well, well what can I say. If you request one person, one time - they claim you anytime you visit again. Even if you did not re-request them. You are claimed. I tried to go different days they weren't working & it doesn't matter. They miraculously are working that day... not happy. The prices are great so I do want to try another location to see if it's the same experience. I also asked to get my inner butt since I paid for Brazilian and she refused. She said no. For a service that I'm paying for. It was not cool. Will not be back. I also am susceptible to ingrowns and I thought it was so ironic when she told me it's bc I don't go often or that I'm using other people. When in fact, I was stuck with her the last 4x.

Despite the overgrowth, she managed to make the experience virtually painless, and while she took her time and I never felt rushed (like I do at some other threading spots), I still was out the door very quickly, with no angry redness on my face to reveal where I'd just been, so I could easily get on with my night.

I question this again as not much was done and was told there isn't a reduced fee for a clean up. She won't budge so I show her their website quotes $25, but refused to honor it. Something to keep in mind if you go. I'll only be doing my lip from now on with my preferred person.

We would've left but my niece was so excited about her first henna. We showed her a very simple design of flowers (please see the photos of my niece's hands, she could've done that herself and she's six). She then "gave us a discount" by only charging us $30 for both hands. I didn't want to make a scene because I didn't want to make my niece cry, so we paid it. Never again. Beware of this scam. Edited: While I appreciate your offer we are going to decline. And with all due respect, that design had nothing to do with a 6 year old moving. I suggest moving forward you indicate on your website that you are by appointment only, and perhaps let your coworkers know that as well so they can answer questions appropriately and not wait people's time. Be sure to include the days of the week too, since we came today which is actually a Monday and not Sunday. Finally, please tell that lady to just say no to henna requests, no one else needs to suffer.

I read Angelica S's review and am astonished at her reporting of events. I was the other person mentioned. First of all, I am not a friend. I am a client since the year the business was established. I was in the chair and left the salon after the completion of services, so Angelica would have known that I was a customer because she had been waiting on the seat behind me. When I returned, I sat on the side chair and the staff asked if Angelica would mind waiting. I heard Angelica say that this was no problem. At no time during this exchange did the staff eat cake. The owner could have known that because the salon has a camera. It's sad that customers distort facts to suit their perspective. I am a long-term customer and can certainly speak to the professionalism of the staff that day. Dr. Gita read more

The salon was spacious and impeccably clean, creating a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Nupur took incredible care of me.

I was clear in my instructions and the second one even confirmed that she could see the borders from the last time. They were both very nice and apologetic, but realistically, they can't do anything to fix it and I just have to wait for it to grow back. It's frustrating to pay for a monthly wax package and only feel comfortable with one person. Maybe other locations are better, but I'm hesitant to try anyone else because I've only been disappointed.
