I just realized my review was NINE years old! And yes, she's still 5 star amazing and I've been going to her this entire time. My face looks amazing as always and she really takes her time and pampers you. You never feel rushed and she gives you this feeling of being the most loved and supported person while you're with her. She truly cares about her clients and wants you to not only look great, but to feel great inside and out. She's an incredibly talented esthetician. I can't recommend her highly enough! Happy customer of ten years!! read more

Navya and her healing space are just that! and then some... I have been doing the standard waxing clean up for many years. Navya talked me into doing brazilian for the first time....eeekkkk..... I've never looked back! I do love it! She is the Best at it! I have gone to several others in her absence only 2x and that was Enough!. They were no where near as caring and gentle and quick/speedy at it. One of these experiences even gave my sensitive lady garden Brush Burn!?!?!? So, back to Navya once and for all! :) The Best! Hands down. Seriously. Oh, and her facials.....Divine! Cathy D. read more

Went to see Navya for the first time yesterday for a facial. I don't know what she did other than be amazing! Wonderful products with the extra ingredient of LOVE for sure. I can't remember the last time my skin was so happy. I walkjed our feeling like a million bucks ready to conquer everything ahead. I might add fabulous feng shui! There's a lot of heart out into this place. Love you Navya! So glad to have found you. read more

This place is a gem on MLK!! Finding spots like this make me happy to have moved to this side of town. It's easy to drive past it, so go slow. My eyebrows look amazing and this will be my new go to place read more

I hate to ruin the 5 star streak she's got going, but I did not have the experience I was expecting. I would give one star, but she didn't charge me since I was unhappy, so I'll give two stars. First off, my eyebrows looked very wild going in, I have been growing them out for a little while in anticipation of someone (Navya) professionally cleaning them up for me. There were stray hairs everywhere, and I was really looking forward to a cleaner look (i.e. no stray hairs!). I am also going to a wedding next weekend that I'm a bridesmaid in, so I wanted to look extra cleaned up. When she was "done" she showed me the mirror and my eyebrows literally looked the exact same. There were still stray hair everywhere in places I didn't want them and there were no clean lines, they did not look good. I am super low maintenance and like the natural look, but if I wanted them this natural, I wouldn't have come in to get them professionally done. I kept asking her to fix certain things that I did not like and she refused saying "as an artist I can''t do that, I just can't". I wasn't asking for anything crazy, just make it look clean and remove the damn stray hairs! She kept saying that if I wanted stick eyebrows I should go to an Asian place. It felt very condescending and rude. She kept telling me that she was leaving the stray hairs there so they could grow in fuller, but trust me, they are plenty full, I did not want giant bush eyebrows and she would not give me what I wanted. She kept telling me to put eye shadow in the areas that were patchy and has stray hairs until they grow in and I kept explaining that I am very low maintenance and will not realistically be putting eye show in my eyebrows ever, especially not as a daily routine. Not everyone has the same haircut, and not everyone has the same damn eyebrows. It was just frustrating. Now I'm going to this wedding that I'm in and my eyebrows look like crap. So beware, if you want to look a certain way and she doesn't agree, she will not do it. read more

I am pretty eyebrow obsessed, which is hard to believe because a) most of the world really doesn't care that much about eyebrows-- rightfully so, and b) my eyebrows never actually look that good. They look kinda like... eyebrows. Which is hair on your face. So I don't know what it is I am expecting from them, but there it is. I've gone to Kiss N Makeup several times and liked it, but my friends were pretty unimpressed with what $60-ish dollars and painful plucking were getting me. Don't get me wrong, I was well taken care of, but they looked like... eyebrows. Enter Navya. Spoiler alert: my eyebrows still look like eyebrows. But I felt like I was in competent and kind hands, she took the time to talk to me about a long-term plan for the brows (for context, I don't have a long-term plan for my life), and the price was reasonable. I'd definitely recommend a visit. read more

I found Navya off of Yelp, and I actually had to run back and open my account back up to write this. I had been letting my brows grow out for a while, but had no idea where to go so someone could take them and shape them. Navya did a great job, and I love her technique. She leaves little bits of brow in just the right spots so that your brows can actually grow into the shape you want them too. To me, that is true brow artistry, and I cannot wait to see how mine grow out and I cannot wait for my follow up visit with her. The environment was also super relaxing, I went about the rest of my day so calmly. (UPDATE) Navya has been my go to ever since. She pays SUCH attention to detail. My brows have transformed -- I didn't even know they were that bad until 2 months of Navya's magic. They went from these thin, overly strung sticks to (if I may brag) brows that Lily Collins would be proud of. Highly, highly recommend Navya. I've sent about three friends her way and they all adore her. read more

I just moved into the same building where Navya's studio is located, so I decided to book a facial with her because of her wonderful reviews on Yelp and her close proximity. It was the best beauty decision I made since I moved to Austin from Chicago, as it was the best facial I ever had! I felt so pampered, and her facial techniques are top-notch. I have had several facials in Chicago, and Navya blew them out of the water. She is also very welcoming, professional, and genuine. It doesn't hurt that her studio is also very elegant and soothing. I am planning to make an appointment for my eyebrows next (she even removed a couple hairs that she felt needed to go during my facial). I highly recommend Navya and am so grateful that her studio is close to my home. read more

I have been meaning to write this review for so long because Navya is the best. I have "full brows" (meaning they need a lot of maintenance) and Navya gives them a great shape. I get tons of compliments. I've also gotten laser with Navya and I have to say it is awesome. If you are tired of waxing/shaving, it is totally worth it-- very effective. I'd always thought about it but never took the plunge, and Navya convinced me. I'm so glad she did. But all this aside, Navya is just the best. The truth is, you spend a lot of time with the person who does your waxing and lasering. A sad statement about life in my 30s, but I don't think I have many girlfriends who I see at least once a month, despite our best efforts. But I see Navya that often-- and the fact that she is such a fun, warm person makes that a pleasure. I always look forward to seeing her and catching up. And, to top it off, Navya found my wedding venue for me. I can't promise she'll solve big problems like that for you...but she might! read more

Navya is the best. I started getting my brows waxed by her a few years ago. She came up with a brow plan for me and now my brows look better than they ever have. Not only is she talented, but she is a lovely and caring person. She has transformed a cottage into her studio off of East MLK and it's a very warm and welcoming space. read more

I have been a client for years and can't imagine going anywhere else. Navya makes the usually unpleasant task of waxing, actually quite pleasant. I never feel rushed and she always acccommodates my scheduling needs. I love Navya! Could not askl for a better aesthetician and friend!! YOU SHOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!! read more

I LOVE Navya. I love her! I went for a brow wax with my kid...a real bonding experience. She was so cool! We had texted a few times when making the appointment. When I got there it was like I was seeing my sister. Hugs all around on the way in. Then it is down to business. My kid went first. They were very comfortable. Then I saw what a detailedjob she was doing I asked her if she had time for me. She did! So I got mine done too. There are many reviews here about Navya doing corrections. Well, I needed that too. In fact, on the way in I secretly wanted a brow job but was scared to do it because they had been really screwed up at other places. Well, I got it done and am on a plan to get these brows back to normal...fingers crossed! While there she was looking at my upper lip which I had never had done but was thinking I really need to do something but was scared of Stubble! Yes, there was a girl in college who had stubble and I did not want that. Well Navya explained stubble to be and assured I would not get it...so RIP! RIP! RIP! I have baby soft skin on my upper lip right now. Navya, if you are reading this....see you again soon Sister! read more

I have only been to Navya twice for a brow wax but I see a big difference in my brows already. She's definitely a fan of the thicker look, which I love. Thick, but clean. Navya hits that right on. She also told me to start applying castor oil to my brows every night to help with the thickness. I've been doing it for a month now and what! It totally works. I just recently went back to visit DC (where I moved to Austin from) and got multiple comments from different sets of friends about my eyebrows. I've already referred a co worker to Navya and she loves her too. Not only is she a great brow lady she's also a great person, making you feel comfortable and making conversation while getting them done. She takes her time to make sure your brows are absolutely perfect- which I love. read more

I have been a client of Navya's since 2010. I have received many services from her including eyebrow waxing, eyebrow tinting, lash tinting, facials, bikini waxing, Brazilian waxing, and several areas of laser treatments... bikini, lip, and chin, with AMAZING RESULTS! Yes I am a self-admitted NAVYA FAN!!!!!!!! While I did expect great service and continue to receive great service, I did not expect to develop such a close friendship with Navya. She is the most genuine, sincere, and kind hearted person I have ever met. She truly cares about each of her clients and helping them achieve the results they want. I do not know what I would do without her! read more

Not only is Navya the sweetest woman, she is also the best and most professional esthetician I've ever had. I've been moving around a lot and have been doing my brows and bikini for over ten years, which means I have pretty high standards. I've never felt in better hands - here you will laugh and have fun while you're getting your pain free treatment, and the results are amazing! She is a true professional, and gives you great beauty tips. My brows turned out to get the best shape they ever had with the most natural color, and she made sure to get every one of my light lashes tinted. Bikini was painless and thorough. Can't wait to go back. read more

Navya is fabulous, I have been coming to her for the last year, for waxing and laser. Now I refuse to go anywhere else. She is genuine and passionate about what she does, and has a way to make every client feel comfortable and receive the best experience possible. read more

I'm going to keep it short and sweet, because there's no need to embellish a simple, honest fact: Navya is the best skin care/waxing professional in Austin, hands down. Not only is she very good at what she does, but she's a beautiful person on the inside and out. read more

What a delightful spot Navya is, and how competent, caring, generous and professional Navya herself is when it comes to brow shaping and care. She has not only great technique and esthetic sense, but also great energy. I felt revitalized and refreshed and positive, all from a simple brow shaping appointment. Good parking; very clean, nice space; sweet receptionist who was having computer troubles; comfy waiting room. Navya is a natural connector too. She has many business cards on her desk from people she knows and is willing to recommend for other services. Being somewhat new to Austin, that was a big help also. High recommendations to Navya, which I found due to other good references on Yelp. read more

Navya is a pro! I've been waxing for years, from NYC to Sao Paolo, Brazil and I must say that Navya is the best I've ever been to. She is professional and runs a very clean establishment. Navya takes time to explain how to care for your skin and makes you feel comfortable despite the circumstances ;-). She truly cares about her clients, remembering most details from the last few times she's seen you-- which adds a fabulous personal touch. Don't pass her up.. she is THE BEST in town! read more

Navya is amazing. I've been to her for both facials and waxing and she does both incredibly well. I went to have the signature facial recently and felt so wonderfully relaxed afterwards. Plus, my skin felt much cleaner and softer. Her waxing is as good as a waxing experience can be. I don't go to anyone else. read more

I have been to Navya a handful of times and leave happy each time. My eyebrows are unruly and I always leave loving the shape. If you are in search of a new esthetician well my friend your search is over. read more

Navya has always been so wonderful to me. She makes me feel comfortable and I always leave there with a smile and feeling great! LOVE YOU NAVYA! read more

Navya is not a waxer, she is a brow shaping specialist! She is the first person I've found that strategically shapes and helps you grow your brows to be beautiful and shapely. She is an absolute pro at what she does and you can't leave without falling in love with her. Every visit is full of laughs and fun stories (even those not so pleasant bikini waxes). I have gone to Navya for brow shaping, bikini waxing and laser hair removal and I have been thrilled with all the services. Go once and I promise you will become a believer. read more

Navya is incredibly sweet and takes the pain out of the bikini waxing experience. This year was my first bikini wax ever, and she made me feel at ease and did a fantastic job. She is quick and never misses a hair. I can't imagine getting waxed by anyone else. read more

Navya is absolutely AMAZING!!! I am an absolute loyal customer knowing that she will take care of my waxing needs. I drive all the way from South Texas just to see her and it's definitely worth it! I've gone very of many places that just don't have that personal touch or I leave very unhappy with results. You are guaranteed this will never happen with Navya which is very refreshing! read more

Plain and simple: this lady is the sweetest professional and KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING. I cannot recommend her enough. Pleasant experience all around and my eyebrows have never looked better. THANK YOU NAVYA!!! read more

Navya is amazing! I have been getting my eyebrows waxed by her for over 2 years now and I really do love them and her. My brows were pretty funky before I got in to see Navya. They were misshapen and over waxed from waxers who thought that they were the best (they actually told me that they were the best, *gross*). Navya worked with me at regrowing and then reshaping my brows and I couldn't be any happier. I listened to her advice and my brows grew back in fuller and thicker. I really I love Navya, her personality (she's bubbly, hilarious, a sweetheart) and her work. I just can't say enough great things about her! read more

Highly recommend Navya! She is not only a wonderful human, but she is an artist! My invisible blonde eyebrows that I've always hated, she has transformed them (thanks to wax and tint) into a something that makes me feel beautiful. I also just started tinting my eyelashes, and holy cow, I love them! read more

Getting waxed is no fun but some how Navya seems to make it a good experience every time. She knows me well and customizes her treatment to my needs and does it with an amazing attitude. I truly would not go to anyone else, she rocks. Love Navya. read more

I had an awesome experience. My face glowed for day's after my facial. I just made another appointment.

Navya is awesome. I see her every month for a Brazilian wax and she does a flawless job, and gets in with her tweezers for as long as I'll let her. After a while I'm like, "Navya! It doesn't have to be perfect!" Her response? "I know darlin, just a few more..." I've shopped around before, as I find a lot of waxers don't pay close attention to detail, but with Navya, that's never the case. It took one appointment with Navya for me to know I'd never see anyone else. I think she sees everyone that walks in her door as a new friend, and that attitude really comes through in her work. Believe me, the last thing you want is someone all up in your bizness with a stern look and surgical-like attitude. (Been there, no thank you!) Navya always makes me laugh and chats with me about my life (or hers, if I'm not feeling chatty) the entire time. Before I know it, the session is over, which makes me sad until I get home and see her work. Then I'm happy. Yes, the "special kind" of happy. read more

Navya is the absolute best in customer service and satisfaction. She took the time to listen to what I wanted to achieve with my eyebrows and made them look beautiful! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for ANY of the services she provides and I will only go to her for my eyebrows! I've been in Austin since 1999 and have been to probably 6-8 different places over the last 10 years and I can promise you -- you will not find a better service than what you will receive with Navya. She is professional and has the warmest personality and will make you feel like you have known her for years! I am so happy that I found her, call her today. You will not be disappointed! read more

Absolutely, hands down, the best in Austin! She's a gift from the heavens when it comes to laser hair removal. Talk about a situation that can be uncomfortable. Not with her! Very relaxing atmosphere and she makes you feel at ease. Thank you Navya! I will never go anywhere else! read more

I just moved away from Austin and went to Navya for two years for brow shaping. She has become a true friend and is a master waxer. I miss going to Navya and sharing updates about our lives and leaving with beautiful brows!! I highly recommend her work and will be visiting her during my next trip to Austin. read more

All I can say is WOW! Navya is amazing. My eyebrows are crazy and she always manages to make them look great. She is so kind and always makes all her clients feel welcome and important. I actually look forward to my waxing appointment!!!! I love her so much and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an aesthetician who cares about the person, not just the task at hand. She is PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!! read more

I am in love with my brows again! Navya is so welcoming, and truly cares about providing the best results to her clients. I have been to many brow specialist in Austin, and although they are all good; I have never had such a pleasant experience. I walked out of Navya's with the perfect brow and feeling great! Navya even provided me her remedy for growing fuller, darker eyebrows and eyelashes! I am sending all my friends and family here! Navya's the best in town! read more

Navya is the brow guru! Not to mention gives the best hugs in town. Secret - try the signature facial!

After my eyebrow-atician semi-retired to raise her fist child I have been searching high and low for someone to help me manage my scorsese like brows to no avail. I've spent almost a year in search of a new eyebrow person and have tried multiple popular places in town. Finally, after searching high and low I was referred to Navya by my gym friend who was raving about a recent facial she had. I asked "does she do eyebrows?" and my friend said "yes, she's an eyebrow expert!". I immediately cancelled my next brow appointment at the place I had been going that was just OK and immediately booked a wax with Navya. Navya is warm and open and you instantly feel like family. Her space is pristine, modern, soothing and immaculate. Her prices are reasonable and she is incredibly detail oriented. She took her time studying my eyebrows and face shape and made some suggestions to get my eyebrows back to how they were pre-eybrow-atician retirement. I left with cleaner, sexier eyebrows and the confidence that at long last my search for the perfect brow person was finally over! I just had my second brow wax with Navya this week and couldn't be happier with the way my "Scorsese's" are looking. I am also looking forward to trying other waxing with Navya and her facial services too. If you want to feel pampered, primped and polished as well as comfortable and relaxed then Navya is the one for you! read more

Navya is AMAZING!!! I have been going to her for 3 years now, and I am absolutely obsessed. She does an incredible job on my brows. She gives me a perfect arch every time, which I love! More than that, I love our conversations though! She is just wonderful - so delightful to talk to, and gives the best advice. I honestly look forward to every appointment I make with her. How often can you say that about someone that pulls strips of hot wax off of your face?! She is just THAT fantastic - she turns something painful and awkward into something you actually look forward to! Book an appointment with her today, you won't regret it!!! read more

I was always afraid to get my eyebrows waxed before I went to Navya. I had heard so many horror stories, but the moment I walked in I knew I had nothing to worry about. She is the most friendly person I have ever met and she put me at ease right away. My eyebrows looked perfect when I left; she truly is an artist and I will never go to anyone else. I also recently started getting the medical facials and my face already looks so much better. I have struggled with acne for over a decade and for the first time in years I feel comfortable going out without makeup. Navya is a miracle worker and a joy to be around! read more
