She also wore a mask the entire time which I really appreciated (especially since I was wearing a mask and was self-conscious about it). I'm excited to continue seeing her for waxing.

Alexandra (the owner and esthetician) and her colleague, Kari (the massage therapist) were both so thorough, gentle, and attuned to what my friends and I wanted and needed for our facials and massages. They took such good care of us in a way that I can't put into words. Did I also mention how they closed down their whole shop and provided drinks and snacks for all of us for the day? They really went above and beyond--not only in the services they offered but also their overall hospitality.

Especially impressive is her awareness of how your particular skin reacts. She really pays attention and with each subsequent appointment, she builds her knowledge of your skin and your body. With her deep knowledge of skin care and how it relates to the entire body, she uses those observations to adjust her technique to ensure the highest level of comfort for you. She also shares her observations with you, how they relate to other things happening in the body and helping you learn more about yourself. Never have I received this level of personalized and thoughtful care. She makes you feel totally accepted and cared for. Also of note is the beautiful, clean and cozy space she has designed. Soft diffused light falls from the skylight, creating a safe space where life's hard edges have been checked at the door. She is not just a waxer. She pours her heart and soul into her craft and her clients are the luckiest of beneficiaries. I cannot recommend her enough.

I felt like I've known her forever! We instantly connected. I'll be back for my next wax .

Can't believe I haven't left this place a review yet! I was referred this spot from a friend, and I…read morehaven't been disappointed. Whether it's eyebrow threading or eyelash extensions, the service is quick but done extraordinarily well. Eyebrow threading is walk-in and takes less than ten minutes (although may need to build in extra wait time if there are people in front of you, but I have never been there for more than 20 total). Eyelashes require an appointment, which is easy to do via phone or text. I opted for the classic lash, which looked extremely natural, and my lashes have stayed on for a while (only about 25% have fallen after three weeks). Prices are also extremely reasonable and I have truly not been disappointed with the results. Would highly recommend!

Thank you for still being here as my local aesthetician in Berkeley all these years, Annahita .

It's not just about the services she offers, but the camaraderie and relationships built over time.

I'll be back again soon as this is my regular nail spot. I recommend if you are looking for an affordable, high quality, and vegan friendly salon!

It's $10 for a quick brow threading and she does a great job! I go here whenever I can and sometimes even make the drive to Berkeley just to get it done. During all of my times that I've been here, I have never had any complaints. She does a great job of mapping the right shape to your face. Compared to other places, this doesn't hurt as much. (and I've been to brow salons where I break out after threading due to them being too aggressive.) The only caveat I have about this salon is that the hours are inconsistent online and in person, so make sure to call if you are unsure!
