This was my first time getting my eyebrows threaded in over three years and I had such a positive experience. Zadi is so so knowledgeable and cares so much about her work and it shows in every part of her practice! I have very sensitive skin and very stubborn eyebrows but she was very light-handed (gentle) and also took the time to explain to me her approach to threading. She's also very warm and funny!! I already booked my next appointment and am happy to have found someone new. PSA for first timers: My map stopped me in front of the frame shop on Coast Highway, but her studio is located behind that frame shop / next to the design store. You can see her garden over her little wooden gate and when I walked up her studio door was open. read more

If your going to look for the best, thats the place to be. Very friendly, proffessional, and experienced talent. The place is cozy, clean, has a lot to offer eyebrow threading, microblading, waxing, facials, and the whole beaufy nine yards. Came to get my eyebrows done. Didn't feel a thing while threading, her touch is as light as a feather... painless unlike my past experiences in other places. Can't believe how quick ans painless the service is. Highly recommend the place to get your facial, eyebrow, or waxing needs done. Well priced, parking available, super friendly, punctual in time, clean and cozy place. A hidden gem in the area. Thank you for your outstanding work on me. read more

Sweethread - Hair Removal Near Me - Encinitas, California

New to the area and tried Sweethread because of the great Yelp reviews and I am so glad I did - Zadi is wonderful! I have been twice now and my brows look better than ever. Unlike some other places I've been, Zadi's work is (practically) painless. Like others have said, she provides a clean, comfortable, and warm environment, and I look forward to coming back. She was also very understanding when a bad freeway accident made me more than 30 mins late to my appointment - I called her to let her know and she called me back and told me not to worry, that I would still have my spot when I got there. When I arrived she was able to get me taken care of and didn't make me cancel or reschedule like a lot of other places would. She's the best! read more

Zadi is amazing! She's truly a perfectionist at what she does! I had never tried threading or sugar waxing before finding her and now I'll never go back to regular waxing! My eyebrows have never looked better and she makes Brazilian waxes not hurt and I'm pregnant! Honestly she makes it as painless as possible and gets every hair!! I highly recommend checking out her place! She's truly an awesome person! Very funny and easy to talk to! So happy to have found her!! read more

I do not recommend: When I first moved down to San Diego I was desperate to find a good eye brow threading place. Key word, desperate. Therefore I ended up going to sweethread. I have come to realize that zadi is unprofessional with the worst customer service skills. I work down in pacific beach and I was running late due to an unforeseen accident. I had left 45 min early to make my appointment and tried to call sweethread 45 min in advance,No answer. I texted, no answer. I showed up 7 minutes late and still no answer. I then got an automated text message saying that all 3 of my next appointments were cancelled. This place is too expensive, and there are much better places that charge less for better quality brows. Thank you sweethread for rudely shutting the door because it has opened other doors for better quality service and brows. Suggestion: you can get Brazilian laser treatments done at a cheaper rate than continuously going to get sugared here. It lasts longer and you don't have to let your hair grow like a cave woman before your next treatment. read more

Zadi is just a miracle worker! She consistently makes sure I'm leaving a happy camper and I'm so thankful to have found her on yelp! She has the cutest set up and the waiting area outside is perfect for relaxing, even with the busy street near by. Even better, she makes getting a brazilian about as easy as it gets. Being a redhead, my skin is incredibly sensitive, but she takes the time to ensure that I'm comfortable and I'm so thankful! read more

I just met Zadi for the first time, but I wish I had met her sooner! I've been getting a Brazilian sugaring for about 4 years now, and Zadi gave the kindest, gentlest service I've ever had. And her pup, Luci, greeted me so warmly! Zadi is the epitome of local business. So glad I stumbled upon her location. I am now officially a monthly returner. read more

I was really excited to try this business since I read the great yelp reviews. I've tried threading before in other cities but haven't found a place in San Diego yet. I found the web site and called to set up an appointment. I listened to the voicemail which said to leave a message or text to set up an appointment. I sent a polite text asking for a first time threading appointment if possible for later the same day. She replies promptly that she had a late afternoon appointment available. We confirmed the time. She sent the address. I thanked her and confirmed the time and location again. I arrived ten minutes early. The door was locked, and there was a sign saying back shortly or with a client. I stood waiting outside. My appointment time came, and I knocked again. Nothing. I called. Nothing. Five minutes...then ten minutes after my appointment time, I texted. Nothing. I finally left and went back home. (I drove ten miles each way for this appointment.) I texted politely again trying to find out what happened. (It's always possible that people have an emergency or a situation with picking up their kids or something so I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt.) Nothing. Not even a response. Needless to say, I was very disappointed at the lack of basic decency to show up for the appointment or to get back to me in the event that she had forgotten. read more

After going to several places in north county, I have decided that this is the place! Locallly in Encinitas , She does both eyebrow threading, and sugaring! I had my full face and eyebrows threaded today and was very happy! She does Facial , Chemical Peels, Sugaring, Face and Eyebrow threading, and shaping too! Check her out Shes defiantly one of a kind! read more

Had my first experience with Zadi today for eyebrow threading. I am an esthetician myself and have been doing my own brows for over 10 years. However, I recently began using Retina and cannot wax, so needed to try threading. Zadi is conveniently located directly across from my house in Leucadia, so that alone was ideal. When I walked in, Zadi greeted me directly and gave me a huge hug. She took me back right away, and I explained my concerns which she listened to. She began threading and within less than 15 mins. I was ready to go with clean brows. Her sense of humor and down to earth personality was a joy to be around, and I am sure I will continue to see her as long as I am on Retina. : ) read more

I have gotten sugaring done before, so going in I had a small expectation of what to look for. This place blew my mind, not only is it small and cute, but it's right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Encinitas. First of all, Zadi was amazing, I got a Brazilian done and half legs, she has the greatest sense of humor and she made me so comfortable that I wasn't even worried about what was going on. She is very accommodating and wants to make sure you are happy with the service, after my sugaring she had me check it out to make sure I was happy and I couldn't have been more satisfied with the service. Secondly, finding a good place to get sugaring for full legs and full Brazilian is very difficult, especially at a price that won't break the bank. I was so happy with the service and the low prices that I was able to give Zadi a much higher tip and I was very happy with that. I already have my follow up appointment set!!! A+++++++++++++++++++ read more

A consummate professional. Wow! Zadi is the best in the business and always makes my experience comfortable... she is also hilarious and a great person. She will make the process as easy and real as possible. No BS with her. Thank you for being real and amazing!! read more

I just had the most amazing facial by Zadi! My skin feels amazing! I love the location, there's always parking right in front. Her place is charming and clean. Her sweet doggie is so cute and well-behaved. He is a delight! I loved the whole experience. Zadi is kind and funny and puts you at ease right away. I just can't say enough about how much I love this place! Thank you, Zadi read more

Finally went to Zadi today to get my eyebrows threaded and I am so glad I did. I am used to getting my eyebrows threaded and after scouring all of SD for someone to do my brows I found Zadi. My shape is back and she gave me exactly what I wanted. On top of that she gave me a patch test of sugaring on my arm and I decided to get them done, the process was so fast and way less painful than waxing. I had never tried it before and now I'm in love. I recommend Zadi, highly, for eyebrows and sugaring. Best of all I was in and out of there in half an hour! read more

I've lived in San Diego for over two years and have been struggling to find someone who knows their way around a face with a thread..... Enter Zadi! Threading is the only way to control my eyebrows and the cookie cutter salons in the mall just weren't cutting it for me. After one visit with Zadi I was hooked and I was excited that I finally found my "threader!" She is super nice, funny and talented. I live in PB and she is worth the trip up to Encinitas once every other week. I highly recommend her services.. Especially since she's moved into her new space! read more

I had made an appointment about two weeks in advanced and received two text confirmations for 12:45. Left my one year old with my mother and was looking forward to some pampering. When approaching my appointment by car, at about 12:42 I receive a call from who I believe was the receptionist saying that I was late to my 12:30 appointment and that if I want to still come, it would be rushed. I then explained that I was on time and still have 3 minutes until my appointment. The girl was very rude. They made a mistake and blamed me for being late to appointment that I was on time for. Not once an apology. In fact, the receptionist hung up on face at one point. Its ok to make mistakes, but an apology and some politeness can go a long way. Needless to say I never got to come here and because of this treatment, I will never recommend anyone to come here. read more

I am madly in love with this place!! I have had waxing done at several different places, and am now in love with sugaring thanks to Zadi. She is fast, does an amazing job, and makes you feel comfortable within minutes of meeting her! I also had my eye brows threaded for the first time ever, and she did an amazing job! If I trust you with my eye brows.... I would trust you with just about anything! read more

Amazing experience Had my eyebrows threaded for the first time ever Not only is she entertaining but her skills are unmatched. My eyebrows have never looked better. I hadn't had my eyebrows done in 3 years so she definitely had a challenge and when I got home my husband mentioned how nice my eyebrows looked. I'll definitely be back and it'll be the only place I'll be going to! read more

I love Zadi!! This woman is amazing! I have been getting my eyebrows threaded for over 5 years at locations where I lived. I was hoping to find a place when I moved and I was so lucky to find her. Her services are beyond anything I have experienced. She takes so much time sculpting your eyebrows and creating a spa experience. After you visit Sweet Threads you won't go anywhere else! She is the best:) read more

I am so glad I found someone for sugaring and threading in Encinitas! Zadi is very good at what she does; she is accommodating and nice, so there is no reason not to go back, or try her, if you never have. There certainly are places that are less expensive, but if you're like me, you need sugaring vs. waxing and appreciate someone who makes your brow look like perfection, then it's worth it! read more

Seriously the best waxer around. I've gotten waxing done by many places and no one beats Zadi! I have been traveling around the country as well as to Canada ....no one comes close! No tufts left, no pain, fast! Simply the best. read more

I started going to Zadi almost 4 years ago when my husband and I moved to the area. I had tried, very unsuccessfully, to find a new place to go for sugaring but every other place I tried in the area fell very short. After what can be described as one of the worst sugaring experiences I've ever had in my 10+ years of having Brazilians done I was desperate to find someone who couldn't just do sugaring, but was actually skilled in it. At the time I was also early on in my first pregnancy and quickly realized that just because people say they have experience with prenatal clients, doesn't mean they actually do. Then I magically found Zadi! She made me feel so comfortable, she's quick (without brutalizing your skin like one of the previous places I went to off of Encinitas Blvd and the 101), and she knew all the pregnancy precautions to take. Since that first appointment almost four years ago, I've seen Zadi monthly for Brazilian sugaring and brow threading. I couldn't be happier to have found her!! read more

Best brows in town. I'll never go anywhere else. Get ready for a constant stream on complements on your eyebrows. Zadi also does my brazillian sugaring and facials. 5stars for sure. There's even a sunny patio, or cozy eclectic space to hang out while you wait. read more

I've gone all over the place in San Diego looking for my replacement threader after moving. Zadi is amazing! My appointments are short and painless as they should be and my eyebrows are always shaped perfectly! She also uses an online appointment scheduling- very convenient! read more

I could easily write a big long review on how AMAZING Zadi is, But it wouldn't do justice. Zadi is wonderful, talented and more than amazing. She is always accomodating and makes clients feel welcomed and beautiful. Thank you ZADI! IF you are questioning or feel any sort of hesitation, book your appt. And experience the services that she has to offer. read more

I've gone to Zadi a few times to thread my eyebrows and she's really good at it. I have sensitive skin and thick hair so it hurts a bit when I get my eyebrows threaded but She does it so quick it's practically painless and does a great job! read more

Zadi is great, she is so nice and made me feel very relaxed and welcomed even after being 20 min late to my last minute appointment, so glad I came, will def come back again read more

I love Zadi so much. She makes you feel so comfortable and calm no matter what service you are about to get. Her place is conveniently located near a great coffee shop and the beach in Luecadia. I always pre book with her since she has a very committed clientele. Book with her now for your next beauty need and she will make you feel amazing! Her knowledge on rehabilitating bad eyebrows or skin is so helpful and great to know when someone is giving you the real scoop and not just trying to give you a run for your money. GO SEE ZADI! read more

Zadi has magic hands! I always leave with glowing skin and the greatest eyebrows! Highly recommend Sweethread!

Just had my first appointment with Zadi the other day and it will definitely be the first of many. It was the first time that I tried threading (brows) and sugaring (bikini) and all that I can say is Wow! This is one girl that will not be going back to waxing! I love how my brows turned out - and the bikini, oh my, if only I had known about sugaring earlier, it is such a better option than waxing in my opinion!! Zadi takes her time to do a precise job and is also very warm and friendly - the whole experience is quite comfortable, which I'm sure is not the first adjective when you think of hair removal :) I would definitely recommend Zadi & Sweethread!! read more

This is such an amazing place with two very talented Estheticians! Zadi is amazing at threading brows! Also the master at sugaring brazillians/bakinis! Melissa offers one of the best facials I have ever experience! She has magic hands and my skin looks and feels amazing! read more

Zadi is warm and welcoming - made me feel right at home as soon as I walked through the door. I went to her for eyebrow threading but would consider going for bikini or brazilian sugaring since she was so personable and I know I would feel comfortable. She did a great job and it was so easy to schedule - I did it online. So great! I would highly recommend her. read more

ZADI BALOUCH IS GOD SENT!!! I drive half an hour just to see this WONDERFUL WOMAN!!! She is thorough, hilarious and makes me feel like I'm the MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON on EARTH. I love you Zadi!!! See you soon. read more

Zadi is amazing!! I had heard of having my eyebrows threaded, but was skeptical since waxing is all my brows have ever known. So glad I went outside my "box"!! She did an awesome job! I can't quit looking at my brows. Her skills completely changed how my eyes look and with little pain. My husband is going there to have his brows tamed and I know he will look great after she works on them. Definitely recommend her. read more

Zadi is wonderful and a pleasure to work with. She has been doing my sugaring for about a year now and she's great! She just introduced me to eyebrow threading and it's amazing! She did it quickly and painlessly, and knows what she's doing. I will not go back to waxing after this. Thanks Zadi for making me feel comfortable and having a great sense of humor! read more

Zadi did great! I've never gotten my eyebrows threaded and I could never understand the process of it when my mom would explain how it works. Since my eyebrows have never quite had a great defined shape and I've been tired of the constant tweezing, I decided to try Sweethread out based on all the amazing reviews below me. Zadi really knows her stuff. She made the experience painless and effortless and answered all my questions and concerns. Even in these pandemic times, she keeps an amazingly clean area and business and that made me feel safe and comfortable coming in. While I'm not in town for long stretches anymore due to going back and forth between college, I'm sure the next time I'm in need of threading or any other service she offers, I'll be back at her place :) Highly recommend checking her out if you're on the fence between different places. She has very reasonable rates and like mentioned before she really knows her stuff! read more

Zadi is the best, she really cares about what she does and is always very patient with you. She pays close to attention to what your asking for. I won't go anywhere else to get my eyebrows done because I am always very happy with the results. I am so excited to get my facial from her next month, after telling her what my problem is she tailored a skin regime for me to follow that works within my budget! I definitely recommend her! read more

Zadi does a fabulous job with threading and sugaring. She is very calming and believe it or not, she relaxes you. She has a passion for her job. Her prices are reasonable and it's convenient to use her website to set an appointment.Zadi is very good at what she does and am happy that I found her and best of all she's in my neighborhood! read more

Sweethread is located kind of behind another business facing 101 so it took me a little bit to find it. Not complaining though, since I found a yummy Tea shop a block away that served my favorite Thai tea boba! Sweeethread turns out to be this cute little house, very cheerful and nice. Zadi was an absolute doll, so friendly and patient. I went in for the sugaring bikini and she made me feel so at ease. We chatted about things and she has a great sense of humor so it took my mind off the task at hand. The best thing is that, unlike another place I have been to, she doesn't make me feel embarassed for wanting a certain type of waxing (the other place made anything other than a full brazilian seem substandard). Anyway, Zadi did a beautiful job and I am ready to hit the beach! I will definitely be returning; thanks to Yelp for recommending! read more

Like everyone else... I went to Sweethhread for the first time to tame my out of control eyebrows and to test the art of sugaring. Zadi is beyond sweet and funny! She is able to make an uncomfortable situation much less awkward! My eyebrows look better than they ever have and sugaring is much better than regular waxing! She did great and I will definitely be seeing her again! read more
