Do not misunderstand me: Jamila does fantastic work. Her threading skills are unmatched. My brows always come out clean, perfectly shaped, and camera-ready if they ever have to be. If this review were based on skill alone, she'd get five stars hands down. But for the part that makes me write an update and removes me from giving her 5 stars: Jamila cannot stop upselling. Every visit turns into a small negotiation. She'll pitch you every service and skin treatment under the sun even after you've politely declined, most times twice or three times before giving up. She doesn't take a hint, verbal or otherwise. She also tends to "forget" returning clients when it's time to charge. The first-time brow price is $15, and the upkeep price is $13. But if you don't remind her that you are a RETURNING CUSTOMER, she'll happily start from scratch on what you owe her. I shouldn't have to keep track of my own loyalty discount, but here we are. The many times I've visited, to pretend like she doesn't remember me is annoying. Get punch cards or SOMETHING so you'll stop doing this to customers. To be fair, she's not mean-spirited...she's just a relentless hustler. I get it, we're all trying to survive. But there's a fine line between being ambitious and making your clients feel like walking wallets. Your work is good enough to speak for itself. You don't need to chase every dollar. Let your service do the talking. Let clients come to YOU with their needs instead of you pushing off onto them what they should have. No one should feel obligated to pay for services they simply do not want and you pointing out flaws is not the answer. Sorry. Until I find someone as talented (and a little less pushy), I'll keep coming back... but girl, please, just do the work requested and let customers breathe. Four stars. read more

This was my first time in years getting my brows done by a professional, and I had only had them waxed before. I was a walk in appt, and Jamila saw me right away. My brows were threaded and given a great shape in under 10 min with very minimal pain. The process was so much quicker and less uncomfortable than I've ever experienced. The price is great too, I was only charged $15 for cleanup and shaping. Jamila is efficient, precise, and makes sure you're satisfied with your service. She mentioned she's had her salon for over 15 years, and her experience and care really shows. I'll definitely be going to Jamila again. read more

Jamila is not only an incredible eyebrow threading master- she also offers hands on facials with her own skincare line! Today I went in for a threading and she was able to fit me in for an hour long hydrating facial as well. It was such a lovely treat to splurge on my skin after threading. Very hydrating for my skin and very relaxing. I'd recommend going for the full hour hydrating facial. You won't get that level of service anywhere else for the price. In my opinion, her facial is just as good as any spa and it's a fraction of the cost. Her room is always clean, professional and she did a great job. I left feeling like I had done something really good for myself, and even purchased her homemade face wash! Not drying at all and I'm excited to add it to my daily arsenal. Don't hesisitate to reach out! If she can't answer the phone she'll usually text back within minutes. read more

I've been coming to Jamila for several years now for my eyebrow threading needs (since 2014). She offers a variety of services products such as facials and ayurvedic treatments for hair. She makes this great pomegranate facial scrub that just brightens up your skin and provides a nice little exfoliation. Her mini facials are amazing and definitely add on the vitamin C treatment. Jamila is so kind, friendly and knowledgeable - come check her out. You can call/text her or schedule an appointment online or she does allow walk-ins too! read more

I previously went to a medspa for a hydrafacial and decided to try Jamila's as she informed me she recently started offering hydrafacials as well. After my facial, my skin felt so soft and rejuvenated. I will no longer be overpaying for facials at medspa's and will instead see Jamila. She was also well informed about natural skin care and offer reasonably priced products for purchase. Thank you for taking such great of me and my skin read more

It was my first time here and I will definitely be back, Jamila was so kind and does an amazing job when it comes to threading and informing you on how to maintain your eyebrows. You can definitely tell she's good at what she does! If you're looking to get your eyebrows threaded I definitely recommend coming here :) read more

Instead of Iyanla "Fix My Life" it was "Jamila Fix My Brows!!!"...the last time I made the mistake of going somewhere else to get my brows threaded and tinted. And, true to form, she did an absolutely amazing job. And also, I will not make the mistake of going somewhere else again! Jamila is incredibly sweet, and honest. She gives her perspective on how brows can be threaded and have a natural shape (which I personally like), although she is always focused on giving her clients the kind of brow shaping that they want. In addition to her threading and tinting, she has really wonderful skin care products that are all natural. I've been using her Vitamin C serum and get compliments all the time on the luminosity and clarity of my skin. 100% recommend! (BTW, I can post any pics right now because I'm due for an appointment. ...taking care of that right now...). read more

I live in Miami & have been using Henna on my hair for 10 years. Henna saved my hair when it all started falling out 10 years ago. I've been stuck in Texas for the past 3 months due to COVID and my hair was covered in grays. I finally found Jamila and drove an hour to get to her. It was well worth it. Not only does my hair look darker, shinier & healthier than ever, but my eyebrows look GREAT! I may have to start flying to TX to get my hair done! I'm posting before & after pics so you can see the difference. read more

I have been going to Jamila for about a year now for my eyebrows and she is great! She has always done a lovely job shaping and cleaning up my brows. One appointment she added some henna to slightly darken my brows and it was super natural looking. Jamila is always quick to reply to my texts when I need to get in for an appointment and can usually fit me in same day. She is so kind and friendly and at the end of the appointment sprays my face with a lovely rose scented face mist. I would highly recommend her for your threading needs! read more

Threading and Herbal Studio By Jamila - Skin Care Near Me - Austin, Texas

I am so thrilled I found Jamila! I came to her to heal my hair. I am incredibly hair vain. I've always had thick healthy locks. However, last year, I subjected myself to two very aggressive bleach jobs. My hair is now brittle and dry. After attempting hair oils and henna at home on my own, my hair was an uneven color. I decided to seek professional help. Now, my hair is a gorgeous dark brown and shinier than when I went in. I have oils made by Jamila to treat my hair at home. And I finally feel hopeful about restoring my hair health. I very highly recommend Jamila! read more

Where has threading been all of my life? I'd heard of this magical skill but had never had it done... until today. My brows were groucho marx style - errant hair everywhere. They were creeping together and trying to reunite with my hairline. I had this groupon from Jamila but just hadnt gotten around to using it. The groupon was for conditioning, tinting and shaping, i needed those pesky hairs gone quickly. Jamila was so kind -- she let me use my groupon for the other services then threaded my brows -- all while i was taking a surprise conference call. She was so kind and accommodating as I was being basically the rudest customer ever with my headphones in getting jabbered at. That threading thing -- kind of painful but also kind of awesome. This thread whisks around your face, zinging and zipping and apparently ripping out hair. It's totally weird but also totally cool. The whole process took about 10 minutes and I was out the door. She warned me that waxing can lead to droopy eyelids. Apparently you pull that stuff off enough times it will stretch out your skin. 10 minutes + $12 + Jamila's expertise = great brows. read more

I highly recommend Jamila's salon, she is so kind and extremely knowledgeable and skilled at what she does. She is timely and professional, I am so thankful that I found her! Her services are affordable and always done very well. I highly recommend her for eyebrow threading, tinting and for a facial. I trust her so much! read more

she was gentle and quick. made my first experience wonderful, and i will be coming back!

Jamila is professional and friendly and offers some wonderful, natural services! Fantastic eyebrow threading, very natural looking eyebrow tinting, and she also carries the best henna (for hair) that I've ever found! Highly recommend her! read more

Saw the reviews for this place and thought it would be the solution to my problem. I came in here looking for a long term eyebrow lady. Someone who would know what I wanted and would help me achieve that. What I got was someone who rushed me in, rushed me out, and basically thought she knew what I wanted. I tried explaining to her the shape I wanted and the problem I was having. She hardly listened, told me to just sit down, and she ended up threading them exactly the way I didn't want. Now I'm back to square 1 and will continue my search for someone who will pay attention to my issue and help me achieve what I'm wanting out of my brows. Will not return. read more

Jamila took one look at my eyebrows and said "you got a wax 6 to 8 weeks ago right?" She just knew and I didn't want to wax again bc they made them way to small. I'm glad I went to north Austin since on the east side they have many nail salons that do threading but didn't have good reviews. She even showed me how to use brow tint at home with henna capsules that she sells. read more

Jamila saved my eyebrows that got butchered by another salon in Austin and makes them look on point every time! She's very knowledgable on skin care. I've been getting my eyebrows tinted by her as well and they look fabulous! I got a quick papaya facial that made my skin go from tired and dull looking to refreshed and vibrant. I got compliments on my skin for days after receiving one! Thank you, Jamila! :) read more

Came as a walk in after searching through yelp. Jamila took me right in! She did a great job! Was very friendly and great to work with. This will be my new come to place! read more

Jamila is so amazing, I absolutely would recommend her for eyebrow threading. My eyebrows have been previously messed up by so many other threaders and she is the first one that really knows what she's talking about and really focuses on your specific hair growth and what you want. She even gave me a complimentary eyebrow tint, definitely go to her! read more

I just walked in LITERALLY 5 minutes ago and Jamila has hooked my brows up! They haven't been done for about a month and I just relocated from a new state and she tamed these beasts. She's informative and funny and very very good at her job. Come see her! Your brows will thank you!! read more

I came here because of the reviews. Well my mistake! This lady started to do my eyebrows. She gave me a mirror to show it too me and 1/3 of the left one was missing. When I told her, she was saying yes yes. She had no idea of what I was telling her!!!! She asked the owner to come. She finished the right one and said that the mistake was due to the shape of my eyebrows. Well sorry I didn't know that I had to have a special shape of eyebrows to come to this place!!! She started using a black pencil (I have brown eyebrows) and told me that it will grow again!!!!!!!!! I won't recommend this place at all!!!!!! read more

Great job threading my eye brows and upper lip. She was really fast and my eye brows look great now!

Jamila was extremely nice but I wasn't impressed with the shape she gave me. I also had my chin and upper lip threaded, the total was $30. I was a bit shocked as the prices in Houston are a bit more competitive, but I figured that I would be satisfied once I gave myself a good lookin' over. Well I wasn't. Jamila left hair on my chin and on the sides of my lip. I have maybe 8 strands of hair on my chin, total, and a few blonde fuzzies on the sides of my lip and half of the hair on my chin was still there and I could still see a few fuzzies in my rearview mirror. The 2 stars are for her personality and pain-free threading. read more

My review is about eyebrow threading- Jamila is definitely skilled.. But when I specifically told her what I wanted she seemed irked and kept telling me she can't make my eyebrows symmetrical. After she found out another customer had arrived she cut my threading short saying "ok that's it enough for now. See you in 3-4 weeks". If I'm paying you to do a service for me, please don't kick me out of the room before finishing. Side note- older reviews indicate eyebrows are $12 bucks, it's $13 now. read more

Heard about this place from my sister who came home one day with incredible brows. I had to check it out myself. Got my eyebrows threaded & got a complimentary brow tint! So excited to keep coming back here & have Jamila work her magic on my brows! read more

Second time visiting Jamila's eyebrow threading salon, and I have had nothing short of the best experience! Booking an appointment is super easy, she's quick and my brows always look fantastic! I also bought the eyelash serum to remove my mascara and it's worked like magic! All my eye makeup glides off easily! She is super sweet and gentle. I've tried plenty of wax and threading studios and her technique is painless! read more

I love coming here! Jamila is awesome. Eyebrow threading and tinting are fantastic! All the products are all natural and the facilities are nice! It's great to have a private room. The staff is friendly and the service is great! They are personable and very gentle! read more

Jamila's skilled threading has rescued me from skimpy eyebrow hell and elevated me to luscious brow heaven! I love that I can be seen within 10 minutes of waltzing in off the street (how is she not booked ALL THE TIME?). When I first came to Jamila, she notified me that we were "working on a project," aka slowing growing back my effed up patchy eyebrows. I am very happy with our progress on Mission: Brow Growback. Jamila is very friendly and has a great laugh. My favorite part of my last appointment? Jamila stood back and said, "Wow, your eyebrows really look great. I did a great job!" and then erupted into her infectious laugh. I love a woman who exudes joy and takes pride in her work! If you've been skimping on your self-care budget, getting your eyebrows waxed at random places, give yourself the gift of a session with Ms. J (I just made up that nickname. I take no responsibility for what will happen if you call her that.). read more

I just moved to Austin and needed my eyebrows threaded so I checked this place out since it had great reviews online. The threading took 10 minutes and she even offered complimentary tinting :) First time I am ever getting it tinted. It looks super natural! My eyebrows are naturally very uneven and she did a great job evening it out! I will be back again! $15 for threading read more

Back in 2007 or 2008-ish, I moved to Austin from Las Vegas. In Vegas, threading is everywhere. Here?...not so much. After some online searching, I found Jamila and was THRILLED! When I moved back home to Vegas, my go-to gal couldn't even compare anymore. So now that I am living back in Austin, I was again THRILLED to go to Jamila. Now, I can't lie... threading hurts. So does waxing. So does tweezing. But with threading, it's over faster than when waxing or tweezing. And with threading, Jamila can be much more precise than even the most skilled waxer. I want to add something, though... the kind if thread used matters. It does. I'm sure Jamila could tell us why, but some people use thread that doesn't really glide over the skin like it should. Maybe it's cheap? Jamila's thread is great, though. And when you go (AND YOU HAD BETTER GO!), don't lie to her when she asks you if you tweezed. Today, I said "No," because I had been growing them out for her to shape. But she looked at them for a second and was like, "Nuh uh." She showed me how there was a fractional difference from one eyebrow to the other... and she was right! I had totally forgotten that I HAD indeed plucked just a hair or two from one little spot because they were sticking out funny. So she'll know. Don't try and fool the master! ;-) Oh! And she has this sign in the waiting room that says treading your brows is like an "instant facelift." FOR REALS, THO! It changes your whole face. For the better. Please stop trolling yelp and just go see her already! read more

Eyebrow service here was amazing, fixed my thick eybrows and gave me a new look. I really love the service here and the tips for helping to keep my eyebrows healthy and give me a great shape. I would highly recommend this place and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I moved from Austin a few years ago to Dallas and drove back every few weeks just to come here to get my brows threaded. I now live in Hawaii and was visiting my mom in Austin and decided to come in again. Jamila does an amazing job and the salon is very relaxing and smells so natural and homemade. She gave me a complimentary mask that she made herself to even out my pigment and it just feels so fresh. I've also tried the oils she makes for hair and really see a big difference in the texture and strength of my hair. Will definitely be ordering product from Hawaii and will get my brows threaded every time I visit Texas! If you're skeptical about brow threading for the first time, or scared to go to a new place for threading, Jamila is definitely the way to go. She will make the process comfortable and relaxing! read more

Jamila was great! I stopped in first thing in the morning and she saw me immediately. Service was amazing and quick! I will be back for other services. read more

Super fast, excellent service. I usually wait until I go to New York to get my eyebrows threaded and Jamila is as good as expensive New York spas. She kept my eyebrows true to their shape. Not too thin (!!) which was an issue at other Austin places I tried. I will definitely be coming back! The service was a 10/10. read more

Jamila does a great job, my eyebrows always look exactly like I want them to. The service is friendly and fast, everyone should come here for their brows. read more

Definitely recommend this place for eyebrow threading and tinting Jamila did an awesome job!

I had a great experience with Jamila. I called right before I wanted to go to Jamila's to make sure she was available. The whole threading experience was pleasant and fast. After she finished with the threading, she cleaned me up and let me check to make sure I was happy with what she did. I was! She really understands eyebrows and how to best work with what you have and is open to your critiques. I was a little worried about one strand of hair, but she explained that if she plucked it, my eyebrows would look uneven. Talk about detail! I also got my eyebrows tinted for the first time. Jamila said it only tints the hair and lasts for about a week. My eyebrows now look much fuller. I'm glad she suggested it and had an overall great experience! read more
