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.

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!

I definitely recommend anyone who seeks services of this type.

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.

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!
