Kamal used to be my go-to as I was recommended by a few friends, plus she was in the area so it was convenient. Of all the times I visited, she probably took me at my actually appointment time twice. The average time I waited for her was usually 20 mins past my appointment time, even if I arrived 5 mins early. It makes no sense why she double books or just allows anyone to go ahead of you even if you have an appointment. A handful of times, she's not even in her room! I was once stuck waiting 15 mins before leaving. When I got home, I received a text from her asking if I was still coming and why I didn't call her when I didn't see her. I admit it was my fault for not calling, but I was already frustrated (didn't think to check Yelp for her number) and I don't think I have to be the one to remind her she has an appointment?? The last time I went to her was my last, as she made my eyebrows incredibly uneven, one curved and one straight. I went home and cried, especially since I was leaving for a trip a few days later. I haven't returned since. I spent a year regrowing my brows and found a new place since I didn't want to risk her messing them up again read more

I've been going to Kamal for about 15 years now! She is the absolute best. She's professional, friendly, and so skilled at threading brows! Her appointment system online is easy. HIGHLY recommend. read more

i came to kamal for the first time after having many of my friends recommend her! the service was quick and not painful for me and at a very fair price. loved how clean my brows were after! kamal was super sweet and understanding! don't forget your cash!! she's cash only!!! read more

She's amazing and a true master of her craft! I leave her chair feeling so beautiful and my eyebrows marvelous! Plus she's soooo sweet!!

The OG eyebrow threading spot in San Jose. Ive gotten clean eyebrows after I've left 95% of the time. I've only had one bad experience here a couple years back when I was the first customer of the day. I left with some of my skin removed and I was slightly bleeding. Other than that, I recommend Evergreen Threading for guys and girls. Having clean eyebrows gives me a greater sense of confidence; when you look good, you feel good! read more

I have been coming to Kamal for 10+ years for my eyebrows. She's amazing! She listens to how you want it done and she always delivers. Her workspace has two chairs; although I forgot to ask if she has a 2nd person working with her now. Tip: Book online and show up early because when she is booked--she is booked! She doesn't take walk-ins. There is seating inside and there's benches outside as well. read more

Been coming here on and off for a few years and have always had a positive experience. Very reasonably priced. Be sure to make an appointment online before coming. The only thing is that she's always running late. I personally don't mind since I don't usually plan anything after after, however, I can see how someone may be annoyed if they have somewhere else to be. read more

Kamal is very nice and polite and I've been here 4 times already. My constructive feedback: *** She accepts CASH ONLY, so be sure you bring enough for the service/(s) as well as the tip/(s). 1st visit: I decided to give this place a try due to the reviews I read via their Google and Yelp reviews. It also seems to be a very popular threading place in San Jose, CA. I came during my lunch break, and it's only 30min. I didn't think it would take that long, due to the appt time slots all being 10min apart from each other. When I arrived, I didn't realize it was only street parking and that she only lets you inside if there's enough seats in the waiting room. Luckily, I was able to find street parking. It was also a cold and windy day, so I was a little taken aback and very annoyed to have to wait outside. While waiting, I asked the other two girls (who were already there before I arrived) a few questions as it's my first time there. Then Kamal opens the door and the other 2 walk in first. Then I asked one of them about their appt time, and she said it was the EXACT same time as mine. I'm already really annoyed that Kamal double booked. As a first time customer here, I was already really annoyed and pissed. But since I waited so long already and was already late going back to work, I stayed and waited some more! I waited for 25min after my scheduled appt time. She was very busy (the wait room was completely full with about 5 other girls waiting) and somewhat rushed me, despite me telling her it's my first time there. She should've taken more time with me to explain things and to make sure I was comfortable etc. I left not feeling fully satisfied with the service or the quality of her work. I felt my eyebrows looked "meh". 2nd visit: I grew my eye brows out for 2 mos, before coming back to see if the quality would be any different. There was no one else there when I arrived and the shape of my eye brows looked so much nicer than my 1st visit. I think it's because I let it grow out and there was no one there so she took her time with me. Had there been others waiting, I think she would've rushed it like my first visit. 3rd/4th visit: There was also no one there for my 3rd visit. The shape was ok and I wasn't too happy or thrilled because it seems different from my 2nd visit. I felt she made my brows too thin :( But it was already too late to say anything after the damage had already been done. I came back for my 4th visit about 2 weeks later, because I couldn't stand how messy my brows looked only after 2 weeks. She did an ok job and it still wasn't as nice as my second visit here. Overall, Kamal is nice and polite, but she shouldn't double book and maybe should allow more time in between for each appt slot, to avoid people having to wait past their scheduled appt time. And I think, she also needs to be much more consistent with the way she trims and threads eye brows. So this is why I rated it as average 3. I really hope the business continues to improve and not remain so complacent due to its precedence in this city. read more

I held off on writing this because I wanted to give Kamal another chance because I understand things happen but when it occurs twice, it's unprofessional and I cannot justify any reasons on getting my eyebrows threaded here anymore. Last year, I had an appointment and I came on time and knocked but there was no answer. Another girl and I were waiting outside so I ended up calling and then she opened the door, no acknowledgment on why she was a few minutes late. I get it, people have their days so I didn't think anything of it. But most recently I booked for a 1PM appointment and I showed up on time and like deja vu, no answer at the door. I called as well and she did not pick up nor try to reach out. I waited in my car for a couple of minutes as well and decided to leave...and I'm not coming back. As a long time customer, this is very disappointing and I hope that Kamal can learn from this and improve her customer services. read more

Appointments and cash only. $13 for an eyebrow threading. The appointment process is fairly easy but you have to create an account to make the appointment. I would recommend getting there a few minutes before your appointment because you might miss the turn or turn into a neighborhood when getting there. Kamal was very straightforward and asked me how I wanted my brows to be done. She did it pretty quick and I liked the results!! :) The only con that threw me off was that my eyebrow hairs were still all over my face/forehead and she didn't let me know (you can see from my after photo). It felt a little embarrassing for me to walk out with all the eyebrow hairs still on my face. Usually when I get my eyebrows done, they clean my face or let me know that there's stuff on my face. For future clients, I would recommend making sure there isn't hair all over your face before leaving!! read more

Evergreen Threading & Skincare - before & after - Skin Care Near Me - San Jose, California

She's amazing and does a good job. Very reasonable for the price and the service is amazing too. I would highly recommend

Threading was done by a very strong and ambitious woman! We talked about how she was in real estate as well and renewed her license, so if you need property or threading she's got you. She was really nice and patient since I was new to threading & we had a great conversation. Did a great job as long as you make sure to tell her how you like it done etc etc. So if you want anything threaded or waxed come to her :) read more

When I asked my sister where she got her eyebrows done she sent me the link to Evergreen Threading & Skincare. I was initially surprised, as her first threading experience was very painful (in her words) and there was a bit of bleeding, to learn that she has continue to thread her eyebrows after that first experience which I took to be a good sign. I checked out the Yelp link and went ahead and made an appointment through the customer portal (you do you have make an account in order to make an appointment) for the following day. I was running a couple of minutes late as this was my first time to the studio and I missed the location which was fine considering Kamal was wrapping up payment with her previous client. I was next and she had me sit down and was about to get started before speaking to me or even introducing herself which I found a bit off putting and unprofessional. I stopped her and told her I didn't want much arch if at all and showed her a picture and she got right to it. I'll start with the positives, this is only the second threading studio where the individual working on my eyebrows has not had the end of the piece of the thread in their mouths while performing the threading on me which I appreciate (it at least appears more sanitary that way), instead Kamal had the thread around her neck. The threading was also not too painful at all, I didn't tear up this time which can sometimes happen. Unfortunately, the positives end there. I have fairly sparse, fine eyebrows and they turned out very mismatched, uneven and thinner than I would like. Could I have been clearer? Yes. Did I feel rushed, also yes. It's my first time at your studio so this is your one and only shot to make a first impression and this wasn't it. I was just so disappointed in the experience and in the result. Now I have one arched brow and one that gently curves, I wish I hadn't gotten my eyebrows threaded at all. I asked for the arched to the flattened out which Kamal obliged but there is no saving it without thinning out the eyebrow even more. I just have to pray for some speedy eyebrow growth. Here are some suggestions to improve the customer experience, add a few questions to the appointment portal like is this your first threading experience and have you been to this threading stupid before and how would you like you eyebrows to look with the ability to add pictures. That way the customer feel a bit more heard because they've had a chance to prep you and you can have a better grasp of how long the appointment might take and plan accordingly. A new client and someone new to threading might take a little longer because you might want to spend the time introducing yourself, the technique and have a discussion about the expected results just so everyone is on the same page. I didnt expect both my eyebrows to be an exact match but I was hoping for closer than I got. read more

always does such a great job on my eyebrows, great price too. She's always so sweet and never disappoints eyebrows eat every time

I haven't gotten my eyebrows done in San Jose since I've moved away, but I was in dire need of getting threaded and stumbled across this Yelp listing. I was able to make last minute appointment online on the day of. This place is located inside a house in the Evergreen neighborhood, but street parking wasn't an issue at all. I got my eyebrows and lips threaded for $17, which isn't a bad deal compared to some of the other places that I've been to. Kamal was very sweet and understanding, and I feel like out of all the places I've been to, she's the only who hasn't made me tear up significantly while getting my lips threaded. If I'm ever in the area, I'll definitely come back here to get threaded! read more

Because of the quarantine my eyebrow really needed to be tread. After reading reviews thought I should give it a try. And I'm glad I did. It seemed Kamal is usually over booked. I had an appointment at 1 pm and my turn came in at 1:20ish. She was very straightforward on how you want your eyebrows and did an amazing job! The most importantly it was not painful. She did take her time and did very patiently I am definitely going back! Note - She only takes cash and please book an appointment thorough the website provided in Yelp. read more

Came here a few times for eyebrow threading. She usually spends less than 5 mins on your brows and so it's really a hit or miss. This time she took too much hair on one side and made my eyebrows kinda uneven. read more

Evergreen Threading & Skincare - Look uneven - Skin Care Near Me - San Jose, California

I have never written a bad review ever, but I felt like someone out there needs to know! Here are my eyebrows, they were done in literally 3 minutes. Very uneven, messy, and honestly just bad. One eyebrow she spent 2 minutes which is the one that looks more polished. The other one she only spent 1 minute with tons of stray hairs that should have been taken out! Not exactly sure why this place has such great reviews. I'm extremely disappointed and will not be coming back. Not worth the pain or the money! read more

Extremely unprofessional and not timely. Please don't waste your time. My appointment was at 1120am but there were still people waiting that had appointments at 1105, 1110, 1115 and then me at 1120. Kamal was done with the 1100 at 1130am. She said she ran late from a personal appointment and that's why she was behind. However, we all have obligations and I had to pick up my daughter from school at 12pm sharp. So I had to leave. She's barely talented and it's time to find a better location. Would not recommend this place at all! read more

Best of the best! I no longer live in state & every time I come back into town; I make it a point to make it into Kamal's. She makes every appointment seamless & I feel brand new afterwards. I cannot name the amount of unexperienced threaders I've had cut me in Oregon at such a delicate part of your face. Hands down recommend Kamal! She's amazing & her online booking system makes it super simple to book or reschedule. read more

I agree with the some of the more recent comments on how she used to be good but lately she has increased her prices and has become very sloppy. Additionally she does not respect your time. I will always arrive on time for my appointments and 95% of the time there are at least 3-4 people ahead of me still waiting their turn. Regardless of the fact if there's people before me or not I will always have to wait at least 20-30 mins before I am seen. This is not acceptable. If you have nothing better to do with your life go ahead and waste your time waiting for a mediocre outcome. read more

I always go here to get my eyebrows threaded, and only this place. It's super quick and easy and the staffs here are all so nice and patient. read more

I don't trust anyone else with my eyebrows. I've been coming to Kamal for a while and she's always done an amazing job. She's also very friendly to have a conversation with, so every visit is very pleasant! She treats your eyebrows with care and makes sure you like it before you leave the seat. It's run in the room of a house in the Evergreen area, so there's lots of neighborhood parking nearby. **CASH ONLY **Make an appointment! Appointments usually run 10-20 minutes late though, so be aware of that and allocate some time. read more

I desperately needed my brows done one day and needed to find a place that could take me in within the next hour. I always tear up whenever I get my brows threaded even though I've been doing it for years but Kamal gave me the LEAST painful threading experience I've ever had. She was quick and precise, making sure that you walk out with brows you are happy with. My only thing is that the appointment system isn't really effective. The instructions ask clients to arrive 5 mins before their appointment so I did but there were 4 people ahead of me. I wasn't able to get in her chair until 25-30 minutes later. Luckily I had enough time in my day to wait but I would HIGHLY SUGGEST making time to come here just in case there is a line ahead of you. read more

Kamal alway knows how to get my eyebrows feeling brand new! she is booked and busy so make sure you make your appointment online in advance. whenever i come there's usually multiple people waiting inside her studio or in the outdoor seating area so get there early to make sure you get seen during your appt time. she manages her time well and makes sure all her clients are seen in a timely, and high quality manner. definitely my go to for eyebrows in san jose! read more

Made me tear up because my eyebrows were so clean and crisp, but also because it hurt more than my parent's disappointment when they found out i got a tattoo read more

First of all you might miss the business because it's located in a house on Aborn! I definitely missed it and had to make a couple of U turns to get in before my appointment. The location is currently by appointment only - which is a great idea to keep the queues minimal. When I did make an appointment online, it was super streamlined and I was able to book within like 3 minutes. I appreciate that! My only gripe the appointments aren't very spaced out - I believe they were 5 minute slots which is cool with me since I'm flexible with my hours, but you may want to block off an additional 10 minutes or so even if you're on time in case the appointment prior to you overflows into yours. Kamal is super chill though, and I'll be returning since it's so local! Note that the business is cash only as well. read more

After over a year of refusing to go back to see Kamal due to her constant overbooking, my crazy quarantined eyebrows got the best of me and so I caved and booked again. Kamal is truly the best in the business. She just knows brows and can make my shapeless, thin bushy brows into Supermodel status. Amazing work. Go see her guys through these difficult times. She sees only one client at a time in her work station and has set up a waiting area outside. She sanitizes after each client. I feel like a little bit of myself is back--Eugene Levy brows no more, errrr k! read more

The only spot I trust my brows with. Kamal does an amazing job and I have never been disappointed. I tried going to another spot because I needed my brows done asap and wasn't able to book an appointment with Kamal. My brows ended up uneven and didn't have the same touch as Kamal. read more

Kamal is still my GO-TO for eyebrow threading in the area, but I just HATE having to spend an hour here every visit because the appointment scheduling is horrible! I've tried coming with the earliest, or the latest appointment but I can never be in the chair at my appointment time, and out in a jiffy. I've even come 15-20 mins earlier for my appointments. When you take a look at the scheduling times, they're 5 mins apart from one another. She needs to have more time in between for a buffer, especially to give herself some time to transition between customers, or for them stragglers. What upsets me most is when there are people coming in late for their appointments, they're still seen in order...Ummmmmmmmm...Idk about that. They need to either be pushed if there are any other available appointments or not seen at all. It's incredibly inconsiderate for those who actually make it to their scheduled appointment time. I understand that she's extremely sought out for a threading specialist in San Jose, but it is just RIDIC. The appointment system needs to be better implemented. Anyway, be sure to have a charged phone and give yourself time to wait even with an appointment... read more

I found out about Evergreen Threading through a family member. About two years ago I decided to try this place out. Kamal is so sweet and I make sure to only request her. She always asks how I want my eyebrows and does exactly that. She takes her time so I know she does a great job. I have never left feeling disappointed and I only trust her with my eyebrows. It is appointment only. Booking an appointment is super easy. All you do is go to the website https://evt.setmore.com and you select which service you want. It shows you exactly what days and times are available. It is $8 for eyebrows Tuesday-Thursday and $10 on Fridays and Saturdays. They are closed Sunday and Monday. They also accept cash only so make sure you have cash. Sometimes you do have to wait a little bit longer than your original appointment time but it is typically never more than 15-20 minutes. It is inside her house so there is street parking only. I have never had a problem finding a spot to park. This is the only place I will go to for my eyebrows! read more

Tuesday 4/3/18 @4:30pm This is my second time here and it was great. The first time was okay, because Kamal threaded my brows a little too arched, so it made me look more intimidating. Not saying that it wasn't nice, it was just nice to my liking. 7/10 However, I gave this place another chance and asked her to thread the top of my brows a bit to make it look smoother. It came out wonderful. Lovely. I keep looking at myself in the mirror because god I love them. 100000/10 Tipped $5. Kamal: 9/10 Y'all know imma come back for dem fleek brows read more

I've been going to Kamal for many, many years and she's great! Threading is always on point. Unfortunately, she always runs behind schedule so usually I'm not seen from a range of 10 to 30 minutes after my appointment time. I usually come on my lunch break so it can be stressful to manage my schedule when she runs that late :(. Otherwise, 5 stars! Cash only. read more

Quick and easy! You can make an appointment online or call them to book one. I came here for eyebrow threading and it was $8. Starting January 26, 2018, the price will go up to $10 on Fridays and Saturdays but remain at $8 the other days. Cash only. The house is on Aborn and there's a sign in front that says "Evergreen Threading & Skincare" in bold black letters so you won't miss it. Parking can be hard since it's street parking. Enter through the door on the left once you reach the porch. Kamal did my brows and I was satisfied with the result. They'll ask you how you like your brows before they start. I was in and out within 10-15 minutes or so. They have a steady flow of clients. There were two when I came and when I left, three more people came in. Overall, I think I found my new go-to place! read more

I've been here once before covid and have been meaning to come back when it finally re-opened because of how well Kamal threaded my eyebrows before. I finally scheduled an appointment and came in! Scheduling an appointment was super simple, just go on her website to schedule one that works for you. I'm going to dock off a star though, because when I came in there were ladies that came to visit her right before my appointment so I had to wait past my appointment time. Also, there was a huge bump in her prices post-covid. I remembered paying $8 pre-covid for eyebrows but now she's charging $12 so with tip I ended up paying $15. Besides the price, my eyebrows did come out even and nicely cleaned. No irritation or cuts like other eyebrow threading places I've been to. I'll definitely will be back here! read more

Come here & be blessed by Kamal's hands! Eyebrows will always be on fleek! Definitely book an appointment because she's very popular, especially on a Saturday! Although you have an appointment, be prepared to wait a little. There can sometimes be a backlog. But that's okay, it's worth the wait. I really have no complaints about her. She's amazing! Note: Cash only. read more

This eyebrow threading salon is IN KAMAL'S HOUSE. A yellow house! Haha. Kamal is amazing at what she does. She asked whether I'd like it thinned out or to keep them thick. She didn't follow my request to keep only clean it up first, hence the missing 5th star. However, my brows have never looked better! Definitely coming back! read more

I really wanted to love this place. I've never been threaded before so maybe that's why I'm not giving 5 stars. I have nothing to compare to. I was on time and had to wait about 10 minutes which I expected after reading other reviews. The daughter did my lip and was really aggressive but she did a good job. Kamal started on my eyebrows after and I did tell her that I wanted them thicker and natural looking. She was super sweet and gentler than her daughter but it still hurt which I expected. She also went back to my lip and cleaned that up a little more. I thought they took card but they don't so I had to run to the ATM down the street. It was cheap so that was nice. At a first glance I loved my brows but after I looked at them longer I think they are too thin. The right is definitely thinner than the left. She cleaned up the tops and tails of them very nicely which is what I needed but I think she took too much off of the bottom arch. Maybe this is because I've had natural never touched brows all my life and I'm not used to it? I'll see how the grow out and then decide if I want to go back or not. Great service, quick, and very polite, just not sure if it's for me. read more

This is usually my go to place for eyebrow threading! It's cheap and usually pretty consistent. If you go on Tuesdays or Thursdays it only costs $8! I think other days, it is $10. They do all sorts of threading too! But it usually makes me cry too much so I stick with the eyebrows... I'm a wimp LOL. You can book appointments online, but they usually run a little late so give yourself at least 20 mins to get yours brows done and potentially wait for others. I do wish they were better with timing. Still, I value the service and think that Kamal and her team do a good job. Parking is on a busy street so it might be hard during busier hours. If there's a spot on the driveway I usually take that. Not sure if that's allowed or not though. Her workspace is within a home, so it might be disguised at first for new comers! read more

7 years later and Kamal is still amazing. Business must be booming because she's by appointment only now. I moved out of state and can't find anyone who does my brows as nice as Kamal does so whenever I'm in town, I try to stop by and get my brows on point. read more
