No one does it better than Kamala! The place is clean and usually not too busy. She's quick, usually no more than five to ten mins for eyebrows. She makes adjustments with scissors and provides aloe so that you look good right after! Note that Kamala does prefer cash in general. read more

Kamala's Threading - Threading of eyebrows - Threading Services Near Me - Berkeley, California

Absolutely Not. Never Again. I told the esthetician before she started that my upper lip is super sensitive. She nodded and claimed she understood--then double waxed me anyway. When I questioned it, she confidently assured me that since she wasn't applying a "new layer" of wax, it would be fine. Spoiler: it was not fine. Now the skin above my lip is red, raised, inflamed, and painful. When I pointed it out, she was in complete denial and tried to brush it off like I was overreacting--even though it looked visibly irritated. I left the appointment more upset and anxious than when I walked in. This was incompetent, dismissive, and borderline dangerous. Save your money, your skin, and your peace of mind and go literally anywhere else. This place is TRASH. read more

Kamala's Threading - Completely unprofessional. I shouldn't have had to pay for this. Poor business ethics - Threading Services Near Me - Berkeley, California

Amazing lady and quality service. She is detail oriented and understands yours needs very well. It's very busy most of the time.

Update. I still see Kamala for my eyebrows and she's still doing a great job. Prices have gone up, with eyebrow being $15 now, and they continually do go up. Parking is so hard, but thankfully Trader Joe's is across the street. She's kind, quick and does a good job. Overall, a no frills spot that cleans up those brows nice! read more

Kind of rude, subpar service, but gets the job done. Could be more meticulous. Does a very Middle Eastern style brow and doesn't follow references well. Dismissive and somewhat inattentive. Pretty inconsistent results - sometimes sloppy sometimes cleaner. Have a feeling she profiles customers and allocates effort according to how polished you look that day / whether there are people in line after you. Unprofessional and takes offense / attitude if you ask for a slight edit. Gets sloppier if she thinks you'll be a repeat customer / return. read more

My go to! Parking is tough, but it's worth it. I get my eyebrows threaded and she slays. I've been going to her for the past few years!

Haven't gotten anything threaded before, but had a friend suggest this business and I've been going here ever since! Kamala is great with booking appointments if you have a specific day/time you're looking for, but she's also accommodating to walk-ins as she does her job quick and well. I've gotten my eyebrows, upper lip, and chin threaded by her for a nice clean look. It hurts a little bit, but the pain is worthwhile to not have to shave for a while longer and a cleaner look instead of hair stumps left behind. Also very calm and gentle with telling you which part which needs a better look at or for you to hold onto as she threads. Also puts on a really nice cream afterward to soothe the pain and help with the recovery. Very skilled at what she does and doesn't charge too much for her services read more

Absolutely awful service! My eyebrows are uneven! I will never be returning to this place. I had gone here once before and my service was good, but I believe it's because the person who did my eyebrows may be new. Regardless, my eyebrows are done terrible. read more

Kamala's doesn't miss! The skill, consistent quality of service, and shop cleanliness is unmatched in the area. There are some days I don't even have to say more than "Hi, how are you" and she always gives me amazing brows! Never too thin or misshapen, always perfect. Although she may be soft-spoken, she is mighty with the thread and will not disappoint (: read more

Kamala is my go to for eyebrow threading. Prices did go up but she's too good so I don't really mind. She's always so quick and precise. I only ask for a clean up and she never over does it unlike other salons so I will forever be returning. read more

I felt a lot more pain than usual after getting my chin threaded. I even tipped generously until I came to the car and felt stinging pains continue. Turned out she had cut me in several places on my chin. Worst experience from a salon considering I have been getting my brows threaded for years. So disappointing. read more

Kamala's Threading - Cuts on chin after threading - Threading Services Near Me - Berkeley, California

Very clean and convenient place located across from Trade Joe's. I found Kamala's based on Yelp reviews. My experience was very positive. There was only one person in front of me on a weekday around 4pm. I walked in because I didn't see a way to make an appointment online; this didn't seem like an issue at all. My eyebrows look way better than other places I've been where I've sometimes paid more than triple Kamala's price. She was very warm and gentle, and I can see why she has so many loyal customers! As a heads up, there's a 99 cent fee if you pay with your credit card (but there are signs about this around the store, so it shouldn't come as a surprise). read more

Kamala's Threading - Services (November 2023) - Threading Services Near Me - Berkeley, California

Always amazing!! My go to place. My eyebrows always look amazing afterwards and they're so efficient -- I'm often in and out within 15 minutes. I recommend! read more

Kamala is the only person I currently trust with my brows! Her salon is located really conveniently on MLK and University. She knows exactly how to shape my brows to compliment my face, I always leave here feeling so confident! She is super sweet and works pretty quickly. Sometimes there is a wait but it's never too long. She does finish with some aloe vera gel and gives a nice temple massage which I love. read more

She is very inconsistent. Depending on her mood of the day I realised is how she does your brows. I specifically tell her to not take off a lot and go into detail to please do a very light clean up. She made on eyebrow so thin and it hurt so bad because she ripped off a big chunk. I was very upset when I seen my brows cause 1. they were so thin and one was soo thick. Once I complained about them she just apologised and didn't seem to care. I 100% don't recommend coming here if you want inconsistency. And $15 for eyebrows is pretty crazy (and she expects a tip btw) read more

Kamala is professional, skilled at what she does and delivers consistent great results! I also get my eyebrows tinted with her and it comes out natural and beautiful. I've been getting so many compliments on my eyebrows lately thanks to Kamala :) read more

Kamala is amazing! She's calm, kind, quick, and gentle--everything you could want in an eyebrow threading expert. Every time she works on my brows, they turn out perfectly shaped, even, and natural-looking. Her precision and skill are unmatched, and she always makes the process feel easy and pain-free. You can tell she really cares about delivering great results, and I always leave happy. NOTE: Unfortunately, my experience on a Sunday (when Kamala wasn't there) didn't meet the same high standard. The person working that day made my brows uneven--one was thinner than the other, and the arches didn't match. To make matters worse, the shop wasn't even open when I arrived, and there was no signage explaining the delay. I almost left, but I called Kamala, and she kindly picked up to explain that it was her day off. Her quick response shows how much she values her customers. I'll definitely make sure to visit when Kamala is working from now on. If you're looking for precise, consistent, and gentle threading, she's the one to go to! Highly recommend booking with her directly. read more

amazing! Love it! . I only come here. Everyone else leaves my chin cut up. And on top of that, she does such a great job. She never does too many of my eyebrows. She does it just write, gentle, she listens to me. When I go other places they don't listen to you, and they sometimes even drop blood. Not her. Also, I love that she is a woman owned business and it's the actual owner that is taking care of you every time not just a worker. I can't give her a better review. If I could, I would give her six stars! Thank you so much for all your hard work and leaving us beautiful. I've been coming here for years. I don't go anywhere else. read more

I have been coming to Kamalas place since she opened up. I just come once a month for a full-face treatment. I appreciate her kindness every visit. My face feels great, and my eyebrows look amazing. When you come, bring a friend with you to enjoy a threading experience. Cheers until next time read more

Kamala is so gentle and fast! The entire threading experience was painless and she kept my eyebrows thick like I asked. She really knows how to shape brows to flatter your facial features. I did not have any redness or irritation afterwards thanks to her light hand and the cooling cream she applied after threading. The place is very clean and all services are reasonably priced. She keeps her mask on while threading and the main door open which allows for good ventilation. Bring cash as there is an extra charge for using your card. Thank you, Kamala! I will definitely be back :) read more

I went to Kamala when she first opened. The threader that I used before had quit the business. After Kamala threaded my brows it hurt my skin and following that my hairs grew back with bumps. I have stopped using threading because of her. I live in Berkeley and I have to pass her shop and when I do I cringe. read more

Quality service, lovely experience with the kind Kamala. She takes her time and gives quality results. I grew my eyebrows for months and told her I wanted her to shape it but to keep the thickness. She did her magic. Highly recommend! She told me her story of how she grew her small business over time so the low reviews below make me sad for her as it's not a reflection of her work but others at her shop. I loved the work so much, I brought my mom the next day. She's excellent at what she does and can definitely charge more! read more

Kamala's Threading - My results - Threading Services Near Me - Berkeley, California

Ooo, I think I found another good eyebrow threader! I came across Kamala's Threading based on her reviews and pricing. I called into make an appointment. When I arrived, there was a person ahead of me. I didn't have to wait long at all. During my time to get my eyebrows threaded, I informed Kamala that I wanted "clean up, not too thin, and a bit of shaping". She proceed to threaded my brow. If you had your eyebrows threaded before, it's the same kind of "pain". I wouldn't say it hurt a lot more nor did it hurt a lot less. I did feel like she took her time to make sure my eyebrows were even and cleaned up. Overall, I enjoyed my quick experience and will be back here in the future. read more

She is kind Place is clean She is alone which I like because she is focused and not talking to a co worker like most threaders She went over each brow three times. She didn't rush I did a walk in Same price as any other threader read more

Kamala is the best at threading brows! I always come here and I highly recommend visiting her! Kamala is very gentle & the process never hurts. I have pretty sparse, light brows, but she always shapes them up perfectly. read more

Nov 2020 - She is now OPEN!! I was referred to Kamala by a friend. Let me just say that after she did my brows, I felt like a new woman!! Haha. Seriously though, she's very good at what she does - shapes your brows in a way that follows your brows' natural curvature and looks very natural. She also charges a very affordable price, so I'll be coming back again :) read more

Kamala's Threading - Love it!! - Threading Services Near Me - Berkeley, California

I recently got an eyebrow threading service and couldn't be happier! I've been searching for a place to clean up my brows for a while, and I'm truly impressed. Kamala is wonderful--highly recommended! read more

Update!! Still in love with Kamala's Threading but realized I wrote "I'll never go back!" - what I meant was I'll never go back to WAXING!!! I've had bad experiences with waxing in the past, my eyebrows will break out and it's just not a good look. So glad I found Kamala :) read more

Both times I've been in were perfect. No wait time.. exceptional service and parking was seamless! And THEY LISTEN to you.

Came here on a Sunday and got Kamala's sister. Kind of rude and does not speak good English (I am Indian too and had trouble communicating with her). Eyebrow shape came out undesirable. Won't be going back. She got rid of the arch in my eyebrows and they look flat..... do not recommend. Will not be returning (at least not for Kamala's sister!) I saw another review not to use her sister (I also came in on a Sunday) but figured maybe they were being picky and I wanted to take a chance on her. Well I regret doing it, and wish I had paid attention to the other review on here.... read more

I've been a regular at Kamala's and she does a fantastic job and provides excellent customer service. However, recently her sister took on manning the shop at certain times (Sunday morning for example) and both the quality of threading and customer service has deteriorated. She missed some small fine hairs and when I pointed that out, she was extremely rude to me. She tried to do a redo and I tried to point exactly where the issue was and she got extremely upset. I like Kamala but this recent experience makes me not want to come back. read more

Kamala's Threading - Eyebrows not threaded properly. - Threading Services Near Me - Berkeley, California

Super quick service! I walked in and was seated right away. I only got my upper lip done, so that's a lot harder to mess up, but they really did a great job. There was an extra charge for paying with card, so would recommend bringing cash. read more

Fast, thorough, great threading!! Got a cute pair of earrings, and had a nice aloe massage after for my poor lil sensitive skin. Great service!! read more

So glad I came here! I was in the area and decided to get my eyebrows threaded here and I am very happy with how my eyebrows came out! I waited only a few minutes and she was super quick with no pain at all. I'll definitely come back! read more

Also, the face massage at the end was so refreshing. Honestly, we need to hell her stay open so everyone, go to her and get a baby soft face. Makeup stays on so much smoother and better with a threaded full face rather than just eyebrows and upper lip. She does the best job on noses too. read more

My eyebrows were clearly uneven and i was charged 15 when online it says 12, then i didn't tip and she asked for tip, to make it 19. overpriced and painful compared to the other places ive been. read more

Quality of her service was really poor - Kamala only took a few mins and then said we were done. When I looked in the mirror there were lots of hairs still remaining. Go to Brow by the Bay - they're much better for the same price. read more

I was hesitant to try a new place besides my usual but being in college I need good brows during the year too. Kamala was amazing, she threaded my brows to perfection just the way i like, keeping my natural shape and cleaning it up. Her prices are fantastic and she was really covid safe. I'm super happy with her work and will be coming back throughout the year! read more

I get really nervous getting my eyebrows threaded because they don't always turn out the way I want them to, but when I got them done at Kamala's she did exactly what I was looking for. I like to keep my eyebrows looking bushy but clean and she did just that. I am definitely coming again! read more
