    Reviews With Photos - Kamala's Threading

    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.

    Cuts on chin after threading

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    I have always been extremely particular about my eyebrows. Before moving to the States, I saw a…read moreprofessional wax aesthetician every month, so when I arrived here, my first mission was to find a brow artist who could truly rival the one I had in Beijing, and Anita did exactly that. I've now had my brows done by Anita three times, all with threading (I was curious to try something new instead of my usual waxing). Her technique is consistently impressive. She shapes my brows in a way that feels clean, refined, and very natural for my face. Plus, the shape consistently lasts for about a month before needing a touch-up. On top of her skill, Anita is also incredibly warm and kind. She finishes the service with a soft, soothing massage, and the vibe in the salon is calm and relaxing too. If you're someone who has high standards for your brows, you really won't regret coming to see Anita.

    I highly recommend Anita to take care of your brows, especially if, like me, you've never had your…read moreeyebrows done professionally. She is sweet, professional, and meticulous, with over a decade of experience, and she consults with you every step of the way to ensure you're comfortable with the process and results. I've always worried about symmetry, shape and visibility of my blonde brows, and the discussion of "eyebrow blindness" on social media really pushed me to see a professional. I researched several highly rated eyebrow shaping salons, but many had a common theme: while some staff members were praised, high turnover made the results unpredictable. I chose Anita because she's the owner and the only one handling the work. I first contacted Anita to let her know I had no idea what services I needed (Wax? Threading? Tinting? Lamination?) but she said I could just book an appointment and she could change services if needed once we discussed in person. I was nervous about going to someone for the first time, but Anita listened to my concerns and put me at ease. She recommended keeping my fullness, explained she wouldn't go too thin, and I was confident she knew what she was doing. She recommended starting with the basics, and explained that lamination might be unnecessary. She suggested waxing for initial shaping, followed by threading for precision, and a light tint to define my brows without going too dark. Throughout, she worked carefully in cycles, letting me inspect the progress, comparing to before photos, and meticulously refining the shape until it was perfect. Waxing was not as painful as I expected, and she applied soothing aloe after. Threading was not at all painful. Waxing made my skin a bit red for a while afterwards, but I was going directly home afterwards so it didn't matter to me. I was nervous about tinting, but Anita explained the process, ensuring the shade wouldn't be too bold and said she could keep wiping to lighten if necessary. She said it would continue to fade and only lasts about 12 days, so I wasn't worried about a commitment if I didn't end up liking it. After the reveal, it initially seemed darker than I expected, and she offered to lighten, but after she showed me the before-and-after photos, I realized it was only a subtle change and I just wasn't used to it. The entire session, including tinting, took about 45 minutes and cost $60 ($40 for initial shaping and $20 tint), very reasonable cost for such personalized care. I've already received a bunch of complements on my brows, and am very happy with them. Anita's office is quiet and cozy, tucked inside an office complex (Salon Republic), and she plays soothing music while she works. For initial shaping or just need periodic upkeep, Anita will be my go-to for brows. And she also offers other services, like full body waxing.
