i've been going here for less than a year, probably. i go because it's cheaper than my usual lady (her salon is in her house), and no appointment is needed. all the ladies who are "qualified to thread" have threaded me, and i have never had a bad experience. yea, of course it hurts - you're having hair being pulled out of sensitive areas on your face ! i haven't had much experience with their other services, i think i'll stick with my other lady for that. although she requires appointments, sometimes a couple of weeks in advances, she really takes her time, cares about how you feel about her work/how it looks, and cares about you as a person. total personal touch. back to this khoobsurat, i believe they charge you 50 cents for using plastic to pay. and also, check yourself yourself for threads that want to leave with you; i've seen many ladies walk out the door with long pieces of thread sticking to them. say something to them if you see it, it's embarrassing, ha! also - if you've never had threading done before, mention that to your lady. otherwise, they expect you to know exactly what to do next! read more

this place sucks.. their customer service is the worst..I would give zero starts if I could. They don't care if people come back or not since they are the only Indian beauty salon in Bothell area .If you are near Bellevue, Redmond or Seattle, there are way better places there. I have done threading and waxing here several times and both below par. I agree with the other reviewers though that the owner ( She used to be around initially when they opened up) does pretty good threading. read more

This place is great! I've been going here for about 4-5 months now. My sister and I go to get our eyebrows threaded. Plus you can't beat $7! Fast, efficient, and inexpensive. Just the way I like it ;) read more

This place is dirty, super rude and do a crappy job. When you walk in don't ever expect a hello or even acknowledgement that you walked through their doors. I have tried this place a few times in hopes that they would do a better job, but that never happened. They always threaded my eyebrows super thin so I looked like cheap hooker on 99. read more

My friend recommended this place and I'm definitely thankful! The service and the ladies there are great! They are also quick, I can rely on that even when I'm in a hurry! I love this place and recommend it to everyone! read more

Went in for my first time to get a brow threading and was in and out in record time! Low on chit chat but fast and you can't beat the price! Will be back for sure! read more

I have been coming here for over 3 years and the staff is yet to disappoint me! I come in once a month for eyebrow threading and after I get them done I get compliments for weeks on how nice my eyebrows look! My cousin came here 3 years ago for her bridal henna and it was gorgeous! They do a great job and you feel at home here. $10 for eyebrows and upper lip threading. read more

Even though I have to drive half an hour to get here, it's worth it. I come for both threading and waxing and find their work to be nice especially for the price. read more

Sad to say after I went in for a pedicure/manicure I was VERY DISAPPOINTED. They lady that worked on the manicure was different from the Indian lady who does teh threading..this one had quite an unleasant manner to start off and did a very shoddy job on my finger nails.. .barely any time spent on them massaging...she squeezed my aram a fe times and was done. Then I told her to shape my nails and keep them long and she nodded but,I don't think she quite understood...she filed them all short!!! I was bleeding by the time she was done with my cuticles and she got irritated when I wasn't sure abt what color nail paint I wanted. The girl who did the pedicure was more pleasant but, learning on the job...again very disappointed..barely any scrub or massage even after I asked her to. When I was done she didnt want me to wait & dry my nails..she wanted me to come up to the desk and pay right away while she peered over my shoulder while I added the tip!!!! I left really irritated and my wet nail paint had smudges on them too! GOOD FOR THREADING..not anything else. read more

I had to let my eyebrows grow out because the last place I went waxed them without shape and much too thin. I went on a weeknight after work and there was a short line, but the women were very friendly. Not only did they shape my eyebrows perfectly, but they took their time and made kind small talk. The price is unbelievable and you get more than what you pay for. I will only be going here for my eyebrows and will recommend to all I know. read more

Pathetic service and very rude customer service. Horrible experience. Waste of money and time. I would highly recommend not visiting this Indian lady. Highly unprofessional and they should attend basic classes for etiquettes and mannerisms .. they won't offer you small mirror to see the damage they have done to your face. In my opinion least they they can do is smile and say hello when someone enters their store. read more

I recently moved to the area. Before moving I had a place that I went to religiously to get my eyebrows threaded. I hate waxing, it never gives me that results I want and hurts like hell. One of my worries about moving aling with a new dentist, and hair stylist, was where I was going to go for my eyebrows! I was driving around one day and my prayers were answered! I saw this place and made a point to go in the next day. My eyebrows look amazing :-) I have different places I go for different beauty services and this is now the only place I will allow to touch my brows. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because while assisting the client before me the womans cell phone rang and she chatted away the remainer of the time with the client. She held the phone in her neck and threaded away. I just don't think this was an example of customer service. read more

It was my first time to get threaded and damn it hurts! But it is completely sanitary, and I had no skin reaction what so ever... So cheap! My savvy city cousin makes the trek up here from Seattle to get threaded because it is 4x less than Seattle and the women doing it has a lot more experience. I will be back and hopefully it will hurt less. FYI it gets real busy so it is best if you go during a weekday read more

The people here are quite rude and the customer service is pathetic. They are in a hurry to finish their work. I come here for eyebrows and many times they do not do it nicely. Would definitely not recommend this place to anyone. read more

A little heavy handed but gets the job done. Very spacious.

The women who run this store are friendly and helpful, and flexible -- i asked to buy just 1/4 of a stack of thin bangles, and they were happy to oblige and gave me an insanely reasonable price! They do alterations and will sew a custom choli (short fitted blouse) to match your sari purchase; I brought in some vintage sarees and they were happy to help me alter them. The sister salon next door does eyebrow threading and mehndi/mehendi (henna tattoos) - two services that are hard to find here in Seattle. I bought a cone of henna so I could try applying mehndi myself at home. read more

Review for eyebrow threading. Recently moved to Bothell and wanted to try this place since it was so close to me. Stopped in the morning, she sat me down and got right to work. It was very quick and I was satisfied. Will come again! read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! The price seemed to change every time I got my eyebrows threaded, getting more expensive with each trip, the employees always adding extra fees saying that I had too much hair on my face or too little so they were charging me more whenever I questioned the price. They are always so rude and do not care for their performance quality I always came home with cuts that stayed there for days. The whole atmosphere is cheap and dirty and I was paying too much for bad quality service. I'm not spending money places where I'm being disrespected. read more

Extremely rude customer service ! There's one lady who is good at threading while others are very very bad. One of the ladies did such a bad job that I was bleeding and had a scar near my eyes (the day before I had s photoshoot scheduled ). It took two weeks for the scar to go away. The worst part was she didn't even apologize!!! Never setting foot in this place again. The low prices aren't worth it. read more

I thought it was a pretty good experience! They did a good job threading, and did what I asked them to do. I'm also new to Washington, and this place was the cheapest I could find around me (all the other ones were three times as expensive). I only waited for a few minutes. It wasn't as though they were waiting on me hand and foot, but they were kind and respectful. read more

Pathetic downmarket cheap place , Hate their service . These guys donot know the meaning of customer satisfaction or importance of customer in any business. I wish I would had read Tien T. reviews on yelp before going to this wired place. read more

I have been their regular customer since the year the salon opened in Bothell.The owner is a very sweet woman with good customer service skills.She welcomes you with a smile and a greeting. But like all good things must come to an end, I have not seen the owner in a while.Instead, you meet the other employees of the salon.There is no smile nor a welcome greeting from them when you enter the salon. I wish they were given a little training in customer service. As for the service, that is a sad story as well. There have been so many times when I have had tears rolling down my eyes( for threading and upper lip).I have had the skin pulled off along with the hair on my eyebrow, only to find myself bleeding .Every time I go there, I tell those two girls that I have very sensitive skin and I may need a little TLC, but to no avail. I know beauty comes at a cost and for the price they charge ($10) for eyebrows and upper lip, I think it is a classic case of 'You get what you pay for'. I am hoping that someday sooner, I get to see the owner back at the salon.Until then, my quest for a salon closer to where I live will continue and I will keep returning back to those employees to get my services done. read more

I have been going here for around 2 years and it is a great place for threading. fast and inexpensive. Very good job. I also go for haircuts. One particular person does a real good job, dont remember her name. Its a long drive there, but I still go. One thing about the place is they need to be better at customer relationship. They are usually good, but one time I took an appointment for a haircut, but due to bad weather, I could not keep my appointment. we were on the freeway, such heavy rain that we could not see ahead, no visibility, almost had an accident ! So left with no choice, I decided to reschedule. I called up from my car to apologize for the inconvenience, but instead I got myself a scolding from the lady there that I had lost her another customer since I had called 5 mins after my scheduled appointment time. No manners at all, specially when I am an old customer. Other wise the service is pretty good ! A better relationship management would take them a long way to get new customers as well retain existing ones... read more

Worst HairCut i ever had. I had long hair and wanted to have a U cut so that i have all the splits go aways. But the lady cut whole of my hair in an unshaped manner. I will not recommend anyone to go in for an hair cut. I had the worst experience of my life :(. i would have given a -ve rating if that could have been possible. read more

I went to Khoobsurat today for waxing, I called them earlier and made an appointment. When I reached the place, there was nobody in the reception area. There was a woman sitting beside the pedicure area with her kid (I guess she works there), she did not acknowledge me. Her kid saw me waiting and went in to fetch somebody. The lady who came out took her time to greet me as she was busy checking her reflection in the mirror. I was then directed to the waxing room and the another person came to do the service. She would not give me more than a few seconds to change my clothes, kept constantly knocking on my door in spite of me saying I needed a couple of minutes. And the robe they gave me to change into, had SO MANY strands of hair, obviously from the previous customers. And once in, she left the door wide open, just drawing across a flimsy curtain. When I asked her if she can close the door for my privacy, she said she cannot as the room will get too hot. She was trying to get the job done very quickly as she had other customers waiting outside (apparently she was the only one attending to everyone). She hit me on the face twice when she pulled the waxing sheet off my arm (because she was trying to do it fast) and DID NOT bother to apologize. Once she finished with my arms, I requested for a small mirror to check the back of my arms for hair and she said I should just check in the mirror that was wall mounted (and I knew they had those small mirrors just outside the room). Once she proceeded to wax my legs, I was told to put my leg up on the table and I did. Apparently I did not do it right, because she asked me if it was my first time there, gave a snort and asked me to lie down instead. When she was done, I could still see hair on my arms and legs. She got VERY impatient with me when I pointed out the areas and requested that she complete it properly. Usually after waxing, they are supposed to wipe all the areas that were waxed with a warm moist cloth to remove the residue wax off, because obviously you cannot go around with wax on your arms and legs. She did not do that and left the room quickly telling me to change (before I could check fully for more hair). I reached the reception and inquired the lady (the one who "welcomed" me) if they don't usually remove the residue wax off and she said "No, we don't do it". I had to cone home straight to take a shower and I don't know what brand of wax they used because it wouldn't go off even after 2 showers. I have tried many salons having lived in different areas and this was easily THE WORST salon I have ever been to in my life. The customer service was pathetic, the place was not clean, expensive and did not get my money's worth. The only good thing about this salon is its location and it is probably the only Indian salon in the area, which gives them a great advantage as customers don't have much options. If it's just quick eyebrows threading you need done, go there, for ANYTHING ELSE please stay away from this awful place. I am never going back there again. And I will make sure to tell all my friends personally to stay away too. read more

Went there for eyebrow threading and was happy with my experience. The lady there was really good at threading.

They used to be so polite but not anymore. They rudely said I cannot book an appointment if i dont prepay. I said it's ok I will walk-in. Then they called me and Screamed at me for not coming as THEY were waiting for me even though I did not have an appointment. Whattttt!!!!! read more

It's the cheapest place for eyebrows and upper lip threading only $10.50. BUT staff are rude, unwelcoming. My main problem is : I have the right to chose which one of the staff has to work with me and they refuse this way. They do it by order and many times I have to go to the lady who mess up my eyebrow shape. I hate it. I would like to talk to the owner if she can contact me in case she really cares about her customers and reputation read more

I have been going to Khoobsurat even before I moved to Bothell! I still go there for my eye brows, upper lips, hair cut and henna conditioning and I love the place for its people and the service! I have read some of the reviews here and people have called the people working here a little rude... they are professionals, so yes! They need to be a little strict about appointments! Once you open up a little, they open up twice as much and are very accommodating and extremely loving people. Just today I had a hair cut appointment... and didn't take an appointment for the henna conditioning which usually requires about a day's notice... but they had some henna so they did it for me anyways - and this is not the first time they did that! I attribute some of their rudeness that anyone might first notice about them and the deposit to be their earlier experience with clients to whom they had been nice to, but probably ditched them! Also! I had my hair straightening for my dance show recently done here, and it was very well done! They don't try to make money off you, and lean toward natural beauty tips than some fancy money making solution which could easily cost a lot! So yes!!! 5 star it is! :) read more

They start to charge as they wish and of course it's cash only. The service use to be much better. Do not let the owner to do threading on you she is absolutely the worse. Also it's trouble me to see one of the girls giving the owner massages when they are not busy, it's seems like they can't sit down and relax when they are not busy. read more

Salon review. Been coming here for years. It is fast service, and perfect brow results for only 7$! Can't beat it anywhere. The women that work there aren't very talkative to their customers (which is why I am assuming other yelpers thought they were rude), which is completely fine with me, but they have always been nice and straightforward. read more

If I could, I would give this place a 0. The people working here are the absolute worst. They will promise you everything and do the worst job possible. The customer service here is absolutely horrendous. Listen to the reviews here from other people and don't go here expecting them to give you good service. read more

This place is AMAZING!! I was literally on the chair for 2 mins. NO PAIN AT ALL! I will be back in 2 weeks.

Very poor Customer Service. Went in for a Facial Bleach and asked the difference between the $15 and $25 package. Her actual response, "Look at the prices and you be the judge of the difference", walks away rudely. I believe as a Customer I should at least be aware of the options when having someone work with my face. read more

Worst customer service, Lady was very rude. No proper care taken, She literally burnt my skin while waxing.

I went for eyebrows and waxing. Extremely rude owner. Horrible customer service.... Worst experience of my life. I got a rash in armpit after waxing and it hurts bad. Pls do a favor on yourself and dont go here. read more

Do not go here .. The woman are so rude!!! My eyebrows are ruined and they don't look even at all.. Go to Alderwood mall instead yeah they charge more but they are so good and very professional unlike khoobsorat ! I guess that's what I got for going a little cheaper read more

I've been going to them for awhile but every time I go, I'm disappointed. Why would I keep going back? Great question. I think I thought if I tried different people it would be better. Also the location is convenient, the only place in the area that does threading that I know of, and the price is great. But you get what you pay for, they speed through it and don't do a good job. I had one lady that put powder on first, took her time to make sure my eyebrows looked the same and I was extremely happy but I haven't seen her since. In general most the time they are shaped a little off when I leave and then there's always hairs they missed. I would say though, because I've seen other reviews on here, that the women in there have never been rude or unkind. They don't talk much, but that's fine. Just not a great quality eye brow threading so I'm going to go farther to find someone who does them better. read more

I had a really good experience here today. I usually get waxed somewhere else but have been getting my eyebrows threaded here for years and they are amazing! But today I got a few waxing services done and honestly before I came in I was really scared reading the other reviews. I don't know how the other estheticians are at the salon but my esthetician Dimple was great! She was super fast, efficient, and sweet. I read other reviews like how they will burn u with the wax or don't clean up the sticky residue.. Maybe all estheticians at this salon are different but Dimple was more than satisfactory. She also does an amazing job shaping my brows. I have zero complaints about the services. But the only reason why I gave them 4 stars is because of the facility. They could definitely get nicer beds with plain sheets instead of ones with designs which would look more professional and clean their wax pots a lot more! But I do believe they are hygienic, but to look more clean and professional I could recommend a few changes to the place.. Also I think hiring a receptionist would be really beneficial because the girls here work hard and struggle to answer the phones when it gets busy. Being busy while answering a phone call doesn't always make for a warm and sweet phone call. But the prices here are EXTREMELY good.. So I can't complain. I'm really happy and will be going back here. :) read more

My experience with this salon has been nothing but unpleasant. The stylists are rude and I don't know why, people keep cutting into the queue. Irritating! especially if you are waiting on a sunday evening and the service already takes an eternity. I will not go there again ever! read more
