Nahid is a brow-grooming goddess! She is professional, prompt, thorough, and affordable. If you've never experienced threading, I highly recommend it. I prefer it to waxing because I always get breakouts from wax and find that threading is a lot more precise. Just be prepared for a little bit of pain (on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say it's a 3 tops) and some participation (you'll have to hold your forehead and eyelid at points to make your brow taut). Nahid will greet you warmly, take a look at your brows, ask what you generally like (thicker or thinner brows, higher or lower arches), and then get to work. She uses rosewater to soothe the skin as she works and then - to top it off - finishes your appointment with a calming moisturizer by Eminence (love that product line!) that she applies with a mini-massage. It's easy to schedule with her via phone or text. And, she only charges $15 for brows. One tip: For your first visit, give yourself a few extra minutes to find your way to the spa space where she is located within the Gallery of Salons maze. read more

I can't tell you how many compliments I get on my brows. Nahid is by far the best. She's professional, on time, and always responds to texts. I've seen her 50+ times for my brows and I've never had a single bad experience. I will never go anywhere else! Update: I wrote that review 11 months ago and I still see her every other Thursday! She's amazing. read more

My eyebrows were out of control! I tried threading a while back at Sophia's on Guadalupe and was disappointed. I looked on Yelp to find an alternate location and came across Nahid's. Making an appointment was easy...I called and schedule one for the next day. She makes evening appointments, too, which is great for those of us who work during the day. Nahid was prompt and started on time. She has two rooms in the Gallery of Salons at Northcross. The threading takes place in the interior salon area. Her room was clean and comfortable. She did a fantastic job with my eyebrows and spent a lot of time making sure they were exactly how I wanted them. Her technique was great and she didn't pluck (as sometimes other do with threading). $15 for threading was not bad. Others may charge less, but they are less skilled and precise than Nahid. I will definitely return! read more

So I got a wild hair up my ... brow and decided to get my eyebrows threaded. I'm a dude and I've never done this kind of manscaping before. This threading technique seemed more interesting than waxing. It also seemed like a more personal experience than going into a strip mall, especially being a guy. On an early Sunday afternoon, I called about this and Nahid was able to see me immediately. Nice start. I got there 30 minutes later and we got started. The only thing I said was that it was my first time and that I just wanted my eyebrows cleaned up. She proposed starting off with a minimal reduction, 'cause you can always take off more. About 10 minutes later she had me give her some feedback and she then suggested we take off a little of the sides, which I agreed with (whatever, she's the expert, and a female one at that). Another 5-10 minutes and we were done. As far as the pain (I'm sure this is a common question), some parts were painful and some weren't. She said that the more you do it, the less painful it is, which I guess makes since. My roots have been there for quite a while. The brows under my eyes were the most sensitive, as she warned me about, and I have some little cuts underneath to prove it. But no pain no gain, as I told her. The moments of pain were temporary, and she seemed to be pretty efficient (yet thorough) so the whole process wasn't excruciating or anything. It's about what I expected - if anything, a little less painful. When she was done she applied some orange blossum cream and gave me a little eyebrow massage which felt great. All of this was done in a little room, so there was privacy. She had some "soothing" music playing too. All-in-all, a very comfortable experience, especially considering I was a little nervous at first, not knowing what to expect. My eyes are more noticeable now and I have more confidence. I plan on going back, but not every 2-3 weeks like she recommends, mainly because of the cost ($15). I'll try to do once a month or maybe once every 6 weeks. From what I recall, she said she'd knock off $5 if you get a haircut while you go in for this, so maybe I'll take advantage of that. Birds is cool but they never give me a "rock and roll" haircut like I think they should. Always too conservative. I guess I'll leave that review for Birds though in their section. read more

About 3 or 4 months ago, I was trying to find a place that did threading and I read on another website about Nahid Salon and Spa. Also I needed a haircut. I made an appointment with Nahid. With a magazine of the hair cut I wanted and completely damaged hair, I walked into Nahid and will never change stylists ever. Nahid has a great personality and very knowledgeable (she has 25 years experience). She has a strong attention to detail when she was cutting my hair and threading my eyebrows. Before I saw Nahid, I went to salons that tried to repair my hair but in a few weeks it would go back to way it was. Nahid is a miracle worker. She dyed my hair and it has been completely restored to its natural state. When she threads, she takes you into this room and turns on relaxing music. I have been going Nahid ever since I moved to Austin. I hope people try her services. You will not be disappointed. read more

Nahid did a wonderful job. She was quick yet meticulous in sculpting my brows. Loved! I instantly rebooked for another appt. 9/4/11 Update: Eh...the quality of the work has been slipping lately and it takes forever to get an appt with her. Found out there is a threader at Lakeline Mall that charges a fraction of the cost. I'll be going there from now on. read more

I heart Nahid! I completely missed my first appt. with her, which was totally my fault, but she was very kind about rescheduling. When I arrived at the Gallery of Salons, I was confused about how to find her. I think she only does hair in the booth indicated in the directory as hers. I finally found her in the shared salon rooms with some help from some of the other stylists. Definitely ask her when you make your appt. where to meet her and get explicit instructions. There didn't seem to be a reception area at all. I have never had my brows shaped in any way before my experience with Nahid. I have a fairly high threshold for pain, but it didn't seem too painful to me. She did a great job with the shape, not making me look too "done", which was my fear. I did have some irritation after the fact, but I think that's normal and my coworkers said they couldn't tell. I'll definitely go back to her and the price was right: $15! read more

I texted Nahid to set up an appointment, and she responded immediately. She was wonderful and did such an amazing job threading my eyebrows! I will definitely be a regular of hers. :) It took me forever to find her salon. I didn't know that it was within the mall! Google maps took me around the mall. haha. So FYI. It's within the mall. Maybe I'm the only goofball that didn't know that. :/ read more

Let me say this: If you've been jumping around from people to people for your eyebrows (like I used to) then you MUST see Nahid!! It cost $15 for my threading without the tip. It's by far the best eyebrow experience I've ever had. All the places I've gone to usually just "clean" my eyebrows, but Nahid shaped my eyebrows to my face. She asked me how thick I like them, and how I wanted my arch. She also told me she uses organic products, showed me how to fill in my brows, and gave my eyebrows a little massage after the threading. After she was finished I couldn't believe how awesome my eyebrows looked. Her studio is very clean and calming. Nahid is so sweet, friendly, and I got a very honest vibe from her. The place can be a little confusing to find, but she's located inside The Gallery of Salons located next to The Guitar Center. Try her out and see if you like it! read more

After reading all the reviews I could find about threading, I decided to go to Nahid for my first eyebrow threading experience. I mean, I was totally convinced by the reviews, because I drove all the way from South Austin for her. Nahid is very nice and her personality is great. And nothing against her, but the technique is painful! Not as much as waxing, but I did end up bleeding. Apparently the thread was too course and took off a little bit more than it was supposed to. My eyebrows do look great! I also got my upper lip done, which didn't hurt at all. I'll give Nahid and eyebrow threading a second try. Partly because I'm fascinated with the threading process and prefer it MUCH over waxing. And mostly because of Nahid's great personality. read more

I moved to Austin 3 years ago and knew about Nahid before I came. Unfortunately, I needed a quick eyebrow threading last minute and she was unavailable, so my first threading in Austin was at a salon with a woman named Jasmine or Jasmina or Jamilla. It was soo painful (I had been threading for about 2 years by that point), her products burned my skin (I don't have sensitive skin) and she over plucked my eyebrows! I looked like a drag queen! My second time, I went with my first choice, Nahid, and was so happy! I have recommended her time and again and have not had anyone else touch my brows since! She helped me grow them back out, and she knows I like fuller, natural brows, which she honors. She is so sweet and incredibly affordable for the quality you get. My favorite moment is the soothing rose water and the brow massage that follows. Highly recommended! I have brought her new clientele and all have never looked back! read more

Nahid is an artist. I've had my brows threaded elsewhere, and there is no comparison. She has the ability to determine what shape is most flattering, so there's no over-doing anything. It's a delight finding a go-to who is not only good at what she does, but who is also pleasant and professional. I'm a big fan. read more

She was amazing! Just went there tonight and she stayed late for me. On top of coming after hours, I was running late because the weather and traffic was so bad. She was very kind and sweet even though I kept her waiting (not that I'd make a habit of it, but it was a rough day, so I was so happy she was so laid back). She was very fast and thorough, and considering the bushes I came in with, barely hurt. Her salon is very professional, clean, smells great and she massaged my eyebrows afterward and I noticed they are not at all red anymore. Wonderful, wonderful! I am recommending her to everyone! And the price for eyebrow threading is still $15, well worth it because waxing breaks me out! Also she does organic facials and hair, everything but nails. Eager to try that out. read more

Nahid Salon and Spa - Eyebrow after threading--not too thin and not even red! - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

My Austin threading spot! Her work is impeccable. I also bought some oil. I was annoyed her sales pitch during my session but relented. Best thing ever. Her natural has bought my brows back nicely. I think she also sells on Amazon. read more

Perfection! My eyebrows are very dark and prominent so I take my eyebrow grooming very seriously. I have moved many times in the past few years and I have tried many different shops all across the country. I do as much research while looking for a eyebrow threader as I would for a surgeon. It's that serious! Nahid is by far the best person to ever thread my brows. She really knows what she is doing and more important, she cares about what she is doing. She makes the experience pleasant, pays close attention to detail and is extremely professional. My eyebrows were ok before going to her shop but I wanted them thicker and longer. I've now been going to her for a few months and she has completely reshaped my brows. They are beautiful! She was also the first person to thread my upper lip. I had always been afraid of the pain but she talked me into it. It was not bad at all but I don't think I'd let anyone besides her do it. This is my first Yelp review. I just had to come and share my wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Nahid! read more

This was my first experience. I went in for a full facial threading. Nahid was pretty nice and almost on time. She plays very relaxing music while you're lying there. She did a great job trying to fix my eyebrows. But the threading of my face didn't turn out to be as I wanted. When I went back home, I found big missed spots on my face. (I have really dark facial hair!) She used a bunch of organic creams and lotions on my skin during and after threading, which prevented my face from getting red and react to the threading. I paid $40 + tip. I don't think I'll go back for my face, but I will go again for my eyebrows. read more

I've had Nahid cut my hair for more than 5 years now. What I love about her haircuts are that my hair looks beautiful immediately after she has cut and styled it, but more importantly it looks great the day after as well. As a busy working mom, it is important that I be able to wash and dry my hair and walk out the door in the morning without having to spend precious time styling my hair. With the hairstyles that Nahid has given me over the years, this has always been possible. Nahid is so pleasant, reasonably priced and at a very convenient location. I won't be looking for a new hairstylist anytime soon. read more

Nahid made this "threading" experience as pleasant as she could. I understood the first few times you have your eyebrows threaded, it might smart, just a little. Well, they were right, but she was quick and kind and had a wonderful relaxing atmosphere. She asked if she could reshape my brows and explained how it would enhance my looks and it did. Wow! I will go back to her when its needed. read more

Nahid is amazing!! I moved to Austin and was unable to find someone who was able to do my eyebrows to my satisfaction. I'm sooooo glad I found Nahid! She consulted and knew right away what I needed. If you're looking for someone who will offer an analysis in a fantastic, professional location, you must go to Nahid!!! read more

I hate writing bad reviews, but this is about my lady bits. Based on good reviews, I went to Nahid for eyebrow threading and a Brazillian wax. The eyebrow threading was sloppy and was finished off with tweezing. A properly trained threader doesn't have to use a tweezer at all. The Brazillian wax was horrific. Nahid missed several patches of hair, double dipped, and left wax all over my genitalia. When I asked her if she could clean off the wax, she seemed annoyed with me. Her waxing technique is poor. Instead of a smooth and freshly waxed beaver, she left me with a patchy pussy, a rash, and a mountain of ingrown hairs even a month after my appointment. Not worth the money and aggravation. read more

I came here after a friend suggested it to me. I have been threading since 2000 and have some great threaders. Unfortunately, Nahid is not one of them. She left the my right eyebrow looking thick and my left looking thin. It looked like mess. I won't be comIng back. read more

Nahid is the only person I let touch my brows. She is the best threader and is the sweetest person. I highly recommend her services.

Nahid is the brow threading queen here in town. She is sooo sweet and always finds time to fit me into her schedule. I'm obsessed with my brows and she shapes them into these gorgeous, diva-worthy shapely arches. I'm totally hooked! read more

More than a year of eyebrow threading later, Nahid is still my go-to lady to groom my eyebrows. After she fixes my eyebrows all pretty, she puts this soothing moisturizer on them and does a quick little massage. Well, I finally gave in, reached down into my pockets and got a facial done. Yes, Nahid has magical hands. Just like her threading, she is meticulous about making your face better than it arrived. The line of products she uses made my face all tingly and the relaxing way she massaged my face made me think I could feel all the good cells working to make my face better than ever. Great results and sweet lady made the experience so worth it! read more

I really love Nahid's threading technique. She leaves your eyebrows looking really well shaped and clean. It's the second time I get my eyebrows threaded in general and I can safely say I am not going back to waxing. I highly recommend her to anyone that wants to try this. I must admit that it is painful but my skin doesn't get irritated as much with threading as it does with waxing. read more

Nahid has become my regular stylist and I have too many good things to say about her, so I'll keep it short: She has a ridiculous memory, she can cut curly hair and she's just generally awesome. She gets my loyalty! read more

I goto Nahid for my eyebrow threading and she is fantastic every time. Not only does she make time to fit me in during my lunch break(i work just 5 mins away) but she also makes sure that I'm satisfied with her work. She is thorough and I love the way my brows look after. read more

I have been to many threading specialists over the years in Houston, Dallas and New York. Sure there are cheaper alternatives in other cities, but Nahid is hands down, the best! Seriously, my eyebrows have never looked better. She is amazing. She is extremely precise and give you chances for feedback to make sure you are happy. I've always had to live with my eyebrows not being perfectly symmetrical with other threaders because the hair on either eyebrow doesn't grow in the same direction, but somehow this is not an issue for her. If you want your eyebrows to be perfect, GO TO THIS WOMAN!! Plus she is a total sweetheart, which makes the experience even more pleasurable. read more

I moved to austin about a year old and I could not find someone I loved to do my eyebrows until Nahid. She is awesome! My eyebrows are this weird blocked shaped bushy mess and they need a highly skilled person to keep them in check. Nahid trims them, threads, and goes after those small tiny hairs with teezers. Well worth it!!! read more

I was 40 mins late due to traffic and she waited and was extremely gracious about it. Very clean place. She listened to what my concerns were and gave me exactly what I asked for. She fixed a previously botched job better than I thought possible and told me exactly what to do to get my old shape back. If only all threading experiences were this pleasant!! read more

I have been seeing Nahid for years for haircuts, color, and eye brow color and threading. Nahid is amazing. She is great at what she does, and it is always a treat to see her. She is gentle, friendly, relaxing, and so very good what at what she does. When I am in to see her I never want to leave! read more

My boyfriend had his eyebrows threaded and had a really great experience. He's of middle eastern decent and has A LOT of eyebrow, and Nahid did a really wonderful job of taming them without looking too feminine. She was really sweet and informative, and he/we couldn't be happier with the outcome. I plan on going back there myself soon. read more

HANDS DOWN THE BEST FACIALIST AROUND!!!!! I have extremely sensitive skin and terrible ingrown hair when i started with her. After just two appointments with WonderWoman (stylist, facialist, nurse) my skin was as clear as it was when I was in highschool! After threading she steams and smooths the skin to perfection. Don't go anywhere else for your skin or you miss out on EXCELLENCE! THANK YOU NAHID!!!! read more

Nahid does an EXCELLENT job grooming brows, cutting hair and giving facials. I moved about a year ago and I miss her very much! When I look back at photos of my brows while I was seeing her they look like model eyebrows because she would help me grow out just the right pieces every time I would go in. Same for hair- she does wonders with layering medium to long hair. Also, I treated myself to a couple of facials with her and it was WONDERFUL!!! It cost less than the Hand and Stone facial I got but it involved so much more. I left with clean pores, super soft and moisturized skin, and the best head massage I have ever received. She is also a woman with a great heart. If you are someone who is selective when it comes to brow maintenance and have high standards for what the outcome should be, Nahid is your person. read more

Best eyebrow threader in ATX. Hands down best facial in town too!

Nahid does a wonderful job with face threading and eyebrow shaping. I would highly recommend her. I have tried many places in town for face threading and Nahid is the best. She is very gentle, you get to lay on a nice comfy spa bed and she does a fabulous job. read more

Nahid is the best! I have a very specific time constraint, and she respects that. My hair and face look amazing after each and every visit. She uses hypoallergenic products for face and hair, and always offers great advice on maintenance between visits. read more

I love the way she does my eyebrows! I have really weird eyebrows and not many places can make them look good. The first time I went to her, she shaped them into perfection. However, I thought it was a bit expensive since I heard that in Houston it was only $7 compared to her $15. I went back to Houston to get my eyebrows done and was disappointed that they didn't turn out the way I wanted them to. Therefore, I decided $15 was well worth it. On top of that, she uses organic products so I didn't break out in little red bumps around my eyebrows (unlike that other eyebrow threading place I went to). She was super friendly and easy to talk to. read more

I had a great eyebrow threading experience. The suite is a little hard to find inside the gallery of salons, but after I found it, the experience was great. I'll definitely be back. read more

After seeing the same esthetician for 7 years, and moving to a new city - I was very picking about finding a new person. Nahid was amazing, and did a great job threading my brows. She was calm, and comforting, and provided great suggestions -- but left the decision to me. As all the reviews have shown, she is lives up to these five stars. read more
