10/10 would avoid letting anyone other than Nanu touch my eyebrows. I came back since I was so happy my first time around.. Which was a BIG mistake. My eyebrows are naturally shaped and full + fluffy. I asked for a cleaning, instead I got 2 different sets of eyebrows. Different shapes & different thickness. I'm trying not to crash out :) I pointed it out to the artist. And she swears she couldn't see the difference. I then asked her coworker, who then confirmed and apologized. I ended up paying for service and leaving immediately. Needless to say I'm upset. I don't even know how to fix them atm bc make up isn't cutting it. read more

I wish I read the most recent reviews before going in! It's been a minute since I've been here last-- I went in for a simple cleanup. I explained at the beginning to just make them even. She did not make them even. My technician completely botched my eyebrows. Two different shapes. Thin and patchy!! Plus she moved hella slow, it was horrible! The male owner who was there, tried to intervene/explain to my technician that they were uneven. Excuse after excuse. Both of them staring at my uneven eyebrows for at least 10mins before I just had to go. I am disappointed that this once local spot has gone downhill so quickly. Looks like they don't respond to reviews good/bad anyway! What a bummer!! read more

Easy in and out in 10 minutes. I only had to wait a short bit. Prices are on the higher side in my opinion $15 eyebrows $5 upper lip $2 lower lip Place is clean. Ladies are sweet. read more

I wish I had remembered the ladies name but I went on a Friday afternoon to get my eyebrows reshaped since the last two threading places couldn't even them both out. I usually have one eyebrow higher than the other. And omg this lady did what I asked her to do and make them look even! I love them so much !!!! read more

Nanu threading is the BEST place to get your eyebrows threaded. They always do a spectacular job and the ladies are super friendly and professional. Very clean and sanitary place. No complaints! Highly recommend getting your brows threaded here. Tip the ladies well! They do such a good job. read more

I used to love this place but the past couple of times have been okayish. However this last time I went I asked for my upper lip waxed (like I always do) when she removed the wax she was very aggressive. when finished the lady put aloe Vera immediately without asking which I found weird but anyways I paid and when I got to my car I noticed that she had had not only removed the wax but also parts of my skin. My theory is she put aloe quick thinking I wasn't going to notice. I called and she said that it's because I have pimples which I know was not the case. read more

Nanu Threading - Waxing Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Very disappointed I usually come and the service is great however today was horrible my eyebrows still look the same she missed a lot of hair not sure who my lady was but very disappointed 16 for a service I'm disappointed in if not ok read more

If I could only request Nanu to do my eyebrows in the future I would like that option. The other lady messed up my brows and made them very short and small. I had thick and shaped brows. They just needed to be cleaned up. It's hard to even fix with makeup. It's gonna take months to grow back. read more

I usually love this place, have been coming for 4 years. However, the last two times have just not been it. Plus there is a new lady and she messed up my eyebrows. She took too much hair off and my eye brows are soooo thin now, they have no shape, it hurt soo badly. My skin is swollen, and she left me a bald spot. I am very disappointed. read more

They do an amazing job on my eyebrows for the time and price is very ideal. They don't take too long and usually i am in and out fast and i love how different and new my eyebrows look every time! read more

I was in & out in 15 minutes and really liked the way my eyebrows turned out! The place was cozy and felt clean. I'd come back more often if I lived in the area! read more

Prices are way too high and they charge an extra dollar for paying with a card. Came out to 25 bucks for brow and lip clean up read more

I go regularly and they always do a great job. Took care of my husband's eyebrows right before the wedding!

I got an eyebrow threading service, but the experience was disappointing. The artist didn't clean my eyes and brows before asking me to open my eyes, and there was no proper cleaning procedure after the threading was done. They even left hairs in my right eye, which was very uncomfortable. I expected a more thoughtful and professional approach. read more

I am super disappointed to have been given a run-around and tall-tales about Twinkle who used to work at this location. Twinkle is my go-to-queen who I see for my brows. The last time I saw her, it was in early December. When I came back in early January and walked in, I was told by the establishment that Twinkle was on vacation in India and would not be back for a month. The establishment did offer to have someone else help me with my services, to which I declined, given my previous experience with a different person who was not Twinkle. (I learned the hard-way and don't trust anyone else.) I called mid January to confirm when she would be back and was told she would return January 31. I called on January 31 to ask if Twinkle had returned, to which I was then told Twinkle went on vacation to Pakistan, was supposed to return, but has not. There are several issues that made me finally realize something was off: 1. Twinkle has shared in the past that she is Indian. So when I heard she went on vacation to Pakistan (and it isn't to say she can't visit any other country, but they had made it sound like she was going home to visit family) the second time asking, it didn't make sense. 2. For a professional like Twinkle, she doesn't strike me as an individual who would say she would do something and not--ie. return to work but didn't. 3. While I understand there are ethics to businesses, it would have suffice if the establishment simply told Twinkle's clients that she was no longer employed instead of blatantly lying. I do hope the business will take constructive feedback into consideration and approach the issue better in the future. read more

I've been here a couple times over the last few years for eyebrow and upper lip threading. They used to do appointments but now it seems like it's walk-ins only. I feel like Covid hit them pretty hard. Decent cleanup work, pretty affordable pricing for their services, and located in a small plaza. I usually go in the morning and have never really asked for someone in particular to do the threading. Usually turns out fine, and they ask if you want witch hazel applied after. Would come back again for just cleanup since I'm not big on shaping my eyebrows or anything. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, especially if they're negative. The only review I've ever left was because of a positive experience. But honestly, I've given this place like 5 chances. The only two regular ladies left, have each ruined my brows and made them crooked. They are SO crooked this time idk how I'm going to fix it without growing them out for months. Twinkle doesn't work here anymore. Haven't gotten a decent threading since. So sad. My left eyebrow is literally half the size of my right one!! LMFAO. What a joke. That's not funny at all. Sorry nanu, think I'm finally done. read more

Nanu Threading - My left eyebrow is half as thick as my fucking left!! This is going to take MONTHS for me to grow out. - Waxing Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I was a walk in at 5pm during the week. I was happy that there was a very short wait. I was greeted and the staff were pleasant to chat with. Love my brows and the aloe massage after. read more

I come here for clean ups most of the time since I pluck my own eyebrows, but I'm always in and out in under 10 minutes. I think out of the ten times I have come I've only waited once and it was for a maximum of ten minutes. They also have rewards and always send coupons for $2 off! They're amazing! Get your eyebrows threaded here. And RUBY is the best I love her. She always makes sure my brows keep their shape and they're not too thin. ***UPDATE***: Still go for Ruby. She's quick and never messes up. I have been going here since I was in high school, so over 4 years now and they still remember exactly how I like it and do such a clean job. ALWAYS say yes to the witch hazel!!!! read more

To be fair I gave this place many chances here is why I don't recommend it at all. 1- Very extremely rude (the entire team) 2- If you do waxing prepare yourself to leave with patches of hair 3- The quality of wax is terrible. 4- Always adding $$ on the original price 5- their definition of full stomach is actually half stomach, Brazilian wax they will for sure add at least $15 on the original price 6- they don't even pull the skin in the right direction while waxing leaving tiny broken hairs all over. Never again. read more

My sister wanted to get her eyebrows done. She Yelped this place and that's how the story goes. She encouraged me to try it so I decided why not. AMBIANCE: Parking: The plaza has a lot of restaurants but few parking spots. It would be okay but these restaurants are pretty popular. Seating: They have about 10 chairs to serve people and another 4 to wait. I believe there were about 4 people working here. Feels: Once again the plaza can get pretty popping during conventional hours, especially during the evening. The space inside is a your simple haircut/salon shop. A spacious shop that's pretty spotless (aside from the hair). Threading: Low-key painful but pretty effective. I really wish I had a before and after picture to show you the significant difference. The service was pretty quick to (5-10 minute) CUSTOMER SERVICE: Pretty good. Simple greeting, straight business, and out in the nick of time. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. Price was reasonable ($7), service was quick, and the job was executed to excellence. Nothing else to sell here but if you're around the area, check this place out. TIPS: * Check-In on Yelp for a discount! read more

Nanu Threading - Getting my eyebrows cleaned up! - Waxing Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Quick, great prices and clean! The ladies always do a great job on my brows. Very happy and I've been coming here for about 2 years.

Too expensive for the quality. $15 for eyebrows is absolutely ridiculous when ur girls can't thread good

I'm so upset!! My skin above my eyebrows got scraped by the threading and now its scabbing!! I'm never returning here again, or to any Nanu for that matter. I got cut when I went to the Main Place location in Orange too. I should've known better. They're so careless. They just rush people in and out. read more

Nanu Threading - Look at what they did to my skin. Ugh! - Waxing Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Clean venue and great service! Signing in was quick and easy with the tablet system. I was able to choose what I wanted quickly, seated promptly and treated professionally. The techs know what they're doing and work quickly and gently. Eyebrows were $10 and I have no complaints. Will definitely be coming back here again. read more

Nanu Threading - Decent pricing! - Waxing Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This was my first time getting a Brazilian wax and I'm pretty sure all of the hair is supposed to be waxed off but I will still have to shave the rest after she was "finished". She was very nice but I don't have anything else to compare this experience to besides the fact that it hurt and I still have to shave anyways so all in all I'd consider it a wasteful fail. I'd post a pic but I don't think that's allowed. read more

$10+1 tip Tina. Didn't take off too much. Just cleaned up my eyebrows. It still burns a little bit, but I don't often get this service done and haven't been to many other places to compare. Just note that you do have to sign in on their tablets when you walk in as it's first come, first serve or by appointments. read more

Never again! I used to see Twinkle and she's no longer there anymore. Really not worth going to. The other ladies just are not as good. They took way too much off, even when I asked them to clean up lightly and trim minimally. She started threading in areas I asked her not to (ie above the brow). Her threads kept snapping on me and it hurt: Really annoyed I went there without checking yelp to see Twinkle went. Also this place is not very clean. Roaches in the bathroom crawling all over the wall yikes. Disgusting! read more

I wish I could give negative stars. My girl Twinkle isn't here anymore and he moved to Baba threading off of e. 17th street. Didn't know this originally and was LIED to by the manager that she was on vacation. I reluctantly agreed to try a different person who sits in Twinkle's old station and was awful. She cut my lid TWICE and I got up and left. My husband called and complained. Walked around with uneven, overly threaded brows for weeks. THANKS yelp for letting me know where Twinkle went to and I'm glad she's away from this place read more

I've brought my daughter here a few times and she seems to like it. Never really busy and always able to just walk in. Price seems affordable for what service is. Employees are nice. Just a dad's reveiew. read more

I have gone there for Twinkle ( the lady in the 3rd chair ) and I went in last week and asked for her and they LIED to me and told me she's on vacation and insisted for me to let another lady do my brows and kindly said no thank you. But i later found out twinkle moved to a place called Baba threading. read more

I normally don't trust anyone with my eyebrows (besides one person) but decided to give Nanu Threading a try since I'm travelling. My eyebrows was grown out and needed to be cleaned up. The eyebrow threading costed $15 usd and then a 15% tip. I realised that she didn't clean up the left eyebrow properly, I was still left with a lot of hair at the bottom. The right eyebrow was cleaned up more but not as great. I also was left with small cuts around my eyebrows. I was left disappointed by the work done and my eyebrows looks completely different from each other. Now I have to let it grow out and get it fixed. I don't recommend this place! read more

I always leave happy from Nanu Threading every time and I go with whoever is available. Nanu is a little out of the way and definitely more expensive than other threading places, but the Costa Mesa location is worth the drive and the money. My brows are what make this face so if anyone messes up these brows it will ruin my makeup routine time and just overall correcting with brow pomade, etc. Nanu Costa Mesa always gives me clean and even lines that I either don't need to touch up with brow pomade or if I do use brow pomade it looks just that much more immaculate. read more

Today, for the first time I feel the need to write a negative review. I walked in and asked for a cleanup around my original brows. I told the girl to not touch my eyebrows or shape whatsoever. Just clean up the hairs around them. I noticed she was taking a little bit longer than most girls usually do. When we were done she handed me the mirror and I realized my right eyebrow had completely lost all the hair I had been growing out for the last eight months. My left eyebrow however was slightly salvaged but of course thinned out. She also took the medial part of my grown out brows and thinned them, and did the opposite of what I asked. They were both very skinny almost like when I was in high school and the girls used to draw eyebrows with sharpie pens. They looked completely different due to her overcompensating on the right one. I am mortified as I have a national sales meeting next week. I have never had anything this embarrassing happen to me, nor somebody not listen to me to such the extent that she did. Based on her English I can tell now that she did not understand a word I said. I will never be back. I'm so embarrassed and this will take seven months to recover from. Please... If you don't understand, get someone who speaks English and does understand. Goodbye thick brows Thank you, glad you got a tip out of it. Oh, forgot to mention... my arches are gone and now a straight line. Wondering if I was her first try???? read more

Anisha is amazing! Not sure why the bad reviews overall but if in doubt, ask for her.

Twinkle did not live up to the hype. I came here based on the reviews and requested Twinkle per the reviews. First off, the customer service was lacking. She was not friendly, but I suppose the main goal is to get people in and out as quickly as possible. In addition, I saw some reviews saying your first time is $7, but when I mentioned it was my first time she just nodded and asked 'just a cleanup?' and I said yes, but I was charged $9. Not the biggest deal, it's still pretty cheap. Also, I have a lot of fine hairs, and people tend to miss a few here and there, but I usually catch them when I look in the mirror. However, it's hard to see the multitude of small hairs that were left behind in the dim lighting inside the salon, as soon as I got in my car and looked in the mirror in natural light I saw them all. I had half a mind to go back inside and ask for them to touch them up, but I didn't. Another thing I noticed was they don't rub aloe vera into your eyebrows when you're done. My favorite part of getting my eyebrows threaded is when they massage the gel into your eyebrows, after basically ripping your skin off I think it's necessary. All I got was two little swipes of an alcohol pad and was rushed out the door. Will not be returning. read more

See all

Love getting my eyebrows done by Tina, she always does such a great job This is definitely my go to spot now !!! read more

Came here a few days ago in the morning since I was in the neighborhood. They're supposed to open at 10am but I guess they were running late and a few of the workers were standing outside waiting for the boss to arrive. I suggest you don't go at 10am, but rather, around 10.30am when they've gotten everything set up and ready to roll. I only had my eyebrows done this time because the upper lip hurts like a mutha and I really wasn't in the food to have much pain so early in the morning. My threader was Navi and she did a good job. I still like this place far better than Vinita's in Tustin. read more

So I live in the Inland Empire and am completely aware that there are plenty of places around my area to get my eyebrows threaded; however, I always find myself driving 45 minutes to Costa Mesa just to get my eyebrows threaded (jk I lied, I also stop by South Coast hehe). Honestly, I find it difficult to find "the one" so when I do, I will always come back no matter where I am... unless I'm like halfway across the world then it doesn't count. THE DETAILS: Located in the same little plaza with Anjin and Tapioca Express, it's pretty easy to find and has plenty of parking. The shop is modern, bright, and clean. You come in, write your name on a clipboard, what you want done, who you want, and then you wait. The girls that work here are very friendly and they are very experienced in what they do. The prices here are a little bit more expensive; I'm used to pay $6 and tipping a couple of dollars, but here they charge $8 for brows which isn't that bad but you get what you pay for. They also have a stamp card but I always forget to bring mine, so remember to keep yours on deck! THE PROCESS: I usually wait about 5 to 10 minutes, it's not too bad. I always, always ask for Twinkle. Yeah, I thought the same... her name sounds like a stripper... she may not be able to work the pole but man she knows how to work my eyebrows! I barely have any eyebrow hairs to begin with but she cleans my eyebrows and trims them to suit my face shape. She's quick and also gentle. The end result is always fabulous and I've never been disappointed! Twinkle is such a sweetheart, I love her! THE END? I'm actually making a stop by tomorrow to get my brows back on point. read more

I hate doing this especially because this place is AWESOME when it comes to threading but today I came in for a wax because I couldn't get an appointment with my gal Sameera in Fullerton. I came here because the price level is about the same and it's super close to home. Plus, they take walkins which is awesome. I had nothing better to do on a Sunday anyway aside from getting waxed. The lady who took me in sounded a bit inexperienced but she assured me she was licensed and had about 2 years worth of experience so I trusted her. The room they take you into is bare, white walls, no photos, and there's a small table with wax equipment. I did notice that she didn't double dip but she did reuse the same cloth strips and then leave them on me or around me to see the hair that was being ripped off which was gross. Throughout the entire wax, she had a hard time pulling off the hair which caused even more pain and then kept forgetting the baby powder. I had to point out hair that missed and there's still some areas now with hair that was missed. So frustrating. I came home with wax all over me and she didn't even use any wax remover or do any post wax cleanup. Also the room has no station to clean up and wash your hands which is so unsanitary. In the end, my cheap wax ended up costing twice as much because she worked on some areas that I never asked her to work on but she told me I did. Communication skills are seriously lacking here and I will never come back for a wax again, only threading. You've been warned. read more
