My second visit to nanu and boy was it a better experience. My first had been at night when only one woman was working. I hadn't checked yelp for thread-er referrals so I just gambled my brows away. Terrible. I had to suffer through shapeless man-brows until they grew out again. Anyways on my recent visit and yelp homework complete, I put in my written request for Anj. Services provided: Brows and upper lip My instructions: Just a little shape and arch Total: $9 for brows and $5 for lip Tip: $3 (a little over 20%) As always there is that funny and painful tingling, watery eyes, and tension when undergoing the threading procedure but one must endure. She spent a great deal of time shaping (since I was the only client in store) and was gentle when she could be. I was perfectly satisfied. My brows look awesome. My 1 star deduction? She was about to start on my brows before inquiring about my wants/needs. Wasn't sure what would have happened otherwise? Still, very happy. read more

It's definitely not much to look at in terms of decor.... But they do a pretty good job! I've had my eyebrows done by 3 different people and they all turned out great. They're quick and efficient which makes it perfect for my lunch break and for $9 I can't even complain! read more

Tina is the best! Always takes her time and is thorough and does a great job. The entire staff is wonderful, I always leave very happy!

I came in with a friend to get my eyebrows waxed, as they have this service listed on the ipads when you sign in. When I was seated in the first chair, the lady said "oh no we dont wax threading is better" and proceeded to start threading me. She totally ruined my eyebrows! Now one is shorter than the other and one is rounded in the front and the other square. Im seriously pissed off and disappointed. My friends eyebrows were also uneven and she was in the third chair. So uneven her boyfriend noticed... thats when you know its bad. Never coming here again!!! Might as well spend the extra few $ to go somewhere clean and professional. read more

Love this place! Tika is excellent, you may have to wait but it's worth it. They have a punchcard system, so after ten you get your eyebrows threaded free. Totally recommend this place. Hooray for get service. read more

Twinkle is the best! I stopped going to another spot that is also a chain only because I love Twinkle and I never have to wait here! Great service! read more

Have you ever watched those beauty gurus on YouTube and wished you had their beautifully drawn eyebrows? Luckily, I USED to have those eyebrows before I made the mistake to come here for a cleanup. My eyebrows are naturally thick and peak at the right spot. With a thread clean up here and there I rarely have to worry about them. Today, 2/11/16 was the day I needed to get them cleaned. I have my usual spot, but any place will really do. I've never had a bad eyebrow threading, up until today. I knew right away I had messed up as soon as she started. It didn't feel the same. Her "technique" wasn't the same as everyone. She kept going back and forth between the brows taking more and more off on the bottom and little to none at the top. The horror came when she handed me the mirror. They were shaped like a thick rainbow. I wanted to cry. I quickly handed her my card and ran to my car. So here I am, with awful eyebrows. Luckily they grow quick and I should have my beauties in a couple of weeks. I guess I'll have to learn how to draw them in for now. read more

I came here yesterday to get henna tattoo with two of my interns and let's say my henna looks horrendous and was overpriced. I got both hands which in the design book was 25 bucks but I changed up the design a little and it was actually less extravagant than the book and was charged 35. Not to mention she did a really ugly design of her own On my one hand even and messed it up while it was drying. One of my interns and I got the girl in the thick glasses from Nepal (do not recommend her for henna at all). My other intern got one of the other girls and she was really good. I won't be back for henna. Overpriced and unprofessional. read more

I've been coming to Nanu Threading for years now. I have Tina do my eyebrows and upper lip she is really sweet and takes her time and my eyebrows come out PERFECTLY every time. I have zero complaints. read more

Anytime I'm in the OC and need my eyebrows threaded...I'll swing on by here. It's my 2nd time here, and this place is pretty reliable. Quick in - and - out, $9 for eyebrow threading and place was kept clean. read more

This review is firmly for Twinkle. She has been threading my brows flawlessly for several years now. On three occasions I have gone to a different place and regretted it. Twinkle was kind enough to not laugh at me when I returned to her with tail tucked begging her to fix my eyebrows. I've learned my lesson and even though I have to drive 25 min since moving, I still wait until I can make it out to see her. She has a keen eye for shape and she is very gentle. On the rare occasion when there is a line, she's still worth the wait. My eyebrows are blessed to have met her. :) read more

I don't tolerate ANY kind of pain at all very well which is sometimes problematic when it comes to beauty and my eyebrows. I'll first preface by saying I've been threading since I was 14 (waxed for a little bit before that) and have only trusted one place to do my eyebrows- Shear Artistry in Diamond Bar, CA by my home. I tell you- 7 years later, I still cringe at the thought of the hair getting pulled out. In any case, my eyebrows were looking terrible one day and I mean- genuinely terrible. I wasn't going home that weekend and finally gave in to try this place that so many fellow Yelpers had recommended. I was a little nervous at first and thought about backing out a few times but figured it was well worth it to save myself from becoming deemed a gorilla. I'm not sure who it was that did my eyebrows but they came out pretty good. She took longer than usual- about 10 minutes. She kept asking to make sure I was ok and she didn't yank the hair out of my skin. Overall, I would come back and would definitely recommend this place. There might be a bit of a line depending on when you come. read more

Thank you YELP! I was visiting from Out of town and needed a quick thread. This is located across the street from the Hilton (next to a bustling TapiocaExpress). These ladies are fast and so inexpensive. I usually get some red patches after threading but not here?! I will come again when in town. I agree with other reviewers, make sure to tip them right! read more

Great place, fast service and the BEST part is that the service was perfect. I have gone to the same threading studio in the Bay Area for years and have been looking for something now that I am in SoCal. Definitely recommend! One problem, they didn't really honor the coupon that I printed out for new customers. I didn't complain when I noticed because the price was so cheap, however I left a big tip so hopefully they are always this good. read more

I've gone here for about a year now. I've gotten my underarms waxed here for $15. They take you into one of their rooms in the back and you lay down as they wax you. It's no different from any other place. But sometimes they miss a few hairs and they just leave it there. Their room in the back looks kind of ghetto though. I stopped get my waxes done here. I also get my eyebrows threaded here. Most of the time they come out sharp and clean looking for $9. And once in a while they're not completely even but good thing my bangs cover up one of my eyebrows. And threading for the upper lip is $5. I come here on weekdays and it's pretty dead. Come here on weekends and its packed. But they get you in quickly if you don't request for a certain person. I've never waited for more than 5 minutes. Get a stamp card if you come here often! read more

I was recommended by a friend to go to the Nanu Threading in Cerritos. However, because I stopped working around the area, I needed a new spot. I love this place even more than the Cerritos' joint. The person who threaded my eyebrows used small, soft strokes compared to the other Nanu's location- so it didn't hurt as much. Overall, I will definitely come back here! read more

It's a tiny place but very clean and they did a great job. It's a bit of a hike for me but I would return

First time here. The lady in the second chair made my brows look absolutely awful and uneven. They don't even look remotely close to each other. When I mentioned it to her she said my eyebrows grow bad??? I hadn't touched my brows in weeks so she had a full canvas to work. Every other threading studio has never made a comment on how my brows grow "badly". I'd like to thank them for being understanding and giving me my money back though... read more

Nanu Threading - What on earth did she do to my brows??? - Waxing Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Siju , Tina and Ruby are all great! Great service and friendly staff. I've been going there since I moved here and will continue to go

I come here when I don't feel like driving to Vinita's in Tustin, which for some reason is pretty often. It's never busy when I come on the weekdays in the early afternoon.. not sure if that's a good or bad thing? 97% of the time I am very happy with the results but one time I think I got a newbie and let's just say I was not very satisfied. They have a frequent visitor card so make sure you get one of those if you're gonna be coming here often. read more

Great experience. Why? - no wait -my threading specialist took her time on my eyebrows, shaped them nicely -place seemed clean -well lit, so that my threading specialist can see all my little hairs -friendly staff -cheap read more

I love Nanu Threading because they are always consistent. I normally have a new person each time I go, but they all do a wonderful job. They don't rush with the threading. They take their time to make sure everything looks good and they tweeze any stray hairs left behind from threading The price is very reasonable compared to most places in or around Costa Mesa. The women are all friendly. I HIGHLY recommend this place! read more

Let me start first by saying that I am EXTREMELY picky about my eyebrows. I have never gotten them threaded before, and I just moved to the area so I lost my waxing lady. My roommates all have theres done and talked me into getting mine threaded as well. I yelped places for threading and Nanu came up. My roommate and I were taken in right away by Twinkle (yes, that's her real name!) and she did a FANTASTIC job. She did exactly what I wanted her to do, and my roomie and I were done and out in about 15min flat. read more

Service: 4/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Area: 5/5 Price: 4/5 I am not used to anyone messing with my eyebrows since I have so little on me, so i only trust a lady from back home (Bay Area), but since I am here for school, I can't just go untamed, and my friend recommend me to this place so I gave it a chance. I forgot the lady who did my eyebrows but wow!! The treading hurt a lot but she got every little tiny hair out of there! She even gave me a massage after the painful experience, something I don't get back home! The only reason why I bumped down the service score was because she was pushy on asking me to do other parts of my face (upper lips, head, etc), but I mean, it's business. She convinced me to do my lips and it hurt so much, I just know I'm not doing it again lol. The store was clean! and no one was there so I was seated immediately and my threading lady got to work. It's in a small/old shopping center area, but next door is tapioca express and their service was wonderful so I give this area a 5/5. Price isn't bad for the brow threading 9 bucks i believe. I forgot how much the lips were but overall it wasn't a bad price. I pay the same amount back home anyways! read more

I got my waxing done here. the girl who did waxing kinda felt inexperienced (at least to me)... i was in so much pain and she didn't even get all the hair off! yeah, you get what you pay for i guess. not coming here again. The girl, was friendly though. i think she'll be even better if she got some experience. read more

Twinkle just did my henna and always does my threading. She consistently does a great job and is meticulous in her work. I love the henna tattoo that she did on my back. For those that weren't happy with their henna tattoo I would advise to not wet your henna tattoo for a period of 24hours because when water is place on henna it stops the henna from darkening. Thanks twinkle! read more

Nanu Threading - Thanks twinkle - Waxing Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Twinkle is my go to girl! I rarely (if ever!) have to tell her to go over a particular spot again! I get a full face threading every month, so it's easy to miss some hairs. She's quick and efficient! She did my full face in 10 minutes when it can commonly take about 30 minutes. If you visit her, tip her well! She deserves it! Full Face Threading: $30 read more

Twinkle is amazing. I have been going to her for years and she never disappoints. She fixed my eyebrow shape many times.

I don't remember her name, but the lady was so nice. It was so much more relaxed than Ziba, and she listened to my suggestion without sneering at me, like they do at Ziba. Also she didn't let all the hairs go in my nose and she made pleasant conversation with me, unlike Ziba. Better than Ziba! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Yes, I've learned that I have some damn bushy eyebrows and girls definitely don't dig that at all, so anytime i have to start man-scaping I hit up Nanu for the cheapest, quickest way to make my eyebrows look good for the ladies :D It actually doesn't hurt that bad until they get those tiny ass hairs near your eyelid, and it looks really weird when the "artist" is just biting the hell out of that string But irregardless, it always comes out good and only $9 bucks! What a steal!! read more

There's never a wait in all the times that I've gone. I usually go around 6 p.m. on a work day. The place is not very big, but it's really clean. In comparing this threading salon to the "chain threading salons" (cough Ziba cough cough), the decor and overall aesthetics is somewhat lacking but don't let that fool you because the service is great and the prices are very reasonable. I ask for Madu every time I go in. She is very sweet and VERY thorough. I am not too picky when it comes to my eyebrow shape. (My brows are comparable to that of a banshee - if it had eyebrows.) So really, I'm not one to complain if one arch is "off" or whatever. As long as they are neat and and nicely trimmed, you will get no complaints from me, and as far as I can tell, my brows have been looking better than ever ever since I started coming here. Madu is really great and she seems very knowledgeable as to what kind of arch suits your face. Good service with good prices. Can't beat that. Also, they offer a stamp card. I think it's something like, pay for 8 eyebrow threadings and get the 9th free. read more

Have gone to see Twinkle a few times and she always does a great job! Have also seen Deepa who also did a great job! Twinkle is very friendly and not only fixed a previously botched eyebrow job from another place, she also gave me tips for filling in my eyebrows and making them darker. read more

I have been coming here for 3-4 years now, and I always go to Twinkle for eyebrow threading. She's fast, makes the process almost painless, and really sweet. Their services are pretty affordable for Irvine, with eyebrow threading at $9. read more

Love my Twinkle. She is truly an artist. She get ms my eyebrows right every time! And has me looking like celebrity! I have been coming here for years. I can't speak for anyone else here because I only tried one other lady here (she jacked me up) but I love this place and their prices. you get free eyebrows after your 5th or 7th session. Anyway she's super fast which makes it almost pain free (I have super bushy eyebrows so I expect some pain lol.) but with her I barely notice. She's so fast it almost makes my head spin how she gets it so perfect so fast! read more

I can honestly say that this place kicks some "uni-brow" ass!! I have been to SEVERAL threading places in the OC and LV and Nanu's on Bristol knows what they are doing. "Angie" is great, she makes them perfect. She asked me the first time how I wanted them, and I've never had to tell her again. I have tried other local places, and they are overpriced, long lines, and to crowded. This is my Threading Place! read more

I used to a be a regular at Ziba, but they've since become super commercialized and pricey with long waits. No thanks. Saw positive reviews for Nanu's so I decided to check them out. Even better, Nanu's cost less than what I was used to shelling out for Ziba. I was literally in and out of Nanu's in less than 15 minutes. I walked in and they immediately sat me down. I told her just to "clean it up" but I was still scared she'd do too much. To be honest, it'd been a while since I had my brows done. I was fully prepared for my eyes to start tearing up and for me to apologize for having tears run down my face like the last time I got my brows threaded. But nope, not this time. Painless, super quick, and no tears! :) Annnd, my brows look great. They know what they're doing. Ooh, and stamp card? Love it! I'll definitely be going back. read more

I have really thick eyebrows and like them getting threaded a particular way...with minimal pain! So here Deepa is quite good at it. She gets all the unruly hairs and does the shape as told. I have found my go to place for threading here! I have not tried other services but if threading is what you need, i would recommend this place. read more

Looove it. All the ladies are so quick, yet gentle, sweet, and talented. I got my eyebrows threaded here for the first time, and KEEP coming back, I've been coming here mainly to get my eyebrows and upper lip threaded, and they do an amazing job each and every time with great advice on how I can even pluck/maintain my arch shapes. Fantastic. Thank you ladies! read more

Great threading. Walked in & was seen right away. Brilliant price! Would recommend! I'm from England & I wasn't sure where to go for my eyebrows. My boyfriend found this place. Great work! read more

Went in during my lunch time with no waiting. Bandi (hope I'm spelling it correctly), was friendly and fast. It's usually more painful however she was great and my eyebrows came out perfect. I'm definitely going to be a repeat customer. read more
