Now that I have discovered threading, I don't think I'll ever go back to waxing. For those of us blessed with luscious raven locks (aka a lot of dark hair) we know that it often shows up in prominent areas that we'd prefer it didn't. In the past, our options were shaving (not helpful for the face), bleaching, or waxing. Most of us have suffered through hot wax being applied to our skin and then ripped off painfully. I know I've had this done regularly for over 30 years - yes, this problem never seems to go away. After waxing, my skin is usually red, puffy, and itchy for at least an hour Not so with threading. Yes, it does hurt a bit to have either threading or waxing done. The big difference with threading is that when they are done my skin is not red, puffy, or itchy. I can walk out the door and nobody can look at me and tell that I've just had anything done. This is important to me, because I can stop to get threading done and then keep going about my business without worrying about how I look. When I used to get waxed, I always had to go home and apply cold packs to the affected areas until the swelling went down and then reapply my makeup. DEFINITELY a bonus since I'm usually busy. Patel's Threading and Henna Salon does not look like a decorator was involved. It is very simple, just several salon style chairs where customers are worked on and an area where people can wait. The ladies here are very nice and do a great job. It never takes long to have work done and be on your way. read more

For anyone who has never threaded before, you definitely need to try it. I was devoted to waxing for ages, but after one threading treatment, I was hooked. Several years later, my brows look just as good as the first time I tried it. Does threading hurt? Sure, but so does waxing. I'd say the pain is abut equal between the two, the difference being that waxing is one or two big OUCH!!! pains and threading is more drawn out over a few minutes. The results though are totally worth it. Unlike waxing threading gets a perfectly clean, sharp line. Waxing tends to "grab" random hairs that aren't in the part you're trying to remove, sometimes leaving long time waxers with bald spots. No good! Threading will give you a crazy perfect line. I get compliments on my brows all the time and I tell everyone the same thing: THREADING! It's like all the Bollywood girls and their perfect brows- it's all due to threading. The folks at Patel's are total dolls and work faster than you'd believe. I'm from Bakersfield, so I'm a regular at the Bakersfield location (WHICH HAS A NEW ADDRESS, DOWN THE STREET, BY HOME DEPOT!-- 4125 Ming Ave.) I have also been to two of the Vegas locations and gotten just as great service. read more

The lady did an ok job, my eyebrows were a lil crooked but it is what it is. I used my Debit card to pay and there last didn't tell me that they charge $4.00 to use it. She said it was $21 for full facial threading ,I handed her a tip and when I looked at my bank statement I was charged $4 more. Won't be going back here again. read more

Due to Covid19, i haven't been able to get my brows done. Luckily, today i was able to get seen. This is my first time at this establishment and i was impressed with my brows. I'm usually very picky about my brows, but i will for sure come back to get seen with Ritu. She was also very kind and provided great service! This is my new favorite brow place! read more

Ritu is amazing! My daughters always only want her to thread their eye brows! She is gentle and so very sweet! She does a fabulous job and I wouldn't take my girls anywhere else! My oldest is 13 and she always asks me to go see Ritu for her touch up! See you this weekend Ritu! Have to get the girls cleaned up before the holiday! Happy Friday! Brittany Dunham read more

Jesse is amazing!! Very sweet, fast and ALWAYS does a awesome job!!! She's the only one I trust! read more

Amazing place! I've been getting my eyebrows there for 2 years ! Absolutely love all the labors there. They do great work on my brows! Never had a my brows ruined. They are kind and they are affordable. To clean up the eye brows it cost $10. Always leave happy with my brows. read more

Pal did my eyebrows and lip. She's fast and very friendly. This is the only place I've been to and I don't feel a need to go any where else. I highly recommend it. I've been twice and have never experienced a wait. read more

I got my eyebrows done here on New Years Eve. The only lady that was there did not do so great. She actually made them skinnier. The starting of my eyebrows became different from eachother and while threading, the thread constantly kept breaking. I was very disappointed. read more

Just moved to town and one of the first things I did was to find a local threading salon. I've been getting my eyebrows threaded for 10 years at different salons in Cali and NY and I've never had a problem. I always let them know before they start that I don't like my brows thin and they always comply. Sometimes they even thread both brows just a little and have me look and ask if I want them any thinner. I have always been happy with the result. So, as I sat down I told the woman, "I dont' like them thin" she smiled and nodded and went to work. When I got up and looked in the mirror my eyebrows were pencil thin. The woman says, "you like?" and I responded, that they were thinner than I wanted. She looked at me again and smiled and said, "you like?" Yeah, she spoke no English and had no idea what I was saying. At that point I just said, "No, I don't" and then the woman working the next chair translated what I was saying. I'm guessing she was the owner because she then repeatedly apologized to me. I paid my money and told them both that if she didn't speak English it would have been nice if she just said so and asked for someone to translate. Another thing I noticed that makes me reluctant to go back is that they seemed to use the same brush on each customer to brush the hairs off of your face and eyes. Every other threading salon I've been to uses tissues which is much more sanitary. It's not life threatening but conjunctivitis (pink eye) is highly contagious. I also thought the price was a bit high, $10 for brows only, I paid $7 in NYC, but there's more competition there so I guess it's understandable and I have no problem paying that if they do good work. As annoyed as I was with this experience, I might try them again because there don't seem to be many threading salons in town (if you know if others let me know!). I'll just make sure I get a different person to work on me. Bottom line: make sure your threader understands what you're saying and bring your own tissues. read more

The ladies are very efficient. They remembered that my husband was with me on last visit! I've been going to them for over 12 years. I first visited their establishment when they were at Valley Plaza. I also have gone to the Niles St. location. They are so very nice at each location. Their work is very nice and I always get compliments on my brows. read more

My boyfriend just moved here for work and we went to check out the local mall. I was pleased to find this place, wasnt expecting it at all. They were very quick and my experience was painless. You just walk in take a number and wait for your number to be called. I am def going to come here again for my threading needs when visiting him. The prices where also the same as what I have seen in LA. read more

This place is great! I've been coming to them for years! I first discovered them when they were in the Valley Plaza Mall. They are always so sweet and quick! Definitely recommend them! read more

I used to have a lady and she used to do a great job and would finish in two minutes but now they have two new women..one of them is still training cause my brows looked like crap and it took her forever to finish and the other one is SO RUDE! I went to pay her for my brows and upper lip (14$) and then she says "what about my tip?" With the angriest voice. I always give tips but she needs to know that tip is optional, even if I didn't give it to her, it was my right. Stop asking your customers for tips, because of that I will not be going back. read more

In one word: satisfactory. I wasn't happy with my eyebrow shape and thought they looked slightly uneven, but I understand I can't have perfectly symmetrical eyebrows. Also I was trying this as an alternative to waxing just to see. I did not think the pain was that much different. I'm not compelled enough to switch to threading permanently but I might come back to try it once more. The ambience was good, I went at an uncrowded time so it was pleasant, and my threader was very polite. read more

Went to get henna with a friend. And we felt uncomfortable and the lady wasn't good at it. I went in with a design on my phone and she couldn't do it. Horrible experience. read more

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL!!!!! McDonald's arches!!!! disgusting! andddd my cousin goes in all the time & that's all she does McDonald's arches!!!!! plus the lady once had the other worker make a phone call, put it on speaker and while she was threading she was talking on the phone! how the hell do u talk and have thread in your mouth at the same time? horrible horrible horrible!! read more

I have been going for about 2 years now I have always liked their service u walk in and walk out my eyebrows look perfect I don't kno about the henna tho I haven't had that done but I am planning on it sometime soon I always recommend patels to my friends that like threading :) read more

Gets the job done. New location has more privacy then when they were located at the mall.

Rudest service ever! From the moment I walked in the door. Brow work was quick and looks good, but I was so put off by their attitudes I didn't care to request my free lip threading... nor did she offer. Too bad I will never return because the threading options in town are limited. read more

I cannot comment on the threading services; however, I got a henna tattoo there that was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. My henna tattoo was extremely sloppy; if I had the henna I could have done better myself. The pix on their website must be purchased photos; either that or the "real" henna artist was off duty and they just let whoever serve me so as not to lose the sale, (big mistake). I have had henna tattoos many times; I have had beautiful work done for a fraction of what they charged me in this shop, (Valley Plaza location). I have no problem "paying the price" for good artwork, I understand that this artwork is a talent; however, it is a talent not possessed by the woman who did my foot & leg..... had to wear long pants and closed shoes until it wore off.... EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. read more

I've been going to Patel Threading since last year. I always get my eyebrow Threading and upper lip done from Ritu. She is really sweet, fast, Trustworthy, and NEVER mess-up my eyebrow. She always give me perfect shape. RITU is AWESOME... read more

Wow...worst experience ever! The lady that assisted us was very rude. My daughter and I came here based on reviews for threading. The threading itself was satisfactory, but I will never spend my money here again because of their attitudes! read more

I love this place and the price is great. I like having thicker eyebrows and they do such a great job of both shaping and keeping my eyebrows thick. I am always getting compliments on them. I have to admit it really hurts. At least for me. But as painful as it is they do them fast and the pain is gone as soon as they stop. Definitely worth it! read more
