Fast and accurate! Walked in and out within 5 min. I need to leave a few more words here, or Yelp will not turn this into a full review. So, here you are, Yelp. read more

This is my go to spot for facial threading. They're close by and the prices are affordable. You have to check very well to make sure they didn't leave any hair behind and they're gonna go over that spot again. read more

I am SO happy to find a place like this near SF. There is NO WHERE in SF that does threading (ok, one place that charges $22! Give me a break!). Here its only $8 for a GREAT job! With tip, toll and gas, I still am saving money. More so, I love getting my eyebrows threaded, it looks way better than any other method! GO HERE. read more

This place is simple and inexpensive. I like it much better than Riya. The threading is reliable. Just be careful to put enough money in the parking meter - those Berkeley parking attendants are notorious! read more

I finally found my eyebrow spot! I stopped in on a Sunday morning, and was in and out in under 20 minutes. I told the lady I just wanted my natural arch cleaned up, and she followed my requests to a tee. Friendly service+ inexpensive+good work= Happy Me! read more

I've been going here for years to get my eye brows threaded and they are great and very reasonable for the price...plus I never have to wait more than 5 minutes which is great because I HATE waiting for anything! read more

I've only been to two eyebrow threading places, this one and some random location in a mall. This place is fantastic. I get my eyebrows and upper lip done. The pain on the upper lip is so great, but I bear through it. Automatically, tears are running down my face and I'm a mess. My eyebrows don't hurt at all. I only go when I'm in dire need of shaping it, when I've let the eyebrows run too wild to just maintain on my own. The last time I went, it was so quick...Saturday afternoon drop-in. She did eyebrows and lips at the same time. The eyebrows have a very nice shape. The place got busy fast, but due to their efficiency, I don't think it would take too long to get through everyone. read more

I'm very particular when it comes to my eyebrows, since I'm new to the area, I decided to yelp eyebrow places and Priya Beauty Salon caught my attention. I went in very nervous and expecting the worst, but I was pleasantly surprised. Priya is pretty inexpensive and they actually know what they're doing. Most places don't take into consideration that both eyebrows aren't the same, but Priya does. Most threading places don't do a great job and a week later a majority of the hair grows back, but not here. It's been three weeks since I've gotten my brows done and they still look amazing, I will def be back here! read more

That's where I get my eyebrows done. Kamla is the best! She works here Wednesdays and Saturdays I believe. She is patient and does an amazing job. Every time after she finishes I look into the mirror and I am like, "Wow." Seriously. I think that should be the bar for threading! read more

Love this place for consistent manicures and perfect threading. I applaud the owner for discouraging me from getting acryilics. Friendly, quick and convenient. read more

I went here for a facial and full-leg waxing. The girl who worked on me was young and seemed inexperienced - she took several pulls to get the wax out on the same area and so on. It also took a very long time, because she would leave the room to do and do eyebrows of other customers from time to time! (I had booked an apptmt). Also on the facial, she was careless and untrained and did not have quite the soft touch that I would have liked. I repeatedly asked her to avoid my eye area because I wear contacts and dont want the cream to get in my eyes. Even though my eyes were closed throughout, the vigorous rubbing, got a little cream in and I had to rinse them out. She repeatedly forgot and would rub over my eye and when I mentioned it each time, she was nice enough to say 'oops-sorry!' and leave out the eye area, but invariably in a few minutes would do it again. In short, she was careless, but pleasant. The facial took a long time and was pretty comprehensive (steam, cream, pack, the works). The big pro: its cheap! If anyone can recommend another salon that's at the same price level for leg-waxing though, I'd switch in an instant! read more

I went in this past Friday around 5pm, and only one person was there. As soon as I got up to leave there were three people seated. I guess this is a popular spot! No complaints...$8 to get my eyebrows threaded, you can't beat that! I'll be back Priya thanks! =) read more

Great experience as a walk in. Got my whole face threaded for $27 ...bargain and no wax rash. I will be back!

So I was too lazy to drive to Fremont to get my eyebrows threaded at my regular place, so I logged on to Yelp to find one closer. The place was easy to find, & had metered parking right out front. I walked in and went straight to a chair. I didn't catch the name of my technician, but she had long dark beautiful black hair and sat me in the middle. She took longer than I'm used to, going back and forth to each eyebrow. They came out ok. I've had much better, and much worse. She changed the shape of one, so now one is rounded where the other is squared. Also, one is longer than the other. I only experience this problem when I don't go to my regular salon. You live, you learn. read more

I came in to get waxed. I was attracted to the cheaper prices of this salon compared to others. I requested a lip, underarm, and bikini wax but I only ended up getting the lip and underarm because the first two were quite painful. I came in on a Friday and the threaders were pretty busy. There were 2 threaders and only one lady who was working both the nail station and waxing area. Not going to lie, the place was a bit dirty. The waxing tools looked unattended to, and she definitely re-dipped while she was waxing. But, I mean you get what you pay for... Overall, the staff is friendly, and the prices are cheap. read more

They were really nice from the moment I walked in until I left. I initially went in for eyebrow waxing but after discovering that they only threaded eyebrows, I tried getting them threaded for the first time. I must say, my eyebrows look GREAT! I'm very pleased with the final result & I will be back. read more

Called around 12:45 on a Saturday and asked if I could come in right away. The woman on the phone was super nice and said to come on down. I rolled in about 5 minutes later, parked right in front, was greeted and then seated right away. I was in and out in about 10 minutes and the woman who saw me did a great job! Will totally come back again. read more

This is the best waxing place I have been to. I have extremely sensitive skin and the lady here who happens to be the owner does a fantastic job. She's very careful in not ripping the cloth of your skin. This is definitely the most pain free experience I've had! read more

I Love Priya on Univ. Quick, thorough only 8 bucks for threading (brows). they only get 4 stars though because it is very no-frills. but you can get a quick eyebrow job (less than 10 mins) for cheap! sooo worth it. read more

I got my eyebrow threaded for the first time here. The line was long and a lot of people frequent this place. The 2 women threading everyone was working quickly and shuttling people in and out. Which was part impressive but definitely showed that they cannot spend too much time on one person. I thought it was a great bargain for the price. $9 for eyebrows. Sheila, my threading person, told me that my eyebrow hairs were too short on one side and maybe that had something to do with it, but my eyebrows weren't really shaped. They just looked boxy. But I may go again when they may be less busy. I went on Friday at noon. read more

I had my eyebrows done there in an emergency since cole was not available at Benefits, which is a place on 4th street. I came to Priya and waited only as long as it took to finish the customers ahead of me. I was conscious that I had not called ahead or made an appointment so I didn't expect anyone to get to me quickly. When it was my turn the girl seemed pleasant enough but not as "chatty" as some of the other places I go to. She was all about the task. She got to it right away. And she did an excellent job. But if someone asks did it hurt? I would say, "absolutely" it hurt like the dickens. And it hurt even after I left the shop. No warning would have mattered but it was a surprise. The prices are good, so I might check them out again. read more

Very bad service.....Carmela does not know how to do threading at all.. They dont know how to talk to customer. Very rude people I would never recommend anyone to come here for any service, they are inexperienced. There are many other good beauty saloons in Berkeley that you should prefer over this. I guess i am more disturbed because i never availed such a bad service in my life. read more

My comment is in response to a 10/24/2009 post from Stephanie C. Priya does henna hair color, but not henna "tattoo" and perhaps the tattoo henna was what the African American couple was looking for? I walked into Priya a few weeks ago and asked for Henna/Mehndi for my daughters hands and I was directed to the store just accross the street. Fast forward two weeks and we are now ready to have the henna done. I couldn't remember the name of the henna place, so I called Priya and asked again "Do you do henna?" and the reply was "Yes, for your hair?" and when I explained what I was looking for they kindly gave me the phone number of the store next door because they don't do Mehndi henna. I think folks need be to clear about what they are looking. I wouldn't go into a butcher shop and ask for a steak and then become offended when they sent me to the restaurant next door when they realized that what I was really looking for was a cooked steak. Just keeping it all in perspective and not jumping to any unfair conclusions that could be damaging to a small business that is actually doing a fine job of referring inquiries. read more

I have been getting bikini waxes with Lisa for years. She is very friendly and pleasant, knows my name, and is very quick. The place is not fancy but it's very inexpensive, and it's easy to get an appointment or walk in. I recommend it highly. read more

Took my daughter and her friend in for henna tattoos ... they got us in quickly, the artist was very talented, and they even squeezed in a quick mani for me while I waited. Great experience - will be back! read more

I've been getting my eyebrows threaded here off and on for about 4 years. It's a hole in the wall that could be a hit or miss depending on who's chair you sit in. But my most recent experience was awesome! The woman I had did a wonderful job. I told her exactly what I wanted and she gave me exactly that. Great service! read more

Hi Everyone, I just found shelo in Facebook her account name is "shelo shilo" if anyone is trying reach her. Its a best way to find her. Thanks!! read more

i'm from LA and have been looking everywhere for a good threading place in the Bay Area. I've been getting my eyebrows threaded since I was about 13 and was surprised to have such a difficult time finding a good place for threading in SF. Most places here are RIDICULOUSLY overpriced (i would never pay more than $12 for threading!!!). Priya's charges $9 for eyebrow threading and EVERY SINGLE PERSON that has threaded my eyebrows there has done a remarkable job. It is the least painful threading I have EVER experienced and the women that work there are very sweet and attentive. I live in SF, but I make my way over to Berkeley just to get my eyebrows done. Love this place. read more

Ask for Shilo--she is the best. People who are regulars here seek her out first. I made the mistake once of getting my eyebrows threaded by another lady and she shaped my eyebrows lopsided that even Shilo asked who did them. No one is perfect, nonetheless consistent when it comes to threading hours and hours on end so don't expect to get 'the perfect' eyebrows. Even by the best. Shilo has even made mistakes once in a while. Regardless, I still go to her every 2 weeks. read more

Good solid threading with a smile. Sometimes crowded especially on weekends. Price is reasonable. Got my brows done before my wedding and they did a great job. read more

The only thing I've gotten done here is my eyebrows, and they do an amazing job ! Threading is the best thing I've ever tried for my eyebrows. My mom once got a pedicure and they didn't do such a great job. But I definitely recommend going there for their threading ! read more

I've been going there for 3 years now. Sheelu is my girl now. Sona is gone....they don't do free eyebrow threading with a mani/pedi anymore, but it's cool. They all know me by name now and they are pretty good about keeping appointments, which is nice. :) read more

This place is no frills, just business. The only thing I go here for is threading. Not sure if I would go here for anything else... and everyone that I have seen come in while I'm waiting only comes for threading as well. They are a full service salon. I come in every other Monday around noon and I get threaded by Sony (I thing that's how to spell her name). She's sweet, and usually does a good job. Last time though, she took off some skin and she screwed up one of my eyebrows, but that was only one time out of the 10+ times I been there. It's hella cheap, only $13 for upper lip and eyebrow threading. Not bad! It's better than plucking or waxing... definitley try to get threaded at least once... I swear you'll never go back to any other way of facial hair removal! Def recommend this place to others. read more

Definitely not about the ambience, but definitely 5 star eyebrows! I have people ask me who does my brows all the time. I tell them go to Priya, and ask for Dolly. She shapes the best, she is very very quick, and there is no damage. I've had 2 other girls there do my brows, and have in both cases had some cuts a day or two after the threading that looked like someone punched me in the eye, a little cut type of injury, this has never happened with Dolly- she is a pro. read more

Best place to get threaded in the east bay--and for 1/3 of the price of most other places. Since I've been going there I can go an extra week in between threadings (I think because they are so thorough). You don't have tweeze once you get home after going here! read more

I go here solely for the near-campus convenience. The fatter woman who always looks angry IS angry. During a threading, she repeatedly slapped my face for no apparent reason. I specifically never let her near me. read more

For a no frills, quick but thorough threading experience, this place is it for me. Dolly is the Indian lady - an Asian lady performed threading on me before (forgot her name - she may not even work there anymore) but she was not as thorough as Dolly on my upper lip, although she gave me an arch that I liked slightly better. Dolly also gives a great shape, removes any hairs from in between the brows and even trims them as well. She makes sure all the fuzz from your upper lip has been removed too. I used to park in the metered spaces on 7th Street but if you drive a bit further - like literally one or two houses down - there is free street parking. Evenings MAY get a bit crowded, but she's quick. $8 for brows and I think it's still $5 for upper lip. read more

If you want good eyebrow with less pain then this is a good place.BUT no courtesy at all.A girl who did my eyebrow didnot even ask me what I wanted to do .After I was done she didnot even said I am done.Just left the place.Forget about thank you and have a good day.Common we are paying there should be some manners. read more

Today was my first time there. The gal was quick and listened to my request kindly. The place is not fancy, but worth it.

First time here and I'm very pleased! She took her time and did a great job, the cost was $9 for eyebrows.
