    I have been going to Riya Beauty Parlor for as long as I can remember except when I was out of state & trust me, NEVER found hands that worked the same magic as the ladies here. They always shape my eyebrows in the most perfect way - never too thin, not too much space between to make them unnatural (I had a disaster of a wax once) & always open to feedback & going the extra step for a very very reasonable price (no way I can justify some of the prices I've seen lakeside as an Oakland resident). & yes, I now travel from Oakland to see the ladies here & in the past drove from Hayward because it was absolutely worth it.

    No one in the bay area can do eyebrows like Kanchan and Happy- hands down the best brow shapers I have ever met.

    I have always been extremely particular about my eyebrows. Before moving to the States, I saw a…read moreprofessional wax aesthetician every month, so when I arrived here, my first mission was to find a brow artist who could truly rival the one I had in Beijing, and Anita did exactly that. I've now had my brows done by Anita three times, all with threading (I was curious to try something new instead of my usual waxing). Her technique is consistently impressive. She shapes my brows in a way that feels clean, refined, and very natural for my face. Plus, the shape consistently lasts for about a month before needing a touch-up. On top of her skill, Anita is also incredibly warm and kind. She finishes the service with a soft, soothing massage, and the vibe in the salon is calm and relaxing too. If you're someone who has high standards for your brows, you really won't regret coming to see Anita.

    I highly recommend Anita to take care of your brows, especially if, like me, you've never had your…read moreeyebrows done professionally. She is sweet, professional, and meticulous, with over a decade of experience, and she consults with you every step of the way to ensure you're comfortable with the process and results. I've always worried about symmetry, shape and visibility of my blonde brows, and the discussion of "eyebrow blindness" on social media really pushed me to see a professional. I researched several highly rated eyebrow shaping salons, but many had a common theme: while some staff members were praised, high turnover made the results unpredictable. I chose Anita because she's the owner and the only one handling the work. I first contacted Anita to let her know I had no idea what services I needed (Wax? Threading? Tinting? Lamination?) but she said I could just book an appointment and she could change services if needed once we discussed in person. I was nervous about going to someone for the first time, but Anita listened to my concerns and put me at ease. She recommended keeping my fullness, explained she wouldn't go too thin, and I was confident she knew what she was doing. She recommended starting with the basics, and explained that lamination might be unnecessary. She suggested waxing for initial shaping, followed by threading for precision, and a light tint to define my brows without going too dark. Throughout, she worked carefully in cycles, letting me inspect the progress, comparing to before photos, and meticulously refining the shape until it was perfect. Waxing was not as painful as I expected, and she applied soothing aloe after. Threading was not at all painful. Waxing made my skin a bit red for a while afterwards, but I was going directly home afterwards so it didn't matter to me. I was nervous about tinting, but Anita explained the process, ensuring the shade wouldn't be too bold and said she could keep wiping to lighten if necessary. She said it would continue to fade and only lasts about 12 days, so I wasn't worried about a commitment if I didn't end up liking it. After the reveal, it initially seemed darker than I expected, and she offered to lighten, but after she showed me the before-and-after photos, I realized it was only a subtle change and I just wasn't used to it. The entire session, including tinting, took about 45 minutes and cost $60 ($40 for initial shaping and $20 tint), very reasonable cost for such personalized care. I've already received a bunch of complements on my brows, and am very happy with them. Anita's office is quiet and cozy, tucked inside an office complex (Salon Republic), and she plays soothing music while she works. For initial shaping or just need periodic upkeep, Anita will be my go-to for brows. And she also offers other services, like full body waxing.
