My eyebrow threading experience has been limited - Berkeley and at the Ziba chain in SoCal.
My eyebrows were in some serious need of grooming and Bollywood Salon was conveniently what I was looking for. They are currently offering a promotion for $5 eyebrow threading if you're a first time customer! Sweet! (It's $10 after that.) Yesterday, they were a bit busier and there was about a 30 minute wait, but today I was able to walk in and out in no time.
Sandra, the owner, was the one who did my threading. She had me sit in one of the reclining chairs and got to work. (I've only sat in those reclining chairs while getting my eyebrows threaded, and have never been to a place where you get to lie down for it.)
She was quite particular with shaping and clean up, more thorough than what I've experienced before. It definitely seemed like she expected to see me again, which goes in her favor for giving a neighborly feel. And yes, it was a tad bit painful, but I'd choose threading over waxing any day!
They are also offering a promotion of a free haircut when you get a highlight or color done. Men's haircuts are also $10 each.
Overall, I was pleased with my experience and probably return.
