| - I really hate to demote my review for this place because I've been coming here for about 4 years now, usually once a month or so to get my eyebrows/lip threaded. I've been coming here exclusively, and in fact this is the only place I've ever had my eyebrows threaded. I live within walking distance of this place, but I think I may be looking for a new place to get my eyebrows done which is kind of annoying. But there's just been certain things building up over time that make me feel as if I could do better, and I'm kind of tired of certain annoyances.
The price is cheap for threading, and they've actually renovated the inside within the past year so it looks great inside now. I've really never cared about how it looks in here though, I've just cared about the cheap and quick threading and the fact that this place is literally walking distance from me.
I actually credit this place with helping me to develop better brows in the first place. When I first started coming her several years ago, I had never gotten my brows done and had over plucked them into something really ugly. Over time, with my pretty much never touching them again, and getting threaded about once a month they slowly grew back into a much better, natural shape. Most of the threadings I've had here have been great, and I've never gone to just one girl. I go in each time and just get whoever has been available, and I'd say 90% of the time I've been super happy. The last couple times though, I felt like they've gone a bit thinner than I like, and some girls are a bit gentler than others and give a really nice short massage at the end of your threading with the soothing gel. But the reason I think I'm going to stop coming here doesn't have as much to do with the threading, but because they've become really pushy trying to sell facials in the past year or so.
About a year ago, Pushpa, the owner of the salon, talked me into getting a Hydrafacial. I had been curious about this facial for awhile, I've had friends who had gotten it done at other places. I do have some occasional breakouts on my face, and the techs would make comments occasionally and Pushpa noticed which is why she suggested me the Hydrafacial. I had it done, and wasn't thrilled with the results. She also pushed a few products on me which I didn't love. Overall, I felt it was a waste of money *for me* - I'm not saying the Hydrafacial doesn't work for some people, but I know what works for my skin generally, and yes, I do have breakouts sometimes but I'm just getting annoyed with every time I go to get my brows done the tech or Pushpa pointing it out, and trying to pressure me into getting facials. Honestly, I just want to go in and get my brows done, not feel annoyed with having to decline more services every time and have one or two pimples on my forehead pointed out.
The last time I went in, they tried to convince me to book a facial again and actually asked me if I wanted to pay ahead of time...this just really annoyed me and even though this place is within walking distance of me, I just think I might need to try elsewhere. Maybe I'll even love the threading results more at another place, seeing as this is the only place I've been.
Overall, I wouldn't necessarily discourage someone from coming here for threading. They generally do a good job and it's quick and cheap. I'm just personally getting annoyed with the upselling on facials and comments from the owner and a couple techs...so I think I'm going to have to look for a new place.
