I love my fellow Yelp!-ers for helping me find Rambha aka the end of ripping my skin out for the sake of not looking like a mustached man with a uni-brow. I never tried threading, but then again, I never lived in Tempe, so I thought, While I've got a trend of doing new things going on, why not try out this threading business? Well, let me tell you: threading/Rambha is AWESOME. It's such a strange feeling for first-timers, but it doesn't hurt, and it's so much less mess and less fuss than waxing. I went to get my brows and upper lip threaded, and the result was a great look minus the pain, minus the remaining sticky residue, and plus the rest of my day to go out to enjoy instead of hiding out to shield society from having to be alarmed by my red, swollen face.
The only downside from my experience was that Rambha answered a phone call during my session and proceeded to converse for the next 5-10-ish minutes while leaving me to just hang out. I thought that was kind of unprofessional, but it wasn't a deal breaker cuz I'll be back. Plus, if going back means the possibility of seeing this guy I saw there in his two-sided puss n' boots t-shirt again, I'm so there.
Note: Rambha only takes cash or check, but she prefers cash (who doesn't?). Once you enter the salon, be sure to walk down the hallway to the left because that's where Rambha's little section sits. You can try to follow the instructions upon walking into the salon by using the electronic registering service, but I did, and it did nothing. I just waited until Rambha came out to get coffee and just happened to ask if I was waiting for something. If you want some prices for threading, here you go:
