RB’s Threading Studio

Worst eyebrow threading experience. The person doing it was clearly inexperienced. She took a very long time, caused more than usual pain and messed up the shape. I also have cut marks under my eyebrows. They did not have the decency to admit their mistake and made it clear that they dint care for customers who did not buy their package deal or visited the studio often. The obnoxious owner just made the whole experience a lot more frustrating. NEVER GOING BACK!!!

The lady was really nice and she did my brows super quick! She didn’t over do it. I’m happy with the results! However, she charged $ 16 for just eyebrows. I usually pay $ 8 for eyebrow threading in San Jose. So that was the only think I was disappointed about.

I just went there less than an hour ago for my eyebrows. She was very patient and nice to me. Eyebrow threading cost $ 16. I forgot to tip her because I was in a rush and all, but will definitely make up for it next time. Thanks!

I come here frequently. The employees are always friendly and very fast! I rarely have to wait, and even then it’s only for a few minutes. A little expensive but not as bad as many other threading places on the peninsula.

I come to this place every so often. It’s a little pricy. Most of the time I go out of my way to get my eyebrows threaded somewhere else. But the last time I came in, I was really satisfied with the way my eyebrows looked when I left.
I have been growing my eyebrows out for almost 2 months now, so that I can reshape. For someone with a scar on one eyebrow that doesn’t allow hair to grow, this isn’t easy at all. And normally when I go to other places to get them done, they usually come out too thin. I told the lady not to thread the top and just focus on the extra hair on the bottom. My eyebrows are coming along very nicely and I feel good knowing that I can go here and not have to worry about my eyebrows coming out too thin. Even though it’s more pricey than I’d like, I’ll be coming back in a week or two.

This review is as painful to write as it is to look in the mirror and see my hideous eyebrows. While this will be my fourth and last visit, the three visits prior have been exceptional and it was all due to one YOUNG woman (whose name I’ve forgotten). She was great! She was professional, sweet, quick but thorough, and really listened to what I wanted. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about today’s experience. Upon showing up, I was surprised to see another (older) woman but seeing as I was so happy with their service I figured she would be fine. I called in to assure I would be seen as soon as I got there and as quickly as I was taken, so were my beautiful, bushy eyebrows. Today, I essentially have no brows. I am brow-​less. The state of my eyebrows take me back to my middle school years of experimenting and some how ending up with lines for brows. But I’m wiser now. Since then, I’ve had a lot of practice with learning how to perfect/​fill in my eyebrows but now I’m forced to take on a different art form: drawing on a new set of eyebrows!
All dramatics aside, I am so unhappy with how my eyebrows turned out. Because I was pressed for time, I really didn’t have an opportunity to examine the damage or discuss how truly upset I was. I may be at fault for not disclosing to her how I specifically prefer my eyebrows (thick and true to its natural shape with a little arch), but with that being said what she did to my eyebrows is something I’m almost certain most young women my age don’t want. They want full-​looking eyebrows. They want natural-​looking eyebrows. In today’s world of social media, you can’t escape the millions of images and videos of «the perfect brow». My brows are no where near perfect all because of this OLDER woman. I hope the women of this business take notice of my review and the reviews alike. This place is promising but there is a lot of work to be done. Thanks but no thanks!

Extremely quick and and did an excellent job. My sensitive skin did not have any of the normal reaction from waxing and threading! I definitely plan to return soon!

Decided to try this place out because it had such great reviews. I had grown my brows out hoping for a nice clean up! DISASTER. I specifically asked to keep my brows thick and just wanted a clean up and trim. I now have thin, lopsided eyebrows and one is thinner near my nose than the arc of my brow! Not coming back.

I have been coming here for threading for longer than I can imagine. Not just threading, even body waxing and henna too! Its always clean and organized inside and the girls are very friendly. The prices in my opinion are quite reasonable, compared to other places at least, plus the work is well deserved. What I like about them is that they will really work with the client to help them get the desired shape for the brow. They take their time to really make sure the client is satisfied. Brows always come out beautifully shaped and arched! If you haven’t tried this place out, go for it! Don’t miss out. Plus, who doesn’t want sexy brows? :)

After reading all the reviews I wanted to try this place out. I thought I read that someone walked out of here with an eyebrow and lip thread for $ 15 and I though ok that’s a decent price! I guess it was my fault for not checking before I got the services done but it came out to $ 22. I’m sorry but that’s a little too much! The regular place I usually go to is $ 5 for lip & $ 5 for eyebrow. Granted I wanted to try this shop because it was closer to school and the other shop I go to is across the San Mateo bridge closer to my house. My eyebrows looked good but I noticed later she didn’t thread my upper lip that well… I just feel like she didn’t take her time with me. I literally walked in, sat on the chair for 2 minutes, and walked out.

This place is a little charm! I regularly run errands at the shop right next to this parlor and I was so happy when I found out they accept walk-​ins! I had a 20 minute break, so I decided to get my eyebrows threaded because I have never tried it before and they really needed a trim. The girl was incredibly quick and precise, it was clearly obvious that she’s very experienced. Naturally, it hurt a bit, but the result was stunning. Overall, it only took 5 minutes! I’ll definitely come back here from now on every time I need to trim my eyebrows and I’ll recommend it to other people as well.

The first few times I was here, this place was a hit or miss with respect to threading — sometimes I would come back with great eyebrows and once I came back with such a bad cut on my eyebrow that even after it healed, the mark was visible for months (should have written a review at that time with a photo of the cut)…The service was always good and because it was conveniently located on my way home from work, I decided to keep this place as a backup.
Then the other day I walked in and two new ladies were doing the threading — this time service was so bad and the threading was so painful that I decided not to even keep this place as a backup. Thankfully I had the sense to tell them that I wanted only my upper lip and chin done and not my eyebrows — I thought I should try the new lady before entrusting my eyebrows to her (if you ask for eyebrow threading along with other threading services, people usually do the eyebrows first and then if they are bad, you are screwed). Once she was done with my upper lip, I was so so glad that I had not asked for my eyebrows to be done.

I used to go to the ibar in Palo Alto, but one time I just had a horrible experience there and frankly was getting tired of a bunch of different women doing my eyebrows, so I started to look for a different/​better place.
My mom and I love RB Threading Studio! Ruchi is amazing at threading and always keeps my eyebrows looking amazing! My mom and I will never go anywhere else again now that we’ve found RB threading studio. Ruchi is also amazing at henna, and does it right in the studio or can host henna parties, which is pretty cool. RB studio is located on El Camino in Belmont and always has parking right in front, so it is extremely convenient.

As an esthetician I’ve always waxed my own brows or had co-​workers do them for me. NOTHING tops these Ladies with Threading, the first time I went in I was so fascinated with the process and technique. I haven’t waxed since (about 3 months) I will always continue to thread my brows now. RBs 5 out of 5! Painless, quick and results of freshly threaded brows are amazing!

They do a good job threading
Reason for the bad review is the poor service. In addition, they never open on time or stay open as late as they say.
Most people are on schedules and would like to be able to go to a business when it’s «supposedly open.»
I called no answer. Another time I called and they said they were there and I let them now I was almost there. Ten minutes later I pull up and the door is locked.

I love coming here. The ladies are always nice and do a great job, plus it’s quick! I also love the fact that threading is more sanitary than traditional wax hair removal – ick on double dipping! I usually just do upper lip. I never trust anyone with my eyebrows but I did once here and I was pretty pleased with them, although I still prefer to do them myself. I highly recommend RB’s. If ur curious about threading, go for it! You’ll never look back.
Side note, they just remodeled and the studio looks amazing!

Just a quick update…
It’s been several months since my first visit and I am just as happy with the service today as I was with my first visit. The speed and quality continue to be top notch. Could not be happier!

Love this place! I can’t so chemicals so I rely on threading. Clean, fast and thorough. Highly recommend!

It took 4 minutes, it cost $ 15 (+tip), and now I legit have some pretty enviable brows.
Brow maintenance is super important to someone like me who was not blessed with beauteous, dark, full brows. My brows are patchy, kinda grey and super pointy all over. I’ve basically got the brows of a fairy tale evil witch (a gross one… not Maleficent, because obvi that bitch’s brows are to die for) and it’s certainly something I’m always looking to offset.
I’d been looking around the area for a brow place that might be able to help me tame my mess and I think I’ve finally found my place. It’s small, it’s anything but fancy, and their hours aren’t the greatest if you’ve got a 9 – 5, but my gal did a magnificent job.
I went in and instead of me just sitting down and letting the threader do whatever, I spoke up and told her exactly what my goal brow was and that I was working towards fuller, less patchy brows with an ultra clean shape. I don’t think they would’ve asked what I wanted if I hadn’t just outright told them, but I was also thinking that there was still about an 80% chance that my threader would just do whatever she felt like anyway so there really wasn’t much to lose on my end.
The end result: Exactly what I had asked for. My brows were basically the most perfect they’ve been in a looong time and I left feeling mostly human again, or at least less ogre. I’ll definitely be going back every few weeks to keep up on the maintenance and make my brows less crazy evil witch and more, eccentric evil witch with maybe some good bone structure.

Let’s cut to the chase…
Pros:
— quick eyebrow threading (in and out in 10 minutes or less)
— $ 15 for eyebrows threading
— nice job on cleaning up with eyebrows
Cons:
— it’s not the most professional place I’ve been to… And by that, I mean that I received poor service.
— street parking can be difficult depending on what time of day it is.
I might return to give it another try, especially since coming here from home was convenient, and again, they did a great job. Maybe I came in on a bad day? We all have those, right?
