Savarna Threading and Beauty Studio

I have blonde eyebrows, so I went in for threading and a tint, which I have done many times at many places. Unfortunately, the «tint» was in powder form that appeared dark, but came off hours later. I was confused, as I have always gotten the traditional eyebrow dye at every other place. However, this powder was not effective at all, and QUITE expensive. Like I said, I have blonde hair and not a lot of eyebrow, and this cost me $ 35. I have to go back tomorrow to see if they can re-​tint them. I normally don’t go back to the same place if I am not satisfied the first time, but I feel that I paid a lot of money for no result… so I must. Sigh.

Great experience. Be sure to get the 2 year membership it’s cheaper and earns you a great facial complimentary @ money well invested

I never have a bad experience here. Every once in awhile I run into a busy day and one person is working usually. I try to avoid weekends but sometimes no choice.

I was in the area for Memorial day weekend and desperately needed my eyebrows cleaned up. We came in on a Sunday and it was fairly busy, but only one person was working. I requested to have my eyebrows just «cleaned up» and not too thin. She ended up making them really thin. But kept my shape for the most part. She did a mediocre job, fortunately she didn’t mess up and take the whole thing off. I wouldn’t come back, but it’s not the worst place to go.

Love this place! Always very nice, quick and detailed! I totally suggest a membership because you will be back!

I’ve been having my eye brows threaded for years now. I’ve lived in many different states and have always had good experiences when it comes to having my eyebrows done– mainly because all I do is have them «cleaned up» now. Sure some times people mess up a bit– but nothing a little brow powder or pencil can’t fix, so it’s not a big deal… except for this place.
This place destroyed my eyebrows. I am missing half of my left eyebrow and part of the front of my brow, my right eyebrow has a slit down the middle and some of the tail of my eyebrow is completely gone. The powder they sell is HORRIBLE you’re better off dragging a sharpie across your eyebrows because it will probably look more natural than what they gave me.
I strongly advise you to stay away from this place. You are better off just shaving your eyebrows off and doing Chola Brows.

Tried threading for the first time. It was pretty good overall. Was welcomed in and the staff was very friendly. The woman who did my threading was very nice and it lasted several weeks. The only bad thing was that it did hurt. I think this was just like it hurts to tweeze or wax hair, you probably get used to it, but it hurt this first time. I also got some great moisturizer that doesn’t make me breakout so really happy about that. I will be going back.

I love this place and always tell friends about it. The staff here is great and the salon is very relaxing. Im please with results when i walk out.

I have been threading my eyebrows for about 12 years now at least monthly if not biweekly. I have been doing so at Savarna for the last 8 months. I had one bad experience in this time that also culminated in damage control by Ruwaidah and thus have never left unhappy. Yesterday, Ruwaidah was not in, Tripti was. I have never met her before but she also does a great job. Thus, if you go to Savarna, ask for Ruwaidah or Tripti and you shouldn’t be disappointed. Also, these girls want you to be pleased with your experience so when they hand you that mirror take a close look at your eyebrows and if you see something you don’t like or hair that you missed, tell them and they will take care of it. I always have to do that even with Ruwaidah and Tripti and I think that is just fine.

I came in town yesterday in preparation for a wedding and a big fan of eyebrow threading. After reading several reviews of the best location in town to get my brows done, I opted to choose Savarna as it was closest to my hotel, but the reviews were poor. Not being the one who always takes reviews to heart, I decided I’ll try the place and just ensure I tell the threader exactly what I wanted so there be no mistakes. After it was my turn for the threading and specifically telling the threader I wanted to keep my natural arch and just a clean up, mistakes were made after the first brow was done. I almost became irate about this as the person did not listen and had my brow completely off base in alignment. However, Ruwaidah saved the day and quickly assessed the situation and resumed the threading personally fixing the other threaders errors and ensuring the other brow was to my satisfaction. I was so thankful to her and her responsiveness to me as the customer. Lesson learned — Reviews are important to note about businesses to get an idea of their customer service satisfaction, but you can never be sure of how the business operates until you check it out yourself because everyone’s experience may be different. What could’ve been an eyebrow horror for me turned out to be a satisfied customer experience!

TRICKERY!!! I should have paid attention to the address. Wink no longer exists. It’s crappy ass Savarna. I’ve already made my hateful reviews of Savarna. Now I need to expand my search for yet another threading place.

While the place is nicely decorated, Be very careful when going here. The women were very nice, But I didn’t love my experience here. Most places that do threading ask you what design you want your eyebrows arched in. Well the woman who arched mines didn’t ask. Whats worse is when I looked in the mirror after the job was complete, I looked more like a cartoon character and less like myself. She gave me this weird shaped eyebrow, I hated it so much. Not to mention I have scratches around my eyebrow which is a first for me. I don’t like how she completely changed my eyebrows. I’d take the cuts since I have sensitive skin. But to look in the mirror and not recognize myself. well thats not a plus for me.

I had never had my eyebrows threaded but have heard great things. I tried this place only because I knew where it was. When I walked in there was 1 employee there who was sitting in a chair, talking on the phone. She asked if she could help me (while still on the phone). I said I wanted to have my eyebrows done and she stood up and motioned for me to sit. Then she put her phone on speaker phone, clipped it to her apron and began to do my eyebrows while still talking on the phone. She never asked how I would like them and I didnt get a chance to say anything before she started. It was a lot more painful than I thought it would be. She took the arch and shape away and left me with clean, yet unshapen brows. They look like boy eyebrows! She continued on the phone during the whole process and I had to listen to her friends crying baby in the background. When I went to pay she asked if I was a member; I guess members get a cheaper rate. No, Im not a member and no I dont want to be. Im giving this place a 2 because they rendered the service I requested and while it wasnt exactly what I wanted, she still cleaned up my messy brows pretty well. I would not go back here.

I arrived at the studio early and they were not open. While waiting for them to open, I had to go to the bathroom, but decided to wait until the studio opened since it was close to opening (and my appointment) time. When I walked in, I asked the owner if I could use the bathroom. She told me that it was not a public bathroom. That sounded reasonable, but I asked her, since I was a customer, if I could please use it. I was told «no».
While she quickly threaded my eyebrows and upper lip, I was almost in pain from needing to go to the bathroom so bad. When she finished, I paid for the service and quickly left. I didn’t leave a tip, for two reasons. One, I was in such a hurry to find a bathroom to relieve myself. Two, what sort of customer-​service oriented business would not provide a bathroom for customers? I realize that the law does not require it, but it’s pretty much a given that customers can use a bathroom. Sorry, this place lost their tip and any future business. She should be lucky that I didn’t have an accident inside her store.

When I first entered the place, I was really excited to find such a beautifully decorated salon. It was reminiscent of the vibrant colors of India. There were even these famed beauty products from India, albeit probably 200% over priced here than what you would find back in India. I’m very selective in who threads/​shapes my eyebrows, as this process is (should be) personal — framing your face. I’ve been to many salons, and tried both waxing and (especially) threading. Nevertheless, I thought I would give this place a try, as I heard good things about it.
It was the worst experience I’ve EVER had!!! A person named Mariam (not sure how it’s spelled) assured me that she is an «expert» in threading, and that I should «trust her.» Well, I ended up with more than I bargained for. Not only were my eyebrows shortened length-​wise, but I had a bloody upper lip, literally! I had warned her that I have very sensitive skin, as you should always indicate that before you get any service done on your face or body. She did not seem to care about this, and indicated that it’s painful for everyone. In fact, the only thing she offered to calm my reddened face was a dab of alcohol. She indicated that they (Wink Threading Studio) do not apply anything on the face for calming after threading except for the said alcohol.
I thought I had communicated with Mariam that I just wanted to clean the eyebrow (shape), and not get it thinned or nipped. Clearly this requirement was not met.
I did not complain to her, nor was I able to meet the owner to complain to her. I believe she was on her break in the back. I paid the bill, left a generous tip, and I silently left. Perhaps (in retrospect), I should have paid her a tip (in words instead)!
I’ve had threading done in the many years and trips I visited India and other places, but I never had an experience such as this. It was very unprofessionally done. It’s probably better to get waxing done than threading at this place!

Not know anything about «threading», I walked into the Wink Threading Studio in the Peninsula town Center with an open mind, determined to find out what it was all about. The woman working there, Simran, was very nice; she let me take pictures of her studio while she continued to work on a client with another client waiting. I said I would like to talk with her and she asked me to come back between her appointments. I did so and she took the time to explain the process.
Apparently, threading is a technique of using cotton thread, pressing and twining it tightly and close to the skin, and removing hairs from the follicle. It is much more precise than waxing and more effective than shaving since it removes the hair from the follicle. However, unlike wax, it does not damage the top layer of skin, so it’s much less painful and it’s harmless to the skin. Also, it is a natural process that does not involve chemicals. Though I have not had the process done personally, all of Simran’s clients I saw that day seemed to love her work. Also, her studio was nice and clean and had a good vibe, and Simran was very nice and helpful in talking with me.
