Brows Shaping Salon

They have temporarily moved to Metreon/​161 Fourth St., close to Target. They do a great job threading and highly recommend this place!

I really am a fan of this place, but for all of you wondering what happened to their location in the mall? It relocated to the metreon near target. I had the hardest time reaching the store to confirm their new location and when I called repeatedly they just didn’t answer. Good job with threading, terrible customer service.

I’ve had good experiences here, but the last time I was there the woman who did my brows was so rough and fast that I basically screamed at her to slow down. I was in so much pain. I get threaded all of the time, and this woman was just way too much. Your mileage will vary depending on who you get.

IMPORTANT: Brows Shaping Salon has moved! New address is 161 4^th street between Mission and Howard. Just across the street from the Westfeield Mall, but important to know. Westfield will not let them even put up a” we have moved sign”.
I started coming here a few months ago when I really needed a convenient place to have my eyebrows threaded. it’s been great! Shilpey is wonderful, courteous, professional and very good at threading. It’s now my regular place for threading!

I’ve been getting my eyebrows threaded for 8 years, and my experience at Brows Shaping Salon was the worst I’ve had. I asked for just a clean-​up, no shape-​changing, and she took off a chunk of my eyebrow resulting in a blocky, square shape instead of the nice arch I had been forming for years. I can’t stop looking at how uneven my eyebrows look now and really wish I had just never gone here. It’ll take forever to grow back to how it was. If you’re not picky about your eyebrows and just want a fast job done, go here. If you’re looking for something more professional and meticulous, avoid this place. It felt like she was racing to finish (or to help the next customer), with no regards for how I would feel about how my eyebrows came out looking.
If I’m getting picky with the details, 2 other aspects made the experience meh:
–She didn’t clean the hairs off my face and had me do it myself
–Her hands smelled like food or something and my face smelled funny afterwards
–Price was not in line with quality; if they’re looking to just do quick jobs, it should cost half the price they charge

Sigh. I really wanted to like this place. There’s one young woman who is amazing and another who is just awful.
Unfortunately I forgot how awful she could be. She was way too heavy handed during my last visit and ripped off a small layer of skin. When I pointed it out that part of my brow was missing, she poked it. Literally she poked the hole on my face with her damn finger. I never heard an apology at all. I paid and ran away. I’ll never go back.

I have had really great experiences at this place. In fact, I have a frequent customer card and I was well on my way to filling it out.
However, my last experience as not so great. I told her to clean-​up the sides of my eyebrows and she overdid it without checking and took off ¼th of the eyebrow. It is taking forever to grow back and as any one who is very particular about eyebrows knows, it’s not easy to shape even after growth.
The funny thing is that I went back a month later and another lady noticed that my eyebrows were two different shapes and she actually recommended that I don’t get them done until they are fully grown back. So I think hit and a miss. Just make sure to tell them to go slow and have them show you your eyebrows before making any major clean-​up changes so that you don’t go through what I experienced.

I’ve been getting my facial hair threaded for over 15 years, and I have been going to the Brow Shaping Salon for over two years, mostly because of the location.
I did my eyebrows in December and asked for a clean up, once again they managed to turn my thick eye brows into shapeless ones. I’ve learned to deal with mediocre eyebrows, but the final straw was that they cut the corner of my lip multiple times. The lady didn’t even apologize. I’d rather go further or pay more than be subjected to these ladies again.

I was pretty impressed how well they did! I normally get waxed and rarely ever get threaded. They did a great job and they were fast. Oddly enough I felt like threading hurt way more than waxing but maybe that’s just me. They accept credit card and you can tip via credit card which is always a plus. Got my eyebrows down and my upper lip. Pretty decently priced and happy I went here!

Very disappointed. I’ve been getting my eyebrows threaded for years and feel I know what a good threading job looks and feels like. I have not received this the two times I’ve visited here.
The first time, I broke out. I haven’t broken out from threading for at least two years.
This last time, I left with asymmetrical brows making my face look completely off kilter. Literally every place I told the girl to leave alone (specifically pointing it out on my brow), she threaded and the places I asked to get cleaned up were neglected. I’ve been trying to help my brows become more thick for about a year and now that hair has been threaded away. All that work and patience :(
Overall, I’m very displeased. It really is a bummer when you pay to look better and leave looking worse…

No waiting, great results, HELLA cheep. I might never go anywhere else! Oh and CLEAN! I forgot to say that! :) very clean. I likey.

I got a brow and upper lipper thread her and I was quite disappointed with my results, or lack thereof.
She wasn’t very thorough at all– I was in and out in 5 minutes! She threaded the hairs around my brows but hardly went near the brow itself at all. a look I could have achieved with some thorough tweezing at home.
I’m quite particular about my eyebrows so maybe I’m being fussy, but I left the place feeling like I might as well not have gone in at all, my eyebrows basically looked the same as before I went in!
My lip thread was fine, although again I felt she wasn’t as thorough as other places usually are.
Staff seemed nice enough and I didn’t have to wait long to be served but I felt it was a complete waste of money.

I’ve never written a review about a place before but my experience here just now was so bad that I had to do so. I arrived about 5 minutes before closing time because I got off work late and I really needed to get my eyebrows done before my early flight in the morning. I walk in and the girl working there was extremely rude and would not let me get my eyebrows done because she said they were closed. Last time I checked when your business hours say closed at 8:30 this is when you should be closed, not 8:25. The worse part is how rude she was, I asked politely and even offered to pay extra and she refused. I will never step foot into such a terrible place again. And I’m letting anyone know not to waste their time coming here. I’ve gotten my brow done here once before and it was nothing spectacular. Now I know to never go back to this horrible place.

I’ve been looking for a place for threading in the city for a while now and I love the location of this place. It’s very convenient to get to — right in the middle of where I live and where I work. In addition to just the convenience, I’ve seen a lot of places which are pretty fancy, high-​end beauty parlors, but I was just looking for a cheap, good place to get my eyebrows cleaned/​shaped.
This is the first place I’ve been to in the city, but I was not disappointed. They did a very good job, didn’t hurt that much, and the prices weren’t exorbitant. It’ll never beat my mom and pop shop in Fremont where I am a regular, but I guess for the city, this will have to do!

There are two girls here that do great brows, Shilpy and Shanti. They’re quick and will shape them however you want. If you get anyone else, you will end up with uneven, asymetrical brows and leave crying. That’s what happened to me today. I have a trip coming up and my right eyebrow is almost completely gone. My left eyebrow was left full and the arch was not cleaned up. My only hope is to see if they will thin out my left brow to match my right. But even then, I’ll have thin old lady brows that will take months to grow back.
Still a great place to get your brows done, with a good price. Too bad only two girls there no what they’re doing.

They always thread my eyebrows unevenly and when I came in she didn’t ask me how I wanted my eyebrows I had to stop her before she started! They’re nice people here but I’m definitely not coming back anymore… Third times the charm

I was looking for a good eyebrow threading salon in San Francisco without it being in too much of a inconvenient location when traveling by train. I’m actually surprised that I managed to find a salon of such great quality in the heart of Westfield mall and downtown! Hallejuah, 3 cheers for Unilocal!
Hip hip… hooray!
Hip hip… hooray!
Hip hip… HOORAY!
Although the name of salon specifies eyebrows, they apparently also do other forms of hair removal services. However, I opted just for the eyebrow shaping service which set me back a meager price of 13 dollars.
Customer Service:
Unfortunately, I didn’t catch the name of the person who attended to me, but she was very friendly and quick with her work. I was really pleased with the way my brows turned out at the end as well!
If you’re a first timer, beware — eyebrow threading can sting like hell, but thankfully the employee had some aloe vera at hand to cool my throbbing and swollen eyebrows.
I would love to come back here again in the future if I need eyebrow threading done. Great prices, great service, and a job well done!

Decent place to get your eyebrows threaded. I’ve never truly had a bad experience here. The girls are pretty conservative and tend to mostly just «clean-​up» your brows versus finding the ideal shape. I think there are other places that pay more attention to you and spend more time perfecting the perfect brow shape, but if you need something quick and simple, come here – they get the job done!

I’ve been coming here to get my eyebrows threaded regularly for a little more than a year and I would definitely come back again!
The people are nice and thorough. They’ve never messed up my eyebrows. They even noticed my eyebrows are slightly uneven and try shaping them to fix it. They always ask in the end if you think it’s okay, and they are willing to fix anything you have an issue with. Wait time is generally short, but sometimes there can be a line. $ 13 is also not a bad price for SF downtown.

Still very happy with the brow shaping service.
