Shanti Threading Salon

I went to the Shanti threading salon this afternoon to get my eyebrows done. They did a tremendous job. I love their deal as well. I also recommend you to go there one time, you will love their service manner for sure. I don’t hesitate to say thank you.

Very nice service and a nice threading job. Price was a little more than I wanted to pay, but all in all, if you’re not loyal to anyone else, they’re a-​ok.

This place is good for threading, although a bit ridiculously over priced. But it is NO good for waxing. It’s dirty room was grossing me out, but I beared through it thinking it’s convenient and the girl was nice enough. But JESUS! She burned the crap out of my arm. Please save yourself and these poor girls and don’t go there for waxing at all! Gulp! See the pic I posted!

Such horrible service here, like literally every time. The fact that they make you buy a membership card in order to get decent prices is so ridiculous, and always has been. I have done it for the last 3 years since it is close to work but today was the last straw. The fact that there is an expiration date on these cards is even sillier. I am moving out of the country soon and when I went last time to get my eyebrows done (2 – 3 months ago) they refused to work with me on a new 2 – 3 visit card in the time frame I will be here when I asked about it, because I had only one visit left on my card. So I ended up spacing out my last visit for a good couple of months since I had only one more visit to last me before I left, and then they wouldn’t honor it today because my card «had expired» last month. Like seriously?! I’ll go somewhere else, no thanks. It shouldn’t have to be this hard to be a loyal customer.

This place is amazing! My eyebrows never looked better ! The price was a few dollars over my budget for eyebrows but it was worth it! Plus it was very quick

I don’t often leave Unilocal reviews… but this place was on point! Walked in, sat down immediately and was done in maybe ten minutes. My brows are on fleek and I’m looking top notch. They look natural. I’m so pleased. Game over wax, threading is it.

Let me say something nice… Maybe they do great eyebrow threading but DO NOT GO THERE FOR A BRAZILIAN WAX!!! Holy crap! You walk up some rinky dink stairs to a tiny, not too private room. No real Brazilian here. It was like a bikini wax. If you wanted your hiney done it was 5 bucks more? I walked out with a crotch full of wax and my undies sticking to me. Yikes not worth it.

They did an amazing job! Quick and quality work. Kept the thickness of my brows and my natural shape. Use the Unilocal deal! The membership is not worth it unless you get your brows done very often because it will run out in 3 – 6 months depending on the package you buy. They’re really pushy about the memberships… That is the only downfall about their customer service.
Other than that, I would highly recommend this place for someone who is trying threading for their first time or looking for quality near UW!

I found a wax deal online for Shanti so I figured I’d give them a try. I made a reservation for 2 days before a big trip to the Caribbean. I got a call about a week before my trip from them saying I had missed by appointment but could reschedule — an error on their end. So, I called them back to see if the original date was still available, it was!
That morning I get a call from them saying that the person who waxes has called in sick so I have to reschedule. A bit frustrated, I let them know that I didn’t have much time to reschedule as we were leaving in 2 days.
This is why they get a 4-​star review: they brought in the wax lady from their other location to the U District location just so I could keep my appointment. Customer service always wins. I told them I appreciated the efforts they went through.
Once I arrived for my appointment, I was continuously pleased with their service. They’re super friendly and do a great job with their waxing and threading.
I also learned that if you become a member for $ 20, you get 50% off all their services!

My experience wasn’t exactly the same as Peyro L.‘s below — I bought the Unilocal deal, went in and got threaded, asked about the membership, and bought it… but they used the day’s services as a punch on my six-​session card. The eyebrow/​lip/​chin package was $ 110, they took $ 10 off from the Unilocal deal (which was advertised as «pay $ 10 for $ 15 in services» but doesn’t apply to packages), so I paid $ 10 online and $ 100 in the salon. Not including tip, $ 110 for six sessions comes out to $ 18.33/session.
This is slightly more than what I pay in NYC, and it’s slightly annoying to have to be tied via a membership package to achieve similar pricing, but I have to say — GREAT threading. Really thorough and gentle (relatively — it is threading, after all!). And they do offer discounts for waxing and facials to members who buy packages — it’s nice that they can offer this as a reward to regular customers. I am indeed a fan of this place!

I live on the ave and my usual salon is in Kent but I decided to try something more local for my brow needs. To start, the service was okay. She got the job done but was less than average, little hairs left around, she got me out quick but wayyyyyy overpriced. 15 $ for a simple clean-​up is ridiculous especially when my go-​to salon (Aaina Beauty Salon 5STARS definitely recommend) charges ~12 $ for lip and brow. Later when I didn’t agree to the membership, teller’s attitude completely changed and I was ushered out.
In sum, save your $$$ and branch out to other salons.
Additionally, now that I’m scrolling through other reviews I noticed the response from the this business that another Unilocaler received and I just think it’s completely unprofessional. 1) It’s not even typed correctly, 2) it’s completely snarky, 3) if they actually valued customers then they’d probably provide better customer service.
Forever making the commute to Kent from now on.

Lightening fast threading! Generally that would make me suspicious about quality, but I’m actually pretty impressed with the shape. My only issue is a bit of irritation that I generally get if the process is rushed. This place is great if you’re in a hurry.

Last winter, with tons of stress due to busy schedule & skin dryness, I looked totally worn out! Since I was planning on a vacation with my hubby, looking like a walnut was not an option for me. I, like many other women, am cautious about my skin & I don’t like experimenting with it. After some research, I decided to go to Shanti Threading Salon for a much needed Facial & my experience has been the best ever!!! Suzana’s miracle worked on me & I looked like I just got back from a relaxed beautiful vacation :)
Suzana is highly skilled & her facial techniques are just amazing! If you are someone who believes that facial requires massage from skilled fingers than that of a machine or hard chemicals, than this is the place to go! I’ve been their regular customer & I intend to continue being one till I enjoy the compliment from my friends ;)

I wish there was an option of zero star for this place.
Not only is the owner rude and obnoxious they inflict so much pain. The reason for my bad review however is not their lack of skill but the lack of professionalism. I had a membership where I could go three times and the owner said since I had only been for eyebrow threading once and not been able to use my member ship in the allotted time she would honor it and let me have the full value of my membership.
Next time I went in there she refused to keep her word and wanted to charge me $ 65 again.
Another time I went to buy a mehendi cone and her staff told me it was $ 7 and when the owner heard her she spoke over her and said it was $ 10.
I just want to say there are other much much better places out there for getting your eye brows done and my experience here has always been terrible.

I really love this place! No matter who does my eyebrows, they never disappoint. If you get your brows done regularly I recommend going for the membership, as it’s a really good deal.

I always walked past Shanti on the Ave but never got the guts to go in, idk hair removal = cringe. But I felt compelled to get my eyebrows done for the first time ever and found that Shanti’s reviews were excellent!
My total in and out time at Shanti was about 15 minutes. I walked in without an appointment, and was seated immediately and the lady got down to business. I didn’t know my eyebrows could be so shapely!!!
I bought the $ 10 for $ 15 deal from Unilocal and it was a pretty good deal. I didn’t go for a membership this time but I’d definitely consider it next time. Would definitely recommend and go back.

This place was 100% GREAT! The staff was professional, quick, & above all my eyebrows look amazing.
This is the first time I’ve had my eyebrows threaded because I had a bad experience before in a salon with some waxing my eyebrows so was turned off to the idea of anyone but me styling my browns. I did my research & found a lot of reviews (mostly good) and decided to go to this location. The lady that did them was very nice (Didn’t catch her name) and am going to be going back because of the results, Im more than impressed.
If you want a good location to get your eyebrows done I recommend this location because of the results & wonderful staff! :]

Went into Shanti because the trek to Northgate Mall every month just to get brows done was a bit much without a car and this only a few blocks down the street from where I live. I read the good Unilocal reviews so I purchased the Unilocal deal, $ 10 for $ 15. I went in during a little lull, 4:15pm on a Monday, and was seen right away.
The service was quick, less painful than previous times other places (maybe I am getting used to it) and my brows turned out lovely and just liked I asked them. However I was annoyed that mid-​way through the lady went to answer the phone in the back room and talk for 5 minutes without telling me she would be right back, if she was done or what was going on. She came back into the main room and started again as if nothing happened.
But what really left a sour taste in my mouth was the fact that they wouldn’t let me use the $ 15 coupon on packages. The lady told me the $ 15 was only for single brows and the coupon was only worth $ 10 the amount I paid for it for the 6 packages. She did a good job and it’s close by so I just went along with it but super annoyed because other people on here have said they were able to use the coupon on packages. If their rules have changed they need to change the wording of their offer.

I never liked getting my eyebrows threaded before. I had always done wax. Being Indian my hair is thick and grows back really fast. I like the unlimited waxing! Whenever my eyebrows start to look bad I go get my eyebrows done and they look great! Worth the money if your hair grows back fast.

I visited this place a month ago and the girl who did my brows was very nice and did an amazing job (although I can’t remember her name!). I asked her to ensure she just cleaned them up and didn’t make them thin and she couldn’t have done a more perfect job. The cost was also reasonable. You can become a member and get 6 threadings a month for $ 55. Will definitely be back.
