Sameera Threading And Beauty

Bad establishment. Dirty and over priced. Waited for 30 minutes and just walked out. Their staff is just chatting and going in and out of the salon. When I asked why I was waiting so long they said my name was not on the list… No apologies offered. I used the unnecessary computer check in system they have to check in. The girl confirmed I had only 2 people in front of me. to find out my name was skipped. And their system doesn’t work.
Bad experience for such a simple necessity.

Nooooooo! its closed now! it’s now a jimmy johns :(

Do they the best eyebrows duharti is the best she’s there on Fridays (:

Kushboo is a really good she fixed my eye brows i love her work she takes her time love talking with her im really going to miss u

I am now a loyal customer to this location because of Dhruti, she is so sweet and helpful even let me know that my eyebrows were crooked from another salon I was going to. She has fixed my eyebrows and I now have her thread my full face!!!

I used to come here all the time because it’s close by and convenient, plus I liked Kavita. Kavita has moved somewhere else but I thought why not give them a try anyways because I was in a hurry. Went in at 6:35pm on a Friday and was told by the girl at the door they were closed, to which I asked ‘don’t you close at 7?’ (Because I’ve known this from the many prior times I’ve gone) to which she replied ‘yes but by the time we are done with the people waiting it will be 7′. Sameera, either get more employees to help cover the busiest times (like closing) or change the closing time of your business. Pretty much anywhere else I have gone customers are helped until the closing time and after that, no one else is let in but they finish all the customers that were already there. I was so not amused that I will not be returning.

Well, I just discovered the art of threading last semester because my friend who normally waxes my eyebrows moved away. My eyebrows grow slowly, so I went a few months (well okay, a lot of months) without doing anything to them and they looked fine and normal unless you were about a foot away from me. My first experience was this shop in brea, but I discovered Sameera on my lunch break because I finally realized I should get my eyebrows done and would make me look nicer when I saw my boyfriend. I went into this little shop (ready to pay whatever the price was) for eyebrow and upper lip threading. Theres a huge sign that says to check in using the touch screen, so I filled out my information and clicked on anyone who can help. I waited all of 30 seconds and was helped immediately by Radha. She was so lovely and nice! She did an excellent job and I did not have any strays that I had to pluck away on my own. My skin got red for a few minutes, but she made it better with toner or whatever they put on it! :]
I went again today about 30 minutes ago and got the pleasure of being helped by Radha again! She is the best and sold me some gift vouchers or something for $ 25. It says gift certificate on it, so you can use it on yourself or give it to a friend. I guess eyebrow threading is $ 9 or something (I am not sure, but it was cheap), but after buying the vouchers, I basically am getting 5 eyebrow threadings for $ 5 each time I go! :] I am all for deals, so this was a good one (and seeing that the voucher meant I paid in advance and at a discount price, I wouldn’t have to pay again until I ran out of vouchers) and when I need my upper lip threaded it would only cost me $ 2! The whole session lasted about 5 minutes or less and Radha, again, was very thorough! I had no unwanted hairs that I needed to pluck myself and there were no cuts, bumps, or marks on my skin! =] Thank you RADHA! You are the best! =]

Just got my eyebrows threaded and it only cost me $ 4! ($ 1 to thread for first time customers and I gave a $ 3 tip) I highly recommend Dhruti. She was really friendly and did a really good job cleaning up and giving shape to my brows.

I love this place! I am a regular and go quite often. I admit they could use some extra workers, and a little more decoration or something. Not sure why this location is so different from the other one off state college. Needless to say, I love it! Very friendly workers. Good customer service. I always do eyebrows and lip and have never been in happy. I also try a Brazilian and love it, Makul (I think is her name) is great at it. I tell everyone about it and will continue.

They just lost a loyal customer well make it four with my sisters and mom. This is not the first time they do something to make me not want to come back to this place but this was the last straw. I showed up at 10:45 and 20 mins into my wait time the lady comes to me and another girl waiting (she was there way before me) that she was only going to take appointments. She said the other lady was supposed to show at 11 but never did she called the other location to send someone over and she kept saying that lady would show up in 10mins. I got up and left by 12 I wasn’t going to wait longer. The sad thing is this isn’t the first time something like this happens.

I’ve been here twice now and both times I have been very pleased! I’ve gone to many different places for threading and I’ve never really been happy with the shape. But Sameera’s does an excellent job not just with «cleaning up» but shaping. I fully trust them because the threaders have a good eye for what looks good. I have a hard time explaining to places what exactly I want past «cleaning it up» but Sameera’s shaped my eyebrows like I’ve never seen and I seriously am so pleased. I live far from this place, but it’s worth the drive!

Shady advertising.
Big bold yellow signs everywhere advertise $ 7 threading. But what you DON’T see is the fine print that says «first-​time customers only». $ 9 every time after that.
I was sticker-​shocked the second time I came in and she told me at the register it would be $ 9.
I said, «you mean $ 7, right?», seeing that it was advertised everywhere, she surely must be mistaken. She said, «no, $ 7 for first-​time customers only. After that it is $ 9.»
Well, I only had $ 9 cash, since I had planned for $ 7 service + $ 2 tip.
So I have her the $ 9, and said, «well there goes your tip». I asked if they had customer loyalty cards? She said no.
Don’t waste your time, this place is a rip off. For $ 9 a pop, it isn’t worth it. And the threading is only average at best.

I can’t believe that I am actually writing a negative review for Sameera. I would give this location zero stars if possible, it would be equivalent to the service that I received which was NONE. I arrived 8÷8÷13 6:14pm and promptly left at 6:29pm — Why? I was welcomed with a locked door, and a make shift sign that properly stated «be back in 10 mins, waxin». I waited along 5 other women, patiently and impatiently waiting, and anticipating that someone open the door. My 4 year old got antsy and kept asking what was going on and why couldn’t we go inside. The entire time I stood with regret that I didn’t just go to the State College location.
I only decided to try this spot out because it’s closer to my new home.
I’ve had phenomenal experience at Sameera at the original location, it’s a shame that I couldn’t even get a hint of an experience at this one. If I had known this were to happen (under whatever excuse it was that this happened) I wouldn’t have wasted my time. Now its 6:50pm and it’s too late for me to drive to the other location to get my grown out eye brows threaded. I’m sad that my eyebrows are still gross and my time wasted.
I will just stick to the original location

The first time ever tried to go to a barber’s and it wasn’t too bad. The stylist did a decent job and was friendly and patient.
However, just when I thought 7 bucks was pretty good for men’s haircut, I later found out that they charged 20 dollars from my credit card on top of the cash tip I gave them. Since it’s a foreign credit card I never argued to get my money back, but definitely would not go back to this place again.

I’ll make this short and sweet…
Had a Living Social deal for waxing service. The place was eh –OK. Very empty (I guess their version of minimalist?) and feels somewhat cold. The waxing area is cramped. Usually places play music to help relax you, not this place. It was silent and awkward. The lady that did the waxing was polite and attempted to make small talk a few times. The service itself was AWFUL. I’ve gone to a number of other places and none have hurt as much as here. She kept going over, and over and over the same spots which made me SUPER raw. And to make it worse, she didn’t even do a good job! I went with a girlfriend and she had similar treatment.
Maybe this place is only good for eyebrow threading… if you want to get waxed DO NOT go here. Not even with a killer Living Social deal, its not worth it. It hurt to sit for 2 days…
NO THANKS!

Quick friendly services and a great price. I thinks we have a winner!

not a fan. I saw a sign that said 5 bucks and it was close to my house so I thought, meh why not. ** the 5 dollars is for first time customers only. I got my brows done by someone named Katrina or Kavina or something like that. My eyebrows were uneven, not clean and smooth, and she even ripped some skin off (my boyfriend noticed too). She didn’t even ask how I wanted my eyebrows, I had to tell her midway… and she still didn’t get it right. I had to go home and fix my brows, I even debated getting them rethreaded. I’m going to stick with going to Perfect Brows in Orange or try Brow Mantra down the street. Also, it was 82 degrees outside, no air conditioning and really stuffy inside.

SO I usually go to Brow Mantra off the 91 fwy but notice Sameera opened a new salon across the street and ask myself if I want to take the risk with ANOTHER threader and save a few dollars ($ 9 for eyebrows and upper lip), or do I go to good old Brow Mantra, wait for 15 — 25 minutes and pay a little more? I decided to try Sameera’s and not only was the special worth it, I was impressed with Kavita’s work and will be back!
I read the reviews beforehand about this space being VERY new and it being hot with no A. C inside. I walked in and notice there were a few chairs to sit in and about four chairs for threading and ALL this space in between. I actually prefer it looking like that and not so cluttered. It was simple and functional and I hope they keep it that way. I got there early in the morning (it wasn’t too hot at the time) and there were about 2 people ahead of me and one threader, Kavita. I waited about 15 to 20 minutes which isn’t any different from Brow Mantra. I noticed Kavita did a thorough job with each person. Usually threaders will just clean up my eyebrows and leave it at that, but Kavita actually shaped and cleaned them very well and I was impressed and happy!
I’d recommend Sameera’s because:

— It’s still new (there’s still room for improvement, e.g. the addition of an air
conditioner)
— It’s not crowded
— Wait is equal to or less than Brow Mantra’s
— Quality of work is just as good if not better
— Customer service is always great (I’ve been to the State College location in
the past)
— They have well advertised specials!

Three stars, because the lady did a great job on my unruly browzilla situation. But man, it was so dang hot in there! NO air conditioning, not even a fan blowing. Yes, by comparison to the other location on State College and Chapman near CSUF the wait time is negligent, but still.
This location has been open long enough so that the construction should be finished by now, and it shouldn’t look quite so shabby anymore.
I’ll likely come back if I’m in the exact area and they look a lot more finished, but for now I’ll brave the longer lines in relative comfort at the other location :)
PS — Right now, you can get your brows done for $ 5.

I was so excited when this location opened up, finally something closer to home AND less crowded than the on off state college.
So the originally location off State College and Chapman extended their business to this location. The place is still under construction so only facial threading is available.
I got the $ 5 eyebrow deal with a girl name Kulhmush, she’s one of the younger ones, she did a great job communicating on what I want for the shape of my eyebrows and she shaped it really well.
HOWEVER…
she threaded me too harshly, which therefore, «pulled my skin off». I got my brows done in the early afternoon, and by bed time when I washed my face, my eyebrow area got irritated. The photos were taken the following morning.
I’ve been getting my brows threaded for 5 years now, and never had any type of cuts/​bleeding/​irritation. The only expected result is the area being a pink colored right after threading. Cuts/​bleeding/​irritation is due to poor threading technique.
This review is based on that visit with the younger tech for eyebrow threading.
