Bebe Skin Care & Threading

Bebe has been doing my eyebrows since 2009. I get complimented on them regularly. I see her twice a month.
I have difficult very asymmetrical brows, and I developed an allergy to waxing. It took years to find a threader who understood shape.
The reason she can keep her prices low at her very high skill level is because she runs her own calendar. Online booking is very easy.
Once you become a regular customer, you can text her for last minute appointments or changes (because then she would know who you are).

Amazing! Bebe has a super-​light touch (and I get my entire face threaded, which at other places has always hurt like hell but at Bebe’s doesn’t hurt at all). She shapes eyebrows amazingly well, with a lot of attention to detail/what’ll look good on individual face types. Thank you!

WORST THREADING PLACE WITH THE WORST ATTITUDE
Reading the reviews, I tried Bebe. After being let in, I waited in the waiting area, and there is a door that is closed. Bebe did not have an appointment ongoing, but was inside and was not mindful of the time. I had to get the appointment in at a certain time. I tried calling several times, and she would not pick up the phone. The next person who had the appointment was buzzed in, and Bebe finally opened the door. I explained to her what had happend, and there was no apology but an entitled attitude. She said I have to wait because someone else has the appointment now. I asked her how that was fair considering I arrived on time for the appointment and contacted her even in her salon, but she refused to open the door. Bebe asked the other client if I could go, and the client was ok with it. I walked in to the other room, and she starts over dominating me in how to shape my brows. I told her that I am comfortable with the shape I was since I am paying for it. There is no thought of care given to either the service or the education behind threading. I left feeling highly disappointed and bad that she does not respect people’s time or understood much about eyebrows. Weeks later, I tried another threading salon, and sure enough, the aesthetician told me that the eyebrows were not according according to my face. She had made them uneven and thin. It was the worst attitude and quality!

Absolutely love this place! I’ve been coming here every few weeks for the past year. She has transformed my brows. I’ve received compliments on the new shape of my brows, and couldn’t be happier! Definitely recommend BeBe!

Today I had my brow situation rectified. I can’t say enough about Bebe’s greatness.
I showed up, told her about the failed threading attempt I encountered earlier in the week.
So, she wildly threaded away, gifting me with perfect brows, which I was told couldn’t be fixed until they grew in. I literally just sat there and experienced mad talent. I didn’t hold the skin taut, around my eyebrows for her. Nothing.
BAM.
My brows are back.
B threw down, just like that on a Friday afternoon, effortlessly. Plus, she’s sweet as pie:)
It’s called brow magic, and no one can hold a candle to her.
Show up. Get threaded. Walk out. Get complimented everywhere you go on. Give thanks for Bebe. I have, for the past 10 years.

I like to call Bebe the eyebrow whisperer — because my eyebrows are my statement pieces, and she ensures that they are in tip top shape! I have had some awful eyebrowistas, who have murdered my eyebrows — to the point where I have a hard time trusting anyone to touch them (myself included). Bebe is sweet, kind, and realllllly good at what she does. She was my first experience with threading — even back on Sacramento Street — and I will never ever go back to waxing. Her prices are fair, it’s not too difficult to park, and after visiting her you can treat yourself to a great japanese meal or a shopping spree at the origami store!
Thank you Bebe for making sure that my money maker is on point with the best statement pieces around!

I’ve been going to this amazing lady for 8+ years now and there’s no one else I would trust with my eyebrows. Bebe is really good at her job, very knowledgable while also being personable and friendly. Highly recommend!

Bebe is very thorough with her work. I believe every little hair was removed by her magical hands. I’m not sure why everyone is mentioning pain, but her touch was ever so gentle with me. Probably one of the better threading experiences I’ve had in a while. I really like the natural light coming in, so she could see better. Also, instead of a chair she operates from a massage table. Comfort level just shot up a notch!
I gave 3 stars because when I arrived for my appointment, no one was at reception. A woman walked up the stairs, on her mobile and asked «are you here for???» while walking into a room. That woman turned out to be my threader. Just a tip on customer service; be ready for your appointment and if someone is waiting in reception please be attentive and give undivided attention.
The shop is very small. As in one patron at a time small. For $ 25.00 my brows are shaped to perfection and lips are a smooth as a baby’s bum. I could overlook the initial phone-​in-​hand encounter in order to have perfect brows. Hopefully the next visit will be seamless.

She’s great at shaping your brows, however, it really hurts sometimes! The pain isn’t consistent, but when it hurts, it really hurts. Also, prices are steeper than what I’m used to, but I guess worth it for her good job at shaping.

Bebe does such a wonderful job. I used to alternate between getting my brows either waxed or threaded at the randomest places. I’d always leave feeling paranoid about my brows being crooked or asymmetrical lol. But every since I stumbled across Bebe, I can’t trust anyone else! She’s so professional and never disappoints! I get so many compliments about my eyebrows, thanks to Bebe! I’ve referred her to my sister and a couple friends and they love her too. I’ll be moving to Sacramento soon for school :/​but I’ll probably be planning my trips back to the Bay around my eyebrow appointments! Lol

Not gonna lie, that was one of the most painful eyebrow threading experiences I’ve ever had. However, I think I like the results. The lady got right down to business when I arrived and got me in and out in 8 minutes. I think the most painful part of it was when she plucked the hairs she couldn’t thread and dragged the tweezers on my skin when she was plucking. Ahh. The skin around my eyebrows is super irritated and red now. But hopefully it’ll calm down a bit.
Pros: FAST, cheap ($ 15), she knows what she’s doing (she stopped several times to reassess)
Cons: effin painful — WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS
I think I’ll try other places, but will give this place another try if the other places don’t work out.

My brows looked good after going to Bebe but honestly the woman who did my eyebrows scarred me from threading for about a year and I will not be coming back here. It was sooo painful I almost told her to stop. I get my eyebrows waxed and threaded now and it never hurts. I’m not sure why my experience here was so awful. On top of that the service wasn’t pleasant either. The woman just wants you in and out as soon as possible to get her next person on the chair. Not worth it. Many other places in the city that get your brows on point without the pain.

Didn’t actually go.
Made an appointment via website. Then realized I had a double booking. So I called to reschedule and or cancel. I didn’t get a call back… but an email confirming my appointment. So, I emailed to ask if they could reschedule… all I got back was an email canceling my appointment.
It seemed like a generic cancellation email. and it bothered me that I couldn’t get an actual person on the phone to talk about rescheduling options.
If I can’t get someone LIVE to talk to me… I’ll be bringing my eyebrows somewhere else. Thank you very much.

I know Bebe is known for her threading, but as a girl who hasn’t even had her legs waxed before I thought I’d try her out for her waxing service first!
Absolutely incredible! Minimal pain, very efficient and comfortable environment. All for a reasonable price too! You made a very nervous customer a life-​time client :) Look forward to coming back soon!

I meant to submit this review sooner, but I’ve just been super busy feeling SO fierce with my freshly threaded eyebrows. Bebe is extremely professional and wasn’t off put by my awkward inability to create casual conversation while having my eyebrow hair ripped out. The facilities were very clean and in a very nice area of japantown. I hadn’t gotten my eyebrows done in a very long time, so while the process was a little painful, I knew what I was getting myself into. I explained to Bebe that a while back someone had botched my eyebrows by waxing off the front part by my tear duct a little too far. She was really understanding and gave some helpful advice, and to continue to allow the hair to grow in. By the time Bebe was done, my eyebrows looked fuller and more symmetrical. I can’t wait to go back!

A full five stars for Bebe. Why?
When it comes to skincare /​hair removal, forget ‘pro tips.’ It’s about ‘Indian girl tips.’ And when it comes to Indian Girl Tips, look no further than yours truly
Indian girls know their hair removal, and that’s why I was referred to Bebe, and that’s why I’m taking the time out of my Sopranos-​binging to refer you.
Best threading in the city. Careful, precise, and artistic. Advised me to grow my eyebrows out and they look a world different now.
Appts required, text the number to schedule.

I called four times before stumbling into this little hole in the wall place. Bebe was busy with her other customers and couldn’t pick up her cell phone — she told me to just text her next time. She was booked the whole day but I told her that all I needed was an eyebrow threading for a wedding in two days!
She was nice and accommodating and decided to squeeze me in for 15 minutes between her appointments. Granted at 15 dollars + 3 dollars = 18 dollars a pop, it’s kinda expensive for eyebrow threading BUT she did take me at the last minute and on a Saturday. She also did a fantastic job and it didn’t hurt as much as it usually does. I wasn’t as red and bumpy as I was if I went elsewhere.
Overall, I’d come to her and TEXT her next time if I do come so I don’t have to catch her only by luck. Good luck!

When someone’s pulling hair from your face using only cotton, you want someone who’s confident, quick, and accurate. Bebe is all of these things, and definitely the best threader I’ve come across in a while.
Her confident approach is the giveaway to her experience. She won’t ask you what you think needs to be done; she already knows that when you walk in the door. That’s not to say that she doesn’t listen to your concerns or areas you’d like to focus on — she definitely does. But she knows her stuff, and it shows.
She isn’t 100% pain-​free, because threading is never going to be painless. But she is very quick, with a steady hand, and that really minimizes the pain.
Her prices are really reasonable, AND there is free candy while you wait in the pretty, cosy waiting area. What more can you ask for?!

3.5 stars for highly skilled work but non-​existent customer service. I dropped in without an appointment in the afternoon. Bebe was with a client but when she finished she opened the door to the threading area and didn’t say a word nor did she gesture for me to enter. When I told her that I wanted eyebrow and lip threading, she merely nodded and then went to town.
It was quick and painless, but at the conclusion of our session she didn’t even tell me how much anything cost. As a first time customer, the absolute lack of communication or any sort of inquiry as to whether I had been threaded before rubbed me the wrong way. If it weren’t for the convenient location it would be a toss-​up for me as to my likelihood of returning at all. Just because you’re really good at your job doesn’t mean you have to put zero effort into cultivating client relationships.

Coming from the east coast where threading is very common, I had to find a new threader. That was over 6 years ago. She is always pleasant, fantastic at what she does & affordable. I’ve tried others, always to go back to Bebe. She’s the best & the real deal.
