Usha Salon And Day Spa

I always come here to get my eyebrows done and usually when I leave my eyebrows look great!
I’ve never had any issue going to new people people in the shop to get my eyebrows done but today I realized I can’t do that anymore. I left very unsatisfied this morning because I let someone new thread my eyebrows.
This tip may be obvious, but once you find someone that can thread your eyebrows well at Ushas stick with that person. I learned the hard way and now I have to walk around with uneven eyebrows.
Also FYI, I wrote this review not to diss the shop because they usually provide awesome service. But I more so wanted to share my unfortunate experience so people don’t end up making the same mistake.

I’ve been coming to Ushas for years and honestly she is the only one I trust doing my eyebrows. She always shapes them nicely and I leave the salon knowing my eyebrows are on FLEEK! Lol. The lady that sits next to her does a good job too. They also do manicures, henna tattoos and Brazilian wax too.
They have punch cards so after you come here 10 or so times you get free eyebrow threading.

This place was friendly but the hair cut I got was awful. I asked for a trim and it was very uneven and she hacked some hideously short layers that I did not want and are super hard to style. I should not have to wear my hair in a pony tail after a trim but that is going to be the case for a month. I literally ran out of her chair. It is telling when u enter the salon and they only have 3 bottles of product on a full wall display to buy. Skip this place.

Quick service. Just be sure to communicate exactly how you want the shape of your brows !

I would not recommend anyone to ever get any hair services done here. They are better off focussing only on threading. Purchased a groupon for a shampoo, haircut, and partial highlights. Visited the Federal Hill location and told the stylist I wanted more dimension to my medium brown hair with caramel highlights. She told me it would be $ 15 extra, which I was ok with. After it was finished, no color showed through at all. She said to wash it out and the color will show though. I have gotten my hair dyed for years and I know for a fact I’m suppose to see some sort of difference right away. My hair looked the same as before. So I went home and shampooed and no change. Booked an appointment for the following day for them to fix it. This time it showed through but only on the roots. It was blotchy and not a good job at all. I was fed up and just left. I will never go here again. The stylist needs to go back to hair school. I would have been better off doing the dying myself.

When Usha is away on vacation, stay away from this salon. I came in for just a clean up. I have grown my brows back, for months, into a much fuller shape. Now my brows are line — thin again after I explained that I need to keep them full and just need a clean up. The girl said, «yes, I will keep them full.» I left so frustrated because of all of the time I spent maintaining beautiful full brows. I guess I have to start all over again.

I went to get my brows WAXED and they assumed I wanted them threaded and so that’s what I got. They never asked or specified what they were going to do. I told them «I was there to get my brows done» and asked how much it was. It’s tricky to explain but they just didn’t communicate with me at all. They just sat me down in the chair. When I realized it was threading, I went along with it because I’ve had positive experiences in the past.
(It was $ 12 + tip which is really cheap and I was pleased with that price, but slightly concerned about the quality. I’m used to paying around $ 20-​$ 22)
The girl (she was young and I don’t think it was Usha) threaded them pretty fast without asking me questions. I asked her to keep them full and keep their natural shape, because I have very full brows that have a great shape. I have a lot of stragglers and really long hair pieces to trim. Overall though, my shape is easy to follow; sometimes I’m given more of an arch, but otherwise people leave them alone and natural.
But she made them SO THIN and completely ignored their natural shape! I was SO disappointed. She kept them long across my face (which is fine), but made them so so thin. The shape she «chose» just didn’t make any sense… the stragglers vs. bulk of my brow are so obvious. I don’t understand why she did it that way other than like not paying attention, rushing, or not knowing anything about how eyebrows should look.
I’ve heard good things about this place when Usha performs the service (which is the only reason I gave this review 2 instead of 1… benefit of the doubt star). But I was/​am really disappointed in my experience! I’m scared to go back even if it’s Usha because why would I ask for bad brows a second time? It’s a really convenient location for me, so that’s additionally disappointing.

Today was my first time; my eyebrows were already shaped and just needed a cleaning (which I stated).what I ended up getting was super thin eyebrows.
I doubt I will be back but from what I understand you should wait on Usha herself.

Not impressed at all. Just moved here from San Diego about 4 weeks ago and am searching for a new salon to stick with and this def won’t be it.
I got a brazilian wax and eyebrow threading. I bought a Groupon deal for $ 35 which is REALLY good for those two services. My aesthetician was Gina and she was extremely kind. Talked with her the whole time and she made sure that I was comfortable. However I was pretty surprised when she told me that the Groupon deal only included the front and it was an extra $ 20 for the back area (anus). ALL brazilian wax’s include everything, so I’m like what’s the point in purchasing the Groupon if you’re going to play this type of trick on us? So she went to the front to see if I can just pay $ 10, which they allowed. I was shocked by this. So don’t buy the groupon if you want a real brazilian wax, that half mess makes no sense.
Gina took her time and everything, but the wax just wasn’t as neat and clean as I’m used to. I was all sticky afterwards and my design wasn’t even neat. LOL I’m not going to say that I’m asking for too much when I know other salons are capable of doing it. So therefore I’ll be finding somewhere else to go. Also, I got a design and usually they give you the option of trimming it down, and she said she had no supplies to do so. So I had to do that at home. Ladies I’m not sure about you but I don’t like having to touch up something that should have been taken care of in the salon esp after paying for it. So maybe I got what I paid for… but that’s not the case because I bought a groupon for the place back home and the service was superb.
Another thing, my eyebrows… she left a good amount of hair on them to where I had to pluck some more when I got home. That’s no fun at all… I didn’t notice there was still hair around my brows until I looked super close in my car mirror.
Maybe so many people in Cali get waxes and threading done that there’s much more competition there that they HAVE to do a good job, and it’s just completely opposite here. But now I know for future reference I’m going to have to take a closer work once they’re «finished»
The staff was nice and everything BUT I wouldn’t recommend this place because it’s all about the work they put in.

**went back to try Usha (yes her name is Usha) for eyebrow threading. This time she was good just good and the next time, look at the pic! So uneven. NEVER going back. Salon is very dirty also

They did a good job on my eyebrows but were a little pricey for threading and took longer than usual to complete my eyebrows. The lady who did my brows also kept breaking the thread. I would go back if in the area but I prefer the places in cockeysville…

I’ve had my eyebrows done here twice, and they always look great! Their waxer has been in this business for 25 years, that’s dedication! Everyone’s so friendly, and $ 15 for a decent eyebrow wax with soy wax isn’t bad! I always tip $ 5, so $ 20 per month to have my brows done right? Not bad at all!

Lovely, knowledgable staff, great massage, convenient location with parking, warm atmosphere. 5-​Stars for the massage lady! However, the pedicure and color touch up for hair weren’t great. Having a convenient massage goes a long way, though. Management is friendly. I heard they have a new mani/​pedi person, but honestly, I like to sit in those massage recliners at the mall.

I had heard good things about this shop from a friend, and after seeing the positive Unilocal reviews I decided to finally take the plunge and try threading. I walked in and was immediately seated with a stylist. She went straight to work, and 5 minutes later my brows looked clean and natural — exactly what I wanted. She gave friendly instructions during the lip threading, and finished everything off with some sort of cooling gel, which she said was Ayurvedic. The prices seemed very reasonable ($ 12 eyebrows /​$ 5 lip), and everyone in the shop was friendly. I will definitely go back!

I have gone here for threading and taken a newbie to try threading. I also got my first bikini and leg wax here (sorry if TMI yo). The quality of threading is good and they charge what seems to be the normal rate here on the East Coast.
I have also had my first gel manicure and pedicure here. I normally do not care to chat with the manicurist and yet i had a heart to heart with this woman.
Usha is a delightful woman and so are the staff. I will agree that Usha is really good at threading but her staff are equally good at it as well. The décor is professional and clean. There is also plenty of parking in the back of the building.
They have multiple locations so do check the website for hours and a location nearest you before going. My overall impression was good and remains good. This salon is definitely worth a try.

Excellent service. I have been going regularly for eyebrows threading for about a year and half. I should try Usha next! She gave me a nice classic hair cut last Marsh.
They offer facials, waxing, and massages those the services I have tried before which were pretty good. The only thing I wish it change is the service price which is going up.
Loves Usha

I love threading and for some reason there is not nearly as many threaders in MD as there are in NJ. I have been looking for an experienced threader and Unilocal led me in the right direction without having to go to the middle of a public mall.
Usha is very professional and knows what she is doing in terms of keeping your natural shape. My brows look so good after she finished that I couldn’t stop staring at them!
I have been to the Baltimore location, but recommend only getting your brows done by Usha. It is $ 12 for eyebrows, but don’t forget to tip.

I love how they take care of me here. Yes, another review for Usha’s. :)
Thank you. My eyebrows look flawless!!!

GET YOUR EYEBROWS DONE ONLY FROM USHA (THE OWNER)!
I went to Usha Salon and Day Spa after I was very disappointed with my eye brow threading at Apsara Day Spa (Catonsville). After reading good reviews about Usha (the owner), I was determined to get my eye brows done by her.
SERVICE: The wait was an hour long for Usha! She is an old and experienced woman and her eye brow threading skills are good. In addition to the threading, I got my arms waxed from Pinal. I would not recommend this place for waxing. Pinal is very vernacular and odd! Alternative to Pinal is Sharon. She’s a hoity-​toity Middle Aged woman. Talks more but not bad. She is available by appointments only. The girl at the front desk was very helpful.
PRICE: I was charged 12 $ for eyebrow threading, 15 $ for armpit waxing and 35 $ for full hand waxing. I found it pretty expensive.
DECOR: The interior of the parlor is better than many other Indian parlors run by Indian’s. It seems much professional.

I adore Usha!
While I don’t go that frequently (every 2 – 3 months) She always does the best job! Between threading, I shape up my own brows by tweezing. She is so good at giving you a natural shape. It’s so worth it!
Also, they now have a location in Federal Hill and Usha is there on Tuesdays!
