M&M Thread Salon
My monthly adventure out to Berkeley may be coming to an end. Well, kinda. Berkeley gets their monthly dose of me for two reasons: (1) Vik’s Chaat Corner and (2) Eyebrow Threading.
Until Vik’s opens up a location in San Francisco, I will still definitely still be making the trips out there. However, for eyebrow threading that is a different story. Growing up, my Mom always instilled the mantra “Threading: Good. Plucking and Waxing: Bad” to my sister and I. So, of course, I have always threaded by eyebrows. I was rather spoiled as a teenager, because the “eyebrow lady” (how my sister and I so affectionately called her), was a mere 5 minutes from our house. Then I moved across the country to West Philadelphia. And finding my “eyebrow lady” there was more of a challenge. But I managed, and found someone who did a great job at a reasonable price. Then came my arrival to San Francisco. I searched and searched and searched. One day, walking down Union Street in the Marina, I came across a sign sitting outside the Union Street Apothecary that said “Eyebrow Threading: Walk-Ins Available”. Score! Seema (the aesthetician) did an amazing job! I was impressed! Until I was told how much it cost. For an eyebrow threading, that I typically paid $7 for growing up, costed me $32. You’ve got to be kidding.
Because I knew that price would not work for me, I ventured out to Berkeley and found a salon on University Avenue that offered eyebrow threading for $8.
But times have now changed. Because Reena Pandey, the aesthetician behind M and M Thread Salon opened up a Studio in Downtown San Francisco (on Sutter between Mason and Powell Street). And she charges $10.
They accept walk-ins for eyebrow threading, but make sure you have some cash or a check on you, because they don’t accept plastic.
And now, there is one less reason for me to leave the 7×7 radius of the city I love.
