Mona's Threading N Skincare started with a length of cotton thread, a steady hand, and a lot of practice getting brow lines to land exactly where they should.
Seven-plus years later, that's still the whole business. One studio, one technician, no corporate playbook standing between you and the person actually shaping your brows.
Every brow line sculpted to honor your natural facial features.

There's a real difference between someone who has just learned to thread and someone who's spent years reading a face before she touches it.
She's not working off a fixed template. She's looking at your bone structure, the symmetry you already have, the shape that's genuinely yours instead of whatever's trending on social media.
But if you’re looking for a specific style, just show the photo, and she’ll know what to do.
That's the kind of judgment that only comes from doing this hundreds of times over, on hundreds of different faces, and paying attention the whole way through.
It also means the early nerves that come with a new client tend to fade fast. Threading close to the eyes and along the lip line makes some people tense up before their first appointment, especially when they’re not sure what to expect from their first appointment.
That tension usually settles within the first few minutes here, once it becomes clear the person doing the work isn’t rushing and knows exactly what they’re doing.
Honoring natural bone anatomy, eye spacing, and individual symmetry over cookie-cutter templates.
Bring any reference photo you love, or let Mona tailor a shape that genuinely enhances your unique look.
First-time tension melts away with a steady, experienced touch that never rushes through an appointment.
Threading built this studio, and it's still the specialty – eyebrows, full face, chin, lip, forehead, all handled with the same care whether it's your first appointment or your fiftieth.
But Mona's Threading N Skincare has gradually evolved past threading alone. Full body waxing is now on the menu. Facials give your skin an actual break instead of another layer to manage. Eyebrow tinting adds color that threading alone can't provide, giving the finished brow more depth.

The Artisan Commitment: A growing service list doesn't mean losing the personal touch that built the place to begin with. Every treatment still runs through the same person, in the same small studio, with the same attention.
Being a local threading salon on Laurel Street means the person who answers your text is the same person doing your brows later that day. There are no automated messages and no rotating staff to whom you have to re-explain your preferences at every visit.
Walk-ins are welcome here for exactly that reason. Some days don't leave room for booking a week out, and this studio was built to work with real schedules instead of asking clients to work around it.
Appointments are available too, for anyone who'd rather plan ahead, and texting tends to get the fastest response.
Life gets busy, and brow touch-ups don't always fit into a rigid booking window. Drop in directly at our Laurel Street studio during business hours — seven days a week.

Text / Call (650) 307-9014Most clients are local, but plenty drive in from Belmont and Redwood City specifically for this studio rather than settling for whatever's closest to home.
The short drive tends to feel worth it once you've had a set of brows shaped by someone who actually knows what she's doing with them.
That kind of pull says something about how word travels in this business. Threading isn't a service people typically research for hours before booking. Most clients find Mona through someone else who already trusts her, a coworker or a friend who mentions the name once and means it.

More than 7 years in, and Mona still does every appointment herself, which is a big part of why clients keep coming back year after year instead of starting over somewhere new every time their brows grow out.
