Karizma Threading Salon

Not sure if the salon is running a scam or not.
Came in for a Brazilian blowout with groupon (which they tried to get me to cancel with groupon when I called to make the appointment because «we don’t make any money on it.» I called groupon but they put me on hold too long…) Appointment went fine — even gave me a mask to wear (although as a frequent person in an operating room I know the type of mask given is actually meant to be a physical barrier and no use against fumes etc). They were actually quite nice and I got a mini bottle of water. The confusing part was that after I got my hair flat ironed the stylist sent me on my way with some conditioning mask squeezed into a random plastic bag and instructions to not wash my hair until Friday (the day was Tuesday) and then rinse it with water only and apply the stuff she squeezed into a plastic bag on my hair.
I was a bit confused about this part (why would they leave stuff in my hair they themselves use gloves and masks to handle??) Mind you I have extra much of this product in my hair since my hair was long enough to be charged their $ 25 up charge for long hair.
So I googled — and after not finding any other salon that talked about sending clients home in the manner I was sent home, I called the salon back — but the lady who answered told me the stylist that did my hair was gone for the day and said she didn’t know what the process was. I asked her to call or text her to confirm because I could come back immediately and get it washed out. She called me back saying the stylist was in class… but now assured me what they did was normal. Still skeptical, I called the Brazilian Blowout company, who informed me they were supposed to rinse, condition, and reblowout my hair after the flat ironing step and advised me to go wash it out immediately. Also told me the only thing I can really do is file a complaint with the board of cosmetology… but I felt that was a bit extreme considering I didn’t have all the facts. So I called the salon back, and this time the receptionist told me she’d get the owner to call me back. The owner was quite nice and gracious — she told me leaving the product in the hair for days was normal and what they saw worked better with clients depending on their type of hair. She offered to rinse it out the next day since by this time it was close to 6:30pm and their closing time… but I told her I was more paranoid about my health and wanted to go wash it out immediately. So I did. No shampoo, mask for 10 minutes.
And now it’s the morning after… and I still am not sure how my hair looks because I don’t really care at this point. It looks kinda the same as before — maybe a smudge flatter. But I do have this crazy headache. Perhaps it’s the Texas heat. I am more paranoid about cancer. I want to believe them but at the same time I’m not convinced. I guess I feel partly jipped — if they really thought the product needed to be in my hair longer, why didn’t they set up another visit with me for Friday to complete the process? And if they understood my health concern, why didn’t she offer to reopen up her salon immediately to take care of it? It just screams in many ways a scam — or simply a poorly run and executed business. The service industry is a hard business to be in — but at least do what you advertise? Two stars because they were nice and for the part of the service I did receive, I thought it was done with good technique and finesse.

I went Karizma for the first time to get my eyebrows done and they did a great job! T he location is easily accessible, price was similar to the other places that I been to. Host was really nice and make me feel welcome. I will be a returning customer!

I go to karizma threading salon frequently for my brows. No doubt that they do a wonderful job. Also recently I decided to do a bun hairstyle and took an appointment with them. I loved my hairstyle. I will definitely go to them anytime

I’ve had Brazilian blowouts other places and finally stopped because they didn’t do much for my fine hair. I figured I’d try it again when I was destroying my hair with a flat iron. I am so glad I did! My hair looks and feels amazing. The lady (wish I could remember her name) was thorough and got every hair. I think their prices may be a bit higher than others but you truly get what you pay for here. I can’t recommend the blowout here highly enough. I will be back in 11 weeks!

I’ve been going to Karizma for over a year now. I so agree with others that it’s pricier than other threading locations, however, its still better location than most other places I’ve been to, even if it’s located in a Comfort Inn.
If you find someone good, you can come in on their days to make sure you get the same eyebrow shape each time (although I really doubt anyone will remember the shape after two weeks). Best strategy is to go with someone that is actually pretty good and make sure to sit on the farther sided recliner seat with the brighter light. I try to make it on Tuesdays but it’s not always feasible. There’s one lady who is super slow and so threading turns to be quite painful (horrible experience).
Everyone else is much faster and still accurate with their shaping. Threading is $ 10 and wax $ 6 for upper lip. Haven’t tried any other service here but they do offer full salon service.

I went I with a Brazilian Blowout coupon and found this gem. Nabia who did my hair was absolutely amazing. She also gave me a mask and a spray to use on my hair which has totally changed the consistency of my hair.
I went in 2 weeks later and Rasika now highlighted and colored my hair. Again an amazing job! I have received many many compliments for it.
Farheeda then did my eyebrows and I was very happy with it. Love this place! Thankful I found it after moving from boston recently! yay!

I like this place! Ask for Fareeda. She is really good. I went to a generic salon at the Galleria and the guy there totally ruined my eyebrows. This was two years ago. I came to Karizma and Fareeda did my eyebrows and I haven’t gone to anyone since. Let her take her time with it. Tell her what you want and it’ll be done!

This place is over priced. 16 $ for threading is too much. I pay 10 $ including tip in other salons in Irving. They charge double the regular price and they don’t even provide the service worth it. The lady didn’t even use moisturizer after threading. When i asked the lady there, why the rates are so high she started arguing with me. I remember getting my upper lip thread for 2 $. When i told her that she started arguing with me and saying she has been in this industry for 20 years and never the price was 2 $. All the salons in Irving and Plano charged 2 $. I guess some indian salons started charging 3 $ recently.
I couldn’t go to my regular salon as I didn’t have time so i decided to try this one which is in my neighborhood. I get many compliments for the shape of my eyebrows and the lady at my regular salon does amazing job. This lady started saying that they were too thin and the shape was bad, whoever did it didn’t do it good. I told her not to even tamper with the shape. She started saying that she does threading for all other ladies working in the other salons. She had a bid attitude problem. Overall my experience with this lady was terrible. I usually don’t get disappointed that easily but this lady turned me off completely.

So I purchased a Brazilian Blowout on Groupon thinking — whats the worst that can happen? It is a pretty easy procedure so I figured I would give it a try. I have gotten Brazilians in the past and the price point was almost too good to be true. Well — it wasn’t!
This salon specializes in threading and waxing but also do facials, hair styles, and… Brazilians. They are a certified salon of the Brazilian Blowout and use the actual Brazilian Blowout products. Process took a little over an hour and Nabia was extremely detailed and got every last little stubborn hair. An hour later — and my hair is amazing! So soft, shiny, and manageable. She even gave me some leave in conditioner to put in my hair the following day for my stubborn dry ends.
All in all a fantastic experience and I will definitely be returning.

Farida is absolutely amazing! I’ve gone to her on many occasions. My former eyebrow lady had ruined my eyebrows completely! After visiting Farida just a couple times, I’ve received a TON of compliments. Her facials leave my skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. She pays so much attention to detail and takes her time. Her work is incredible. I definitely recommend anyone to request her. I believe she works Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

I loved the service. Farida, who’s there Tue, Thurs, & Sat, is amazing. Great customer service and does a great job. She fixed my eyebrows for me and people now notice and complement me on my eyebrows. I’ll definitely go back to her again and recommend her to friends and family.

I get my nails done by Michelle. She does an AWESOME job! I’m very conservative so I don’t delve into the nail art to often, but I’ve seen her work on clients that were there before me and it’s pretty bad-​ass! This lady really knows her craft!

I’ve been going to Karizma for years and up until recently, I really liked it. The owner used to do my eyebrows and she did such a good job, it actually looked like I had more hair than before she started — just perfectly groomed.
But over a year ago, she stopped being there or sold it. I dunno. I’ve had a few other ladies do them since then and they’ve managed to do a good job. I think I kept coming here because it’s convenient to work and I can squeeze it in on my lunch break or after work. It’s on the ground floor of a sketchy looking motel but has a separate entrance clearly marked with their name on the sign.
I would’ve given them 3 or 4 stars, but now? There’s an older lady there who is awful! I was told she’s only there on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I’ve seen her each time I go in and she’s messed up my eyebrows each time. They were too wide and straggly and the hairs grew back faster so I needed them redone in a week instead of my usual 2 – 3 weeks.
The worst part? She’s SUPER SLOW when she threads and it’s TORTURE. My jaw hurts from clenching it and I have to remember to breathe through the pain. Not to mention her breath stinks and she smells like tuna fish and ends up rubbing her belly against me while she works.
NEVER AGAIN.

This review is for the hair stylist there, Denise, and her Brazilian blowout. Let me start with I originally scheduled my blowout on Monday (31 MAR) and due to an unforeseen work event, I had to reschedule. She usually only works at that salon on Sun/​Mon, but because I have an event this weekend, she made a special concession to get me in on Tuesday night. (win!) Once there, she explained all the different aspects of the blowout, and got to work. Despite the fact that I have A LOT of hair, we moved through the process (typically this is a 2 hr plus process) pretty quickly. Denise was very nice and knowledgeable. Also, my hair looks and feels AMAZING. I am looking forward to seeing it in a week or so, and will update again then. For her professionalism, kindness, knowledge, and flexibility I give this experience 5 stars!
Oh, and PS, if you just need a blowout, you should contact her, my hair looked like a VS model when it was done!

I miss this place. I used to come here for threading when I lived in Dallas and I recently moved. I have tried two threading places in my new location and neither comes close to Karizma, even though they charge more. All of the ladies here are very thorough — I have a lot of little light hairs on my browbone, the bridge of my nose and upper lip and they would get them all! My brows had a great shape, too, and the results lasted for a few weeks.

I was really upset with how the owner treated me. I had let my eyebrows grow out because I wanted a really clean threading, So I made sure to not tweeze prior to. I walked in Valentines day and there was no waiting line.
Ok so I tell her that I do NOT want my natural arch changed, nothing off the top, just to clean them up. I love the natural shape of my brows.
She asked, «do I want them thinner?»
I said, «NO.» Again, I like the fullness of my brows.
So she starts to do the first one, about 10 minutes in she hands me the mirror and I said, «oh no I don’t like it, can you fix it and make my shape come back, they look flat.»
So then, the next time she hands me the mirror they are now thinner! At this point I want to cry, they are a different shape AND thinner. I tell her to just at least make the other side match so they can grow out evenly.
She gets really agitated and before I can even defend myself, she starts to yell at me, (at this point there are people waiting,) yelling that I told her to make them thinner.
I said,” NO I told you NOT to make them thinner or lose the natural shape.“
I was really unhappy; she stormed out of the room, I was wondering if she was coming back, nope… she left me on the table, went to the register, started to ring me up, didn’t even wipe my face.
I was furious with how she treated me. There was no need to yell at me. If she would have just been apologetic or somewhat compassionate, I would have understood, hey sometimes they mess up, it happens, but the way she acted, how unprofessional. 1 star only because the place was very nice and clean.

I purposely let my brows grow out so that I could have them threaded. I decided to try here since it received decent Unilocal ratings. My other option was m Heena in Richardson, but it is further away.
Karizma is located in a retail space of a motel. A little strange, but okay. It has a nice sign above the door so you can see it. I went in and was immediately greeted, and ushered into the threading area. The woman, I am guessing the owner was not too personable, and she instructed me to hold my brows. It makes sense as she had to hold the thread, but it took me a minute to figure out what she meant. She worked fast, and did a really good job of shaping. The threading was $ 10.00.
I definitely recommend checking out this place if you are into threading. They do waxing as well.

This salon is great. Affordable eyebrow threading that looks fantastic and maintains itself for about 2 – 3 weeks.
The ladies are nice. I’ve been going here for years because they do such a great job :)

I’ve been using this place consistently now for about two months. I get my eyebrows threaded and my lip threaded. I never have an appointment, just walk in. I’ve had to wait once for about 5mins.
I’m pretty picky about the shape of my eyebrows, I think every girl is to some degree. And if you’re not, you should be. Good brows can make a world of difference!

I went today for the first time. She does a good job but no better than anyone else I’ve been too. I went during lunch and there was a wait. I’ll definitely go again but I’ll make an appointment next time.
