Begum’s Salon

I can only comment on my experience and here it is: Even with an appt for a haircut, there was some confusion but I did leave with the haircut I paid for (almost). When I’m spending time and money for a service, I expect focus and attention on me and my needs — not the random street person who came in begging for money, or the chatty assistant who hovered without helping, or the personal phone calls all while on my time. Is it just me or !!!
My haircut was not to include a bang trim but I got it anyway. The blow dryer should NEVER be on the HOTTEST setting EVER and honestly I am over reminding hair professionals of that.
So, the ladies there were nice enough and the place seemed clean and comfortable but it was not a pleasant experience for me — but that’s just me.

They do a great job and the eyebrow threading service is fast. This is a nice local spot. I’ve tried Sana and Nelsa and I liked both of them (sorry if I misspelled there names).

This has to be my new favorite place to get my eyebrows done. I’ve been searching for a new spot and I finally found them. They are clean, gently, and do exactly as you ask. I’m very picky with my eyebrows and believe me I’ve tried everywhere. So to find someone who does exactly what you ask is a plus for me. I recommend this place to everyone.

Not sure who did my brows, but I stopped in because of the $ 5 brow special on Unilocal.The woman was very pleasant and this was the least painful threading I have ever had! They look great and id go back if I lived in the area!

Was recommended from a friend for facials and threading. Minoo did an excellent job with both. Her staff was super friendly and helped explain the different facials that they offer. I recommend the 1 hour facial if you have time. They make you feel very comfortable & even let you request your music preference if you have one. Everything seemed reasonably priced and they have 2 locations to choose from.
I would recommend :)

They did a great job! I had my eyebrows threaded and the sides of my face waxed. It is a bit awkward at first, but they warm up!

Had my eyebrows threaded here today for the first time as I just moved rather close by. Best shaping for my eyebrows yet and I’ve been to some of the best places around Atlanta. I was very impressed. Sana was who I saw. Highly recommend :)

Worst place to cut child hair. So I’m new to Georgia and decided to go here to cut my son hair. The owner didn’t know what she was doing. She don’t even have the right equipment now my son hair is ruin never go there again.

I usually give really good reviews to businesses, but this one I can’t. The service here is terrible, but when they thread my eyebrows, it is pretty good. So basically, this is what happens EVERY DAMN TIME I COME HERE. I walk into the salon, and luckily, I don’t have to wait very long. I go sit on this little threading chair, and they thread my eyebrows. Then, this is when the hell happens. All the employees who have threaded my eyebrows WANT TO THREAD MY UPPERLIP WHEN I SPECIFICALLY SAID TO WAX IT! So this is what happens:
Me: «Can you please wax my upper lip?»
Employee: «No, no, threading is better for you.»
Me: «Mam please I want wax.»
Employee: «At least try the threading.»
Me: «No thank you, it hurts.»
Employee: «I will try threading, and if you don’t like it, I will wax.»
Me: «PUT THE DAMN THREAD DOWN AND WAX BIATCH!!»
Okay, maybe I over reacted on that but this ALWAYS happens to me. And then when she waxes my upper lip, they always burn my skin!!! It’s like just because I didn’t want to thread my upper lip, they burn my skin with wax. Screw them, don’t come here. And then there is this little short employee that looks at me like i’m foreign trash. Did I do anything wrong? No. So stop looking at me like I just killed the entire world population. I’m done here.

WORST FACIAL EVVVVVERRRR! DO NOT GO! I wish I could rate it a ZERO!
First and foremost the sheets were disgusting. The towel which had to be wrapped around you had hair in the velcro, and the head wrap which was supposed to be white, was completely brown and tarnished with dirt. The procedures used to do the facials are painful and aggressive. I had to stop the young lady from scrubbing because they actually rub over your eye with these beads that ended up very painfully in my eyeball. The steam they use to open the pores was two feet from my face and so hot I had to move the machine back altogether. Not only that, but I was left in the room while this steam machine was going on my face. The next step they use this highly fragranced cream, and NO skin expert would recommend ANYTHING with fragrance on your face. Throughout the procedure I asked the young lady to stop with the aggressive scrub and the fragrance as well as having to remove the machine from being so close.
I wished the complaint stopped there. We attempted to speak with the owner to express the nature of our distaste with the services and the procedures. His response was we sat through an entire meal and waited to the end to complain. I interjected to advise the complaints began when the appetizer, the soup, and the entrée were sent back. I explained the room was freezing cold and his amenities were disgusting. I said if anyone were in here, they would shut his business down. He advised we would need to do whatever we had to do. At that point I went to take a photo of the disgusting sheet and head wrap. I got the photo of the sheet, but the head wrapped was snatched from my friend’s hands in the process of trying to get a picture. At that point in his anger he told us to get out and proceeded to call the police and we in turn did the same. The turnout was the officer said the owner just wanted us to leave and we were not required to pay for the services. I explained to the officer the money was not at all an issue, it was of the poor service and we did wish to give two people who took the time to attempt to provide a service SOME type of compensation, but we were treated like our bad experiences meant nothing. We spoke to the officer about the owner’s aggressiveness when put on the spot by what he didn’t care about during the moments of complaint, only in the moment of embarrassment. The sad thing is, my friend and I were in two separate rooms and had the same bad experience. It was at least 20 minutes while we sat in the lobby and went back to the room and they still bore the same nasty sheets. This confirms they were to put our other two friends through the same, distasteful experience. This may be how they do things in India, but welcome to America!

So, while I was in town visiting family, I figured that I’d go get my hair done at a Dominican salon since there are none where I live. I had a the best hair cut of my life when I was in Dominican Republic, so I keep searching for someone with similar skills. I went to one Dominican salon with high hopes, you know, positive vibrations = good hair cut, right? Wrong! My hair was awful.
Could I wait until I got home to fix my hair locally? Absolutely not. I am of those who can’t sleep well when I have have a bad hair cut, regardless of who will, or in most cases, will not see it.
So, I turned to Unilocal looking for a place to fix my hair and I stumbled across Begum’s and decided to give it a try. And I’m glad I did!
I got to the salon and they immediately took me back. The owner not only fixed my hair cut, but also requested that I either stop back by or call after wearing the cut and/​or styling it myself to let her know how I liked it. Was this request a direct result of her knowledge that I had looked up reviews of the salon and might actually review it myself? Quite possibly. However, maybe she really wanted to know if I liked my hair, you know, seeing as that what I walked it with resembled something a kindergartener would create with safety scissors.
While there, they convinced me to get my eyebrows threaded. It was my first time with threading and I was not at all prepared for the discomfort of the experience as I often go the painless route and use a razor to groom my eyebrows. That said, I liked my eyebrows a lot yesterday, but I LOVE them today.
My biggest problem in life now will be finding a salon of quality where I live. Driving 7 hours just to get my eyebrows threaded and a trim seems a little crazy.
All of that aside, I had a great experience at Begum’s Salon and it is definitely a place I will frequent while in town visiting family.

This place is a bit off the beaten path from my house, but the other salon I’ve gone to for threading in Gwinnett closed. They took me right away and did a good job. You can’t beat the price. I will go back!

Went here for eyebrow threading. I wanted to try some other places to see if they’re as good as my regular threading lady. It’s a ‘women only’ salon. She didn’t do too bad on the threading, a little slow on the pull for my tastes. The girl that did my eyebrows was trying hard to sell me a facial, apparently it looked like my face needed it??? The outcome of the threading wasn’t bad, but I will stick with my regular salon.

This salon does hair, facial and threading. For those who aren’t familiar with threading, it’s an Indian technique of using thread to remove facial hair without leaving red bumps and future ingrown. Ingrown sucks!
Anyways, I found this place through google search and have been coming there for over a year now. I’ve only done 2 things there: threading and 1 Indian-​style Pearl facial. That was the most interesting facial I’ve ever gotten. I’m not sure if my face felt cleaner or more clogged with pores. Let’s just say that I would only go there for the threading.
I recommend Minoo — she’s the owner and she does a really good job with my brows. I also recommend you calling in advance to make an appointment with her because they always seem to be short-​handed. Otherwise your wait could be over an hour +. No kidding!
The price is very affordable!
