I started going to Sona Chaandi years ago for eyebrow threading during my undergrad days, and I try to visit for a cleanup whenever I'm in the neighborhood.
The payment process isn't confusing at all, and I haven't waited more than 10 minutes to be seated at a station. I've never had any issues with rude staff, bleeding or injury of any kind to my brow area. Though the staff may be quiet and not overly friendly, I've never felt that they were hostile in any way. But honestly, I believe it might just be a language barrier. It's tough to be chatty if English isn't your first language, so I'm not offended if I don't feel excessively pampered here. I come here for one reason only, and that's to have my brows cleaned up and artfully shaped-- not to be coddled.
I've probably had my eyebrows done by every staff member, and each of them take their time and are meticulous when working on them. I always leave feeling happy with my brand new brows. One thing I feel is missing is just some aloe vera to soothe the area.
I haven't bought any fabric or jewelry from the store, but I've browsed through it occasionally. They've even had celebrity customers such as Gwen Stefani and Freida Pinto. If I ever need beautiful and colorful fabric, I'll definitely visit them. If it's good enough for an A lister, then it's good enough for me!
