Bless Threading N Beauty Spa

The business operates two locations. The Livermore studio sits among vineyards in the Livermore Valley and is reached from I-580 at North Livermore Avenue, next to Western Dental; phone 925-583-5488. The Castro Valley location has moved into its own building near CVS Pharmacy on Castro Valley Boulevard, in the Castro Valley hills; phone 510-940-8722. Livermore is open Tuesday to Friday 10 AM to 7 PM, Saturday and Sunday 10 AM to 6 PM, and closed Mondays. Email is threadingnspa@gmail.com.

On arrival, guests are offered a robe and lemon water. Brow and hair removal work is at the center of the menu. Threading uses sterilized cotton thread, shaped to the contours of each client's face for eyebrows, and the business says it is gentle enough for sensitive skin. Waxing follows sanitizing the area, with a premium wax removed by specialized strips. Brow shaping and full bikini waxing are offered, the latter for female clients only.

Hair services include cuts, precision styling and ammonia-free color, with aromatherapy treatments available. The business describes its professional hair cosmetic line as organic. Skin care is built around exfoliation with organic and natural products to remove dead skin, with the treatment chosen by skin type, complexion and whether acne or oiliness is a concern; it ends with a massage of the forehead, scalp and shoulders while a soothing cream is applied. Shirodhara is offered as a holistic spa treatment.

The business says it uses natural products across its treatments and customizes each service to the individual client rather than working to a volume-first model. Its home page cites more than 15 years of experience, and it says it has planted over 1,000 trees to help restore and protect the environment.

The business says it uses natural products throughout and tailors each treatment to the individual client rather than running a volume-first model.

The Livermore studio is set among vineyards in the Livermore Valley, while Castro Valley sits in the hills.
