House of Beauty Yorba Linda

Founded in 2003 by Sadia Zafar, a licensed cosmetologist, House of Beauty opened its first salon in a Riverside shopping center beside UC Riverside, and the original location is still in that plaza in a different storefront. The business describes itself as family-owned and says Zafar was the first cosmetologist to introduce eyebrow threading in Riverside County. In 2018 it received a Certificate of Recognition from Council Member Andy Melendrez marking 15 years in business.

Threading covers brows, lip, chin, cheeks, forehead, neck, sides and full face, and the business says it uses controlled, chemical-free technique. Brow tinting is matched to each client's skin tone and natural brow shape, and brow lamination can be booked alone or paired with tint and threading.

Facials range from express and European treatments to microdermabrasion, dermaplaning and hydrofacial, along with customized facials aimed at deep cleansing, hydration and anti-aging care. Light therapy is listed at the Yorba Linda location. Body waxing covers legs, arms, bikini, underarms, back and full body, using premium, skin-friendly formulas, and is performed by trained estheticians.

Hair services include cuts, color, highlights, relaxers, perms, press and curl, blow dries, flat iron and curling iron styling, and deep conditioning. The Temecula location takes hair services by appointment only. Henna designs are hand-crafted for weddings and cultural events using natural, skin-safe henna. Ear and nose piercing is done with sterile, hypoallergenic equipment under strict hygiene protocols by trained specialists, and professional makeup is offered for bridal events and special occasions.

Walk-ins are welcome at all locations, and appointments can be booked online or through the House of Beauty app, which also shows services and availability and sends confirmations and reminders, with app-only deals. A membership program offers member savings, and free parking is available at all salons. Listed starting prices include eyebrow threading from $12, microdermabrasion at $125 and full body waxing from $300. The business says it serves a diverse clientele from many backgrounds and cultures.

Threading is done with controlled, chemical-free techniques, and the business says it aims for high customer satisfaction, excellent service, quality products and reasonable prices.

According to the business, its artists work in a friendly, fair and creative environment.
