Fairy Beauty Salon

Friendly staff, clean salon, reasonably priced, and painless service. I had a Brazilian done and it took 25 minutes… tops. When I was near to completion, my esthetician recommended I try eyebrow threading. I was hesitant at first because I had a few scattered short hairs but, she assured me that she will clean it just as nicely — if not better than wax. I am a firm believer in trying anything once — so I agreed. I am very glad that I took her advice. Clean, groomed and beautifully arched. I will return, for sure.
The only disadvantage is the location but, I was able to find it after reading some user reviews here. Thanks again, Unilocal

Perfect Results, Imperfect Experience.
So I did extensive research to have my eyebrows and upper lip threaded FOR THE FIRST TIME and was pretty nervous. Ive always been intimidated by threading and I have really thick hair and sensitive skin that even facials are not fun. So after a Facebook survery from girlfriends and researching reviews on Unilocal,I decided to take my 1^st chances on Fairy Beauty Salon.
I called ahead and found out there was a wait, so i was able to make an appointment. I drove over (it was cold and I’m 2 stops away, I dont play) and was about 5 minutes late to my appointment, promise. My Google Maps has Fairy Beauty Salon as 31 – 19 30^th Ave and I could not find it. I realized after calling that 31 – 08 is the salon and is actually called DAWA Threading Salon. The Unilocal Ratings for this place were 3.5 stars which is why I didn’t want to go here. Tricky Tricky.
Here is DAWA Threading Salon Unilocal Review
I did have a hard time finding the location since it’s named DAWA. When I got to the right place, another girl was already buzzing for the door. You have to dial #005 to have them let you in. No one answered and so both of us took turns calling the business. We both got through to someone once and then they started not answering. Weird. Thankfully one past costumer came down and let us in. Ugh.
Finally I walked up the stairs and came into a salon with at least 6 women waiting on queue. It was a Sunday and there were only 2 ladies working, one was already mid-​pedicure. She had the cordless phone by her and she was the one ignoring the phone ringing over and over. Boooooooo costumer service. Answer the phone, lady.
Our threading lady came out from the back and was finishing up someone in the back. I tried telling her about my appointment but then realized that she probably wouldn’t remember. So i just waited and watched before I had my first threading experience. There were maybe 4 women before me and threading doesn’t take forever so I didn’t wait more than 15 minutes. I was in no rush so I was okay with it.
When it was my turn, I told the lady that It was my 1^st time and she taught me how to hold my face to stretch the brow.
BOY DOES IT HURT THE FIRST TIME! FAIR WARNING TO ALL FIRST TIME THREADERS; OUCH!
But she was very patient with me and with the process and took her time. I was the more nervous one and she would tell me to relax and explained that it usually hurts the first time. I wish she would have warned me first! After my brows, I was a wimp and said I didn’t want to get my upperlip done only because the brow experience was painful. And man; only $ 6! Not too shabby.
So will I go back? I don’t know, I’m still on the fence. Like everything else in life; the first time always is the worse. But I really dont’ mind waxing. All the pain AT ONCE is okay with me.
However, my Eyebrows look FIERCE. She did a fantastic job. She even put some soothing lotion afterwards and massaged my temples to make sure I was calm and collected. That was nice :).

i moved to Astoria in July on 2010 and was in need of a new place to get my eyebrows done. A friend mentioned that she gets her threading done here. I decided I would give this place a try.
They recently just moved across the street and are located upstairs from subway. The salon is SO much bigger than the previous location across the street. They also have pedicure chairs and do nails now. I used to come only for my eyebrows, but now I get my arms and legs waxed there as well.
Oh did I mention Dawa has hired two-​three more women? It’s great! You rarely have to wait! I come here at least once every three weeks and its awesome because the women who work there really remember you. They make waxing/​threading as painless as possible! I definitely recommend this place!

Nice staff –
$ 6 for eye brow treading!
Just moved across the street

Fairy Beauty Salon is a nice small salon. I have to admit, its location is horrible because its so hard to find… its around the corner from 30^th Ave and it doesn’t even have a huge sign or anything… it’s on the same block as Athena’s Nails… it’s seems like its randomly in a building that’s next to a flower shop. So when you turn from 30^th Ave you’re next to the building with the flower shop, you’re going to be a door where you will have to get buzzed in. You then have to go up a small staircase which leads you to the salon. The only reason why I know about this place is because of a friend.
The place is very small, but its nice and clean. There are a maybe 2 – 3 chairs in front of a large mirror for getting facials or threading/​waxing for your face. And there are also two small rooms where you can get body waxing done.
The prices for waxing at the salon are good. A Brazilian wax cost $ 30 and Full legs also cost $ 30. I never did any threading at this salon. I took a picture of the card with the prices for the services. I think it should be under photos for the Unilocal page for Fairy Beauty Salon. so check it out if you’re interested.
They also give you a small business card where they write down every time you come in for any service. During your 7^th visit you can get free eye brow threading. Just make sure you don’t lose the card.
Ok, so I gave this place a 3 out of 5 for multiple reasons.
First, the place is owned and run by a Nepali lady named Dawa. She is a sweetheart and she’s really good with waxing. But, I think she’s the only one who works there! I remember waiting almost 30 minutes while she was in the room waxing another customer. And when it was finally my turn, she kept me waiting in the room whenever there was a phone call or a customer trying to get buzzed in. I felt kind of bad for her because she is clearly over worked. She has to definitely get at least 2 more ladies who can help her.
Second, they are closed on Mondays even though their business card says that they are open Monday –Sunday. I went there on a Monday… IN THE RAIN… only to find out that they were closed! I tried calling before I got there, just to let her know that I was coming… but after 2 rings it went straight to an automated voice mail. She could have at least made the voice mail message say that they were closed on Mondays! Yea, so I took a picture of the schedule which was outside the door, just so I wouldn’t make the same mistake again.
Finally, the prices for threading seem a little high if I compare them to my regular threading salon (Maldi Beauty Parlour in Flushing). They charge $ 30 for a full face thread… I’m used to paying $ 20 for the same service. I never dd any threading here, so I can’t tell you if she’s good at it… but my friend who introduced me tot he place said that she sucks at doing eyebrows. Again, that’s my friend’s opinion, not mine. Dawa is good with body waxing though.
Overall, if you go in the morning before lunch time, I think the place is kind of empty. so its the best time to get waxed. A Brazilian wax for $ 30 is a steal when you compare it to prices from other salons in the city. If you get lost trying to find the place, just give Dawa a call.
