The Threading Spa

When I leave this place you better hide ya kids, hide ya wives and beware of the beauty that are my eyebrows. I generally go every 3 weeks (2 – 3 is normal for threading as it doesn’t grow back as fast as waxing) and I have only had 1 so-​so experience at this one. There is a woman I can never recognize when I get there but she’s a bit older (theres a few of them) and she kills it. I am trying to grow my brows out and they are shaping them to allow me to do so. Its only $ 12 and tips can only come in cash. Sometimes a line can pick up but they don’t take to long and its worth the wait.

Wonderful experiences here for something I dread getting because of the pain. Jamuna is FANTASTIC and patient with me! So happy to have found this place! Thank you!

Idk if I’ve been lucky, and only gotten «the vets» but I have nothing but good experiences at this location. Very fast and efficient, great shape and cheaper than many places you’ll find in Boston!

Okay service

Went to a different girl than my regular Jaymoona and she made one eyebrow twice as thin as the other one, leaving my skin raw in the process. It was so obviously distorted but she still requested payment and didn’t try to remedy the situation. Young girl doesn’t speak English well. I wish they would vet their workers.

This place is only worth visiting on Sundays 12 – 7 when Rochana is working (I think that’s how you spell her name). I started building my schedule around hers in order to get my eyebrows done. If you come in with beat and messed up eyebrows, she can really fix them for you. She’s done it for me multiple times.

I get my eyebrows threaded religiously. I am always at this mall so the spa is very conveniently located. I try to let my guard down and trust that any girl will get the same job done but I was let down more than once here. I have definitely learned my lesson. I now ONLY get them done if Sarita is there. Apparently, they do not know what it means when I tell them to leave them as thick as possible. That’s not in their dictionary so if Sarita is not there, do not waste your time. Other than that, the price ($ 12) is probably the cheapest around that area and in Boston. I would give this place 5-​stars if it was owned by Sarita or if there were four Sarita clones, one at each station.
Also, I don’t understand why they have a phone listing because I have tried calling them a couple of times to see who is working that day and NO answer. I guess the phone isn’t working or there is no one to pick it up (which is strange because there is always a random person standing there doing absolutely nothing).

Great service, painless, and quick. I tried the newbury street location since it is a 10min walk from my house, but that was awful. I will gladly take the 25min t ride over for this place. I have been gettig threading for years, this is one of the best services I have gotten. Only complaint, the wait times, maybe it is time to upgrade to a larger space!

Thanks to this place, my eyebrows may never be the same, in a BAD way. Guess I should’ve expected as much from a mall spot. I have thick eyebrows. I like them that way. The girl I saw went to town and left barely anything there, without asking if that’s what I wanted. It doesn’t match my face shape or personal style. Brow pencil or gel doesn’t help either. I’ve been to three different threaders since then at different locations, to salvage what’s left, but the hair is refusing to grow back in some areas. So disappointed. This place is convenient, but the stylist I saw clearly had no idea what she was doing. Unless you’d had success with one specific person already, I wouldn’t risk going here.

I love this threading spa location! I have been to the Natick and Watertown locations, but this one is my favorite. Sarita (spelling?) has done my eyebrows several times. She is fantastic! I have very thick eyebrows that can be tough to shape and she does a great job every time. I highly recommend threading for those who usually tweeze/​wax.

Worst experience ever. The lady threading my eyebrows was really rough. After she was done she put some cream which really made the eyebrows burn. Looking in the mirror I noticed I was bleeding from 3 different places.
I showed it to the person in charge and she just stared at my face saying that she has never seen cuts like this before. NO APOLOGY.
I have been threading my eyebrows for the last 12 years and occasionally do get cuts, but what I had was more like burns. I don’t know if it was the thread or the cream, I am staying clear of this place.

This is my go-​to threading place. They always do a good job and the price is fair.
Just note that this place is not a spa, but a free standing kiosk in the mall.

Just saw someone else post on this place. I love it! Need the brows done every few weeks or it is a disaster. This technique they use with the threading for removing the eyebrow hair is quick and painless and they can shape them better I think.
The wax always made a rash on my face for the rest of the day and doing the brows this way is better for me.

I am new to boston. so after much of surfing and searching i finally decided to chek this place out.(much credit to the reviews here!!).this place is good. although there is a line of waiting when u go on weekends. but it doesnt take pretty much of time. n yeah ppl do see u getting ur eyebrows done. but that doesnt matter actually. its ok price wise 12 $ for eyebrows. the girl who did my eyebrows was a bit rough… but the final result was too good and perfect that it can be overlooked. nyc place overall.:))

I go to this place when I can’t make it home to dirty Jerzee for my standard brow job. Given that I pay half the price for my brow job in NJ, paying 12 bucks for eyebrows would be a rip off, most ppl would say. However, given there’s basically no place that does threading in the Boston area, and us ‘brown’ girls get desperate. Here’s a tip that I should’ve heeded from the previous posts: Stay away from the technicians that wear the threads around their necks. They’re not that good. There’s a couple of old-​standing technicians that have been there awhile – they usually work Wed and Fridays and they are good. The pros: one of the few places in Boston that does threading, they do take their time and do a good time, if you go to the right technician. Also can get some quick shopping done while there, and that’s always a plus Cons: High price, public place to get your eyebrows done.

I’m half Lebanese, and sadly, that’s the half that has taken control of my eyebrows. Frequent maintenance is essential and over-​plucking is laughably obvious. This necessitates three things, all of which are practiced at the Threading Spa

1) Cost-​effectiveness. Having to get the brows done every two weeks means that I can’t be draining large sums of money on them. This is the least expensive threading I’ve seen anywhere. Period.
2) I said «not to thin please» and they actually did what I asked. Usually any place short of a day spa makes me look like I painted mine on. I was impressed.
3) Cleanliness: I was apprehensive about what is essentially a mall kiosk. But they kept the area tidy and all the implements were clean and neatly stored. Phew!
The only reason it loses stars is that I’m really not a fan of having my brows done in the middle of a mall. It’s embarrassing enough that it has to get done without displaying it for the world to see. But it’s quick, clean, and cheap, and that’s all I really need.

PRO: My eyebrows came out BEAUTIFUL. She threaded them EXACTLY the way i like them.
CON: The lady’s threading style was SO ROUGH. Omg… I thought she was going to push my head/​eyeball into my brain. It was quite rough. :(Also, her hands smelled like onion… NOT the best experience… BUT i needed my eyebrows done so bad, I had to suck it up. It was a bit painful, but when I looked in the mirror… the cons didnt matter anymore.
I am still debating, however, if i want to go back to her…

So for the last couple of weeks I’ve been heading to the office at earlier and earlier hours and scurrying to my desk as fast as possible to avoid human contact. When I couldn’t avoid it, my coworkers politely avoided eye contact, or at least staring overly obviously at the Sasquatch-​Chewbacca patch that was my forehead.
Alas, after scouring Unilocal for a place that wasn’t in freaking Medford, I found decent reviews for this place. Price is reasonable — $ 12 for brows (My go-​to place in NYC is $ 8, but hey, I’ve also gotten used to the fact that everything in beantown is half as convenient and twice as expensive.) Pain was minimal — took a bit longer than the average threading place, but hey, these are major markers of human facial expression that you are talking about here. And most of all, they did a good job. I know this because a bum whistled at me as I was scurrying home, and I realized I could slow my scurry to a brisk jog, since I would no longer be mistaken to be a hairy mythical mountain creature.
One very strange warning for you gals (and fashionable gents) out there who want to give Threading Spa a spin — go during the evening. The reason? The chairs sit strangely under an open sunroof, where sunlight mercilessly hits you in your necessarily upturned face during the daytime. You might think this is alright if your eyes are closed, but the minute the sun came out today my eyes were watering in pain.

My eyebrows look wonderful after my trip to the Threading Spa! I absolutely love threading, your eyebrows look neater and it hurts a lot less than waxing. It is also way less irritating than wax if you have sensitive skin.
My technician at the Threading Spa was extremely nice and very thorough. She more than earned her tip, and for $ 15.00 (that’s $ 12 threading and $ 3 tip) you can’t get a better deal as far as making yourself look more put together is concerned.
It isn’t a private location, and people in the mall routinely stop to watch you get threaded, so if being on display bothers you, you should opt for a salon experience, but it will cost you a lot more.

I LOVE this spot! They do a really really great job and it’s so budget friendly! Although the salon itself is a bit — no thrills — the price is right, the service is great and your brows come out looking amazing! The other great thing about «The Threading Spa» is that there are tons of locations around Boston — Cambridge, Natick, Saugus, etc.
