I arrived early for my appointment and only waited 10 minutes before it was my turn. The receptionist greeted us as soon as we got in the door and was nice. My threader’s name was Sadia, and she was great! Very professional (explained what she was doing before she did it), and she’s the first threader’s to have gotten the shape of my eyebrows as close as to a picture I had of my ideal shape (a previous threader of mine messed them up so I knew I couldn’t get them perfectly done). When she was done, she made sure I was happy with how it looked and gladly fixed any concerns I had. Overall, I recommend her, and will be returning since it’s well worth the price.

I recommend trying threading if you haven’t already and are thinking of it. It was my first time doing it. It is a bit more painful than waxing however it is better for the elasticity in your skin. I really love the results. The girl who did my eye brows did a great job shaping them. I’m very happy.

First time threaded! A great experience after getting burned by regular wax @ another salon. My hair grows back really fast but after getting my eyebrows threaded, it took my hair 2 weeks to grow back. They even helped to reshape my eyebrows.

Great value, fast, good looking brows!

Anju is my new go to brow place. I was out in 10 minutes, and my threading was done so precisely and with such care that I am in awe of how great my brows look. For just $ 13 these sweet ladies shaped my brows perfectly and painlessly. Plus the facility is swanky and beautiful. I’ve tried every kind of brow maintenance. This one beats them all.

Just stopped by here from out of town. Quick, easy, great job. Very friendly. $ 13 for eyebrow cleanup. Yes, it’s on the second floor and I walked by the entrance twice.

This was my first time, the door into the building was a little hard to find. My eyebrow look so much better with threading compared to having them waxed. Also I’m not left with redness on my face. Will definitely go back. The price is a little steep but worth it.

This place really underwhelmed me. I got my brows threaded and under a week later I had to pluck stray hairs already. One and a half weeks later had to pluck pretty long ones again. For the price point I definitely expected more precision. Customer service was adequate but not by any means impressive. Cold and not personal, didn’t really feel that valued as a patron. Definitely not returning.

I’ve been getting my eyebrows threaded for a while now and have been to anju a few times. It is not my first choice of places to go, but it is closer to my apartment and is a good option when those puppies are looking scraggly. It is a little tough to find, as others have said. Look for the door to get into Caribou café and shuffle a little to the door right to the left of it! You’ll see the buzzer that says Anjuthreads and they’ll buzz you up.
The salon is nice and bright, it actually almost hurts my eyes when it is a sunny day, but I guess it’s good lighting to see all the little hairs that they have to get rid of! I suggest making an appointment if you do not want to wait, especially at peak hours. The staff is very nice and professional. They do a good job of asking you what you want and giving some helpful tips on how to get the shape you’re looking for. It is a bit uncomfortable in some parts where your skin is more sensitive, but it’s really not too bad. I have liked the results most times I’ve gone, but have not been blown away every time.
I do think 13 dollars is a little steep and even places in Rittenhouse cost less than this. On top of that, tips are cash only which is inconvenient. Worth it if you’re in brow crisis!

Nice space! She shaped my brows cleanly — cost $ 13. Tips are CASH only, I couldn’t tack it onto my card. It’s a little confusing trying to get in the door, it’s right next to the restaurant’s door and you have to be buzzed up.

Overall I had a good experience here and will be back.
To start, the inside of this salon is stunning. There was a short wait time but I didn’t mind at all because of how nice the atmosphere was. It’s super bright and very clean.
My actual threading experience was relatively painless and did not take long. My only complaint at Anju Threads was that it seemed every few minutes someone was ringing the bell to come in, resulting in my threading being interrupted about 5 times so that the door could be opened by the lady who was threading me.

From my several experiences at Anjuthreads and under the care of different staff, my threading experience has been one of consistent quality. And this is what any woman (and perhaps male of personal aesthetic appreciation) wants in an eyebrow salon. Eyebrows shape the face, and if a shoddy work is completed, can take weeks to a month to grow back well. So Anjuthreads excels in dependability. The salon is somewhat tricky to find: the entrance of the stairwell that leads to the salon shares the entrance to Caribou Café. So if you see this restaurant, venture in and you will see the glass door of the stairway. Then ring the bell for the 2^nd floor and you will be buzzed in.
Some words of advice for newbies to threading: if you are the sensitive type or your face already feels puffy, this will hurt a little more. Do not give into fear. Threading allows your eyebrows to gain better shape and thickness over time. I always explain to the person threading my eyebrows that I want «cleaned eyebrows only and to keep them thicker.» Because no one likes pencil eyebrows or little wisps of hair where expressive, strong brows should be. Over time with threading, you will also notice that you will be less prone to ingrown hairs.

I really like the place. I would say the one thing I don’t like is that there is no student discount for services — I would definitely recommend more people if there was this option. My favorite brow specialist is Kaboon (sorry if that’s spelled wrong!). She’s really attentive during the consult and makes sure that you get exactly the shape you are looking for. I went once and she was not there and I was in a crunch so I just went with the first person available. I don’t remember her name, but I do remember she was not as good.
The salon itself is great — very clean, beautiful floor to ceiling windows to let in natural light. I’ve only ever gone in the middle of the day, so I’ve never had to wait more than 15 min to get my brows done, but I imagine it’s a little busier during lunch and right after work.

Eyebrows on fleek thanks to Anjuthreads! Love love love this super clean and friendly salon quietly located on a 2^nd floor Walnut Street perch. I’ve never made an appointment because they accept walk ins and the wait has never been more than a few minutes even when there has been someone being taken care of ahead of me. The girls are all really sweet and the service time from start to finish is no more than 10 minutes for a simple eyebrow threading.
I know that threading isn’t for everyone, but it’s quick, clean and relatively painless with far less swelling and redness than a waxing. Standard thread is $ 13 and if you check-​in on Facebook for Instagram they will knock $ 3 off of your service. If you’re still going to other thread salons, you’re doing it wrong.

This place is awesome! It took me a few minutes to find it, but, it was worth it. This was my first time, I’m allergic to most waxes and decided to give threading a try after seeing a groupon for Anju.
It was great! I was in and out within 5 minutes. There was minimal pain, and my brows look GREAT! I’ll definitely be back for another session.

I’ve been to anju enough times to give a solid 4 stars.
My first visit was during the Unilocal infamous primp event where cake pops and bubbly flowed freely while we had «touch ups «done to our brows.
I’ve been back with the help of living social deal, a friends gift and will continue to have my brows threaded here. All the techs that I have seen have done an amazing job and explaining and listening and I even had the honor and privilege of having Anju herself thread me once. The salon is clean and everyone that works here is super friendly. my reasoning for 4 stars instead of 5 is the price. There are at least 4 other threading salons within a 7 block radius and offering the same type of service with a smaller price tag. I think if the option of water or wine was included while I waited I think this additional touch would warrant the 13.00 price tag since it would then become more of a spa like experience. I will continue to go as I am done with waxing on my brows and the threading lasts a lot longer.

I think if this place has any negative reviews, it’s probably from second rate threading places that are trying to drum up competition.
Anju is amazing. This is not your mall-​stand threading service. The place is clean and professional. They are located on the top floor above a bar, so you need to ring the doorbell to get access. Once you go upstairs, the place just opens into this beautiful salon with big windows and lots of light. The atmosphere was great.
I had my eyebrows done by Anju herself and she really took the time to talk to me about what look I wanted, as opposed to just «do you want thin or not». She took her time in shaping them, trimming, and applied a really wonderful rose scented toner. There was no redness or bleeding. The whole process was gentle and painless and I have THICK brow hair. Needless to say, my eyebrows came out flawless.
I absolutely recommend this place. There aren’t too many threading salons in Philly, but this is definitely number 1. If you’re looking to switch from waxing to threading, have never threaded before, or have only gone to mall stands, this is an excellent place to go get introduced to professional threading.

Excellent threading but a bit over priced and often, a significant wait despite appointment times. I’ve been threaded by a of the girls working, and have never been disappointed– each listened to what I asked for and delivered.

Very professional and personable! I’m nice clean and crisp atmosphere. the price for eyebrows was average. Harinder was awesome, she shaped my eyebrows just as I requested and she listened to detail. Often times when I tell people I want my eyebrows cleaned and to stay full, I usually leave with an arch that is unnatural…
I recommend that you stop by and ask for Harinder.
I will be a regular just as long as the prices do not skyrocketed. It is in center city so don’t be frustrated with the parking it is what it is!

I’ve been going to Anjuthreads for almost three years, and I would say I’m reasonably satisfied. They do a good job with threading, and I’ve never been disappointed. The place is modern and clean, and in general, service has been consistently pretty good, though I will say that they are kind of cold on the whole.
The only thing that continues to annoy me is how ridiculously expensive they are. $ 13 to get your eyebrows done is UNHEARD of. I realize they’re in a nice part of center city, but as soon as there is a cheaper competitor, I will definitely go there!
