Panache Beauty & Threading Salon

I use to love this place for eyebrows. Quick service, clean, and professional. However, the owner cut back her hours and hired a new girl. This new girl twice has told me to come back because she had to wash someone else’s hair (she’s the only one working). Another time I came right at opening but she was late. Another time I came 10 minutes to closing and she told me she was no longer taking customers. All the other times I have been here have been great but they are not reliable… especially if you drive far. I was a regular customer but I might have to find another place. They do such a good job though. My suggestion for the owner is to have more than one employee if there’s a hair appointment or to limit hair appointments on days where there’s 2 people working.
You’ll be fine if you:
1. Don’t come during opening
2. Don’t come close to closing
3. Hope you don’t come when she’s cutting/​dying/​washing hair

Hemma (sorry if I am spelling wrong) does a significantly better job than the other stylist-​anytime the young lady has done my brows I have to go home and do a clean up job. I would recommend opting for Heema as she has better technique, more experience and has never left me with any cuts unlike the ones I received today.

People constantly notice my brows and compliment me on them. If you haven’t tried threading, you should, and you will never have to be burned with hot wax again! Much more gentle on your skin and precise. Give it a try. This place is great and provides a good value for their services. Would highly recommend.

Heema is the best! I had a great first experience and will definitely be coming back. There was no redness after, which was great because I had to go straight to work

I never give bad reviews because it is generally quite simple to please me. I went here to get my eyebrows done for new year, and left unhappy. The entire experience was not exactly bad, the place was clean and nice and the people working there were not impolite or disrespectful to customers. However, my brows were not neatly done. She did it within a minute or two and I needed to ask her to remove the hair underneath my brows twice after she said it was done. I notice the brows were slightly uneven, but brows are sisters, not twins, so I left and wasn’t complaining about it. A few minutes after I left the place, the skin around my eyebrows starts to get swollen and red, and my eyelids start to hurt. She was not the most gentle person working on such a sensitive area. Now I have cuts and bumps on my eyelids for the celebration! I’m disappointed.

Went around lunch time for my threading eyebrow appointment with Heema :)
Changed my rating from a 4 to a 5 b/​c this visit was spot on! She was very patient and made sure I was okay with it every step of the way :) (clearly, I’m happy because I am getting smile friendly). Key = go during non peak hours!

Anytime I relocate, the first few places I go on a hunt for is a solid threading salon. Once I find them, I usually stick to that person & that ONE person alone. I gave (–1) star because the last 2 experiences I have had were not 100%, but I will update after 2 – 3 more tries. For the most part, majority of my experiences have been a 5 stars.
I usually try to give one place at least 6 – 8 times, in case the stylist has a bad or off day.
I was referred over to Heema by a girlfriend, who also takes threading very seriously (who knew it was a thing, right? ;P). Heema is great! Only once, while Heema was away on vacation did I try the other stylist, but the job wasn’t as clean & tidy as when Heema did it. Moving forward, I will only get my eyebrows done by Heema.
When I got my under arms waxed, the wax was so hot it burned and scabbed my skin for 2 weeks. If you do get a wax service from them, please make sure it is not too hot.
Also, I definitely recommend going during a non-​busy time/​day. The salon is simple and there is nothing special about the décor, but that’s not what matters when locating a talented stylist. In the 2 – 3 months I have been coming here, I have only seen 2 employees (Heema and her collegue). Sometimes, there is only one employee that works at the store and that can drastically affect the outcome of their work — ie. last visit there.
Overall, aside from the last 2 visits which dropped it’s rating review from a 5 star to a 4 star rating, I recommend Panache Beauty & Threading Salon. :)
I will continue to update the review based on future experiences.

This is the final straw. I’ve given this place several chances and EVERY single time the same woman screws up my brows. I tell her every time please leave them thick and just shape them… Nope growing out my brows is pointless b/​c she just removes majority of the hair. This time I even brought a picture and used her own freaking brows as an example of what I wanted (thick and shaped) but nope. Screwed up brows once again, right before Christmas. I’m thinking she doesn’t like me, b/​c she cannot be this incompetent. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE.

Very good threading. My girl takes her time and gets every hair out and is very thorough. I have had my eyebrows and lips waxed by many different people and she’s the best. She the one that sits in the very first seat near the register. Thank you

Heema, where are you? I’ve been a loyal customer for years. Heema does a good job with both threading and waxing, but sometimes she has others working with her who do not manage the shop the way she does. Pulled up at 4:50 pm today and specifically planned my afternoon around this. The woman who was there told me she was closing at 5:00 pm and would not take me. They have always closed at 7:00 pm… not wise to cut hours around the holidays, and regardless, it wasn’t 5:00 yet. She refused. I think it’s reasonable to expect consistent customer service… disappointed.

If the girl that does your eyebrows is in a good mood you are golden if not best of luck to you.

I want to leave them a good review but I have a hard time because they don’t wash their hands right before they start on my brows. They don’t even use the hand sanitizer which bugs me. I end up having to remind them. They aren’t the most gentle and usually blame me for being sensitive. However the end result is good and after the pain stops I’m ok. If you don’t mind them not really chatting with you and no bedside manor then you’ll be ok with the service they provide.

I have gone to a few other threading places and know what to expect. Decided to try them out since this place was on my way. It was HORRIBLE! They cut me three times and I was bleeding. I have three huge scabs now and am hoping they don’t turn into scars. There is a reason why it’s only $ 8. Don’t ruin your brows here.

My eyebrows had been messed up from the last person to wax them, so I decided to try threading here. they look so much better and I paid 12 dollars less than my usual! I’m very critical with my eyebrows and I trust her completely. she knows exactly how to shape them and clean them up to make them perfect!
the only thing I disliked is they do not trim your brow afterwards but other than that, highly rec it

my first time here i just needed my chin ($ 5), cheeks ($ 5 each cheek!) and eyebrows ($ 8) so it was a total of $ 23 + tip. great job and a nice aloe gel coverage afterwards.
FYI, if you want a full face wax, they will gladly do that but they won’t wax your eyebrows — they only thread the eyebrows.
also i learned that the price of a full face threading job vs. price of a full face wax job is the same = $ 25.
staff is super nice (I’ve only met Hema FYI). i was in and out in probably 10 – 15 minutes (would have been less had i not been chatting her up!).
this is likely my new go-​to place!

I am a repeat walk-​in customer. They do a great job! I’m so happy I found this place. I like the texture of the thread they use. It feels softer and glides better than other places that I’ve been.

Got my eyebrows threaded here the day before my wedding, so you know it is legit. It was very fast and fairly painless. She asked me if I wanted to keep the same shape and I said yes for the most part, but try to accentuate the arch if possible. She did exactly that! Best eyebrow threading I’ve gotten done in a long long time. Very clean and exactly what I requested.
Wish we had this quality of beauty services in dc!

Heema did a great job on my eyebrows. She asked me whether I want to shape or clean up which is in my opinion good customer service. I normally let the technicians do their work.
She was fast and efficient which I love.
I didn’t get any waxing done, but she has 15 years of experience using both soft and hard wax.
Definitely would come back.

This is my go-​to place for my brows! The ladies are friendly and they know what they are doing!
The only draw back is it’s hard to find parking!

I was very impressed the first time I came here. It was my first eyebrow threading and it looked amazing! Kept its shape for 4 – 5 weeks. I came back the second time a few weeks ago and didn’t receive that great of a job this time around. My eyebrows were uneven and jagged. I was able to fix the shape using eyebrow wax to create a shape. I came again today to fix my eyebrows and they’re not open. Their sign says they’re open Sunday’s at 11am; I arrived at 11:09 and there’s nobody inside. It’s 11:15 and there’s still no sign of anybody. If they’re not opening today for whatever reason they should leave up a sign…
I just want my eyebrows to look good for thanksgiving is that too much to ask!!!

My new favorite place to get my eyebrows threaded!
Everyone here knows what they are doing and the service here is great too! I’ve been going to Ziba for a few years now and sometimes they don’t do such a great job. However, at Panache, they are consistently threading my eyebrows the way I describe them to do so.
If you check in on Unilocal,you get $ 2 off on your brows and upper lip! Seriously, you don’t want to miss out on this place.
Parking is a downside but it’s worth trying to find street parking.
