Gulzar Beauty Salon

$ 5 to get your eyebrows threaded? yes please and they’re quick! I was able to get my eyebrows done and then get on my bus across the street. The lady listened to my request and successfully shaped my eyebrows perfectly.

I’ve been here several times for to style my hair for a wedding and watch a family member do her make up. I’ve also been here to do my eyebrows before.
Why this place gets such good reviews? No clue. When I watched my cousin get her make up done, she turned out looking like a ghost, I was hoping for a natural, light look but they bathed her in powder to make her face look cakey.
They styled my hair the way I DIDN’T want it.
Also, when they did my eyebrows, they came out totally uneven, my eyebrows made me look like I was angry because they ended up having no arch, just a thin line.
Never going here again.

In the midst of a busy neighborhood in Jackson Heights under the seven train you will find this No thrills salon staffed with beauticians that work their magic. It’s conveniently located off the 74^th St station and the threading is usually on point. The wait is never too long, though it can get busy on the weekends, and the women are pros. Definitely a great spot to clean your brows and then some. You can’t go wrong with a $ 5 brow fix!

No, just no.
Such horrible rude service. Also the girl that did my eyebrows made them so thin I looked like some SoCal chola.

Been coming here for years. Started with eyebrow and lip threading. They’re cheap, fast, very good, and you never need an appointment. I’ve recently started getting my legs and bikini wax here as well. Totally no frills, but they get the job done very well and have always done what I asked (unlike many other salons I’ve been to). Highly recommend!

Love this place ! The location is very convenient and they keep later hours than most places in the area! Most of the time I just get eyebrow threading, they’re great at following my directions (not thin, just clean up and maintain a slightly higher arch) I did get a henna tattoo about four months ago and it was beautiful artwork for just $ 7 and lasted about 4 days! The women are very professional and quick also! Very rarely do I have to wait more than 2 minutes!!!

The worst hair dresser ever. Extremely bad service. Just wanted a light styling and she suggest giving me layers. I asked what kind of layers she’d do? Very condescendingly she said a layer is a layer. When asked for any example, she points at a picture on the wall. I liked what she showed and told her not to make it short. She goes, ‘arey yaar (oh man), I won’t.’ Doesn’t know how to talk to a customer. I’m not your freaking cousin or friend to be treated like that. And she just starts chopping my hair without even thinking. I told her again not to make it short, she goes ‘arey baba (oh dude), it’s not short.’ At end tries to razor cut the ends, and I hate razor cuts and immediately told her to stop it. Had to emphasize that it’s my hair not hers and I’ll do what I want since she kept insisting it’ll look nice. She says I know it’s your hair, if it was mine i would have razored it long time ago. Unbelievable! My hair was 6 inches long from my shoulders and now the shortest layer is below my ears and the longest layer sits right on my shoulders. This woman needs to work on her listening skills and should be trained how to talk to her customers. Very egoistic and commanding.
I always go to do my eyebrows and the girls are great and nice. But this experience will make me think twice next time because I don’t want to see the hairdressers face ever. She’s very unwelcoming and has a very unprofessional demeanor. I tried to be as nice as possible but she wouldn’t even try to be helpful or pleasing.
I could only tip her $ 0.

Absolutely horrible salon. When you request someone they ignore you and give you someone else, even if you’re willing to wait. I asked the girl who was doing my face to thread and NOT wax, she ended up looking at me like I had two heads. I told her forget it and just do my eyebrows and upper lip. If I could give this place negative stars I would.

I’ve been coming here for a few years now & I can’t complain. $ 5 wax and they’re good at it. You also can get facials which I have yet to try. They also do henna as well. The wait is never too long unless you want someone specific & their with a customer.

I’m super particular about my eyebrows and this spot is legit. I’m the type that will watch all the technicians and request a particular one. I found Nikki and she is so talented! My eyebrows come out perfect every time! Unfortunately, her schedule is not that consistent so I get really frustrated when I go according to what I was told her schedule was, only to find out she didn’t come in. Moving forward, if you have a favorite technician, calling before you come could be super helpful. I’ve also tried a facial here and it was super basic, nothing professional in my personal opinion. I still left with blackheads and the state of my skin was still the same. I just think it was a relaxing experience, however I wouldn’t recommend for a thorough skin cleansing.

$ 5 for eyebrow threading. Where can you find such deal and professionals? It’s great for its value.

I have been looking for someone to help reshape my eyebrows. No luck, I search high and low! Finally!!! I find this little hole in the wall in Jackson heights area. The lady that threaded my eyebrows asked exactly what I wanted done. I explained to her how I wanted them thicker and to see what she can do.
After she was done, she showed me what she did and where to continue to let them grow in. A lot of other woman were getting facials. It’s looked really relaxing. Going back in 3 weeks, yayyyy!!!

I’m absolutely stunned how this place has any good reviews or that anyone would actually spend time in this place. It’s dirty and incredibly questionable. I only walked in because I saw the 50% off facial. Biggest mistake I have made in a while. They have 0 idea how to give facials.
I received the worst facial I have ever gotten in my life. It was incredibly un-​relaxing and done using cheap foul smelling products. To start off this s**t facial, the lady waxed my nose to remove blackheads. She double dipped (ew) and denied it when I called her out on it. When the actual facial part began and her fingers touched my face I died a little bit on the inside. She had the roughest and most calloused fingers I have ever felt in my life. Imagine someone dragging sand paper over your face. that’s exactly what it felt like. Apart from using foul smelling products when I looked up to the mirror on the wall I could see other people in the salon staring right at me. Awkward not relaxing at all. I couldn’t wait to leave. The ‘facial’ I received was originally $ 40, I can’t imagine why anyone would even pay anything for it.
Bye Gulzan Beauty Salon!

Super cheap and usually all the ladies do a good job with the eyebrow threading. I usually go to King. I always get complimented on my eyebrows. :)

I come to this shop all the way from Brooklyn to get a facial. I use to get the 20
Deal which is good. But the last visit I got the diamond. I will be hitting them up next weekend

Really great, absolutely NO FRILLS WHATSOEVER place for threading, waxing, just about any kind of hair removal that isn’t via laser.
They also provide pretty extensive skin related services and I think henna… but I’m not totally sure.
I’ve only come here for eyebrow threading because let’s be honest — $ 5 brows done by gals that actually know what they’re doing is an absolute steal. The staff here is friendly and will do as asked while keeping in mind what is best for your particular face shape.
Their hair removal services most definitely warrant at least a 4 star rating, but I knocked it back to three because the signs posted outside completely lie about hair prices.
This place is a wide room with hair removal and skin services to the right and a modest, no frills hair salon to the left. When I inquired about their «$ 20 wash & blow» special that was advertised outside (I asked with my long, thick hair up in a bun mind you) I was told, and I QUOTE, «it’s $ 20 for boy hair».
WTF is «boy hair»?! If I had a pixie cut I’d be somewhat offended by that term. It’s also a HUGE pet peeve of mine when businesses advertise one thing, sans any sort of fine print, and then change it up depending on the customer.
Sure — my hair is thick, long and naturally a blend of soft curly wavey curls and it’s understandable that you want to charge me more than $ 20 to wash and blow it, but then write on the sign «for short hair only».
Customers should NOT have to assume that prices are only for certain people and apparently for «boy hair» in this case… let’s not even get into culture or languages because her English was fantastic.
Also this is random and I’m not taking it into consideration as far as my rating goes, but this place is imis-​categorized on Unilocal,this ISN’T Flushing Meadows, it’s Jackson Heights and the app says I’m too far away to check in even though I was sitting inside. Oof.

I’ve lived in JH for 3 years and have gone to this place pretty consistently. Whenever I have an off experience, I try someplace new but end up coming back because it is right off the train station. I have liked the jobs most of the time, but they are not consistent and the people that do it well, whose names you write down, aren’t there all the time. Whenever I go there, they try to add on services, like upper lip threading. I’m like «No thanks but there goes your tip». I do not have a mustache, I have a few hairs but nothing crazy and my skin is dark, yes the light in there is bright and they are especially close, but you offering me a lip thread, is not going to make my happy.
But still I returned. This week, I went in. The woman said, hi, you waited awhile, huh. I chuckle… Yep and there goes 1 dollar from your tip. I sit down and she did the worst job in the history of threading. My brows were uneven, the arches were completely different and one side she pulled more out and there were empty spaces. On the plus side, she didn’t offer to do my lip, but that is because I started doing that myself (head down in shame). But I was soooooo upset. I told her and of course she said, what are you talking about, I said here and here, and she said oh that is just your brow. Um ok. I never looked like this before. I said whatever, here is 5. I was gonna tip her but decided against it. It looked really bad and why reward a bad job?
I am going to go back to Shoba in Manhattan. They are a bit pricey, but it’s painless, they actually spend time on your brows to shape it to your face as opposed to just pulling hairs, and they don’t offer you services that you didn’t ask for to up sales or give people insecurities… On to the next!

I got my eyebrows done yesterday. Again, the ladies here know what they are doing ;D. Completely professional and kind. I usually tip them + the $ 5 for the works.
Love my eyebrows, they really know how to give a natural look. They use thread (and wax upon request). Everything is hygienic.
Give it a try when ever your in the mood, its definitely worth the time.

$ 5 for eyebrows. Yes, please!
I tell them to give me a cleaning and it’s as simple as that. They definitely don’t go out of their way to go the extra mile but for $ 5 what do you really expect? There’s so much competition in this neighborhood that it’s hard to decide which place is the best. This place can get busy and sometimes there’s a wait but it usually goes quickly.
Would like to try the $ 20 steam facial. Reviews anyone?

It’s gritty, it’s grimy, but Gulzar and his ladies know what they’re doing. Fancy folks can check their superficiality at the door, this is all about facials and hair removal for a cheap price. It gets busy here during peak hours (afternoons) any day of the week. Weekends can be tough because there is usually a wait and this is probably one of the few places I’ve seen more men than women on more than one occasion (#1).
It’s no fancy salon by any stretch. The place looks and feels a bit dingy and dodgy but this is where locals go in this hood. There are a handful of chairs /​stations all situated close to each other, including one room in the back for the more discrete hair removal sessions.
$ 5 for all threading means equal status for all genders. Pile on another $ 10 and facials via an overhead steamers are possible. What keeps Gulzar busy is the excellent service and great prices, the only thing they need is some crowd control. There aren’t enough chairs for people to sit and the traffic at the door is maddening at times. Once my eyelid had a small cut from one of the ladies rushing the session to accommodate for the growing crowd, not cool.
