City Brows

Threading is pretty straightforward, and this was no different. Got the job done, and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. I did have to do a very little bit of cleanup when I got home… just a couple of hairs that hadn’t been snagged around my eyebrows. At my old waxing place, they were always good about going through with tweezers and grabbing those kinds of stragglers, but I feel like threading is usually a little less involved that way, and that’s fine. For the price, I’m fine having to do a little cleanup work.
The one thing that kind of annoyed me is that I was wearing lipstick, and they didn’t remind me that I probably should take it off before they did the upper lip. So I walked out of there kind of looking like a clown with lipstick all over my face. Again, easily fixable, but also if I had just been reminded, I would have wiped it off before she even started. But I mean, that’s just as much my fault for not remembering to take it off before I walked in.
Overall, my brows looked nice and clean when I walked out. Nice shaping (although I keep my brows shaped pretty well on my own), and very painless, which is why I prefer threading to waxing in the first place. As other reviewers have mentioned, this is a very no-​frills place… seat definitely had some tape on it hiding a hole or two, and there was nowhere to put a purse, hang a coat, etc. But you can’t argue with the price, and when you’re in there for less than 10 minutes, ambiance is not the biggest deal.

Definitely a no-​frills place, but they get the job done! Perfectly shaped brows quick and cheap!

I found this little salon quite by accident, after having a bad experience at a place that focuses on waxing. I decided to try threading for my face because the technicians at City Brows said it’s better than waxing and I had read the same. I still have my arms waxed, and that has been a good experience so far at City Brows.
I usually work with Nitika, who is top-​notch at what she does. The other technicians are also good. They are all very sweet and pleasant, as well. I have become a regular customer and would like to try some of their other services. They are very professional and no nonsense and very affordable ($ 8 for eyebrows, $ 6 for chin (both waxing and threading) and $ 25 for arms (waxing). I am very glad that I found this place.

Went for eyebrow threading and tinting also because of a previous good review but forget it. First, the young woman did my eyebrows in about 1 minute. Being new to threading I didn’t know what to expect but it seemed like an ok job. Just ok.
Then I told her I want a light brown eyebrow tint. My hair is red but I don’t like red eyebrows so I just wanted a nice light warm brown. As she’s applying the tint I mentioned again that I wanted light brown. «No you need dark brown». Again, hoping for the best I let her continue. A huge mistake! They were a very dark brown and looked totally wrong. When I complained she said they would fade in a couple of weeks!
I simmered for a day then returned the next day with photos of the color I had envisioned. When I again requested they fix them they said there was nothing they could do and refused to offer any solution.
Very rude! Incompetent! A complete ripoff! Avoid this place or you will regret it.

I’ve never had an experience at a threading salon quite like this one…
Maybe it was because I decided to go 10 minutes before close, maybe my threader was having an off day, I’m not sure…
But when she threaded my hair, she also took bits of my skin off with it. Like, seriously. I would say I was cut in about 4 – 5 different spots.
I just started frequenting the area (my boyfriend just moved in a few blocks away), so I wanted to find a new spot to get threaded. I found City Brows, which was the most affordable and nearby salon. I got there 10 minutes before close, and was quickly seated. The threader did my eyebrows so quickly — quicker than I had ever experienced. When I got home and looked carefully in the mirror, she shaped my brows (which was nicely done) but did not get rid of all of the hair on my brow bone! I had to go in and tweeze hairs on my own. No wonder it took her like no time! I then got my upper lip threaded, and that is where I had gotten cut. In addition, not all of the hair was removed yet again. Won’t be going back here unfortunately…

After coming to this place for over a year, I have finally found a girl that does my eyebrows perfectly. Amy is great and always gives my eyebrows the correct shape. She’s there every day except for Thursday’s.

Awful. I went once and asked for a brow tint, and as i already have dark brows, I just wanted them to stand out more, like before when I have gone to salons. Almost no result, and the threading was bad too. Then when I only tipped her 15% which I don’t think she deserved she looked at me with real disappointment. I have no idea why I went there a second time, I guess to give it a second chance with someone else. The service was just as bad. Don’t waste your time here.

I go to City Brows only for eyebrow threading. They always accommodate walk-​ins, they’re very fast, affordable ($ 8) and — most importantly — they do a nice job. I also appreciate their rewards program; after 9 sessions, your 10^th will be free. Just don’t expect pampering or polite chit chat from the workers. Personally I like their no nonsense approach, but some people might call it unfriendly. I always ask for a woman named Sana who does a consistently great job. I will continue to be a regular here.

This is the place that made me write my first Unilocal review just so I could warn everyone else.
I paid a visit to City Brows after noticing the 4-​stars it had on Unilocal.What I should have done was investigate some of the reviews. The 1 and 2-​star reviews are a lot more accurate.
This place butchered by eyebrows. I even pointed it out, and asked them to touch up the parts that weren’t quite done right. The lady acted like it was a perfect job, and there was nothing else to be done. Now, I have to go somewhere else to get this fixed.

Worst experience I have ever had. Would not recommend anyone to go there unless you want your eyebrows deformed

I stumbled upon this place on a weekend and was in desperate need to have my eyebrows fixed. Super clean, fast, very cheap (threading eyebrows and mustache=$ 13 without tip), and 10 minutes away by the subway from where I live. I highly recommend!

Niti did not prepare my skin, I had make up on. Technique used seemd poor –she didnt pull my skin taught while waxing. She was not detailed or careful, and was distracted while talking to her colleague the whole time. No mirror was offered after she claimed the job was ‘all done’. A drop of aloe vera on a tissue was offered as clean up. 4 zits cropped up within one hour on the area waxed.
If you do go to city eyebrows I would advise to be very clear and firm to avoid being taken granted for.
I did have a better experience with Naz in the past, I dont know If she still works there.

They offer a wide variety of services including threading, waxing, facials, and eyebrow tenting. The staff is friendly and have a m good work ethic. Their prices are very reasonable, 8 for eyebrows and 5 for lip threading. Their threading work is good and they are quick but they could be a bit more detailed. I found a couple of stray hairs after I went home.

Quick easy to the point!

She did her job but proceeded to over tip herself by more than 40 percent… I couldn’t really understand her english. I get that you need the money but don’t cheat your customers.
*credit card used in this situation*
When you want to tip just bring in your own cash.

Very poor customer service. I was expecting so much more given the highly rated review. The lady who threaded my eyebrows did a very poor job. It was as if though she didn’t even do anything. She spend about 1minute with me total. She didn’t even offer me the mirror. When I looked at it myself when I got home, I couldn’t even see a difference. The lady didn’t even thank me when I tipped her for her poor service. So disappointing since that this seemed like one of the better salons in the area.

Quickest threading job ever. I was worried she did a half ass job but everything was good. I’ll come back and hope it’s consistent!

UPDATE: DO NOT GO TO THIS THREADING SALON!!! They severely botched my brows and did NOTHING to fix it. One of them is strongly arched and the other is nearly straight!!! They still made me pay for it and claimed my eyebrows were uneven before I came in. NOT TRUE!!! They shouldn’t be allowed to go near a person’s face ever again.

Highly recommend! They’re fast, fairly reasonable price, and you get a stamp card so after 10 eyebrow threads, you can get a free one!

Cheap, fast, no frills. I think the only words she spoke to me were, (1) «hold», (2) «push your tongue more» and (3) «thirteen dollars.»
Overall, great place to get your eyebrows threaded, especially if you want upbeat Bollywood music videos to help assuage the pain of a woman mercilessly threading your eyebrows.
