Professional Brows

The threading here is great. Each time I have visited, I have had Pavi do my brows. She keeps them thick (!Unlike my bad experience at Benefit Cosmetics!) but tidies them up and optimizes the shape. By far the best eyebrow appointment I’ve had — and the least painful. I always walk in and have never had to wait more than a few minutes. The price can’t be beaten too, so inexpensive! Pavi is lovely and this is my go to eyebrow spot, highly recommend it!

I love this place I came in about 7 months ago looking for someone to fix my eyebrows. Nel Definitely made my eyebrows look SOOOOOO much better. The shape, The thickness everything. I highly recommend this place to all my friends and family. If you want great customer service this is the place to go!

Pavi was great! I found this place on Unilocal bc it’s close to my hotel and I needed day of services before Halloween weekend. Pavi’s place is no frills, but very comfortable and she is so kind! She did a wonderful professional job and I would go back. Highly recommend.

Although this salon is called Professional Threading, I came primarily for a full body wax. I had called various salons in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan looking for a full body wax that includes full arms, full legs, underarms, full back, full stomach, and Brazilian at a price point that I’m used to (in CA I pay $ 125) AND that would be done in 1 hour. This salon quoted me about $ 100 and said they could do it in 1 hour so I was convinced! [Side note: other places I called were cheaper but could not give me a time estimate or quoted me at 2 hours which was way too long] I made a reservation, and made sure to call when I was running 10 minutes late. I was told that Saturday afternoons are slow so it was fine.
I arrived and was greeted right away by a woman (I never caught her name unfortunately!) and the room was ready and the wax was hot. I was told to undress immediately and because she knew I had asked for timing, once I was ready, she announced she was starting at 3:50 pm.
I could tell she was quick and skilled just by the way she applied wax in large areas (not just a strip at a time), held my skin tight, and took strips off without hesitation. My full body wax ended exactly at 4:50 pm — she checked! And that was including both me and her checking for any missed patches, and cleaning those up. I even had time to get my eyebrows, forehead, and upper lip threaded before I had to catch my bus!
In total for full body wax and eyebrow, forehead, & upper lip threading plus tip & tax, I paid only $ 136. That is why this salon deserves 5 stars and a full-​on Unilocal review. It is economical and timely.
I have to say I didn’t love my brows but I didn’t hate them either. I think I would stick to Awesome Threading Salon in Brooklyn. But I would get any other hair removal service here at this salon.
Some more info on my pain tolerance & her waxing technique:
I have been doing self-​waxing and getting salon and in-​home waxes since I was in the 7^th grade. I have seen ALL kinds of waxes, techniques, personalities, etc. For those that are not used to waxing, you need to know that it’s never «painless»! But your esthetician can and should hold your skin tight when they remove strips (done here) and gently tap your skin after the strip is removed to ease the pain (not dome here).
Again because I have a long history of hair removal, I have a pretty high pain tolerance. If you can suck up some pain for an hour, you’ll be good to go here — because she moves so quickly and without tapping, for those with a lower pain tolerance, this might not be the ideal situation for you, especially when it comes to your Brazilian. But again for me, the time factor was more important. Also, she gets ALL the hair off.
I had to make a couple phone calls during this hour and she was totally accommodating (I was able to complete them) while also continuing to wax so we wouldn’t waste any time. She just spoke softly and used hand gestures if she needed me to move while I was on the phone.
There were a couple people that entered the salon while I was getting waxed. Each time, she excused herself and told the person at the door she was busy and what time to come back. I felt very prioritized — I’m sure it helped that I called for the appointment ahead of time which I recommend you do, even for a threading — sometimes she is at the salon by herself so she can only do one thing at a time.
The waxing room had a locking door and a thick curtain hanging in the frame as well so even though the room was literally right next to the entrance to the salon, it felt protected and private. It’s a small room and a small salon but it felt clean, organized, and well lit.
All in all, great experience and great value — unbeatable I think for Manhattan. Again, I have to emphasize that I’m awarding 5 stars for service, timelines, value, and quality of waxing. I did get my eyebrows done here but not sure if I’d return for that. I absolutely will be coming back once a month for my waxing though! Super happy with the services here!

I asked the woman to remove the strays. «Do not change the shape, do not remove too much. Just clean them up because I am growing them out,» I told her.
As she was working, I thought,“Wow, I must have a lot of little hairs I cannot see.” I got nervous and I know I should have just stopped her then. (Part of this is my fault, I acknowledge.)
I ended up with eyebrows that were far too thin. She apologized and said, «But you had no shape before…» and I interjected, «but I asked you NOT to shape them.»
She gave me castor oil to help them grow back.
I hate the new brows. They don’t suit my face or style. (Someone else might like them, but the fact she ignored what I said really upset me.)

Nell and the entire staff are amazing. Very professional and eager to please. You will not be disappointed. The Salon is spotless and the work is perfection. I wouldn’t even attempt to elsewhere! Highest recommendation.

The only place in NYC I get my brows done. Nelly is just phenomenal — attentive, detailed, and just a wonderful soul! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Shaba is the BEST for waxing and eyebrow threading!!! I initially found Professional Brows by purchasing a Groupon for Brazilian wax 3 years ago, and I have been coming here religiously ever since. Reasonable prices for the service received — I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Highly recommend this place.

Have been coming to PB for about 3 years now. This is the only place I trust for consistently great eyebrows, Brazilians and lashes. Staff are always professional, patient, and extremely kind. The prices are even reasonable. I no longer work in the area but still come here regularly. Really excellent!

Nel is AMAZING. There is no place better than Professional Brows! I am a 23 years old and have struggled with adult acne for many years. I have gone to numerous dermatologist, estheticians, acne specialists, basically if you can name a treatment for acne I have probably tried it! Nothing worked and I continued to have painful, embarrassing, and large acne cysts and pimples. I met Nel through my sister and had her consult my skin. From the very beginning, Nel was caring and attentive with my skin. She is an expert! I saw improvements within one month — and now 5 months later my skin has never looked better!!! Nel customizes each and every treatment and tells me the exact products to use. She never pushes me to buy products, however suggests reasonable purchases once and a while to enhance my skin’s improvement. I haven’t had a cystic (the painful ones) pimple in months and for the first time in years I will leave the house without face make-​up on!
I have recommended Nel to many people, and they too have have had enjoyable experiences and seen major improvements in their skin. I’ve seen Nel completely fix my two sisters’ skin as well. She’s amazing!
All in all, Nel is the best out there for treating acne prone skin but she is also a loving, kind, and thoughtful person. I love going to get my treatments at Nel because she makes me feel at home! I look forward to my appointments!
Below I put pictures of my skin before Nel and three months after I started treatments with her. I don’t usually show pictures of my acne without make-​up, but in case you need to see it to believe it, I wanted to everyone see how Nel can really help your skin!

Everytime I come to professional brows I see Nell. She is amazing at threading and finds the perfect shape for your brows. She is the only professional I’ve seen who actually helped me grow back parts of my brow to help with the shape. Nell is just the sweetest and definitely makes you feel like family while you are with her. I’ve also been to her for facials and used products from the shop. They definitely help your skin maintain a glow and look so healthy. Although the sacylic acid in these products doesn’t really work well with helping the acne on my skin I would recommend since my skin overall looked healthy. They also do various types of bikini waxes with regular, honey or hard wax. I’m hoping to try the eyelash install next. Basically professional brows does it all and I love this place!

I have been coming here for almost 3 years for my threading and have always been so happy with the ladies and the quality of work. They listen and do a great job with shaping and cleaning of the brows. Highly recommend!

DO NOT GO THERE, the woman working there torn of my skin because she did not know which wax she has to use for facial, her name is Shabnam, i had my face waxed another time by a woman called Pam which was good but this new one is a unskilled just talking a lot and unworthy of even entering the store. i definitely will put my complain with consumer protection in NY as well, and will see her out of that place, IT IS A WARNING FOR THE OTHER COSTUMER .DO NOT GO THERE i uploaded a photo of my face it is horrible how she torn off my skin

I’ve been coming here happily for the past few months without incident. $ 6 for brows is a bargain. However the last time, a few weeks ago, the lady totally f*cked up. She took off half of my inner brow. Half! One of my eyebrows now makes me look like a scowling cartoon character. I will happily pay more at a place that doesn’t butcher my eyebrows.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
Let me begin by saying that I am a huge fan of this place and their employees. Specifically Pam and the owner Nell. I have been a regular with Pam for about a year now and she is really the best when it comes to brows. I am very picky with my eyebrows and I am always afraid they will get too thin with threading which has happened to me in the past but after meeting Pam, that is not the case. Pam keeps my eyebrows looking beautiful and, she always listens when I tell her specifics. I also do upper lip and with both threadings, I have never had a bad reaction. Now let’s talk about the price… 10 DOLLARS FOR LIP AND EYEBROWS??? You have to be kidding me !!! It’s real folks, amazing service at an amazing price. Pam is lovely!!!
I have been doing my eyelash extension for about three years now, and I have a wonderful eye for spotting bad lash jobs. I just so happened to be at this location yesterday for brows and I complimented a woman who was sitting down with wonderful eyelashes… come to find out. PAM DID THEM! So natural and beautiful, what doesn’t this woman do!?! I will be trying out all their services, especially Facials with Nell, who is such a warm welcoming and very knowledgeable woman!!!
HUGE FAN OF THIS PLACE!!! TRY THEM!!!

I came to Professional Brows just a few months ago and was suffering from acne. A friend recommended I come to Nel, who owns the shop, and have her take a look at my skin. Previously I had been to dermatologists, tried antibiotics and creams but nothing seemed to work.
Nel REALLY knows what she is doing– she carefully examined my skin each time I saw her and came up with a customized regimen for each facial. Depending on your particular scenario, it will likely take a few sessions to completely clear your skin but I promise its worth it. I bought the products that were recommended for the upkeep of the clarity of my skin and love them all!
Professional Brows is unassuming in its size but provides a wonderful experience for any of your beauty needs. Definitely comes highly recommended from me!

I just got my eyebrows threaded by Pam. They look great! It only cost me $ 5 plus Tip. Less expensive and feels better than the fattening piece of cake I had afterwards (because I was in a good mood from the threading.

I came in for eyebrow and upper lip threading and she did an amazing job! Love my eyebrows! I also came in to tint my lashes since there a tad lighter and wanted them darker but I don’t think I’ll be doing that again. My eyelids were stinging so bad and I couldn’t open my eyes, looked like I was crying alot. My lashes are darker but not what I expected. Wasn’t worth it but I will say that it made my lashes much thinker and my normal lashes are thin. So maybe in that way it helped.

I bought the 3 Brazilian waxes for $ 35 to try out & had a great experience! Their waxes are quick & thorough. The ladies are friendly and seem to know a lot about what they are doing :) After I got my last wax, they gave me a card that discounted my next waxes to $ 25 from $ 35 & the 7^th one would be free!

$ 5 eyebrow threading in the city is unheard of!
I was intrigued when I first walked by Professional Brows & saw their grand opening threading deals. I made a mental note to myself to try them out. Fast forward a few months later and they were on Groupon with $ 20/​Brazilian waxes or $ 40 worth of threading/​waxing for $ 20. Needless to say, I picked up both!
Their last appt on weekdays is 7pm, and they promptly close at 7:30. It’s important to note that they are actually located on 30^th St between Park & Madison, not 121 Madison. The lady in charge confirmed that many people get lost finding the place-​myself included!
When you walk in, you’ll notice that the place is small yet clean. There are 3 or 4 chairs to the left for the threading services and a small room to the right for all the body waxing. The lady in charge was extremely sweet but also very quick. My waxes were so fast, I barely even realized she was done. They weren’t the best waxes I’ve ever had (seriously in and out in 10 mins, and I got 2 different waxes done), but you get what you pay for. She also dripped a bit of wax in my hair which was unfortunate, but partially my fault for not putting my hair out of the way. The eyebrow threading felt a little more meticulous; definitely worthy of $ 5.
The lady working was the only employee at that time, so make sure to make an appt or be prepared to wait a little. As a result of being the sole employee, she also had to pick up several phone calls throughout my appointment. Luckily the weather was bomb outside, so I was in a good mood & it didn’t bother me.
At the end of my 15 min, 2 waxes + 1 threading journey, she handed me a card good for $ 25 Brazilians (regularly $ 35). Wooooooot!
