Rahwaj Salon

I apprehensively bought a pack of do-​it-​yourself eyebrow wax at the hair shop, (never did it before), walked out and saw a sign for eyebrow threading right next door. I hesitated because I’d already found a threading shop I liked, and though I wasn’t going to be in the area I was prepared to clean my mane myself until I was able to get to them.
I shrugged and thought, what could go wrong and confidently walked in.
Mind you, what I walked into was a phone slash perfume slash accessory shop. Okaaaaaay, I walked further in and saw a jewelry pawn kiosk to my left. Straight ahead were two salon chairs, one occupied and a tech obviously threading eyebrows. Good.
To my right was a room with the door ajar. It looked like a wax or tattoo area as those too were advertised on the board outside the shop. I thought «go brave».
I’m happy I did. The eyebrow lady was very quiet. She practiced good hygiene (I investigate things like that as if I’m Sherlock Holmes). She did exactly as I asked. It stung a little but not as much as I’ve had at some places. I’m very pleased with the outcome so I’m sticking to my motto of never judging a book by its cover. Plus it’s a $ 5.00. deal. Sweet!
A lady came in to get her lashes done. That costs $ 15.00 I enquired about it and she says that too is done well but I can only recommend this spot for EYEBROW THREADING and only that. They have another salon that I haven’t been to and maybe that’s where you get the full spa experience. No way would I or can I encourage anyone to wax their lady parts here. Just because the front of the shop has a lot of male workers and they’re up and down the entire length of the floor so it doesn’t lend itself to serenity or much privacy.
They lost one star only because the space could be treated a bit nicer. With only a little more effort they can truly transform that back space into an oasis.
I’ll definitely be back though. And if you visit please be kind and tip generously, she’s really good and quick.
The End.

I usually get my eyebrows done once a month by a barber in new jersey. Since moving to Brooklyn, I have not found anyone who does razor. only wax and threading. Because I don’t always wanna travel all the way to NJ for my eyebrows, I decided to try this place (they specialize in threading) as it is very close and convenient. Umm… yeah. worse decision I’ve ever made.
I don’t have any kids so I’ve never given birth but I’m pretty sure eyebrow threading is right on par with pushing out a child. I could feel each piece of hair being ripped from my face. I wasn’t alone because I heard the lady next to me wincing in pain too. To make matters worse, the lady who was doing my eyebrows was on the phone the whole time. That’s a pet peeve of mine. If you’re providing a service, at that moment you’re working for me and talking on your cell phone is beyond appropriate. Maybe on a regular day, when I didn’t feel like a torture victim in some obscure place where outsiders aren’t welcomed, I wouldn’t have cared as much… but I digress.
As far as how they look… Uhh, do you mean the left one or the right one, because they are no longer the same. She left the natural arch in my left brow and decided to do the other one straight. Thanks… so now not only am I in pain but now I look like a picasso painting, and we all know how he loved to fiddle with symmetry.
I will NEVER come here to get my eyebrows done again. I did wanna check out their $ 15 mani/​pedi special but if its anything like their eyebrow work I’ll be lucky to leave with all ten toes!
