Saloni Threading Salon

Smita! I have dearly missed you since youve been gone… Have come to the salon a couple of times several months ago, to find it closed, at which point I stopped trying.
When it comes to threading eyebrows, no one beats smita… I hope she continues working… If you can get smita to do your brows — go there whatever she charges… shes the best!!!

This is by far my favorite place to get my eyebrows threaded in the city. I’m extremely nit picky with my brows and hate when I get the generic skinny brow I get from some other brow places. Smita is fantastic. I told her I liked a fuller brow and she threaded the right fuller shape for my face (and even left gaps where it needed to grow in until my next visit). He does a meticulous and fantastic job. Yea it may be pricier than other threading shops, but well worth it.

Not a bad spot to get your eyebrows done in the area. I happened to just bump into this place while I was out shopping with a friend in Union Square and wanted a minute to just sit down and rest for a bit. Two birds with one stone, rest and primping done!

What happened to Saloni?! I called and tried their website — neither work. I guess they closed? What a bummer!!! Anyone hear anything?

For threading, there is no one better than Smita! I have been using Smita over the years and there are very few others who I would trust to shape my brows.
The facility itself is modest, clean and warm with cozy furnishings and bright light. I have not tried their other services, so I cannot comment on that. If you are looking for someone to shape and define your brows, try Smita.

I have been going to Smita to get my eyebrows threaded for YEARS and she by far does the best job. She knows exactly how to shape my eyebrows and is very gentle.
I have tried out other cheaper priced threading salons and without fail, they all either messed up the shape of my eyebrows or were so rough my skin would become irritated afterwards. I will gladly pay a little bit more money to keep my eyebrows looking perfect.

Great place near Union Square to get your eyebrows threaded!
The girl who threaded my eyebrows was super nice and very professional. I’ve had bad experiences with waxing at different salons in the past, and though I would try threading. I plan on going back next time I need to get them touched up.
The only negative thing was finding the place. There’s no signs on the outside to show the salon is there… make sure you know the address! You have to go into this large building, sign in, and go up to the sixth floor. Other than that it was a great experience.

2 stars are alright for this place.
I got a quarter off deal for $ 15 worth for $ 30.
I was running late so they waited for me.
The parlor looks secluded and not much foot traffic there. They basically live off the online deals it seems.
The girl T was nice and friendly and did my half legs professionally.
I would not go back without a deal though and pick up Om threading salon anytime over this.

I had an unbeatable PopSugar deal for threading + brazilian and prepared myself for a fairly «meh» experience. My aesthetician (forgive me… can’t recall her name but she is the only waxer there I believe) was great and very efficient. I saw one reviewer’s comment about potential double-​dipping and was ready to fuss if necessary. To my delight I was shown that each customer gets his/​her own small wax container… double-​dip issue solved!
She tsk-tsk’ed me a bit for not being a regular (when you’re in school, you choose what’s most important… right?) but it was one of the best waxes I’ve had in quite some time. Then it was time to tame my brows. They weren’t too bad… or so I thought, and yet she still threaded for what seemed like a long time. The result? Nicely shaped brows. No change in attitude even after I became a little nitpicky about a few strays I saw in my brows… she just nicely explained what she did and why she did it. All made sense to me and I was a happy camper.
There was clear attention paid to quality and to attracting regular customers. There was the requisite «since you’re a new customer, you should buy this HUGE package available only for the next 5 minutes!» but you can’t blame them for trying to recoup some costs, right? Once I move to the city for good, I’ll be a Saloni regular!

I had a ‘Buy with me’ deal and the girl who was there was pretty nice. It’s right in the mecca of Union Square – in front of Jamba Juice. Once you go in, it has the Indian-​inspired décor and dimmed lighting. The lady who threaded my eyebrows did a pretty good job. Usually when I go to those $ 5 places, they tug my skin and it irritates me. I didn’t feel so much pain and my shape is lasting me a while. I’m not sure if I would want to pay $ 18/​eyebrow thread. I think they really should consider lowering their prices. I understand they are paying a lot of rental space, but hey who would actually pay $ 18!??
It’s definitely worth checking out if you buy a deal from those deal sites. If you want quick service, Saloni is not for you. They really take their time…

I came here to use a bloomspot deal for a Brazilian wax. Making an appointment was fairly easy, but they took credit card information in case I cancelled less than 24 hrs in advance — I was a bit uncomfortable with that.
The waxing itself was okay — the actual experience was quick and efficient, but don’t expect extras or frills (I like how some spas put cool compresses on the skin right after the waxing).
I’m not sure I’d come back here — the outcome was decent, but the whole experience felt impersonal and rushed.

This was my second Brazilian wax ever, so I’m still a novice, but I really appreciated the FAST and efficient waxing I received at Saloni. The eye brow threading I had done was completely satisfactory as well, I left with a good shape. Both aestheticians were knowledgeable and offered good advice and information. I will go back, the prices are very reasonable. Good location.

Two starts because my first experience here was decent. I’d give it 3 ½ or 4 actually (it’s not exactly a luxury spa but my experience was good)
ZERO starts for my next experience. Customer service is terrible. I have a living social voucher that for whatever reason the woman insists I cannot use. she suggested I give it to someone else. Does she not understand I paid money for this. She was absolutely of no help at all. I would have continued making appointments here had she not been so totally unhelpful and useless. She wouldn’t even give me a refund for my voucher.
I think you can probably find another place with much better customer service. Never again.

Overpriced.
I’m not wholly convinced the lass wasn’t double-​dipping.
Staff was talking about a customer who was in the room getting a waxing — while she was there.
Skip it.

The staff at Saloni are experts at what they do. On my visit they were able to define my thin brows with the most utmost precision. If you have visited multiple eyebrow threading places, they quickly rid you out of the chair within minutes, but Saloni takes their time to get it right. But for $ 20, of course they should!
Unfortunately, $ 80/​month plus tips for eyebrow maintenance is not something I can commit to. Looks a few blocks down on 14^th St. does a great job similarly to Saloni but at a fraction of the price.

I got a deal for a 45 minute facial and eyebrow threading for a good price. My friend also got a deal on lifebooker for a bikini wax and eyebrow threading.
We booked our appts for hte same day. She got there before me and I could hear her Unilocaling whle they were doing her wax. this was not the first time she got a wax but when she left she was bleeding and sore. She said it was the worst brazilian experience she has ever had… and unfortunately this was for her wedding… not only did the woman not get all the hair but she has painful ingrowns. Not an ideal bridal experience.
For my facial, I was most looking forward to rest and relaxation as i dont take the time to relax often. The girl would not shut up. She was asking me where i was from what kind of music i liked… it was irritating and i couldnt even answer her half the time because she had shit all over my face. The only peace and quiet i got was when she put the mask on me and left me to dry for 10 mins.
Immediately after my facial I had my eye brow threading. She did a great job explaining what she was going to do to my eyebrows and while it hurt like hell, she was quick. An hour after I left, i started itching pretty badly on my eyebrows. And Now 4 days later I have (embarassing) itchy scabs on the tops and bottoms of my eyebrows. im not sure if this is a side effect of the facial or the threading or a combination of both… but i have had both treatments done before (elsewhere) and never had a reaction.
Sorry, but I’m not going back– not even for the threading.

I went to this place a little over a year ago when I was looking to try something new. Big mistake.
I edited part of this review because maybe the whole world shouldn’t know what I’m waxing. But trust me, don’t come here for waxing, unless you like pain, poor waxing skills, bleeding and ingrown hairs.
First and last time. I will never go back and I don’t recommend this place to anyone.

Initially, my friend brought me to Saloni Salon to get some henna art; my trip to India for a wedding had been recently canceled and I was upset so our little trip was meant to be a pick me up. Of course, we arrive and are informed that they don’t mix the paste every day and its best to make an appointment to do so. So we couldn’t get henna on our hands that day, BUT I decided to take the opportunity to FINALLY get my eyebrows threaded after neglecting them for way WAY too long.
I’m afraid I can’t remember who did my eyebrows, but she did a top notch job. All I told her was that I just wanted them cleaned up and shaped, but not made too thin, she nodded and without saying anything started attacked the bushes that my eyebrows had become. A few minutes later I was waltzing out of there with eyebrows that I didn’t have to hide behind big, dark sunglasses. I still have my place in Philly that’s just as fantastic (and cheaper), but at least I have a guaranteed place in NYC whenever I’m visiting my family.

This was my first experience with threading. If you are new to this as I was, basically the technician brings intertwined threads close to your eyebrows and twists them, capturing hairs as they go. Sounds awful, but is actually great. It feels weird, but is not painful and the results are smooth and precise. Then the technician gives you a nice mini massage with lotion on your brows.
This location is hard to find. Enter the numbered office building from the street, then go to the 6^th floor. Walk around until you find the small spa area.

Best eyebrow threading!
How many times have you heard «all eyebrow threading places are the same»??? I hear it a lot, but I have thick eyebrows and many places make mine too thin. Smita is amazing and she makes my eyebrows exactly as they should be.
Won’t go anywhere else.
