Women Zone Threading Salon

This business is lacking professionalism!

I followed Benish from her old place of employment when she opened her salon and have been going there faithfully for 2+ years before stopping. I cannot complain about eyebrows — she’s always done a thorough job. I do have to add that when she does full face threading, there are fairly obvious spots that she misses. A few family members still go to her salon (the reason why I’ve stopped is below) and there have been times when I’ve seen rather incomplete threading. Incidentally, they always see Benish. I can understand missing a spot once or twice, however, these are pretty obvious ones and this «missing» is becoming consistent.
Where waxing is concerned, there *is* double-​dipping and a friend I’ve referred to the place left after one visit because of that. I’ve had that happen to myself as well. Not hygienic, not cute.
Lastly, the reason why I left and have not been back since. I had my hair done by the woman (Diana?) who rents a chair at her salon. I’d watched her do hair/​makeup before and she seemed very capable and looked like she knew what she was doing. We had discussed doing my hair in waves for the wedding where I was the maid of honor and she had done a little trial on my hair and it looked lovely. I was so excited. Day of! She showed up 45 minutes late (no excuse, no warning, nothing) even though I stressed repeatedly I had to be at a WEDDING at a very specific time. Benish kept apologizing for her and mentioned the lateness had been an issue with other clients as well.
The hair color she used did nothing for my roots and later she extremely rudely claimed it was because of the hair dye my previous colorist had used. The next colorist I went to in order to fix her «work» had no problem with my roots and was able to fix the mess she had created without any issue. Not the hair color then, but the colorist expertise! The hairstyle we agreed on doing was CHANGED on the spot because she was running late for her other client! She would’ve had the time to do the hair we discussed and NOT been in a crazy rush had she actually shown up on time, but the fact that she changed. the. hairstyle we agreed on because of her own earlier irresponsibility was unbelievable. If I hadn’t been already running crazy late, I would’ve stormed out from the salon on the spot.
She continuously (and very nervously) kept asking me whether I liked my hair and considering it was not what we had agreed on and I had to be in a bridal party with two inches of roots showing, the answer was obvious — NOT okay. The makeup she did was fine (though fairly heavy for a daytime wedding), so I’ll give her that… to an extent, but the stress I experienced because of the hair failure cannot be described.
The hysterics (no exaggeration) she greeted me with when I had the audacity to complain a day later had to be seen to be believed. Not only did she blame me for her lateness (just…how?) but she excused herself of all blame, called me delusional in asking for a specific style (when she swore up and down she would be able to do it), and accused me of ruining her «good name and reputation.»
Benish was extremely warm and friendly whenever I would go to see her. Nevertheless, this experience ruined any desire to continue going to Women’s Zone.

Benish is AMAZING. She does amazing brows, she’s quick, and a sweetheart to boot. She also does a fantastic (and somehow not so painful) Brazilian wax. She is a ROCKSTAR! She makes you feel calm and comfortable during your treatment and afterwards I always feel like a million bucks. She is the only one who can touch my eyebrows and do my waxing. I am SO happy that I found her– she’s a GEM in the neighborhood. Wish I could give more stars!

First timer, I read the previous reviews how everyone spoke well of Benish so I thought hey why not give her a try. VERY BOLD of me. I don’t trust no one when it comes to my eyebrows I’m pretty sure the feeling is mutual. My eyebrow lady shut down her place, so for about 2 months I was walking around with Two Caterpillars on my face. You can check the photos to see my before and after. Nice and clean atmosphere and if your coming in car they have street parking. For every 25 cents it’s 15-​minutes. I will definitely come here more often!

This is a great spot for threading and I am a loyal customer of Benish — I have not gone anywhere else in NYC since I moved here! She is quick and gentle and I’m always satisfied. The prices are very affordable as well. Highly recommend.

I’ve been going to Benish for 2+ years and I won’t go anywhere else. I get the works; eyebrows threaded, underarms, legs and Brazilian wax and swear by them all. Before Benish, I would go to other places for my wax and ALWAYS find myself with painful ingrown hairs. Not since starting with her. The benefits of the wax she uses are: 1) Makes my skin so smooth 2) Those annoying dark marks under my arms are completely gone 3) Less painful 4) Allows me to go longer in between sessions.
Ladies and gents, run don’t walk to Benish and get the best wax you’ll ever experience with the added benefit of quick service.

All of the reviewers before me are so right. Benish has made threading a much more pleasant experience. I used to have tears at other threading places, but Benish threads perfect eyebrows so quickly, theres barely pain. The staff is always friendly and warm towards customers which is what you want when you go to a salon every few weeks. So grateful this place exists!

Benish is AMAZING!!! I went in with my eyebrows all messed up. I was super frustrated and BENISH came to the rescue!!! Now my eyebrows are looking amazing!
Benish encouraged me to try he Brazilian waxing (it was my first time so I was a little nervous) and she had me feel super comfortable and relaxed. She used this special wax called Lavender wax so it wouldn’t hurt as bad and would not irritate. I sincerely felt that she cared about how comfortable I felt durning the process. LOVED how it came out! Super recommend if I could give her infinity stars I will!!! THE BEST!

CAVEAT EMPTOR! Spend a few extra dollars more and go get what you need done by licensed individuals!

Clean, welcoming and quick are the first three words that come to mind. Banish runs this store and she is amazing! I’ve been coming here for almost a year now, and she does a splendid job on my eyebrows (threading) every time. I also get my lips and chin done with the chocolate wax. She also remembers not only me, but the kids that I nanny for (sometimes they are with me) and she asks about them. There is also a new hairstylist who graduated from aveda, named Katherine. Katherine also did a marvelous job on my hair, fresh, new and sleek. So ladies (or gentlemen) if you’re looking for a decently priced place for waxing, threading, haircut or even henna and makeup… go see Banish! You won’t be disappointed.

This place is a few blocks away from me, so decided to check it out.
First time I went on a Saturday morning. I was serviced by a young lady who had the coldest demeanor, despite the fact that she picked up right away that this was my first time getting my eyebrows threaded.
Second time, I went earlier this evening. This time, I was serviced by the famous Benish. Admittedly, she was tons quicker than the first young lady. Was done in a few minutes. Unfortunately, I wasn’t blown away like the other reviewers. The shaping is meh, and one brow is thicker and shorter than the other. I will have to even it out with tweezers and use pencil now until it grows out.
I don’t foresee myself returning here. I will stick with my old haunt in Yonkers, even if it is a trek.

Today reminded me why I stopped coming here. Strange atmosphere, not welcoming (I did walk in towards the end of the day maybe that’s the reason for a sour face?). No appreciation for gratuity, did not hear a «thank you.» The only girl who was there was handling money and threading eyebrows without washing hands or using sanitizer. It’s gross, especially when she finishes her job with aloe vera rub. Wash your hands! My previous experiences here with waxing: double dipping is a given. Nevertheless, if you are in need of a quick threading eyebrow fix this is the place to be.

Had a good experience as a first time getting waxed at this buisness the girl jay did a decent job on my whole body thank you for wiping down the wax after you finished

Okay, so I came here because my other spot is too far from home when I’m off. My eyebrows look amazing!!! They are friendly and fast paced. Very clean and really Good. I’m super happy with the end result. For $ 6 its a deal. I’m not sure who the young lady was who did mine but she was really efficient.

This was my first time here. Came because of the good reviews for threading. The lady everyone mentions in the comments wasn’t there. So I got the only lady there, I think her name is «Dolly» but not completely sure.
Anyways, she gets two stars because at least the brows ended up symmetrical. However, I came in with very full brows and asked for a clean up, and asked that she keep them thick and full. She ended up taking a lot off the bottom and they are very thin, high and super arched now. I don’t get it. Why would you take off so much? My face looks weird now and a pencil doesn’t help. Haven’t had this happen in at least 5 years. I’m pretty frustrated but I’ll come again to see the lady everyone talks about.

UPDATE: Ugh. I got waxed here by another lady that wasn’t Benish and it was the worst experience of my life. She was using a weird roller I’ve never seen before. Then started using a stick in wax and was DOUBLE DIPPING. She took forever and my legs were all sticky afterwards and random stuff stuck to them. FML. After later inspection, it hardly even seems like I’ve been waxed — there is hair left.
Original: 5 stars for benish eyebrows and facial. Amazing!!! Benish lived up to all her reviews. I got eyebrows and upper lip threading, eyebrow tint, and a facial with massage and extractions all for $ 81. My eyebrows look SPECTACULAR and my face is literally glowing and soooo soft.
I will never go anywhere else again for threading or for facials. I’m thrilled I finally tried this place after having run across it on Unilocal several times.
OH. And every 5^th eyebrow threading is free. I’ve never seen one that often at dozens of threading shops across the city. If they even have a card, it’s usually anywhere from the 7−10^th eyebrow threading free.

I absolutely love getting my eyebrows threaded by Benish. She is extremely friendly and does not rush through the session as that was my experience at other threading salons. The last time I went to Benish, I went into her shop howling like a werewolf because that’s how long it had been since my last session so you could only imagine how bad my eyebrows were. Fortunately for me, Benish was able to shape my eyebrows and I looked human again. Oh by the way, I also got my upper lip done for the first time. She used chocolate wax which smelled delish!!! Let’s just say that I went in howling and came out singing, «I shot the sheriff, but I didn’t shoot the de-​pu-​ty»… LMAO!!! Definitely give Benish a try, you won’t be disappointed :)

It’s always great to find little hidden gems in the neighborhood and Women Zone is certainly one of those! Late evening hours and right next to Starbucks and our very own «restaurant row,» this is easily my favorite place for threading and waxing that I can stop by on the way home after a long work day. A little TLC never hurt anyone, eh?
Benish and her team members make you feel welcome and instantly instill trust and confidence in you by demonstrating this oft elusive skill called listening. I know, it’s a rarity these days, no? My threading went smoothly and the waxing was a godsend. Minimal pain and stickiness and redness. I was thoroughly impressed.
The cherry on top of it all: my pleasant surprise when Benish actually greeted me with my name after having been there months ago! I admit I was all sorta’ glassy eyed and internally hummed the theme song to Cheers throughout my entire visit there!
…Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came~
Oh, and did I mention they have one of those loyalty cards for threading?
Go on, give Women Zone a try. You know you wanna’ and then go home and bask in smoothly gliding legs and perfectly arched brows while watching an old episode of Cheers and sipping on a cold one!

I’ve come many times for eyebrow threading and just recently did a wax here. Benish is the best, she hooks it up! Recommended by a friend whose eyebrows are always on point, and now that I know she’s amazing at waxing too– I’ll never turn back!
Highly recommended!

Came across this place through Unilocal a few hours before going away on my vacation I didn’t have enough time to go to my regular eyebrow threading lady so I searched for a place near my house and this one had the best reviews. I listened to my fellow Unilocalers and went in and asked for Benish. She was waxing a customer in the back and came out front and started helping me right away. She threaded my eyebrows beautifully. I am so happy with it that I might just make her my routine threader. Lol. I’ve revs wives many compliments on them.
By the way I went on an extremely cold day and the heat in there was very good. That is definitely a big plus. She also has punch cards and after a certain amount of visits. You receive a free service. I will definitely be coming back. Go see Benish !!!
