Spa Zeeba

Let me start of by saying I have thick shapely eyebrows that i like to maintain.
First time I went, she did a fairly decent job.
Second time, she made the end of my left eyebrow string thin. I complained, she said she had to do it to even them out so it could grow from the top (?). Fine.
The third and final time she thinned my left eyebrow out completely and gave the right one a new unwanted arch shape. I was furious. So she told me to look in the mirror as she was doing it to make sure she was doing ok. Like if you do eyebrows for a living, you should damn well know what «stray hairs» are, and what it means to just CLEAN up. My brows are super sad and wildly uneven now.
If you need something quick and don’t really care, go here. If you love your brows, stay away!

Very nice ! Fast service and they offer student discount. If you live in uptown go here :)

Great place for getting my eyebrows threaded!!! The lady does GREAT work

I have my eyebrows threaded here by Bahava and love it! On Tuesdays it’s only $ 10. Great deal! With all of the construction and one way streets, parking is a bit tricky but well worth it.

Eyebrow threading on point! The cost is 15, only reason it’s 4 stars. I try to get there on Tuesday, when it is $ 10.

Love this place for threading, and really enjoyed the foot reflexology massage I received.

Bought the 3 microdermabrasion groupon, call me a facial snob, but you get what you pay for. I have learned my lesson here. I will stick to my fav spa in River Ridge!!! The place is not clean, you look up at a filthy air vent. The blanket is ripped. and smelled. The older lady that gave me the facial, did not bathe apparantly that day or maybe neglected her deodorant. No relaxing music, no candles, not «spa– like» there are washcloths thrown over the lights above to dim them. She rushed through the facial so fast, she was done in about 25 minutes. My face felt like it had been put through the wringer when it was over and I routinely have microdermabrasion facials. She kept going in and out to get water as there is no sink in the room where facials are done. Don’t go here if you are looking for the «spa» experience. I have more of a spa experience at my home! I left with part of the scrub still on my face and in my ears and behind my neck. She took off part of the products with kleenex! Really??? They win here, since I will not be going back to get my other 2 facials, sometimes you just have to cut your losses! Rethink your visit before you go here, we have many great spas in NOLA, this just isn’t one of them. ICK!

I really like this little business, owned by Claudia-​the-​magnificent and Bhavana-​the-​kind. I can’t comment on Bhavana’s work because I didn’t have threading, but she was so nice to me, running the «front office» of the spa and working with me on scheduling, as I was in town for just a short while. Claudia gave me a reflexology massage that was just fantastic. I highly recommend her. She also gave me a manicure and took her time with it — three solid coats and real attention to making the nails look beautiful. I also had a microdermabrasion that was fantastic — my skin glowed afterwards, and my blood flow to my face was re-​enlivened. I highly recommend their work and if I lived here, I’d be a regular. They are conveniently located on Magazine Street, near State. Give them a try! They really care, and they make you feel at home.

What happened to this place??? Normal
Threader nowhere to be found and ended up with worst threading ever. Shapeless and she didn’t seem to have a clue what she was doing and then got bossy when I pointed it out. No thanks! She also charged my elderly mother for a full face and didn’t even do her eyebrows. WTH???

If Podiatrists could be this GOOD!
I was spoiled by a perfectionist podiatrist (my mother’s most demanding pleasure) and from the moment i was referred to Claudia I have stuck to her. I go for the pedicure and eyebrows. … she makes it impeccably… like a physician, which is what I understand she was in her country. She has respected my eyebrows, which I thank her so much, SO very much, because if it wasn’t for knowing that she will, I would be by now have an unibrow, afraid of loosing my natural healthy wannabe brooke shields. And the pedicures, no one has said that it’s cheap with her, but it’s all worth it. I have from time to time have to get a fast one (hers are a minimum 1 hour!) and I pay the consequences later, when the hang nails are so thick or the nail goes ingrown because it wasn’t cut properly or consciously. This spa is not to be judged by the looks… but the results are solid.

This was my first time threading and I am so happy with the results and the customer service. It wasn’t any more painful than waxing so I was thrilled about that! If this last a month versus the 2−3wks of waxing I will be a customer for life. Great first waxing experience

Bhavana, is the best at threading eyebrows. I am always satisfied with her threading skills & always making sure me, as a customer is always satisfied. She is very efficient & you won’t be disappointed. Spa Zeeba is a serene & professional setting. I enjoy receiving services here, & highly recommend others to this place. #PainFree… Eyebrow threading is $ 15, but on tuesdays she offers a $ 5 discount. Only $ 10 can’t beat that.

Bhavana is her name and brow threading is her game! Bhavana seriously saved the life of my brows which were super thin and blah. She helped them to grow out with her threading technique. I usually walk right in to her chair, never a long wait. Students receive a discount and tuesday’ s the price is $ 10. After experiencing the benefits of brow threading, I will never wax or razor again. Don’t let bad brows ruin your selfies. She’s there Mon-​Sat.

Eyebrow threading is great! I know nothing of the other services, but the eyebrow threading is awesome. She does a great job and is super friendly. Ive been coming here for almost 2 years for it. Its $ 5 off on Mondays & Tuesdays, btw.
I noticed a couple of people had negative reviews of the threading services. Then I noticed the dates which they were posted. Please give it another chance if you went late summer/​early fall 2013! This was not the normal person working! The regular lady (I feel bad but I have no clue how to spell her name) went on an extended vacation back home to India. She had someone take over for her for about 2 months, but that lady was awful. I know, because she butchered my brows and insisted that I let them grow out in areas where I grow no hair.
But the normal lady is back! and my eyebrows are happy again!

I had a good eyebrow-​threading experience at Spa Zeeba. It is convenient to errands that I run anyway, and the fact that I could just walk in and be served was a great convenience on the day that I went.
Magazine Street spas can be really cumbersome for me, parking and waiting and paying for a bunch of extra perks I don’t care about. This was not one of those places.
The attendant addressed me immediately, gave me exactly the eyebrow-​threading I wanted, and had me out the door in minutes. She offered me a student discount without my even having to ask about one. She was friendly and professional, and I will definitely be back.

Going to Spa Zeeba you feel like you’re being punk’d. If it weren’t for the eyebrow threading I’d give this place 0 stars. By no means is this a «relaxing spa experience.» The building itself is very pleasantly designed with an exposed brick fireplace, newly installed wooden floors and tasteful track lighting. Which is why it’s a shame for the décor they chose plastic fold-​up tables covered with STAINED white towels and random poster board ads shoved in corners and nailed to the walls.
As for my mani/​pedi, the woman cut my cuticles DRY and it felt like someone was ripping my nails off and when I actually started bleeding, she told me, «Oh that’s normal.» When she did finally rinse off my feet, she just air dried them, no lotion, so my skin was all dried out. It was hands down the WORST mani/​pedi I’ve received in my life. I don’t think the woman had any idea as to what is actually involved in giving one and from the way she was yapping on and on about her plans for alternate career paths, I don’t think she had any interest in learning how to give a proper pedicure to begin with. It’s almost like whoever owns the place just told a random friend who needed money, «You could always make a few bucks doing nails at my spa.» and she replied, «Meh sure why not…»
My friend also bought a Groupon for a facial and she said it was the worst of her life. She said where they put her her face was under an a/​c vent so her face was just freezing the whole time.
This place should really just offer eyebrow threading and give up on the rest. The only thing I would ever go back for is a last-​minute eyebrow threading though I found a place that does a better job and is cheaper in Metairie.

I love Claudia’s massages! Per my trotting around the USofA, I like to visit my massage places to decompress. I have my favorites in NY, Los Angeles, and then Claudia in NOLA.
Claudia’s technique is fantastic — she was actually an M.D. in her home country of Colombia & her expertise of the body shows. Her massages target muscles & move joints almost like a physical therapist, but with the relaxing pleasures of a masseuse. She also aligns your body before she starts, which I’ve only experienced with one other masseuse.
Although she doesn’t volunteer the info, she can read the body very well & tell where you carry your stress; it’s worth asking her opinion if you’re worried about an imbalance or alignment issue.
I have actually gone to her for years now & when I have friends & family with me, I treat them to a massage with her. My boyfriend’s parents, who are physical educators, loved her attention to the natural movements of the body.
And she does an amazing scalp rub! (For sure, plan to bathe at home or at a nearby friend’s as you def depart oily). You can ask her not to touch your hair but fo’ sho’ you are missing out!
(Or plan nothing for the day, as I do, & allow yourself to absorb the oils before bathing that night or whatevs.)

I came here for a fruit facial– one that was posted on Groupon. I was taken through the spa, through the back parking lot, into a little shed that was converted into a massage/​spa room. The fruit facial consisted of a fruity lotion being put on my face and massaged in with a Clarisonic. Two or three rounds of that. It was not a facial. Then the woman, who was in her 50s or older and didn’t fully understand English, asked if I liked it. It is hard for me to tell her, «no, it was terrible,» so I lied and said it was fine. Standing in front of the door, she put her hand out and said, «tip!»
Do NOT go here. They post frequently on Groupon and I cringe when I see it. Bad news.

The great reviews don’t lie!
Bhavana is one of the best. She is never super crowded. Usually make visits once a month. I am a convert from Earthsavers. I got exhasted with making appointments for my brows. That was a little too much time invested on appointments. I really love the walk in walk right out theme at any place I visit. All in all it’s convenient and well worth my money.

Quick summary:
Don’t come here for the waxing.
Come here for the threading.
For those who don’t have personal boundaries:
I came in a few weeks ago, and had two people help me.
1. threading my eyebrows. I usually go with waxing, and to make it last longer, i pluck a few hairs now and then until it become unrecognizable. I’m not a big fan of threading because the one and only time I did it, I started to bleed. but i read some where that threading or plucking is the bet way to preserve the skin because of its delicate nature. I’m going to do the switch because the South Asian woman who helped me was really nice, and helpful. She insisted that the person who did my eyebrows before had my eyebrows shaped wrong, and that she was going to fix it. … ok, It was perfect when I last got it waxed, and I know I messed it up. There were a two extra hairs that I wanted her to remove, but she insisted that I leave it because it’s supposed to be a part of my eyebrow. oh well. I just went home and plucked it. I’ll definitely come back for threading.
2. Waxing: i won’t voluntarily come back for waxing. the woman likes to use small amount of wax to remove small amounts of hair at a time. and it wasn’t until the end when I realized that she re-​dips her wooden sticks unto the wax jar. not cool. I like how she used the tissue panties to get around my privates without touching me, but that was not enough to get me over the reused dip stick, and how she insisted that doing it in smaller patches was more comfortable.
