Reena Beauty Salon

Reena Beauty Salon has just earned itself a new regular. I was looking online for an affordable place to get my eyebrows threaded — previously, I had either had them tweezed or trimmed at facials, or waxed at Benefit, but ever since my first ever time having my eyebrows threaded in Singapore, I’ve realized that I actually prefer this method over tweezing and waxing. After doing a quick Google search — keywords ‘inexpensive eyebrow threading HK’, Reena Beauty Salon came up in a couple of forums. Their website stated that eyebrow threading was just $ 60, so I figured, why not?
I happened to be in Central today and while waiting for my mother, decided that this was as good a time as any to go to try it out. I called and asked if it would be all right for me to come in for an eyebrow threading in about half an hour’s time, and was told that it was no problem. So off I went — it’s actually hidden in an old building in LKF, so it’s a little bit of an uphill trek to get there. Its website states that it’s on the 7^th floor of Winner Building, and the directory board on the ground floor says so too, but both have not been updated — the salon is actually on the 4^th floor now, so do take note of that.
Reena herself is clearly very professional and experienced, and I was in and out of there in ten minutes — no joke. I couldn’t believe how quick it was! When she was done with one eyebrow, she asked me if she wanted it thinner or if this was okay, and I told her I wanted it just a teeny bit thinner. I was afraid I was going to regret saying this and that she was going to go overboard with that request, but thankfully, she didn’t!
If all you need is a quick eyebrow threading session, Reena’s Beauty Salon is perfect, and not to mention inexpensive. It’s far from glamorous — it’s not air conditioned (though there’s a fan), and it’s in an abandoned building with a dingy lobby and lifts that creak. If you’re looking to be treated like a star, this isn’t the place for you. Oh, one thing I noticed was that after the threading, there were bits of eyebrow hair on my face (she didn’t buff it off after threading), but it wasn’t really an issue — I just brushed it away with a tissue. Overall, I’m definitely glad I found this place and it’ll be my go-​to from now on!
