S4 Salon & Spa – Shingaar

They lowered the eyebrow price down to $ 1.99 :) Everytime I go, they always do a great job.
Sometimes there is a wait, but not all that long.

Some positives about my experience were:
–cheap price
–my eyebrows weren’t ruined
–they threader lady was very nice
Some negatives about my experience were:
–within 30 seconds of entering the building, I recognized it as a poorly run business. I wasn’t greeted by anyone despite standing at the counter for a good 10 minutes while the eyebrow lady was no where in site. I just wanted to ask if she was indeed working that day and if so, how long the wait was.
–when I went to pay, they didn’t have enough money in the register to give me change… for a $ 20. I mean WTH? Had my boyfriend not had a $ 5 on him, I don’t know what they’d have done since my eyebrows were already done at that point.
–although my eyebrows weren’t ruined, they weren’t my best lookin brows either. Stupid me felt guilty complaining and making her spend more time on them because 1) she really seemed to have taken her time in the first place and 2) the line of people needing to be threaded was only getting longer. I’m such a sucker.

What a waste of time.
I will say this I paid for a $ 4 eyebrow job and I got a $ 4 job.
Staff was ok whatever but what are ppl raving about. All that was done where my eyebrows which they couldn’t quite shape, the vicinity of my brows that should be cleaned up where not…
My advice skip it.

I tried this place once or twice. Very cheap and the staff did a good job, but Mehak Beauty Salon (there are two– the one on Union Tpke is closer to me) offers the same services for the same price. So I am going to stick with Mehak.
This place is right next to Reflections Hair Salon (about a block from the large Stop and Shop on Hillside Avenue) going towards the CIP.

OMFG FUCK YESS!!! So happy to have found this on here, I’ve been going since 2003 and the price has stayed the same. You will not find $ 4 eyebrow threading ANYWHERE else. Like the previous reviewer said, there really is no catch — they are damn good. No appointment needed, just walk in. Street parking can be annoying and sometimes there could be a wait, but it’s totally worth it. The line moves fast and while you’re waiting, you can look at all the weird random shit they sell behind the counter and wonder who on earth would ever buy any of this crap. Seriously, it’s like they went to a bunch of garage sales, bought a bunch of useless stuff and stuck it behind the counter along with a few Bollywood movies to sell. Once I noticed a Holiday perfume gift pack that was like 10 years old and covered in dust, but you don’t go here to buy that stuff — you come here to get your eyebrows done and for that, they get 5 stars. Yeahh Shingaar!!!

I couldn’t find this place through google maps so the address is approximate but its right on the corner. This is a local treasure where they do eyebrow threading along with other facial threading, waxing, hair. It’s run by about three different Indian women from what I’ve seen and does 4 DOLLAR EYEBROW THREADING… now for your Manhattanites I know what you’re thinking… Where’s the catch??? But there is no catch. the women are swift, efficient and you end up spending 5 dollars including the tip. The wait can get pretty long towards the weekend but they stay open until 8 or 9 on certain nights so you can get in there after work.
After paying only 4 dollars for perfect brows I refuse to pay anything else.
