I go here solely for Minal, who has maintained my brows for the past four years. She is great, patient and so sweet! I would recommend her!

This is a review for Meenal! She is quite possibly the sweetest and most talented eyebrow threader I have ever met. I’ve always been extremely particular about how my eyebrows look, and she makes them look absolutely perfect every time. She really takes the time to make sure you are happy with what she has done, and if not she fixes it. She is very gentle and meticulous with her work and it truly shows once she is done. The price of $ 7 is also unbeatable for the quality of work. I also get my underarms waxed from her it is completely painless and literally takes less than 5 minutes. I also never used to get my upper lip threaded, but she finally convinced me one day, and said the first one was on her, and I am so glad I did because it looks great! All in all, Meenal is absolutely wonderful, go to her and you will not regret it!

Minal is the only person I trust in the city to thread my eyebrows. She is super friendly and does a wonderful job every time.

Most of the reviews here are for Minal, whom I love and who is a sweet and talented lady. However, I think it’s worth saying a word or two about the hair cutting and styling services. I can’t speak for anyone else who works there, but Alex has been cutting my hair for eight years now and I don’t let anyone else touch it. He takes the time to listen to what I want, and cuts my hair with a long view so that it continues looking good even when well grown out. My hair cut is complicated and I’m persnickety about it, but Alex has never failed me. I’ve sent up to twelve of my friends to him and all but one have come back extremely satisfied. He also charges more affordable rates than most places that do such a good job.

Minal has been the only person I’ve trusted to take care my eyebrows after the ‘Hot Wax Incident’ of ’07, the ‘Chola Incident’ of ’09, and the ‘Happy Plucker Incident’ of 2010. I’ve been commuting the 40 minutes to get here, for a year. This lady is worth it. She’s kind, quick, and super friendly. Within one meeting, i felt like i’d been coming to her for years. And my eyebrows? Shaped to perfection. I’m not able to make it to her place as often as I’d like, though she’s super easy to book with(just call or text), but she’s my go-to for when I need these hairy monsters put into place. If you’re anywhere near Village Studio, get your ‘brows done here.

This review is for threading services ONLY. Mina is a total doll, she’s been doing my eyebrows for a couple of years and has slowly reshaped them to fit my face better. $ 7 every 2 – 3 weeks is totally reasonable for fast /friendly service. It does get super busy on Fridays so call ahead or be prepared to wait. if you’re getting pretty for the weekend. I walk past this place every day to /from work and she always waves at me through the window, and when I get too busy and the brows get a bit sasquatch-esque she just waves me in.

I’ve been getting my eyebrows done here for.4 years? I love Meenal, and you will too. She listens to what you want but also offers her suggestion. I will never ever let anyone else do my eyebrows. She knows my shape and never messes up. Go once, and you will be a regular. Your best bet is to call and make an appt. Even if it’s only a few hours in advance. Sometimes it’ll be completely empty but if you go at the wrong time, she’ll have like 5 people waiting and rush through them all.

I had discovered Minal while I was looking for an eyebrow wax. She told me she does threading and if I didn’t like it I didn’t have to pay. Well, after the first time I was absolutely hooked. I’ve brought friends to her who had never done threading and now, they are hooked too! My first time was over a year ago and I haven’t had my eyebrows waxed since discovering Minal. She is seriously terrific. She’s quick and for $ 7, you can’t go wrong!

I totally agree with the other reviewers about the woman who does eyebrows — she’s great. I don’t have much to compare her to, because that was my first eyebrow threading, but I enjoyed it and thought the results looked fantastic. And you can’t beat $ 7 for the price. But then I made the mistake of getting my hair cut by the guy who works there, I think his name is Arkady! Eek! He literally gave me a mullet! Worst haircut I’ve had in fifteen years — just hideous. I showed him a picture before we started, but he completely ignored it and did just what he wanted to do. Which was a seventies mullet. To be fair, I said«Sure» and«Yeah» and«Fine» to everything, so I bear a lot of the blame — but he was a LOT more interested in dissing my last stylist and puffing his own skills up and telling me what exactly I should do than in listening to me. There’s a point at which you just hope they know what they’re doing, right? Go for the eyebrow and lip threading. Stay far, far away from the hair cuts.

I’ve been going to Minal(sp?) for about 4 years now. Not only is she super duper nice, but she is amazing at what she does. She’s also very reasonable as far as pricing. Eyebrows cost $ 7 and lip is$ 5(gots ta take care of the ‘tash) I adore her. She has this really great card, 5 sessions 6th session is free! Hello?! She apparently also does body waxing. I am on the fence about letting her see my kitten,(it might be akward no?) but I am considering it. Anyway, you should go! Especially if you live/work in the NYU area…

I went to this place about a year and a half ago and I’m really happy to have found an eyebrow threading place that’s affordable. I was paying nearly $ 24 to get my eyebrows done in SF which was freaking expensive considering I had to do this every 2 weeks. Anyway, the place is extremely well lit and clean and the first time you go get your eyebrows done — you receive a frequent user card so after 5 sessions, you receive the sixth session for free. Eyebrows — $ 7
