Their website is very easy to navigate and book an appointment through. I was greeted by a very kind esthetician and receptionist. The vibe of Thread is lovely! It's a nice space that kinda reminds me a bit of a modernized salon-like barber shop. Once it was my turn, I sat down and she got right to work, confirming I wanted a clean. She didn't ask many questions after, but hey, I'm not picky with my brows, I just want them to look nice and even, and she definitely delivered! The service was fantastic throughout! Also, at the end, she put some soothing aloe and gave me a temple massage -- it was so lovely :). They have a loyalty punch card so you can get a free wax after coming 7+ times I believe. I'll certainly be back!

I tried to go different days they weren't working & it doesn't matter. They miraculously are working that day... not happy. The prices are great so I do want to try another location to see if it's the same experience. I also asked to get my inner butt since I paid for Brazilian and she refused. She said no. For a service that I'm paying for. It was not cool. Will not be back. I also am susceptible to ingrowns and I thought it was so ironic when she told me it's bc I don't go often or that I'm using other people. When in fact, I was stuck with her the last 4x.

I needed a quick wax before vacation and since I had a last minute work trip to NYC, I was under a…read moretime crunch. So when I looked up waxing services on Yelp and noticed that Uni K was nearby, with great reviews and online booking I was locked in! First of all, it was so happy to see that they had some same day appointment availability! Why that may not always be the case, some booking systems will still only show starting next day. I also loved that their menu had a lot of options, including more than one type of Brazilian to book. When I showed up to my appointment, I checked in and filled out some basic, new client information. I was then taken to my room with my waxer promptly after. They use hard wax here which many people prefer, but for me hurts the most. But I don't really care what is used as long as they're hygienic, quick, effective and will not spawn in-grown hairs. My waxer was quick, thorough and one week out...things are still looking good! As a bonus, first time clients got a significant discount which made me even happier about my experience. While my experience before check out was already excellent, that was just icing on the cake. Overall, I left very impressed and will definitely return again in the future!

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING and honestly upsetting experience. My little sister ran to her appointment…read moreand arrived flushed and a little sweaty, and the technician -- I believe her name was B -- proceeded to wax half the area before suddenly stopping and telling her that she was "too sweaty" to continue and that she would need to wait 40 MINS + an additional hour if the next client showed up. For context, my sister has been getting waxed regularly for over eight years. She is athletic, healthy, and this has never happened to her before. She was not dripping in sweat or experiencing anything extreme -- she had simply rushed to make the appointment and was flushed. None of that should even matter in terms of how respectfully a client is treated, but it made the reaction feel even more disproportionate. The technician told her she would need to wait 40 minutes or longer before they could continue, in part because another client was coming in. That is where this started to feel less like a legitimate waxing concern and more like a scheduling issue that my sister was being blamed for. I could completely understand saying, "Let's give you a few minutes to cool down so the wax adheres better." But stopping halfway through a service and telling someone to wait 40+ minutes is a very different situation. I have also been getting waxed for around 10 years, including throughout hot and humid New York summers, and I have never experienced or even heard of someone being treated this way simply for being a little sweaty. Beyond the explanation making very little sense, telling a client she is "too sweaty" in that manner is incredibly rude and inappropriate. There are professional, discreet ways to address moisture without making someone feel embarrassed or ashamed of their body. The fact that half the service had already been completed before this suddenly became an issue also made me seriously question the technician's judgment and experience. If it was genuinely unsafe to wax her, why was the service started in the first place? This is also a waxing salon with fans and powder available to help keep the skin dry. What made the situation even worse was what happened afterward. My sister called me on FaceTime while she was there and was literally in tears trying to advocate for herself and explain that the situation had made her uncomfortable. When my other younger sister later called the salon for more information, the woman at the front desk described my sister as "aggressive" and said she had made the staff uncomfortable. Well let me tell you, I'm the oldest sister and our youngest sister doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. It made me so sad to see her shakily defending herself. She was upset, embarrassed, and trying to stand up for herself while crying -- not behaving aggressively. All the receptionist had to do was apologize! Getting defensive with emotional clients is never the answer. If you are the owner please review the call as they are all recorded. My sister also told me that after the waxing specialist left the room, she overheard waxers giggling nearby. I cannot say whether they were laughing about her, and I won't pretend to know that. But in that moment, after she had already been made to feel embarrassed and vulnerable, hearing staff giggling only made her feel even more humiliated. Timing, discretion, and basic emotional awareness matter enormously in intimate services like waxing. At the end of the day, this felt like an inexperienced waxer and a scheduling problem being turned into my sister's fault, while her feelings were completely dismissed. A client should never leave a waxing appointment feeling ashamed of a normal bodily response, humiliated, and then be labeled "aggressive" simply for saying she felt uncomfortable. Stopping a service halfway through, giving a questionable explanation, making the client feel embarrassed, and then dismissing her reaction afterward is unacceptable. I would not recommend this location based on how this was handled. SHAME ON YOU ALL YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. MEANGIRL ACTIVITIES AT THIS LOCATION!!!! also not this is not the first time ive heard of other issues at this location. DO NOT LET THE FOUR STARS FOOL YOU. TERRIBLE STAFF HERE.

I then decided to get laser treatments a few years ago, but the results don't last forever and I honestly didn't want to start doing them again, so I resorted to a razor, blech. Anyway, I've seen this place on my way to work a few times and last Friday I decided that I had enough of the razor blades. From booking an appointment, to being checked in, waxed and leaving was painless, literally. First, I went to their website and they had multiple time slots open, so I booked my appointment. Upon my arrival I was greeted by the employee at the front who was super sweet. I was then called in about 5 minutes later by Heather. The waxing room was clean, the bed/table was soft and there was music playing. Heather was a sweetheart and we chatted and laughed the entire time- which was nice because Brazilians can be kinda uncomfortable. Also taking into account that I went to the same women for over 10 years, so nobody's been so up close and personal since her. Now, let's get to the goods, the wax. The wax was legit painless. It's purple and I believe it's referred to as hard wax, so none of those fabric strips are involved in ripping the wax off your skin. No irritation, no ingrowns, nothing. All in all, I had a pleasant experience here and I will definitely return :)

From the moment I sat down, the technician was rude, abrasive, and shockingly rough. She repeatedly stabbed, scraped, and dug into my cuticles with excessive force while I sat there visibly wincing in pain. Throughout the entire appointment she kept saying, "Too much cuticle. Too much cuticle. Too much cuticle," as though my cuticles were somehow the problem instead of the way she was treating my hands. What disturbed me even more was her hygiene. She used the same cuticle pusher/cleaning tool on every single finger after scraping away dead skin and cuticle, and never once wiped it off, disinfected it, or cleaned it between fingers. She simply moved from one finger to the next while debris was still on the tool!!! Gross!! I found that absolutely disgusting and completely unacceptable in a salon. She also kept jerking my hands around instead of handling them carefully. Then, despite me never asking for shorter nails, she filed them down to nubs. To make matters worse, the gel manicure didn't even last a week. The strangest part was that after being rough and unpleasant throughout the entire appointment, she suddenly started rubbing my shoulders without asking. By that point I didn't want her touching me at all. It felt intrusive and completely inappropriate. The salon itself smelled unpleasant and did not feel particularly clean, which only added to my concerns after watching the way the tools were handled. I still tipped because I always tip, but I genuinely regret it. I left feeling tense, irritated, and honestly relieved that the appointment was over. A manicure is supposed to be relaxing. This felt painful, unsanitary, and completely unprofessional. I will never return, and I would strongly recommend going somewhere else.
