This place was AMAZING. Quick, kind, and affordable. My brows never looked so good. I went today to treat myself, and I'm so glad that I did. Ranju was sweet and considerate, and she gave me advice about how to refine my eyebrow game (who even knew?). It was less painful than tweezing, and much cleaner, faster, and with extremely better results. I went to cheer myself up with some superfluous self-giving, and after my appointment, I knew I would be back - I've seen the error of my ways, and my brows are thanking me. read more

I grew out my eyebrows for 4 months due to the pandemic. I had my eyebrows done today ( Monday), and I was extremely disappointed. My eyebrows are uneven and shapeless. The esthetician stated, your " left eye brow is good, you just need to grow out the other one" both of my eyebrows were fully grown out!!!!please stay away from this place. read more

I moved to Cambridge from India a month back and was searching for a place to get my eye brow threaded. I had shortlisted two places to try before which I came across BOSTON THREADING in yelp. It had very good reviews. I definitely wanted to give it a try. I first looked at Harvard square branch and heard Ranju would be there only on Sunday and Tuesday.I decided to go there on a Sunday. Then realized that they opened a new branch in downtown crossing. This place is vey near to the T. I was quite reluctant to go initially as its a new place but definitely worth it. Ranju is very good at her work and I am very happy with eye brows shape she s given. I would now fix this place for my eye brows. read more

This was my first time EVER going to get my eyebrows threaded. In fact it was the first time I'd ever gone to get anything done to my eyebrows. Prior to this I had always used tweezers to get any unruly strays. I naturally have very full, dark brows. (Think Hermione) and I like them very much to stay on the fuller side. I just wanted to clean it up a bit and give it a more defined shape. First of all- Location. Make sure you go in through the doors that are right across from the 'Gold Clock' standing on the side walk. You go up the elevators and a take a right and you'll see Boston just a couple shops down to the left. It's small and very clean. Ranju and another associate greeted me right on arrival and were incredibly friendly. I was very fortunate and got Ranju to do my eyebrows. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I told Ranju it was my first time and that I just wanted to clean up my brows. She made a point to let me know that if at any point the pain was too much to let her know and we could take a break. Fortunately for her I have a fairly high pain tolerance so my eyes just watered a bit. The whole time was very casual- we just chit chatted and before I knew it- we were done. 10 minutes maybe. After coming home and looking in the mirror upclose- I couldn't believe it. There wasn't a single stray. Not even a little tiny light fuzzy one. My eyebrows were... how do you say? ON FLEEK. I think that what really makes this place is that they know how to make your natural eyebrows suit you. Prior to this my eyebrows were on the thicker fuller side with very minimal arches to them. I came out and while I still have nice full eyebrows the shape that Ranju created gives just the perfect amount of arch/shapeliness without taking too much away from that natural fullness that I enjoyed. I'm a converted threader. Will definitely be coming back! Check in on yelp and you'll get your eyebrows done for $10 instead of $15! read more

So happy this place has opened up! Akriti was so nice and did an amazing job fixing and cleaning up my eyebrows! I will be a regular!

These gals are great! Incredibly friendly, moderate priced, and really understand each persons optimal eyebrow--cheesy, I know, but it's super important. I came here with my friend Shannon who had been coming here for a while she has natural, thinner eyebrows (think Nord meets Irish) while mine are thick and long (typical Latin). These ladies managed to absolutely rock it!!! Without me having to ask, they knew to do a basic clean up, not going to thin, maintaining the shape, and even trimming my eyebrows (sad, but necessary!) I would definitely recommend them to anyone living in the Brighton/Allston/Newton area. It's a much better alternative to the expensive beauty bars around town. read more

The best threading establishment - hands down. The girls here never mess up and they truly care about what the client wants.

This place is amazing! Very convenient location for those who work downtown or in the financial district. The space is beautifully decorated and the women working there are so friendly and genuine. They do an excellent job and I could not be more satisfied. It can get busy if you go after work or around lunchtime, but even during the busy times there is plenty of seating and they move everyone along quickly, without compromising their work. The price is fair for downtown and every 10th eyebrow threading is free. A++ I can not say enough about this place. read more

I love Boston Threading! Never a long wait and my brows haven't looked this good in years. I've been to both the downtown & back bay locations and both were awesome. read more

This is a great place ! They are so quick, very nice and provide an awesome service! It was my second time & I will be back again. Don't forget to grab a punch card! Thanks :) read more

Ranju knows exactly what I want. Been to their Brighton location so many times and come outside with my happy face always, I am so happy when they opened right in the heart of the downtown, close to my job even though all my friends are happy too. Will be back frequently read more

They have walk-ins and the wait time is generally 0-10 minutes which is great for the service received. The ladies there are really sweet and do a really good job for what it's worth. I gave it 4 and not 5 stars because i would've preferred for the lady to stick to my request of only cleaning up my brows, instead of shaping it... I lost some volume because of that. It doesn't look bad, but I don't dig this shape either. read more

I'm going to be honest, my brows were BAD, and it was after 7pm so I thought no way was I going to find a place. But I was wrong, not only did I find a place, I found a great place! The place was clean and bright, service was quick,both the girls there were extremely friendly, and my brows look great! Will definitely be back read more

Small space with just 2 chairs and a couch for seating. The location can be a bit hard to find since it's on the second floor of the Jewelry Exchange building. Came here around 5PM on a Saturday with no wait. No complaints on the service. The two people working were super friendly. $15 seemed a little higher than average for just a brow service, but I had purchased a $10 for $15 Groupon, so gave it a shot. There are other eyebrow threading places closer to where I live, but if I'm in the area, I would come here again! read more

Amazing work, great customer service, and very reasonable prices. I came in to have my eyebrows done by Akriti and couldn't have asked for a better experience. It was my first time getting my eyebrows threaded and I will never go back to wax! Akriti was so nice and welcoming and made me feel so comfortable. One of my eyebrows has always been more arched than the other and Akriti shaped them so that you can't even tell the difference. Can't even explain how happy I am. I will definitely be coming back! Thanks Akriti! read more

Boston Threading is a boutique threading place nestled deep within busy Washington Street. However, if you venture to find it, you'll receive a fantastic threading experience. I went for the first time last night and had a great experience. The technicians know what they are doing and are very receptive to feedback and making your brows perfect. Prices are very fair, especially if you use the Yelp coupon (reduces eyebrow threading from $15 to $12). I will definitely be going back! read more

I've come here three times with full grown in eyebrows. I always leave with perfectly shaped and threaded brows. It is a little difficult to find but once you do, you won't want to go to another threading place again. I recommend coming on the weekends as the women who does my eyebrows works wonders! read more

This place used to be good. Now, however, they have hired new people who have no idea what they're doing and the quality has gone way down. I've been a regular customer for the past 2.5 yrs, normally going twice a month. I had not gone for a few weeks because I wanted to grow my eyebrows out and make them thicker since last time I went to this place and asked that they don't make my eyebrows thinner, they didn't listen and went and thinned them out anyway. I decided to give them a second chance anyway. But that's it, I'm no longer going to this place. First of all, the lady was definitely a newbie and not just at this salon, but at threading in general. I get that it takes time to get used to but, at the end of the day, if I'm paying $15 for a professional service, I expect professional-level quality of said service. I could feel that she just did not have a good grip on the thread. The girl who used to be there before was really fast and precise and this lady was the exact opposite. Second, I explained that I just wanted her to clean my eyebrows on top and in the middle, and shape the sides making them a little more pointy. It took her three tries and she still did not manage to do what I asked her to. In fact, I was just inspecting my eyebrows and I saw that she missed hairs that are really hard to miss. I mean, if you're a professional threader, you'd be ashamed of yourself for missing those spots. Now I have to spend extra time doing it myself. Third, and this is more of a Boston thing, they charge you $15 for this plus tip (so, $18). Are you kidding me? I've lived in New York and Los Angeles - places where people are a LOT more vain than Boston and the most I've paid for eyebrow threading is $10 and that was at a very fancy LA salon. Normally it's around $5-$8. Also, I always find it very disrespectful when employees speak in a different language in front of customers. Don't get me wrong. My original language is not English either but, whenever I am around people who don't speak my language, I speak English out of respect for them. I don't want them to think that I'm talking smack about them. That should be the case especially if said people are your customers. So yeah, enter at your own risk. I gave them an extra star for old time's sake and because they are actually nice, not rude. But the quality of service is definitely not what it used to be and definitely not worth $15. read more

Went with a friend on an early Thursday morning to the small boutique. Just as professional and home-y as the one in Brighton. Felt very personalized and comfortable, almost like doing it at a friend's house. Friendly service and inexpensive ($12 for just eyebrows) makes it highly preferable to any of the salons in the area that offer threading. It was always such a hassle to get out to Brighton by T, so having this downtown location is so much more convenient, which means customers will be able to come more often. I just wish there was more signage for it from the street level so more people could be aware of it. read more

I am very picky with my brows and they do not disappoint. I brought my mom and cousin in for their first threading experience and the woman working was wonderful. We all walked out with perfect brows in 20 minutes. Highly recommend! read more

Perfectly located, professional and with great results! I used a check-in offer to save $2 and was able to sneak in during the last twenty minutes of a workday. I will definitely be returning! read more

Always quick and pleasant. Threading is the best way to wake care of those pesky eyebrows and upper lip!

Two years ago after finding this threading place on Yelp which had all 5 star reviews, I found Ranju (the owner). At that time, it was only Ranju doing the threading. Ranju is fabulous---takes her time, is gentle---with the end result being beautiful quality eyebrows. If this review were for her, it would be 5 stars. However, Ranju has since expanded and hired co-workers who do not provide the same level of service. She also works limited hours and so it is difficult to schedule time with her. I have been back twice, once with my mother, and we both left dissatisfied. The other co-workers do not take their time, nick and cut the skin and are not particular about the shape and so your eyebrows may be of different shapes at the end. They have also raised their price for eyebrows from $10 to $12. Will not be going back unless Ranju is working. :-( :-( read more

FINALLY a place where I can get my eye brows done and walk out confident that they look clean, sharp and thick! As you can tell I am happy with this place. My beautician (not sure that's the proper term but oh well) was light handed which is IMPORTANT when getting the eye brows threaded as it can get painful. I had the normal redness but the experience wasn't my most painful, so I was pleased. My eye brows looked great and no its not a subjective opinion. Moreover the place was packed when i went, always a good sign. My only grievance is how expensive it is but given the location i guess it makes sense. P.S. this salon was recommended by a makeup artist so clearly that has a lot of weight. read more

I didn't catch the name of who threaded my brows but she did a great job. They're perfectly even and just how I wanted them. All the girls were courteous and friendly even though some rude lady was giving them a hard time I would recommend this place to anyone! It's a little hard to find, so almost to the Chipotle on Washington and it'll be the building on the left, it had a gold front. 2nd floor. read more

This is now my new go-to threading location in Boston. However, I always get kind of lost finding the place. It is in a large building filled with boutiques and specialty shops. And there has also always been a wait because many people go here. If you plan on going I recommend blocking off about 10-15 more minutes than you normally would for a threading session to account for finding the place and waiting. Security up front is helpful in location, but the last time I was there security could not be found. Also I don't want to have to ask the same few people every time I visit, kind of embarrassing. read more

Love this place they consistently give me a great eyebrow threading experience. I would recommend them anytime!

I haven't been happy with my eyebrows in so long! I haven't stayed at one place because I usually do my eyebrows at 2 different locations. Today I decided to stop by this location because the other place I go to is outside of Boston. So glad I came here! My eyebrows were left thick just like I asked and they look great overall. I got them done by Kamala (sorry for any misspelling) and she gave me a card where I can collect stamps and get free eyebrow threading after 10 visits. So happy with today's outcome! read more

I hate getting my eyebrows threaded because I feel like it's such a long process compared to waxing, but I will say that I thoroughly enjoy the services at Boston Threading. If you're not a regular, it may be a bit difficult to find this location (but it's so conveniently located at the Downtown T Stop). The business is quite small and there's usually always a line. I love that you see all types of women coming in for threading services. Akriti is amazing, but she is also in popular demand -- so I just want to say that it's OKAY to not have her be your regular, the other aestheticians are equally amazing, professional, and WILL do what you want, making you less hairy than when you walked in :-). I love their member rewards card, I fill those things up quick, and I really like that the women who work here don't stray from what works for them. They understand that everyone has different natural arches and eyebrow shapes and that's okay. read more

really great threading experience, supper accommodating and they've always done a great job. They just recently got rid of their stamp card though, which obviously isn't a necessity for me but they changed it to this online system with square and it just slightly elongates the checkout process. I am always down for a free threading and this definitely helps my not forget my card but honestly I'd just rather have a physical card they can just stamp instead of them having to look up my name after every time I pay. Maybe I'm just nostalgic. read more

I have never before been so confident in my eyebrows! I'll have lifelong friends suddenly look at me and say "who and where did you get your eyebrows done??" I was worried before about the pain but it was about the same as waxing. I have delicate skin (used intense acne products growing up) and it didn't bother me at all. Thank you for giving me so much more confidence! read more

I love Ranju! She's like an eyebrow life coach- she took me from overplucked/too-short brows that I had to paint on with dipbrow every day to beautiful arches that frame my face perfectly without makeup! She really cares about every client. The space is clean and efficient, the threading is quick, affordable, and always on point. These ladies really know what they're doing, I recommend that everyone go here, especially first time threaders. thanks Boston Threading! read more

I got my eyebrows threaded here the other day and the technician did a really good job! She was gentle and also personable. Would go there again. read more

Love this place. Super quick and professional. Highly recommended for anyone who threads their eyebrows.

$15 for eyebrow threading. $10 for upper lip. And on top of that, you still have to tip. Pretty pricey- maybe its because of the prime location in the financial district. This place is hard to find, its to the left of the huge CVS that is all glass. Take the elevator to the second floor and you will be able to find the place. Take note of the unit number so that you can find the place. I like the way my eyebrows were done- the lady was good and told me what she was doing and what kind of shape she was trying to achieve. Only thing I didn't like was the way I wasn't allowed to use both yelp deals. There is one where you get a discount for checking in, and another one where you can buy a Yelp deal online. Also, if you use a Yelp deal, they will not stamp your loyalty card. Therefore, 3 stars. Also, I keep leaving my royalty cards at home. If you have multiple loyalty cards, they will not combine them. read more

Petite salon on the second floor of a building on Washington St, tucked behind a corner. I was in and out in 15 minutes, my eyebrows looking sleek. What else can you ask for? Take advantage of the Yelp first time deal if you haven't already. read more

I was a first time customer. Boston Threading did fantastic work on my eyebrows. I made it there literally ten minutes before closing and they courteously still took me. I don't remember the threader's name but she had a light touch and I didn't experience any pain and she perfectly cleaned and shaped my brows. I used the check in offer on yelp for $2 off with no problem! I will definitely be back to get my eyebrows done again read more

Ask for Ranju! She is the owner and is amazing. Unfortunately, only once one of the other girls threaded my eyebrows and it was noticeably thin and uneven. Ever since I stuck with Ranju but I'm sure the other girls are just as great and that one time was an anomaly. Ranju remembers everything about each of her clients and asks questions about how so and so is going. She is a genuinely, sweet, down to earth person. She works Thursday's and Friday's at the downtown location and Tuesday's and Sunday's at the Brighton location. The downtown location is in the diamond location. Basically look for the gold clock outside. I go straight through the double doors, past security, up one flight of stairs, go all the way down to the right and on the left hand side is her store. I was told only thread the hair you want to grow back because you're essentially cutting it. So I don't think you should thread your upper lip, chin, etc. that should be waxed since your pulling up the root. I just thread my eyebrows here and they've never been more even and full; and I'm OCD and very particular. I come here every two weeks, I pay $15 and always tip $5 because I'm supporting a female entrepreneur that is lovely. read more

Puja was wonderful. Usually pluck and it was my first time threading and puja put me at ease. She did a nice job shaping my eye brows
