This place has really bad customer service. Only 1 girl is nice. The whole experience is terrible, they really force add on services on you. Tip is forced at 25%, they bully you and don't let you choose the amount on payment screen. Below average service and Really bad customer experience. read more

Horrible Horrible Horrible. I've spent the last month growing out my eyebrows just for them to ruin them! I specifically told her that I would like them thick to just clean it up and to make them straight. These are extremely curved and crooked in the front!!!! and not to mention way too thin. Then had the nerve to raise their prices... $10 for horrible work?!?! Never again. The tail of my eyebrow isn't even straight and there is still extra hair at the ends. Never ever ever ever again. read more

they always make my brows look amazing! Tinting and threading superb ! Great value, as well.

Purchased a Groupon for threading and an eyebrow tint. I came in around 6:30 and was taken care of quickly, I just wanted to have my brows cleaned and tinted. The tint job looks amazing ! Will definitely be returning ! read more

I've spent years growing my eyebrows out and today I visited this place only to have all that hard work ruined. I've been here before and they did a good job, but today the lady completely ruined my eyebrows, she decided to make them super 90s thin without asking. I was absolutely shocked when I saw in the mirror. I look horrific and going to this place was a big mistake. I strongly recommend against getting your brows done here. I've never had such a horrible experience! read more

I usually go to a place in chelsea to do my brows and no matter who does my eyebrows they do a perfect job. For some reason - no matter who does my eyebrows here, they are wayyyy too thin after. No matter what i say to express to keep them as thick as possible. Id rather them leave too much and ask me than just take liberties with my face. read more

DO NOT COME HERE. Should have trusted the reviews. I used to go to another place for the same price but since I've moved it's further out. This place is 100% worth the commute to my old place. The lady spent less than 2 min on me and it wasn't a remotely good job at all (surprise). In fact my eyelid was bleeding when she finished. I pointed it out and she looks unconcerned. She has the balls to ask for tip. Also they have tax on top of so the price is not as advertised. read more

Heard great reviews of the threading services here from my coworkers and thought it was time to try it out, especially since I haven't touched my eyebrows in six months! Went in on a drizzling Thursday afternoon and was seated in a heartbeat with no appointment! I quickly explained what I wanted before she started. She didn't ask and I wanted to make sure she wouldn't give me thin eyebrows! Anu was quick and precise! No cuts, tears, or pinches. She was done in 10 minutes. Surprisingly quick with the furry caterpillars I went in with! I LOVED the results, thick and shapely! They also have a punch card so you can get your 10th eyebrow threading FREE! Never going anywhere else! P.S. I never carry cash and told before she swiped my card the tip amount. P.P.S $10 for eyebrow threading! read more

Great, quick, cheap, friendly service, who could ask for more? Came in on a Friday afternoon w/ no appointment and was more than accommodated. Really great place. read more

I initially came in for my brows and I showed the woman a picture of what I wanted and she did an amazing job!! After two more times of that, I came in for a Brazilian wax for $30 (my first wax) and while the attendant couldn't necessarily communicate in English she did her best to constantly check on me and make sure I was feeling okay throughout the wax. (The wax was painful but I expected it to be) and she was very sweet! read more

Decent service, advertises itself as a bargain and that reflects what you get. (Though I've had better service with lower prices elsewhere). I came in for a brazilian wax ($35) and was able to have someone help me right away. The technician was nice but clearly didn't spend time to listen to what I wanted and I ended up with a different style than I typically get. She also didn't care for my comfort and got visibly annoyed at me when she had to repeat directions more than once. At the end of the session, I was sore and my skin was very inflamed and bleeding. I think I'll skip this salon next time until they work a little more on their technique. read more

The best place to do your eyebrows... I've been going there for years...I dont wax if my life depended on it...

Never want to go here but unfortunately it's the closest place to my work. Customer service is a miss. I gave this place many chances but each time I am less than satisfied. I guess it depends on the day you go but nope always their customer service lacks compared to other places where I've been loyal to. I will now travel further to pinkys or perfect look threading salon in midtown due to their kinder service. Too bad there's no pinkys or perfect look threading salon in upper west side! Id rather pay $7 (they charge $8) with kinder people who do my brows. Letting strangers and trusting them to touch your brows is not easy. I Did their eyebrows twice before and they did a quick job. seems like they aren't interested in what you really want. And don't bother to really ask...I rarely like to give poor reviews on yelp but honestly I'm disappointed. Last time I'm coming back read more

UPDATE: DO NOT GO TO THIS THREADING SALON!!!! They severely botched my brows and did NOTHING to fix it. One of them is strongly arched and the other is nearly straight!!!!! They still made me pay for it and claimed my eyebrows were uneven before I came in. NOT TRUE!!!! They shouldn't be allowed to go near a person's face ever again. read more

City Brows - Do not go here! They completely botched my eyebrows!!!! - Skin Care Near Me - New York, New York

This is the place that made me write my first Yelp review just so I could warn everyone else. I paid a visit to City Brows after noticing the 4-stars it had on Yelp. What I should have done was investigate some of the reviews. The 1 and 2-star reviews are a lot more accurate. This place butchered by eyebrows. I even pointed it out, and asked them to touch up the parts that weren't quite done right. The lady acted like it was a perfect job, and there was nothing else to be done. Now, I have to go somewhere else to get this fixed. read more

Threading is pretty straightforward, and this was no different. Got the job done, and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. I did have to do a very little bit of cleanup when I got home...just a couple of hairs that hadn't been snagged around my eyebrows. At my old waxing place, they were always good about going through with tweezers and grabbing those kinds of stragglers, but I feel like threading is usually a little less involved that way, and that's fine. For the price, I'm fine having to do a little cleanup work. The one thing that kind of annoyed me is that I was wearing lipstick, and they didn't remind me that I probably should take it off before they did the upper lip. So I walked out of there kind of looking like a clown with lipstick all over my face. Again, easily fixable, but also if I had just been reminded, I would have wiped it off before she even started. But I mean, that's just as much my fault for not remembering to take it off before I walked in. Overall, my brows looked nice and clean when I walked out. Nice shaping (although I keep my brows shaped pretty well on my own), and very painless, which is why I prefer threading to waxing in the first place. As other reviewers have mentioned, this is a very no-frills place....seat definitely had some tape on it hiding a hole or two, and there was nowhere to put a purse, hang a coat, etc. But you can't argue with the price, and when you're in there for less than 10 minutes, ambiance is not the biggest deal. read more

I love this place and I am so glad I found it! I'm jersey and have been getting my eyebrows THREADED since I was 13. For some women it's your hair, bag, shoes, makeup... Eyebrows are very important for me. When I first moved into the city I would go to jersey for eye-brow trips...one day I decided to try a new place- 3 blocks up from old apt was this place and I've never gone back to jersey for a brow-trip since. Today I got it done by Simi- she's great. But honestly, the times it hasn't been her, they were done perfectly fine. From old (very old) experience, thin and thick sound the same... so make you finish the work thiN... thiCK before they start working on you... could make a world of difference! read more

Fast, efficient and courteous eyebrow threading at a very reasonable price (especially for the Upper West Side) is exactly what you can expect at City Brows. I didn't avail myself of any of their other services but, they all seemed similarly priced and I would assume run the same quality. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. I am very happy with the result and the process. read more

She did her job but proceeded to over tip herself by more than 40 percent... I couldn't really understand her english. I get that you need the money but don't cheat your customers. *credit card used in this situation* When you want to tip just bring in your own cash. read more

I've walked by this place hundreds of times but never went in because I couldn't find any reviews on it. Enter brave Yelpers Emily and Fraidy (Thanks, ladies!) I needed a brow clean-up but didn't feel like going all the way down to my regular place in Chelsea, and this place finally had some good reviews. I walked in on a rainy Saturday afternoon, and there were 3 people in line of me already with 2 in the chairs. I think they normally have more staff since there are 4 chairs + waxing/facial area in the back, but there were only 2 when I visited. The wait wasn't too bad although no one really greeted me when I walked in. I'd rate this eyebrow threading as maybe the 2nd most painless I've ever had. She knew what she was doing, didn't try to mess with what I already had, and did a basically satisfactory job. The other woman seemed to be a bit more friendly/chatty, but maybe those were regulars, I couldn't tell. Overall, I've got nothing to complain about but nothing to rave about either--I like this place because it's 2 blocks away from my apartment, but there's also loose thread all over the floor. Good enough for being nearby, but I wouldn't make the trek otherwise. read more

One of the things, women forget to do when they're "stressed,"-- is that they stop taking care of themselves. I, for one, can attest, that when things are going and I have a bunch of stuff to do on my plate, the last thing I'm focused on is worrying about how my eyebrows look. As long as I don't look like Bert from Sesame Street, it's all good in the hood. Well, I realized one morning, "dang girl, you gotta get your eyebrows did...looking a little rough." So, instead of tweezing, I decided to "treat myself," and walked down a couple of blocks from my place, plopped down at City Brows and had them thread my eyebrows. I prefer threading over waxing because 1) it doesn't leave your skin all red and 2) you're not pulling apart skin-- less wrinkles, ladies! After a couple of minutes-- done. The cost: $8. And you feel so much better! Totally worth it. :) read more

My arms look so smooth and hairless! I had to do some up close arm shots for a job. I figured I could get rid of the fur. The results I can say are good. I like that for waxing they don't double dip. Though the wax comes out of a roller, and I don't know exactly how much more sanitary that is since they seem to reuse those, too. It just went back to little "heating station" with the others. If they do reuse them, I'm sure some of the wax rolls right back into the container, right? Then the next person gets some of that wax. I don't really care, but thought it might be of some interest to some people. The technician could have been a little more friendly. My biggest annoyance was that not all of the wax was wiped off so while I was walking back home, my arm would get stuck to my purse and shirt, leaving sticky residue everywhere. I wish she had been more thorough in getting rid of the excess wax. read more

I will never go anywhere else for brows again. Wow, these ladies seriously know what they're doing!! I have been in serious need of brow reshaping in preparation for my wedding in 9 months (Yes, obviously I'm neurotic!) and I was debating between trying City Brows and Boom Boom Brow Bar in the village. The deciding factor? Paying $8 vs. $20. And with 9 months to go, I figured I had some room for failure. ;) The verdict: Wow. I was beside myself with how good my brows looked! I went on some fellow Yelpers' suggestion to try the threading rather than waxing and don't regret the serious pain for a second! I mean, they looked so good that people actually complimented them without knowing I had gotten them reworked! I am converted. read more

The technicians here are very professional and informative. I came in for a quick brow clean up. The usual threading session as far as what she was doing. Hold...leave it...hold...leave it...baby oil/aloe vera? No thanks. They do a good job and have a few services. The space is nice, clean and quiet especially considering the major street. The price I guess is good for Manhattan ($8) but I am used to Queens ($3). If for some reason I can't get to Queens I would stop by here if in the area. read more

So I had my first not so great experience here a couple weeks ago. It is partly my fault for waiting so long to get my eyebrows done, but I had been on vacation on the wilderness of Maine, so I kinda just let myself go. Anyway, I had never seen the girl who did my eyebrows, I think she may be new, but her skills just weren't up to par with the other ladies. She left my brows looking like two furry caterpillars, not much better than when I walked in! They were much, MUCH thicker than I've ever had them. At first glance I didn't really notice, and the vast amount of tears in my eyes probably contributed to that fact, (Note to self: do NOT wait almost 4 weeks to get eyebrows done!) but after paying and the taking a visit to the ladies room I almost had a heart attack. There was no way in hell I was walking out onto the street looking like that! So I marched back upstairs and explained to the girl that I wasn't happy and needed to have them fixed. In actuality I would have preferred someone else fix my brows, cause I'm not sure she really knew what she was doing, but I know in cases like this, the person who messes up, needs to clean up their mess. So she did, pretty much. I still was not 100% satisfied, but I had already spent 30 minutes in the place when I'm usually in and out in 10. This instance will not prevent me from going here but it has inspired me to request the girls I know and love to work their eyebrow magic on me! read more

Fast and cheap. Not much else to say. All the ladies here are great and I usually go with the first person available. Don't forget to get there repeat customer's card! read more

I think this place is hit or miss depending on the girl you get. Some of them can be pretty rough like my skin is on fire from the pressure of the threading. But typically I do like the shape after. I do emphasize please just keep them as full as possible. I take great pride in my brows and I would be devastated if they were shaped poorly. I have had better threading but in CA. For now, this is my go to place. My face is super red for the rest of the day which doesn't happen at my other place. They aren't the friendliest in there but oh well. read more

Super fast, super clean, painful-yes, but quick! This is definitely my go to place and I like that they have a frequent card in which you can get a free eye-brow threading after 10 times. read more

This place is abysmal. I had previously gone there but stopped going because they didn't listen, went too fast, and were consistenly so unfriendly. However, when the other shop I went to in the area unfortunately closed due to increasing rents I decided to try again. BIG MISTAKE. I asked for a eyebrow cleanup and a upper lip thread. My eyebrows are way, way too thin now. They are so thin I'll have to spend months regrowing them out before my wedding next summer. The lip was way too fast and abrasive. I have at least ten pimples where they were too hard on my follicles. This is not normal! The technician was unfriendly, didn't listen, and my face is a mess. They didn't say a thing as I left the salon as they were all fixed to the TV watching a music video. It may be cheap, but I would rather spend an extra 10 minutes going uptown on the train to find a spot with better service and nicer people. Don't waste your money at this place; they don't deserve your patronage. read more

Cheap and efficient! I walked in after work and got seated in just a few minutes. These ladies are quick! Not all of them do waxing, so you might have to wait longer for that. They did a great job and at only $8 to boot! read more

Just checked this place out today. Quick service, GREAT prices ($8 for eyebrow waxing or threading). This place even has an incentive program, which is a nice bonus; buy 9 services, get a free eyebrow waxing/threading. I had to do a little bit of clean-up around the edges when I got home but nothing too time consuming. For the price, I don't think you can do better. I'll definitely be back! read more

First time getting my eyebrows done--walked in and basically babbled on and on about how nervous I was. "I just want, you know, a shape, and I don't really want a ton taken off, but I'm not even sure...what do you think? Do I need it? I don't really know." The woman who did my brows simply nodded and pointed to a chair. I don't know whether she understood me or not, but WOW! I'm a fan. Cheap. Awesome. Eyebrows will get threaded from now on. If anyone told you threading didn't hurt, they lied. But the aloe gel she applied helped. read more

The girls are always so nice, polite, and efficient. I love to get my eyebrows done here. It is the first place where I let them thread it. I would highly recommend. And they have different sites which makes it easier for me. read more

Eyebrow threading for $8 -- excellent price! Very quick, painless, conveniently located. They gave me a "frequent customer" card, so that after 9 visits, the 10th threading is free. Since I live nearby, that's a pretty solid deal. The only drawback was that the woman didn't ask me what I wanted done (shaping, just cleaning up my brows, etc.); but she defaulted to cleaning up, and if I had been worried, I could have said something. read more

SHE TIPPED HERSELF WITH MY CHANGE. I went here to get a quick clean up on my brows. First, one women sat in her chair and yelled for someone in the back to take care of me. I waited in the chair for a while. There was no "She'll be here in just a minute" or anything. When the woman was done with my brows I went to pay. Instead of giving me my change she tucked the $2 right in her pocket. SHE TIPPED HERSELF WITH MY CHANGE. I usually add on to the tip, but since she decided to take my money she can keep the $2 and lose me as a customer. read more

Great place for threading and waxing, but DO NOT GET A FACIAL HERE! For waxing and threading, they are fast, cheap and just as good as any other place I have been to. For facials, they are awful. The facial was not at all relaxing. i also walked away with a bruised on my face. read more

Very quick, very basic no frills $35 Brazilian wax done. Works if you're short on time and in a pinch. Not coming back here for this service, but maybe for brow threading. read more

I went in for an underarm waxing and decided to also give the threading a try. The waxing could have gone better. They missed a portion of hair. The threading however was great. I had never had my brows done this way and I was pleasantly surprised. My eyebrows looked great. Took no time at all and you can't beat the price. Threading Yes, Waxing Probably Not read more

Was hoping for this place to be a regular stop but was extremely disappointed. The woman doing my brows seemed nice--she was patient and listened when I told her I just wanted my brows cleaned up and even showed her a picture of what I was looking for (I had been growing out my brows for months and wanted to keep them thick). She nodded like she understood, and when she was done and I looked in the mirror, I was horrified. She probably took away about half of each eyebrow, in terms of volume. They are now so thin I have to go and buy makeup to fill them in and now wait months for them to grow back. I was furious. When I asked her why she would do that when I explicity told her I just wanted a light clean up AND showed her a picture--I even said before she started that I do NOT like them thin and like to keep them thick--she said that my eyebrows (after they were done) were thick "for her." It doesn't matter what they are for her, it's about what her customer wants. Do yourself a favor and do not go here if you're trying to keep your eyebrows thick--these people will ruin them. read more

Horrible place. It is dirty and the staff is rude. I had eye lash extensions put on for the first time and the woman said it wouldn't impact my real lashes. She did an uneven job and fixed it at my request. After a few days the glue they used started to clump up. When I went to get them removed the woman didn't get all the lashes off and I still have some glue on my own lashes. My eyes were burning so much I had to walk over to the sink and douse them with water myself. In addition, my real lashes look horrible and they blamed me and each other. I was going to get a bikini was there too, but took one step into the room and it was so dirty (with icky hair on top of the wax container) I decided not to. Both times I was there they were warming up food and eating and the whole place smelled like food. Plus, they left their dish on the table in the waxing room which is so unsanitary. DO NOT GO HERE! I've been looking online to find a corporate or manager email to alert them but can't find it. Frankly, I doubt they care. read more
