I never returned after trying to solve an issue with my hair breaking off. Every time I would go in…read moreto get my full legs, Brazilian, face and under arms done, I noticed there was regrowth in just a few days instead of the two weeks I'm used to being here free when sugared correctly. This is understandable after a first time pull, it takes one or two sessions to get in rhythm, but two times after that is not OK. I said something to my sugaring technician, and came up with a solution, that they carry a softer paste. Loose paste reduces breakage. I called a few times after that to see if they had made any changes, I heard nothing back, I never rebooked again.

Went for my first treatment with Tora and have to say that both she, and the salon, surpassed my…read moreexpectations. The place is beautiful, spotless and cozy without being sterile like most other waxing salons. Tora took her time to explain the process, offer suggestions and listened to/answered all my questions.

I did my legs here which was fine but if I wanted to do something that requires more precision and care like Brazilian I wouldn't book this place. At the end, all of the wax and powder wasn't removed properly and there was wax on the paper by my feet which ended up getting on me while I was getting up. The nail salon looked nice and I will probably sugar my legs here in the future because it's cheaper and this place feels very natural but I wouldn't recommend a Brazilian.

I could not be happier! I'll be going back every other week !

Second time at a Shobha. The first time was last year for the Yelp Elite event in midtown East when…read moreI had a sugar bikini wax. It was a last minute decision to come after getting a few text messages about 15 percent off service. The SoHo location is closer to me. It's on the fourth floor of an office building so not as stand alone and not as nice as the midtown office. Without an appointment I was able to get my wax within seconds of arrival. The front desk woman was really friendly. There were other ppl there getting their eyebrows threaded. The sugar wax went ok. It just wasn't as great as the service as my first time at the midtown East location. It was obviously asymmetric so I had to ask for it to be fixed. So seemed a little less thoughtful/careful than my first time.

Hands down the best massage I've ever had. "Why?" you ask…read more Buckle up. I ran in FLUSTERED. I was running late from work. Lukkana greeted me and told me to catch my breath. She set me up with some calming tea and brought me to a private changing area with a locker for my belongings. Everyone in the vicinity checked in to make sure I was doing ok. I was worried that because I had arrived late, I would eat up some of my massage time. No siree! They moved my massage to start when I was ready to begin. I booked the 90 minute Nuansa classic massage. You know how some places start the clock before you've sat down and finish the massage early (aka you pay for an hour and it's only about 45 minutes)? Well! That's not the case here! I got all 90 minutes of my massage. The massage itself: not to be believed. Lukkana started by saying "time to relax". And boy did I. Let me tell you one thing about me - I have the most ticklish legs of anyone I've ever met. Usually, when I have my legs massaged, I kick a hole in the wall and the masseuse files for a lawsuit (this is an exaggeration). Well! Somehow, Lukkana was able to work the muscles in my leg without triggering my dainty ticklish reflexes. I was astonished! Then, you know how sometimes you ask for a firm touch and you get jelly hands? Or the other way around and you're walking out with bruises? WELL - Lukkana made me feel immensely relaxed WHILE ALSO really working the tissue. What a novelty. She finished up with a scalp massage, which is truly the way to my heart. 11 out of 10. Would recommend. Thank you so much for making my day.
