Best eyebrow threading I've had in a looooooong time and the establishment lives up to its name. I'm a long time eyebrow threader and prefer it over waxing and plucking. Rema has a very deft and gentle hand. If you're new to threading you should try her out. If you're an old hand like me you should try her out. My brows look phenomenal. Clean salon, small business owner, warm and engaging woman. Highly recommend. Earns these 5 stars easily. Judge for yourself: read more

Gentle Eyebrow Threading - Taken day before threading - Threading Services Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

See all

Rema is the sweetest and most talented threader!!! $22 seems a bit pricey for brows, but I promise you that she is worth it. Her energy and kindness is infectious, and I always come out smiling. She is all about THICK/ NATURAL looking brows and she really takes her time to ensure that your brows are looking PERFECT. I've never had a time booking appointments with her, she responds very quickly and can usually have me by the next day. It's conveniently located in Cleveland Circle (perfect location for a BC student like me), but I know there's also parking available in the back. read more

If you want someone to take the time to make you look beautiful YOU MUST SEE REMA. SHE IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!! read more

Rema did an amazing job threading and shaping my brows! She left them thick and natural looking per my request. Thank you Rema!

You want to know why Rema is awesome? She just is. Her personality is fantastic and she has serious skills when it comes to threading. I've been getting my eyebrows threaded for years now (after a bad waxing incident left me burned with a tiny scar) and originally I got threaded at Pyara Aveda by this lovely Indian woman who introduced me to the concept and whose name I'm totally blanking on. She left Aveda and I've been looking for ages for someone to compare. I think as threading as gained in popularity, more places are getting their aestheticians trained in it, but they don't specialize in it. Rema specializes in it. The first two things she asked me when I came in were if I knew what threading entailed and then asked me if I was allergic to aloe vera. NO ONE ever asks me that. I always have to tell them not to apply any salves on me since most contain alcohol which makes my skin flare up like mad. The fact she was awesome enough to ask me my allergies before doing anything is A++++++++++ in my book. She's fantastic. She remembers your name, she's sweet as punch, she's super proficient at what she does, she runs a clean and tight ship. I am totally sold. read more

Rema does phenomenal work! So why only 1 star? Well... I saw her only once - last August - and she did a great job with my brows. I previously always had them waxed until they were made uneven at my last waxing. Rema was informative about threading and gentle. She asked for my opinions and gave hers. I went with her advice. I asked her if she would mind doing my upper lip also. She happily said yes. We had agreed that I should let my brows grow in for a couple months to start anew. I tried scheduling an appointment with her in December and was told that I am "too picky" and take too long. My mind was BLOWN! Picky?? She asked questions and I answered them. I also followed her suggestions! I don't understand how that is being picky. I've called and left a few messages in the 6 months since to see if she will see me and I do not get called back. I guess my business is not wanted. It would have been nice if I was told about my "pickiness" at the time of my appointment. Her husband is quite rude on top of everything. All scheduling is done though him. You leave a message and if he feels like it he calls you back. It IS pricey but Rema's quality warrants the price, if I'm being completely honest. My biggest complaint is poor business practice. Very poor. read more

The first time I tried going to this place, I was walking on the TJ Maxx Side of Harvard St. and was looking for 524 Harvard St. only to find myself walking all the way to Coolidge Corner. Luckily, I'm a persistent little one and tried a second time. It's in a very obscure apartment area which is exactly across the street from TJ Maxx. Rema is amazingly clean and I'm pretty sure she washed her hands at least once and then hand sanitized them before even touching my brows. Oh and did I mention she's really sweet? There wasn't a moment where I felt uncomfortable in the process and because she's telling you what she's doing or going to do you feel a bit at ease, especially since it was my first time. She does an initial threading and asks if you want it thinner in case you're super afraid of having it too thin. She leaves a good amount of brow on the initial run but will only continue if you feel comfortable. The process took less than 15 minutes with no wait on a Friday night and it was pretty painless. She charges $18 for eyebrows not including tip and I think for the job she does she should be tipped well. :) read more

Not only does Rema do a fantastic job, but she creates a warm, trusting environment for her clients! She is very responsive and accommodating. Can't recommend Gentle Eyebrow Threading enough! read more

Rema is incredible. While the cost is a bit more than I'm used to, it is worth every. single. penny. I've been getting my eyebrows threaded for years and have never had them look so good. She starts out asking what kind of eyebrows you like. I told her I like a dramatic but natural looking arch and she did some sort of wizardry to lift my arch like it's never been lifted before. She also got them to look the most symmetrical they've ever looked. At the end she showed me an area she would like me to grow out to perfect the arch even more. I've never had someone take so much time to discuss my brows! While the process took longer than I'm used to, she is extremely thorough and meticulous - she trimmed at least 3 times (I'm used to just once!). She also has such a great way about her - she's so cheerful and friendly and just awesome to be around. Five stars all the way! read more

OK, so first I gave this place just a weak 1 star because I think it is totally sketch and annoying that to make an appointment you need to first leave a message & then get a call back (what if you say, have a job, how are you supposed to answer the phone all the time??). Well I did schedule for today at 11:45am and was VERY PLEASED. The husband was very nice on the phone and when I could not find the place (I parked about a ten minute walk away) he was great and gave me excellent directions. He let me know right away I'd be seen in a few minutes and there was a wide selection of cheap magazines, too! Rema is GREAT. Very very quick, friendly, upbeat, and complimentary of my eyebrows (in the past done monthly in San Francisco by an Indian woman). Rema is from Jordan so appreciates Middle Eastern hairy eye brows and the beauty of keeping eye brows THICK not so thin. She cleaned then up, shaped them a little bit, and for 18 dollars I was on my way. She hardly even thought I'd tip which was odd (don't worry, I did). And I'd suggest making your appointment for 1 month out when you leave so that you don't need to do the whole call call, wait for a call back thing. Lastly, as for parking -- the appointment takes 10 minutes all in all so I'd say save your quarters on metered parking and go for the Stop and Shop Parking Lot. If you are super paranoid, buy something like a Diet Coke at the Stop and Shop and then be on your way. THANK YOU, REMA! Will come back in the future... read more

Rema was so busy that I had to book an appt, but I was able to get in on the same day, so it worked out. Rema is such a friendly person with that beautiful, jolly voice that you can't help but to love her! She tells you step by step what she is doing and is very thorough! She is a little pricey: $20 eyebrows, $12 lip, plus a tip so it's closer to $40. Overall, a great place, highly recommended! read more

Rema is absolutely amazing. I've been battling my eyebrows for years and spent the last 6 months using a salon that only tweezes because I had heard it was better for shaping thicker brows. I was so unhappy with how they were looking I decided to risk trying threading again. After reading the reviews, I had a great feeling about Rema. She made them look absolutely incredible! She really listened to what I wanted and talked me through exactly what she was doing. The shape is amazing and I've gotten so many compliments. Note: The place may seem like it's a little sketchy, but it's not AT ALL. Once you find the blue house, go to the right side toward the back (you'll pass a pre-school/daycare) and enter the back door. Once you go downstairs you will see her door at the end of the hall and you'll have to ring the doorbell. Feels a little weird, but it really isn't. I am so happy I found her! Heading back this weekend! read more

Gentle Eyebrow Threading - Before/After - Amazing! - Threading Services Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I'll start this review off with honesty. Gentle Eyebrow Threading charges $20 for eyebrows which is a bit much. That being said we are in Boston, MA not New York or New Jersey where fantastic threaders line the streets to give you your best brow for under $10. AND Rhema will give you your BEST brow. In this city of overpriced everything a visit to Gental Eyebrow Threading is worth every single penny. This woman is a "threading goddess" working amongst a sea of pretenders and therefore she gets to price her work accordingly. She takes into account the shape of your face, eyes and the condition of your brows. She also suggests waiting to grow them out to help attain the best shape for you if necessary--which means less money for her. She actually cares about her customer. Beyond brows Rhema is also one of the most positive individuals I've met thus far. Women leave her shop glowing and confident and not just because of their well defined brows. A trip to her shop could easily replace your therapy session for the week. She's all compliments and present day awesomeness without the trip down memory lane. If it's not obvious by now I appreciate her talent and professionalism and adore her pep talks. You? Go. Brows. Now. Then come back and write your own review! read more

Best, best, best threading job I've ever had. And the customer service provided by Rema was exceptional. I was in town on a business trip in May; I was pressed for time and my eyebrows were in dire need of some TLC. Rema returned my call in a timely fashion and she managed to squeeze me in after hearing my availability. I was received warmly, and instantly felt at ease having my eyebrows handled by a "new" threader. Considering her tight schedule and still managing to squeeze me in, she took her time. Sure the price was a little more than what I am accustomed paying but it was absolutely worth it!! My eyebrows have never looked so good!! I received plenty of compliments. I look forward to my next Boston visit because I will def swing by to see Rem!!! read more

Rema is great, truly friendly, professional and kind. She has a great upbeat spirit and has an honest opinion of how to do your eyebrows. My advice is make an appointment at least a week in advanced. She does book quickly and the person who books the appointment is professional and courteous over the phone. $20 is a bit more expensive then what I would usually see for eyebrow threading. But I have been to many places and am very picky due to bad experiences of having my eye brows messed up in the past. I trust her. The place was easy for me to find. The place is located in the back of a blue building. If you walk on the right side of the building and towards the back, right next a pre-school/day care, you will see a door that leads you down the stairs. Just follow the signs and you are there. No need to knock. As long as they have your name, they will call you in. Unfortunately I had to move back to California, but if I am ever back in Boston and need my eyebrows done, I am going to her. read more

4.5 with a deduction only bc of the price. Other than that, Rema is kind, gentle, and methodical. She does an amazing job. By the time she handed me the mirror, I could not give any feedback as to what to do differently. I have always had to ask for the "fuzz" on the outer edge of my brows to be removed but not with Rema. She already knew. The place isn't set up like a gorgeous spa, but the chair is leather and reclines. She's worth the trip out from downtown Boston. You just won't be disappointed. read more

Gentle Eyebrow Threading - Threading Services Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Rema is not only talented but extremely bubbly and friendly! I have had my eyebrows threaded for 6+ years now and when I moved to Boston I was unable to find a single person that threaded and ended up getting my eyebrows waxed for the past 8 months. Never truly satisfied with my results I searched Yelp and with the help of Yelp reviewers I stumbled across the rave reviews for Rema and gave her a try, let's just say I will go to no one else but her from now on! Her studio is clean and professional, located near the Stop N' Shop gas station (enter through the back door) and she and her husband are the sweetest! She makes threading a relaxing experience! The cost is a bit pricey though, $18 for eyebrows, but after many harrowing waxing encounters, its a price I'm willing to pay. read more

One Gary (sheGary) gets her big, furry unibrow threaded while the other Gary (heGary) watches in amazement. And sheGary is beautiful again. Rema is amazing. Do not wax. Thread. read more

Oh I know other reviewers have said how wonderful Rema is, I just want to have my chance to reiterate it. Rema is absolutely wonderful! I moved to MA this year and have been looking for a place to get my eyebrows threaded for quite a while. I read about Rema on Yelp, and seeing the rave reviews, decided to give her a try. Rema is exactly what they say and much more! She is so warm and engaging! And knows exactly what to do when it comes to threading! I am very picky when it comes to my brows so I was thoroughly impressed when I saw how they turned out! She is now my eyebrow threader for life! lol ( or as long as I remain in the Boston area :-) Thumbs up for Rema! read more

The first time I walked in to Rema's (without an appointment mind you!), it was pouring rain and incredibly gloomy. When I left, the skies cleared, the sun was shining, and angels were singing. I attribute this solely to Rema's threading prowess. The woman is a genius. I have crazy thick, unruly eyebrows, even by Indian-girl standards. Usually, when I get my eyebrows done anywhere else (waxed or threaded) I always feel silently (and sometimes not so silently!) judged by salon employees. Sorry I have big-foot eyebrows, but I'm paying you to make them look presentable. Rema IMMEDIATELY complemented me on how thick my eyebrows are, told me that she could tell the natural shape of my brows was beautiful, and that she would help to define the shape. She's very bubbly and very personable. Right away she started a lovely conversation with me. Rema and her husband own the salon, and they have a lot of Indian and Middle Eastern girls come in regularly--so they definitely know how to tame even the most unruly brows. The couple is from Jordan originally, and Rema has been doing eyebrows since she was 14 years old. To make a long story short, I walked in with big-foot brows that hadn't been done in over two months (because I didn't have time,) and I walked out with stunning brows that even Kim Kardashian would be jealous of. The down side to Rema's salon is that it's hidden in Coolidge and by most threading standards, her prices ($18-20 + tip) are a bit high. But I'm telling you all to suck it up and go get your eyebrows done by Rema. She is truly gentle, friendly, and really listens to you. You start off with a consultation, and then she gets to work. She takes her time and is very respectful, and will constantly check to make sure you are okay and like the direction she is taking your brows. It's a bit hard to find---you have to go around the back entrance to 129 Harvard Street (which is a blue residential looking building that contains various small businesses) and down the stairs! But sooooo worth it. read more

When I was subjected to the hell of taking the T to work every day, I used to get my brows threaded at a little place in Harvard Square. Now that I live in Brighton and drive in, I needed to find a move convenient location. I read about Rema on Yelp and decided to give her a try since she's so close. She was friendly and energetic and asked how I liked my brows before starting in. She cleaned up my too-long neglected mess and once again gave me the brows of a hollywood starlet. A little aloe to take care of any redness and I was out the door before I knew it. Two thumbs and two eyebrows up! read more

A friend took me here recently and I am officially a convert to threading! Rema is super friendly and puts you at ease immediately. Given that I was new to threading, she walked me through everything she was doing. It was very calming to have her briefly explain what she is doing as she was shaping my eyebrows. We came in without an appointment, but luckily someone else had just canceled before we arrived. I would have never found this place without my friend! So follow the advice of others and head to the back of the house. There are signs from there that are easy to follow. This is probably the best shape that my eyebrows have ever been in, so it was totally worth the $18 price tag! read more

I had my eyebrows threaded for the first time by Rema and I can't say enough good things about her. Not only did she do a great job shaping my brows, but she was probably one of the friendliest people I've ever met! Her location is just a small room in a real estate place, but its clean and it gets the job done. I'm done with waxing. Rema and threading are my eyebrows new friends! read more

Looking back, I should've called to make an appointment with Rema, but I decided to take a chance when her husband said he would be available to work on me. I was in a time crunch as it was right before I was leaving for spring break vacation & I thought that surely her husband would have the same magical powers Rema possesses! I fully agree with stephanie c.'s review on the husband. I was unsatisfied with the end result -- especially since I stressed that I would like to keep the thickness of my brows (I look terrible with thin brows). He spent more time trimming than threading & there were still sparse hairs. He even suggested that I look into coconut oil for faster regrowth. Wait, what? Why would he even say such a thing? Because he knew he had messed up & I did not look pleased. I only go to Rema's place to do my eyebrows to begin with, but now I have to stress that you should only get Rema herself to work on you! read more

Rema is fantastic! I've been going to her on and off for a few years. It is pricier than the mall-kiosk threaders but she consistently delivers great results. I've never been "cut" here (when the thread pinches your skin and slices your skin). As others mentioned, the place is a little "hidden". There is a door towards the back, right-side. I have had to wait a few minutes even when I come on time to my appointments but I think that is normal for threading. I appreciate that Rema takes her time with each client and isn't finished until her client is satisfied. read more

Rema is so talented and thorough. I love the way my eyebrows look!! Location is on third floor of the building and she accepts CC!

What can I say about Rema that hasn't already been said, except that she deserves another big fat five star rating? This woman is an eyebrow genius and is amazingly sunny and friendly. She spent a lot of time showing me how to do my own upkeep, which I thought was really sweet of her. Usually I think it's strange to tip when someone is in business for themselves (rather than part of a larger salon), but I found myself compelled to because I was in such a good mood after the appointment. I definitely wouldn't have been able to find the place if it hadn't been for Yelp, so pay attention to the other reviews. Go around back and downstairs. read more

First time customer and very please. Reema was able to fit me in within an hour's notice. She is very friendly and likeable. She will give you her honest opinion but do what you ask. My eyebrows look great! and I will be back. read more

I've been loyal to Rema for about a year now--she knows brows like nobody else and is about as sweet as apple pie! However, like many here have mentioned, her husband is another story altogether. So when you make an appt, BE SURE to confirm it's Rema who will be working on you. Her husband, Abraham, seems to be more actively involved with her business nowadays, managing phones, payment, and taking some clients. I guess it's tough being compared to Rema, but he definitely doesn't seem to have the accommodating nature she does, or the threading skills. I was a bit late for my appt, bc of work and the dreaded ancient draconian wagon that is the green line, and I felt like I was in an episode of Seinfeld--the soup episode, you know--THAT one. "No soup for you!" Except, "No pretty arch for you!" I was hoping they could squeeze me in, since I just needed a quick touch up (which I knew would take 5 min or less), and Rema was kind enough to take me. For some reason, I kind of preferred when Rema was on her own--made for a much more seamless, guilt-free experience... read more

I am very nervous when it comes to letting someone thread my eyebrows. I mean, it is a major part of my face, but after reading the Yelp reviews for Rema, I felt confident that she would do well, and I am glad I went! Rema is very sweet and talkative and she asks for your input on how you would like your eyebrows to look. She is very cautious and makes sure that your eyebrows are even. It was a bit pricier than what I would prefer to pay, but she did an excellent job. As many people have said before, you do have to go through the back door, but there are signs from there that point you in the right direction. read more

Just need to add my love of Rema and her skills! I started going to her a couple of years ago after getting fed up with how painful waxing was (and how much it made my brow break out), and I will never get waxed again. She truly is gentle, taking her time to carefully sculpt your brows to perfection. She asks before putting aloe on you, which I appreciate, and if you're new to threading she thoroughly explains the experience. She is very cheerful and chatty, which makes it a very pleasant experience. People always comment on how beautiful my brows are and I owe it to Rema! I've also had her work on my fluffy chin and she did a great job, getting every last hair. Her space is clean, bright, and comfortable. She takes walk-ins but I suggest calling to make an appointment to be sure she will be there (she was recently away on vacation, which I wouldn't have known if I hadn't called first and heard her message). Her husband usually answers the phone. He's very pleasant and always makes sure to ask if you want Rema to do your brows (he also does some threading there) and reminds you about her payment methods (I believe she only takes credit cards if your bill comes to a certain amount, over $25 maybe, and cash tips only). Her prices seem a bit high compared to some other threading places I've seen, but I'm happy to pay them because she does an excellent job and I like knowing that I'm supporting her small business. I had my brows threaded somewhere else once and even though it was cheaper and closer to my home, it was more uncomfortable and they didn't do as thorough of a job. I'm willing to travel and pay more to Rema because she is simply the best there is! read more

Rema is great! I have been going to Salon Luiz on Newbury Street to get my eyebrows done (which is $25 + tip). I found Rema a much better artist. Although $20 is still a lot, I think it is worth it. There aren't a lot of places in Boston to get your eyebrows done nicely. At least for me. I have very thick eyebrows and so they don't look good if done the wrong way. But Rema was fantastic. Her personality is bubbly and amazing as well so it makes you happy to see her! I've also noticed that the way she threads doesn't hurt as much as the other woman I got it done from. read more

Rema is amazing. She is the only person I trust with my eyebrows. I have sent many people her way and they are always very happy. Her upbeat personality and humor are just the icing on the cake! read more

To begin: I do like Rema and she did a very thorough job on my lip and chin (have yet to try the eyebrows). She is funny, positive, and high-energy. The threading was quick and efficient. I won't lie: it still hurt, but seriously, there's no way lip threading is ever going to be painless and this was pretty damn good for pain levels. The only reason I'm taking off stars (and this would be 3.5 if i could have done halfsies) is because the price is high (at least for lip/chin) and for someone who has a go-to salon in NYC, it was pretty shocking to see that it actually cost more to have my lip/chin threaded here (a bare bones office within a real estate agency) than in a fairly fancy salon in Columbus Circle, NYC. However, service is indeed fantastic and the place is accessible by the 66 bus. There aren't many places in boston where you can get threading done anyway, so this is a good place to come. read more

I found Rema about two years ago after doing some research on eyebrow threading. Before moving to the Boston area I waxed my eyebrows with the same woman for over seven years. Rema remembers your name and your eyebrows. She is very aware that I prefer thick eyebrows and will ask for my opinion before threading certain areas away. It is never difficult to make an appointment just give them a call and leave a voicemail. They will always return your voicemail so that you may make an appointment. I highly recommend seeing Rema if you are looking for eyebrow threading. read more

I decided to try Gentle Eyebrow Threading today because of all the awesome reviews. Since the hours start at 11:00 am, I decided to arrive around 11:25 to leave a little room. However, I arrived to find an empty office with a sign saying "will return at 11:30". Not too bad I thought- I didn't mind waiting a little while since I came all the way out there. 11:45 rolled around, then 12:00, and I finally decided enough was enough and I had to run to catch my bus. So now I'm down 2 bus fares and a whole wasted morning. And I still need to find time to get my eyebrows threaded. I am very disappointed. What an unprofessional way to run a business. read more

I usually do my own brows, but every once in a while I need a little cleanup. I tend to prefer threading to waxing, so I decided to give Rema a try since she had great reviews on here. I was not disappointed. Rema is very sweet and personable. She charges $18, which is around the going rate, and I have to say she really is very gentle. It was quick and virtually painless. There was no redness or irritation of any sort, so great if you have sensitive skin. She followed my natural shape and did a good job of not making my brows too thin like I had asked. I definitely recommend Rema for threading in the Boston area. read more

Fabulous service! Friendly and gentle, made me feel comfortable the entire time and I am so happy with the results. My eyebrows are better than they've ever been, and I can't believe I've lived in Boston for 3 years and just discovered this place. read more

Rema is the absolute best!! Like so many others, I am very particular about my eyebrows and she has delivered every single time. She doesn't take off too much, and knows how to perfectly shape each brow. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews about her customer service. I have found both Rema and her husband to be overwhelmingly courteous and friendly. Yes, you have to call ahead to make an appointment but I find this to be standard with most quality beauty services. While the price is kind of steep, and paying cash (for eyebrows only) can be inconvenient, I feel it is worth every penny. Go to Rema, you won't be disappointed! read more

I love Rema. She's SO friendly and fun to talk to. She also makes my eyebrows look perfect. It's definitely worth the price/trek on the green line. read more
