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. From the receptionist, to the other clients I chatted with and the actual service I rate this place as excellent. I will be back in the upcoming weeks for follow up treatments

More of a nail salon than a waxing spot but they did a pretty good job. The sugaring room was…read moreincredibly small. 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.

Katie was my nail technician who did a great job with my cuticles and covering every millimeter of nail with polish. I loved how detail oriented she was. The salon also didn't look or smell like a typical nail salon. It was super cozy with warm lighting, wood accents and a great smelling candle burning. CJ was also very lovely and helpful. She assisted me with choosing between two colors since I had a hard time deciding. I would recommend!

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.

Such as... * Text communication for appointments (perfect for us busy folks who can't get on the phone!) * State of the art machines (crucial for those of us with darker skin who need to be mindful). * Extremely well organized staff who keep everything humming perfectly, including the punctuality of appts. * Amazing technicians who not only know what they're doing but are kind and thoughtful and who are efficient but never rushed. (A huge shout out to Julia--she is like soothing balm to my soul and I always leave feeling more relaxed than when I came in despite the lasers lol) * And most importantly, IT WORKS. Whatever sessions you sign up for, I guarantee you see the results. * Oh and second most importantly, it is AFFORDABLE. Start with a Groupon and grow to buying packages directly from them with the specials they regularly offer! It's like the pricing of a place that you don't expect to be the spa-like environment that it is! I know I'm just piling on the great reviews here, but quite frankly, they've earned them!
