She is great. She's been my go to while in Albany and I highly recommend her. As per COVID concerns, she is strict about taking precautions and does not put the thread in her mouth while threading. She wraps it around her neck instead. She offers other services as well (waxing is with a roller not with popsicle sticks). But have only gotten my eyebrows threaded with her. I just want to add that I'm a bit obnoxious and picky about places that I go to, but Reema is truly great. She is the owner and the ONLY one there so you know you'll always get a great job done.

My eyebrows (or should I say eyebrow, I'll get to that later) Have never been this thin in my life. I'm so upset. Now on top of that, my brows are now two different shapes, two different thicknesses and just totally off. As soon as I was done I went over to Sephora to drop about $20 on a ABH brow pencil to hopefully fix this monstrosity. Getting my brows threaded never hurts me, except for this time due to her taking off way too much. Don't go here unless you want your brows to be very very distant cousins.

Now, not too many people want to endure the joy of hair removal. For those brave souls that do, we know that a skilled artist is necessary. Sara and a couple others at Arch are exactly this. I started out at Just Threading in Crossgates but after a few times of being cut and having broken hairs I moved on. I prefer to see the owner because she knows exactly what I am there for and she is quick -a feat considering I have thick curly hair that most threaders fear. Plus, she is a license cosmetologist and teaches the women on staff. A win all the way around! They offer an array of threading services and Henna. Best of all, they have great lighting so you know they can actually see what they are doing and you can, too. Last time I was there they had also added a quaint display of scarves, bracelets and more. You can even get child sized jewelry! Walk-ins are welcome -I actually don't know if they take appointments. Ha! If they are busy, just grab a seat and enjoy the music. *You'll know it by the vibrant orange walls, welcoming decor and upbeat music. Oh, and by the TV showing you what threading is! ===Tip for newbies: Be clear about what you want done and make sure they understand and agree, too.

PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. UNLAWFULLY OPERATED…read more The practice is run by a Physician Assistant (PA), but New York State law clearly states that PAs must work under the supervision of a licensed physician. When I asked to speak with their Medical Director, I was told they didn't have one. (Article 131-B of the New York Education Law governs the practice of physician assistants in the state.) The injector GiGi performed unauthorized treatments, including injecting Botox into my gummy lines--something I never requested or approved. When I returned to address the poor results, the PA had to step in to sternly direct the injector to only use half an injection to fix the Spock brow I had been left with. Despite these efforts, the results were far from satisfactory. My appearance resembled what can only be described as a "serial killer" smile. (See below pictures) They also convinced me to choose a "lip flip" instead of lip fillers, claiming it would help "quiet my facial muscles" before injections. It's unclear whether the resulting smile was caused by the lip flip or the unauthorized gummy line injections, but the outcome has been devastating. Even three months later, my smile is still not back to normal, despite being told that the effects would wear off quickly. The dismissive attitude that mistakes don't matter because "Botox wears off" is unacceptable. If a procedure's effects last for months, the least they can do is get it right the first time. Another alarming issue is their lack of transparency. While consent and waiver forms are uploaded to the online portal, they fail to include any documentation of the injection sites. This omission feels deliberate, and it makes me question what they might be trying to hide. On a personal level, this experience ruined what should have been a joyful time. I had just returned from a 10-month military deployment and was looking forward to reuniting with my loved ones. I wanted to look refreshed and less stressed, but instead, I ended up feeling self-conscious and unattractive. I even asked my boyfriend to delay proposing because I didn't want to look this way in engagement photos. It's heartbreaking that such a special moment had to be put on hold because of their carelessness. The staff assured me that what happened to me was rare and that the effects would subside quickly. However, after extensive research, I found only one similar case online, which confirms that my experience is far from normal.
