EXCELLENT service highly recommend!! I go to the woman in the glasses, fellas if you want to get them threaded definitely ask for tinting after too read more

Maya Thread Salon - Skin Care Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

I hate to write negative reviews for small business but you do not want to come here for a mani or pedi.. it seems like while they do offer the service, their forte are eyebrow threading and hair removal. I came here on a whim as I walked past but soo much regret. Originally wanted to get my eyebrow threaded but forgot I already prepaid for an eyebrow threading card elsewhere so I switched to a manicure because I hate doing my own nails. Chose my colour and sat down.. the lady who did my nails did not want to do nails and you could tell. Whenever I walk into a nail salon, the host is very friendly, engages with you and talks to you about your day. Nope... not a single word out of this lady. She was a bit aggressive when she was filing my nails.. kinda pulled my hand like a mom pulling her kid to come this way. Like... you're in the service industry, what... Filing was not straight.. you can see that from my picture. I asked her to fix it because I could've done it myself if I wanted something so imperfect but I think she was annoyed.. she did cut my nails, filed, buffed, apply cuticle oil, cut my cuticle and gave me a small hand massage. Colour.. yikes.. the colour was sheer to the point where it doesn't look like I have anything on. I think she should've done at least 3-4 coats but only did two.. colours are suppose to be opaque but no.. I came home and luckily had a colour that was similar enough to paint on top. Overall, not returning for nails. Probably wouldn't even return for brows.. the place is tiny.. uncomfortably small but if you're really on a whim, give their threading a try as I do see a lot of people come in for that. Not recommended for nails. read more

Maya Thread Salon - My manicure was so bad.. filing was not straight and colour was so non opaque I had to come home and fix it myself. - Skin Care Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

The best.Very nice. Very talented yes recommended! Very clean!!!!!!!!! Treat me very nice

They always take their time to make sure all the extra hairs are clean and removed! I have been going here for years now !

I walked in and they were very fast and quick with their service. I recommend them because they also accept Apple Pay which is great as someone who doesn't carry cash. read more

Maya Thread Salon - 2 hours before closing - Skin Care Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

I've been coming here for about 2 years now since a friend of mine introduced me to sugar waxing. I love how very knowledgeable lady was in telling me all about her experiences in doing waxing. Pleasant place, can be hard to find since it's on the bottom floor from street level. Take the stairs by the eye optics store. I started getting my eyebrows done by the same lady this year. $5 is not bad, it's quite painful but after a few sessions, you may not feel it as much haha. One thing I wouldn't do here is my nails. It looks very unsanitary and the other lady who did my nails wasn't very attentive to my needs even after repeatedly telling her to please be gentle. I'm giving this review 5 stars for the main lady- because she has good memory and is kind. This review is for bikini wax and eyebrow threading. read more

Eyebrows threading done . Not only it's a good pricing, they do very decent jobs. Love it very much. Definitely recommend

I'm writing this review because I moved to PA and I miss my favorite eyebrow aunty! Let's get one thing straight - she's the best eyebrow threader (that is best suitable for ME and a lot of my friends) in the Elmhurst/forest hills area. She knows what she is doing, however, she doesn't have enough space in her shop to do it comfortably. It would be cool if all the local regulars could help her start raising some money so she can provide a bit more, but in a perfect world. Anyways, I have tried at least FIVE different threading salons near my new apt and all of them SUCK. They're all desi (south Asian peeps) and they have the worst threading techniques. Not to mention they finish my service in less than 5 mins.... and charge me $10+... for eyebrows..... like you're not in Manhattan so bring your prices down. Sushila takes her time on me. She not only threads but tweezes my shiz to perfection. She has a steady hand, uses quality thread (from India) and will fix it if you don't like it. The people who gave bad reviews, there may be a language barrier or misunderstanding because she's great at what she does. I've gone to her for waxing and eyebrows - never had an issue. Also - nobody's paying me for this review nor do I know if she'll see this herself lol just really miss sushila because quarantine is killing a sis. read more

Great value and great service here! I come here once in a blue moon to get my eyebrows done and always happy with the service I got. The ladies are attentive and customizes my brows to fit my face shape. It is quick and easy! read more

This was my first time getting my eyebrows threaded so I didn't know what to expect. I had been meaning to go for a week and let my eyebrows grow more than I liked. The threader didn't speak much or ask how I wanted my eyebrows done, but she got a bunch of the hair around my forehead gone which I'm glad for. Plucking those out is a pain. It didn't hurt until she got to the bottom of my eyebrows with the eyelids. Just like plucking I could feel the pain to my stomach. She did offer me cream afterwards though. Here's the before and after. It's a bit uneven but it'll grow out Follow me on IG @karenjchen read more

I always try to come here whenever I'm in Elmhurst to get my eyebrows threaded. The service is always good and the ladies are so nice. They take their time with threading your eyebrows and the quality is consistent each time. They also ask you for your opinion before doing anything major such as potentially evening out your eyebrows by making one thinner than the other. Eyebrow threading is only $5 and they go above and beyond. Highly recommend! read more

I've been coming here for a couple years after my goto threading place shut down. They always do a nice brow. The only downside is they really try to get every client they can so when there's more than two people waiting, they start rushing and doesn't come out as clean looking. Everytime they rush I find myself tweezing lots of strays when I get home. read more

Came here with my girlfriend to thread my brows for the first time. Excellent service, really thorough. My korean brows are thick as hell so it was painful and the thread actually broke twice. I came out looking a lot cleaner though and she even put some white powder to make it feel better. For $5, it was def worth the price. Will be back soon read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE the way the two ladies at Maya Thread Salon do my eyebrows. I found this place back in Dec 2017 because I needed to get my eyebrows done last minute for my senior year photos and I was so worried they would not end up looking good, but WOW. My eyebrows came out fantastic; they were shaped so well that everyone kept asking me where I got them done. Ever since, I only get my eyebrows threaded here. They offer a variety of other services that I haven't gotten the chance to try but would love to. The two ladies there are wonderful and super kind. They do take credit/debit cards but they have a minimum of $9 I believe. I highly recommend this salon to everyone! read more

Maya has been opened up for a year or so now. I am cautious on writing this review, because I know this place will be soon flooded and I won't be able to get an appointment! But as a true yelper, I am compelled to share my amazing find. The people here are so talented on shaping my brows, they are more like artists! Neeta takes a look at my face and shapes my brows accordingly. Very clean, cheap, and great service, at $5, you really can't go wrong. read more

Maya Thread Salon - Skin Care Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

Advertises free threading for checking in but feels uncomfortable honoring the deal. The location is easy to miss because it's located on the bottom floor, you have to take steps down into the small salon. I appreciated my first threading session for free and tipped, but she didn't use aloe like most other places do, to relief the skin after a session. The place is also really quiet inside and she doesn't really interact with the customer. For that 3 stars. read more

I think this is the only place in Elmhurst to get your eyebrows threaded. Before Maya I would always have to be in the city to get them done when I already had make up on and had plans to see other people. Now that there's a place close to me I can leisurely wear no make up, dress in comfy clothes, and just get the done! Quick and easy. I usually go during the weekend because I'm super tired after work but I have done in on a few weekdays. They're usually never crowded and if they are the most you would wait is 5 minutes. They don't have a lot of seating area just a chair that sits two. I only come for eyebrow threading and they're super quick and efficient. I usually leave in less than 10 minutes. They are also very precise and make sure I like the shape. For threading you usually come back every 2 weeks but I usually come every month or so and tweeze during that time because it's not so bad. Threading is only $5, a much better price than what you would see in the city. I have gotten my forehead threaded as well and they did a good job. It hurts like hell though. The thread also breaks a little often and I'm not really use to that at other places. But the thread has to be tight to make sure theres no snag in your skin so I'm happy that they care not to snag my skin. I've also had a wax here once and as awkward as waxes are the ladies working there make you feel very comfortable. It's a small area and they just added a station to do nails and hair which seems interesting. Make sure to ask for their loyalty card for your 10th visit to be free. I go there so often that I'm probably on my 4th card. read more

Very professional and friendly service. The ladies make you feel comfortable and never have an attitude.

Absolutely sold on this place---- forever a loyal customer! I've tried sooooo many threading places in Queens and only 2 have passed in my book: Dawa Salon in Astoria & this place. I'm Asian and our brows are typically sparse and thin. Most threading salons end up making mine even thinner and straight, which is terrible because my eyebrows have an S shape. But this place doesn't do that. They really follow the shape of your brows and they're extremely thorough. These are the cleanest my brows have ever been! And let me not forget about the prices! Their prices cannot be beat! I dare you to find me a place that gives such great, clean, quality service for the same price or cheaper. Tip: it is a bit hard to find if you're not from the area since it's on the lower level. Like it is literally not within eye view. You have to go down a flight of stairs, make a left, past a furniture store. It's dimly lit on the outside due to the location being lower than street level. But I promise it's worth it and the ladies are super sweet! read more

This is my go-to place for threading. Super convenient location, and they're open pretty late so easy to go after work. You absolutely cannot beat the prices ($9 for eyebrows and upper lip). The ladies here take their time and do a really great job. I've never felt like they rushed even when there were other people waiting. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

My new favorite place to go to for eyebrow threading. This is one of the few places I've tried that doesn't push other services on you incessantly. They've offered other services but once you tell them no then they will back off unlike some other places I've been to. Also, they're very meticulous and my eyebrows always looks great after! Definitely recommend! read more

This threading salon has expanded to facials and nail care. The salon is small and cleanly kept. Its no frills but the service is good. They also offer henna tinting. The owner and staff are friendly and attentive. The nail service is simple, no tips, acrylics, etc... I have had several types of facials, from herbal to mineral. The owner has a soft touch for facials, soothing for delicate skin. Also, they offer massages. I recommend you give it a try if in the neighborhood. read more

I have gotten a few things done here. The price is unbeatable for everything, and it's a small shop that has many many different types of services (the two below are only what I have done so far). The lady doesn't speak fluent English but is very very nice and will try to make conversation w her broken English which I find it to be very warm. She also remembers me after being there only once. 1. Eyebrow thread: she does all facial threading altho I have only tried eyebrow bcz personally I'm too chicken to try anything else. The thread does break a couple of times like the other reviews said but the result is still terrific (note that I used to get eyebrow thread all the time at my old job location and relocated due to job change). She really takes her time on the threading. I never described to her of what I wanted bcz it's very simple for me but I assume you are more than free to request specific shapes. 2. Mani and pedi: very thorough job. Not too many color options. I'm not sure if they do anything other than normal mani/pedi (didn't see any tools or signs for it) but the normal mani and pedi were very detailed and they also take their time on it. My nails ended up lasting for a week and half which isn't bad. The nail drying machine was somewhat broken but note this isn't the fancy upscale nail salon that you go to and the lady is trying to her best to make a living ... so I suggest just expect more time for nail drying. Will update with pictures the next time I go there. read more

Highly recommend this place. Been coming here for over three years now, and the service remains the same, that's how you know they're really good. This is my go to place for my brows, and you'll always feel prettier after the session. Of course, threading hurts (not so much for me now, you get used to it) but they would definitely make it worth it. All love to Susie and Sushmita. read more

I believe I been coming here for the last three years non-stop once a month to get the same things done. I don't think I've ever had so much loyalty to one beauty salon. The people that work here are all very nice and very welcoming. The threading for eyebrows are only $5 and $4 on Mondays and Tuesdays, you can't beat prices like that. Brazilian wax is only $20 which is really cheap in this day and age. They do it really fast then press on it to save the pain. I also get a gel manicure done here once a month which is also $20 also a fairly price deal. Honestly I don't have to say much, the prices speaks for itself. I only wished they had more customers because I've built a relationship with them so I want them to have good business but the selfish part of me doesn't want them to be too busy cuz then I'll have to wait before I see them. :X Jk. Would I recommend it to my friends? Of course, already do! read more

Just got my eyes threaded here and it came awesome. They take their time and really listen to the client. If you are in the neighborhood and need to get your eyes brows threaded definitely stop in. We will be back. read more

The workers here are super nice and understanding. They do your brows beautifully for such a great price ($5). I come from flushing all the way to elmhurst just to get my brows done by them. Strongly recommend for people to come here. Service is read more

Good service and very gentle. My eyebrows came out nice and the price was quite cheap. Though the threader did not ask me the preference or how I want my eyebrows done she seemed to do a good job. As the first time getting my eyebrows threaded it did not hurt as much as I expected and little to no redness. I will be coming back :) read more

Maya Thread Salon - Eyebrows, threading - Skin Care Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

I absolutely love this place. This is place is a prime example of a small business, impacting a community. I have done my manicure, eyebrows and waxing at this place and never left disappointed. Great customer service, and always attention to detail no matter what service they're providing for you. The price is also more than reasonable, and even lower than some of the surrounding nail salons charge for manicure/pedicures. I'd recommend trying this place and referring to your friends and family!!! read more

First visit today and had the following services done: eyelash extensions, eyebrow threading and had above my lips waxed. Really great service offered by Maya! Prices are definetly reasonable and left as a happy customer. Definetly planning on coming back! read more

Maya Thread Salon - Eyelash extensions+eyebrows threaded! - Skin Care Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

Not a bad place to get your eyebrows done if you need a place to get it threaded. Service: I asked to get my eyebrows cleaned up a little and the lady did just that. She didn't speak to me much other than to confirm that she heard what I wanted to get done. Experience: The thread snapped more than once while she was threading my eyebrows, which was an uncommon experience for me. Overall: The service was quick and the wait was just about 5 minutes. The lady did, however, seem a little uncomfortable honoring her yelp deal of a free eyebrow threading. read more

ran into this place after having lunch in the elmhurst area and I really needed to get my eyebrows done. The place is small and clean, and you are greeted by the worker right away. Nita did an amazing job with my eyebrows, and I was amazed because my eyebrows have not been shaped so nicely in such a long time. The eyebrow place I usually go to in Forest Hills rushes me, but I felt like Nita took her time and made sure my eyebrows were the way I wanted them to be. I will def be back. I think this will be my new eyebrow place. :) read more

Pretty nice and affordable place to have your nails. regular medi & Pedi are only $20 bucks.Also got my eyebrows and upper lips done here. Very carefully shaped and detail. Love the shape! read more

Great place to get threading and waxing! They have great attention to detail and are super friendly

It was the first time i had my brows threaded, so i did not know what to expect. When i got in the salon, they greeted me politely and were very friendly. The place was clean so that was a big deal for me. Cheaper than other threading salons, but still quality service. The waxing services are great especially because they use chocolate wax (for sensitive skin types). The ladies who work there are extremely nice, they make you feel comfortable and are very professional. read more

My first time getting my eyebrows threaded was at Maya's and I immediately fell in love with this place. Eyebrow threading only costs $5 but I usually tip $2, so I pay $7 in total. Ive been coming here every 2 weeks for almost 2 years already. I don't have the best eyebrows to work with so the fact that they threaded my eyebrows so perfectly is beyond this world. They'll always ask you if you like your eyebrows after threading and will do their best to give you what you want. They also do many other things but I only come here to get my eyebrows threaded because I don't have any interest in the other things. I would definitely come here for the other things though. I've seen many people come here for eyelash extensions and their price is remarkably inexpensive! I was speaking to this woman who usually gets her eyelash extensions for $70+ in Arizona and NY but she only pays about $30 in Maya's. Every client I've talked to here have never complained about this place because the workers really do their best. This place is definitely a gem! read more

I usually have my brows done at a place in the financial district, but I now live in Elmhurst and stumbled upon this place today. It's a small downstairs place, clean, and the prices are good. The woman did a good job on my brows and off I went to do other things. Idk about other services, but I can definitely recommend threading here. read more

My eyebrows came out so beautifully! There was no redness afterwards. However the lady who threaded me was a little rude but overall super happy with my brows! read more

This place was my go to for threading eyebrow.but not anymore, she has mess my eyebrow. She did my threading eyebrow in such rush this time and make a a lot of mess to my eyebrow look. Beside the place not even packed with customer. She thread my eyebrow on the left thinner than the right side. She trim my left eyebrow very short that it's like there is a bald spot. She is not a professional. I don't recommend this place. read more

I also just got my eyebrows threaded there, and they are awesome! Sujia (lady who did my eyebrows) took her time and really listened to what I wanted. Eyebrows came out how I wanted them and they were arched evenly. Couldnt ask for more and it was only for $5, will definitely come back. read more
