Love this place! I've been coming here and a few of their other locations for their brazilian sugar waxing and threading. It's always incredibly professional, clean, and reliable. Will definitely continue coming back! read more

I went to Shobha for the first time and really enjoyed it. I got my eyebrows threaded by Taru who was so meticulous! I really felt like I was in good hands with her. Logistics wise - there was no wait for my appointment - they were able to seat me right away. The only odd part was when I was making the appt online, I went through the payment steps and added a code, but when I was leaving, they asked me to show proof of where I found the code vs being able to check their records. read more

Very big and modern place to get your eyebrows threaded. It's on the pricier side though

Came here for an under arm hair removal session. My provider Leena and she was excellent. Leena was sweet, informative and honest the best thing when receiving any treatment. The place was clean and bright. The receptionist is the first thing you see walking in. There isn't much of a waiting area but I didn't have to wait long so it was ok. I was literally out in about 15mins. Good location for afterwork. I recommend and because of Leena, I will be back. read more

Listen; I haven't done my eyebrows in over a year! (Don't judge me) & when I had the chance to finally get them professionally done I jumped at the opportunity. The location was tucked away in the middle of the block under scaffolding, I missed it and walked by, but no biggie. Highlights included: 1. Friendly receptionist; we shared a laugh in the beginning when i couldn't get the front door open 2. Clean space 3. Prompt service 4. Knowledgeable AND Experienced eyebrow tech (I am truly a curious person and she answered ALL my queries!) 5. She slayed my eyebrows Only negative (but I get it) the business sends a ton of reminder messages and emails to ensure that you're coming. Besides that... What more could I ask for? Nothing...Go Here! read more

Listen, eyebrows are important and to find a skilled threader is a full-time job. In need of a *proper* thread session, I made a 6:45pm appointment with Shobha on Thursday, Apr. 13. I figured I'd drive over there after work and it'd give me enough time to find parking in Williamsburg, a neighborhood known for its parking shortage. I arrived early and parked a few blocks down as Berry Street was closed off (Open Streets initiative). Once I got onto Berry Street and 4th St, it was quite difficult to find Shobha. It's further down the block than what the GPS kept directing me to -- the first door on the corner. Shobha is at least 3-4 businesses inside the block, obscured by scaffolding. I would advise that Shobha place a sandwich board on the corner of 4th Street because it can get lost in all of that is happening on Berry Street and 4th Street. From the 4th St corner, you can see the large signage of Laser Away, which is located across from Shobha. You get my point. Shobha is clean and bright. I love the bright orange throughout and how spacious the location is. There isn't much of a seating area but considering there are several stations, you won't have to wait long to be serviced. I blindly booked with Rashmita and she was affable from the onset. I liked her brows and I thought I was in good hands. Rashmita talked me through the pain and gave me plenty of breaks as she threaded, which I greatly appreciated. I hadn't threaded my brows in a month; I swear I'm a lot tougher LOL. Anyway, I absolutely loved the finish product. A cool towel was placed atop my forehead and that was calming. I will say the cost for eyebrows threading is steep but I suppose the area plays a role in that. (Translation: the rent is high). Nonetheless, Shobha might be worth the splurge. Check 'em out for yourself. read more

- everybody was nice - space is clean - threading takes four minutes was my first time, they were pleasant and patient with me - I was late and they were still able to accommodate read more

I've definitely found my new home for waxing and sugaring. The experience at shobha was amazing from the moment I walked in. The young lady at the desk was very polite and welcoming, also very accommodating. The facility is very nice and clean and organized. My wax specialist was excellent very gently Probably the most painless experience I've ever had waxing. I was over due for a Brazilian so I was bracing myself for pain but it was a walk in the park she made me feel very comfortable and talked to me through the whole process educated me on the products and what process would be good for my in growns I really loved it here in expensive compared to the competition and the service is great... this will be my new home for waxing thank you read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Shobha. Their website is easy to follow and book an appointment. After reading tons of Yelp and Google reviews I decided to book with Davinder and I have no regrets. She was so kind, walked me through th whole process and even follows up with after care instructions. She made me feel validated and comforted. I originally booked an underarm waxing appointment, but Davinder suggested sugaring. It was my first time and I'd definitely do it again. Loved how she walked me through the pros and cons of both and didn't make me feel pressured into doing sugaring. Once finished she threaded the straggling hairs and applied a cream. The salon itself is really nice and check-in/check out was a breeze. I love that they have venmo codes displayed if you forget to bring cash for a tip. Excited to come back. I am strongly considering trying other services on their menu. read more

Great place-- friendly staff, highly trained, fa painless experience every time. They're specialists!

This is the best place by far to get your threading done in Williamsburg! I am really impressed with how clean and professional they are. Very easy to schedule. Check out their package discounts and they also do discounts for students as well, which I appreciate. I love getting my face threaded here, and they often do a combo of waxing and threading, which is nice. read more

*update* nobody from the business has reached out to me a week later despite the comment below - must just be something they say on yelp to try to distract from negative reviews Completely butchered my eyebrows after I specifically said to just clean up the stray hairs.. they had another of the ladies look at it after and basically got a "yeah sorry.. all you can do is wait for it to grow back." Seriously? The person at the front desk was kind enough to offer me 15% off (thanks I guess?) and suggested me to book someone "more specialized in brows" next time. Not sure why they would have people on the payroll who they then admit aren't qualified to be doing brBe careful here if you like your eyebrows.. read more

I first came to Shobha for a Yelp elite week, and they got me as a customer. Davinder is amazing! She works so well with me, and does an amazing job. I've had my 3rd visit with her and adding this service to my self care regime has been interesting lol. Once i can do laser, i will definitely try and do it with them. Highly recommend read more

Had a quick and amazing experience getting my brows done! She was meticulous, quick and almost painless! The threader took my brow cleanup request seriously and I was so happy that not much hair was taken off. Honestly if I had more time, I'd explore other services that they offer. read more

I originally reviewed and started going to Shobha in 2021. Since day one I have been booking with Taru for my lazer hair hair removal, she has 8+ years of experience in removal and has been at the salon for 10 years!! She is simply amazing, I am in the process of finishing up a series for my upper leg and she always so patient and explains everything as we go along. It really should have started this along time ago but I almost finish thanks to Taru. I highly recommend her at Shobha read more

Shoutouts to Krystal front desk Anju Wax Esthetician Jamuna Wax Esthetician Summer is here and Brazilians and bikini waxes are in season. This place was clean, beautiful and efficient. Krystal at the front desk got us checked in and She was so incredibly professional and friendly. I had Anju for my appt. She was, by far, the best wax aesthetician I have ever experienced. I got a sugar wax Brazilian, and I can tell you right now That is my choice for summer! It was my first time so she walked me through, made me super comfortable and worked efficiently, checking with me to make sure that I was doing OK! She was fantastic. Also, ask for the Cortizone application and it will make your experience even better. I was in and out of there before I even knew what was happening. Thank you Anju for taking great care of me! Di had Jamuna and said she had a fantastic experience as well. They are very organized here very clean and very efficient. I love how they have all of the aestheticians Venmo so you can scan at the front desk to leave a tip if you'd like. I will definitely be back every time I am in town. This place rocks! read more

This review should have been done years ago! Taru is the absolute best. Eyebrow and laser hair removal. I was so embarrassed to be out in public with my hair and she saved my life! I can't thank her enough for the years of amazing work! The staff is also so nice and it's very clean. Victor at the front desk is my absolute favorite person ever as well. Always so professional and kind! read more

We got a series of laser hair removal in a private area. The tech was very nice. But we didn't like that we had to be completely nude on the bottom to do the laser. They should have some kind of modesty paper. Secondly, after spending a very pretty penny, and over 8 sessions. Especially with the ceiling totally open and exposed it felt weird. The laser didn't work at all. Not at all. We ended up ordering a personal laser on Amazon that did the trick. A total waste of money. They need to invest in new tech and get some disposable modesty coverings. read more

Eyebrow tinting and threading of need for you? Please book here. I see Rashmita but everyone is fantastic. Friendly service, great prices and just a terrific spot to shape up your brows! read more

The service itself was good, but a rude comment made by the brow specialist really put me off. This was my second time at Shoba Brooklyn. Loved my first experience here, but since the specialist I saw the first time had switched locations, I made an appointment with another specialist to get my brows threaded. The specialist (who I still don't wish to out by name) did a good job with my brows. So when she was finished, I told her they looked amazing and thanked her for her work. As I was standing up, she bluntly told me "your eye brow pencil is too dark. You need a lighter one. They look fake." Well ok. Even if that was her opinion, I did not ask for advice about brow color. I was coming from work and wearing a full face of makeup, so it was pretty clear I wasn't going for a natural look. I was there to receive a hair removal service, not a consultation. The specialist's words really caught me off guard, but since she did a decent job, I for some reason thanked her for her advice and we parted ways. It's a shame the specialist chose to end our appointment on a negative note, because I would've returned to Shoba next month for a touch up if she hadn't been so curt. The receptionist was kind and the actual work done was fine, but I can't get past the rudeness. I'd love to support a local business, but for now I'll be returning to the Benefit Brow Bar. read more

Love love love it here I usually go to Tara .I don't know if I am spelling her name right but she is quick and effective.a little pricey but so worth it !!!! Also very clean in there read more

Always a great experience at Shobha! Anytime I am in NY they are my go to for my hair removal needs!

decent service, very expensive like seriously overpriced.... i think since they are located in expensive real estate, it maybe priced to cover that But most smaller waxing places would do it at a fraction of their costs for just as good read more

Just left my first appointment at Shobha, received a bikini wax from Leena. She was very sweet, quick and precise! It was as painless as a bikini wax could get and more thorough than any wax I've received in the past. Happy to find a good place in the neighborhood - will be back! read more

Can't imagine coming here and not having a great experience! Whoever is at the front desk is always in a great mood (which puts you in a great mood) and so helpful. I've come here a couple of times to get a Brazilian wax and have been so impressed with both of the women who helped me. Waxing, in general, can be pretty unpleasant but my experience justifies me coming back. Highly recommend both Davinder and Taru! read more

Whoa! Wow! My first visit for a pre vacation Brazilian I was admittedly nervous and apprehensive. From the moment I stepped in the door I was greeted with immense warmth and kindness. I felt immediately at ease. They check temps and encourage hand washing. Then it's right into the service. As you can imagine being that vulnerable is not easy especially for a first timer but my technician had me laughing, relaxing and comfortable in a matter of minutes. She explained everything every step of the way and encouraged me. She provided amazing post care tips and I eagerly bought a service package so I can return as directed. Then the woman at the front desk let's just call her pure sunshine (that's not her name lol) but she is so incredibly joyous, kind and she explains add on products and services like she's wishing you a happy birthday! The customer service is unbelievable and the entire experience one of a kind! I am now a customer for life. I encourage you to make an appointment and visit. read more

Davinder looked critically at my brows when I told her I wanted around the same shape I already had, just cleaned up, and I wanted it to look "natural." She pursed her lips and looked appraisingly at me. "It's shaped wrong, isn't it?" I asked. "Your brows are round, and your face is round," she replied. "So I want my brows to be more angled?" (I've read the fashion magazines, I know what this means). She smiled at me the way your cool aunt does when she's about to show you how you've been wearing the wrong bra size the whole time, clandestine and "you're about to glow up real hard." Or that's what I imagine it would look like, never having had a cool aunt who's showed me anything about bras. Then Davinder flourished the drape and twirled the chair like a fairy god-aunt and off we were. She chided me for plucking my brows. "That's why there's all these in-grown brow hairs, it doesn't get it from the root." I joked "Are you saying I should get them threaded more often?" but she didn't reply. Davinder doesn't waste words for the obvious answers. I emerged with beautiful brows. It's not going to stop me from plucking (it's just so satisfying), but it does mean that I will definitely also get them threaded, because I need a cool aunt who's going to teach me about brows and bras. read more

I really like sugar waxing with Davinder at the Williamsburg location in Brooklyn. She is quick yet gentle and has a great demeanor. She was accommodating to my pregnant condition being even more gentle and careful. The only reason why I didn't give a 5 star to Shobha Brooklyn location is because every single time I go, I have to wait over a long time to get check in because the person at Front Desk is hard at up-selling every single customer who is checking out. I've actually had to wait over 15 minutes to check in because she was taking her sweet time trying to convince a woman to buy a package. Not knocking her doing her job, but then I would recommend they put 2 people at front desk or have some type of digital self-check in process. read more

Pretty expensive but they're decent. The first time I went was really great because I did my research on who to book. Other 3 times have been just okay (left with a ton of ingrowns, was painful, getting comments and giggles about how coarse my hair is) because I forgot who I had the first time. I also find it strange that I was to take off and putt on my clothes while the person is in the room it just feels awkward and it's a super small space. read more

I wanted to try a new waxing studio for a Brazilian and I was able to book a time slot with Davinder at the Williamsburg location. I have been to many studios and this has probably been my favorite experience. Davinder was super friendly and made the experience very pleasant. There was minimum pain and I was done very quickly. The facility is also very clean and those who work at the front desk are also very nice. It is a bit on the pricier side but I think Shobha is a great place if you want a gentle and pleasant experience. read more

Shobha is wonderful, because well...FRANCES! The staff was great. We had a nice good laugh that day. read more

The environment is welcoming their threading service is Awesome and fast lol I haven't done by brows since 2020 and girrrrl they did they thang! And the all the workers are just so nice and happy and the place was so clean and bright im deff coming back , annddd they have other services and products read more

I came here to thread on my eyebrows. The staff was very friendly and took the time to explain what she was doing. She also provided guidance on the perfect shape for my face. Overall, a good experience but, it is on the pricer side. read more

Awful, awful experience. They had me fill out multiple forms, book an appointment, and sit through a virtual consultation. Then, after all that, when I showed up for my appointment they told me no one was available to provide the service. The receptionist was polite and apologized profusely. But this was an unacceptable failure of organization. They probably wasted two hours of my time. To avoid a similar fate, I recommend going elsewhere. read more

Davinder is an absolute gem, and you cannot convince me otherwise! She's efficient, caring, and always incredibly thorough. At this point, she's the only person I trust for a Brazilian and I recommend her to all my friends. They can be pushy about buying packages, but it's totally in your interest to do it and save some $$$ read more

It's awesome to be there on their grand opening day! I love how swift everything flows! quick and efficient! staffs are super friendly, attentive and helpful! I'm so glad there's wine, it definitely helped w my wax! Davinda's very informative and good w what she does! it's a great experience! Thanks Katey for organizing this event! read more

Visited Shobha for the first time, courtesy of Yelp. Customer service was on point with minimal wait. For waxing services, they lead you to a private and semi spacious room. The technician I had was friendly and attentive, asking now and then whether the wax she was using was too hot. Temperature was perfect and she was very thorough. Shobha staff are also very sanitary as they dispose of each stick after each use. Location is fairly close to home so i would definitely come back in the future. read more

Clean, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing. The rooms for waxing/sugaring smelled great, like they used some type of aromatherapy or candles so that it's a calming atmosphere- good prep for the pain to come! The music they played was also great which is a good second distraction. The staff is clearly very knowledgeable and the woman who did my Brazilian told me all about their sanitation practices and why she did certain things, giving me recommendations and tips. They are also great salespeople because she basically convinced me in minutes that I needed to come back to her every few weeks- props. Thanks so much to the Yelp team and Shobha, wonderful event and I am sure this salon is going to be busy in no time! I did think it was a shame no men showed up- come on, we know y'all do your eyebrows too...! They missed out! read more

Lovely staff, they communicated with me promptly and efficiently. The salon is clean and nice. We were seen right away and we were done in no time. Will be back again! read more

I religiously came to Shobha to see Bela, who is no longer with the company. I had full faith in Shobha, their training and company ethos...etc. The north 4th location is always empty, which I attributed to growing pains. Fast forward 1.5 years, and I encountered the new "Shobha". I had my service, recommended by front of house, by Anju. Anju was incredibly rough (mind you, I have had my eyebrows threaded every four weeks since I was 15). Left bleeding, and the entire process was unbelievably painful. There is a huge hole in my brow, when I told her to leave them full. She sugared my upper lip, and went over my lip twice. Any waxer would advise otherwise. I have two welts over my lip because of the skin trauma. I'm so disappointed with this service. *twelve hours later have broken into rash on upper lip where she double waxed. This has never happened before. read more
