This was my first trip to Thread Bar and I have no complaints! I got my brows done by Ratna ( sorry if I butchered your name!) and she did a great job. She listens to what you want - and after the work is done she will make sure you're happy with what you have. If not, you can always communicate the changes you'd like with them and she'll do em! I probably asked for at least 3 editions after she was completed and I looked in the mirror, my guess is she wasn't sure of my preferences since I was a first time customer. Overall I was very pleased with the level of service and will certainly be returning in the future read more

I typically go in for brows and upper lips and Tassi always gets me right. Tassi is really good with following instructions and always clean me up nicely. I do have full brows with a nice arch always. If you can make an appointment then you should otherwise you can walk in and hope they don't have appointments waiting. read more

I came here for full face threading and was disappointed. The person I had rushed through the threading. She wasn't happy she was doing full face. There was a lot of hair left behind, and the staff member claimed the hair was underneath the skin so she couldn't remove it. I've not had this issue in other threading places; they're able to remove everything. Considering what they charge for full face threading I was unhappy. The staff member apologised to the person after me for the long wait, which I found strange since I had made an appointment. I didn't receive an apology after I waited for her to finish with two other clients. This place caters to people who just need their eyebrows cleaned up. It's not a true threading salon. read more

So Good I came here one time before this and also had a good experience, my brows are naturally thick and have a nice shape so i just asked for a clean up, the women i was with was very gentle and reassuring. At the end she even went back in because she noticed a stray hair, they are also very affordable I've been to places that charged between $20-$30 for the same service, while Thread Bar only charges $13. I will definitely go again the read more

I used to be a regular at Anjuthreads and was heartbroken when I found out that they closed, so when I found out that Harinder and Sadia opened their own threading salon I was thrilled! I've been getting my brows threaded by them (along with Ami) since I moved to Philly 5 years ago and they never disappoint. I have very thick eyebrows naturally so I typically just ask for a cleanup and the results are pretty much always fantastic...and on the rare occasion that the result isn't fantastic, they are always accommodating in correcting any issues, even days after the fact. I sometimes get minor irritation and redness after threading (I have very sensitive skin), but you can request witch hazel toner that will knock it right out. $13 makes Thread Bar one of the pricier places in the area, but the price is worth it. You also get a loyalty card that gives you $13 off after 8 visits. You can make an appointment if you want to, but they always accept walk-ins. read more

This is my favorite spot to get my eyebrows done! They're super quick, insanely friendly, and educational on eyebrows. Harinder is super sweet and knows what she's doing! My brows looked a little rough and she cleaned them up exactly how I explained! They listen to what you want and will offer their opinions when asked. My previous experiences at other threading places in the city have been difficult because they do what they think looks best, even against request. If this has been similar to you, then come to Thread Bar! They're awesome! Easy 5 stars read more

Seriously love this place!!! Came because of the 5 star reviews I saw on yelp, and boy did this place live up to the hype. I've called and emailed for appointments, as well as just walked in. I've never had a problem with waiting even if I just walked in. They really want to know what you want (as far as eyebrow shape) and listen to you! Ami is the best!!! Highly recommend. read more

Fantastic threading bar! I don't trust many people with my brows, but I've always had great experiences here.

I've been coming here since February so this review is long overdue. I have tried multiple of the ladies here. The first time I came, I absolutely loved my brows. I believe her name is Rathna and my brows looked great for about month while I was away traveling Asia. I came back a few more times after that and had two other women thread my brows, and I was not happy with how they looked. The issues were the unevenness, uneven shape, and uneven thickness. I know it looks crazy that I'm giving this place 5 stars when the past three times I hated my brows. I decided to give them one last try. I ended up with Sadia. I cannot tell you how great she was. She took her time, she was so thorough, and shaped my brows so nicely. I've had Sadia twice now and I was extremely happy both times. It's nothing m against the girls here because everyone is really nice, welcoming, and professional, I just didn't like how my brows were done the last few times. I'll definitely be back. I definitely recommend this place. And lastly, I highly recommend Sadia. read more

EXCELLENT service. Highly skilled threaders--I can trust any employee to thread my eyebrows. I can't go anywhere else in Philly .

I'm so impressed! I came here because of all the 5 star reviews and they did NOT disappoint. Having such light, sparse brows, it's a struggle for me to find someone to do them naturally but still shaped. Sadia gave me exactly what I wanted! After attempting to grow out my brows for a year or so, I was finally fed up with the lack of shape. I took the leap and came to thread bar! So happy I did! They were very friendly and made me feel welcome. I will DEFINITELY be returning back for all my brow needs. read more

Thread Bar - Before and after of threading and tinting. I'm slightly red cause my skin is very sensitive! I'm in LOVE with my new brows - Threading Services Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Absolutely amazing service. The staff is so kinda and they really know what they're doing. They take time to show you what shape looks good and they even taught me how to fill in my eyebrows at home. You can tell that they genuinely enjoy what they do and it really makes a huge difference. I will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

I never had threading done before, but I will definitely be going back in the future for more! I did a walk-in and got lucky with being able to be seen right away. Ami consulted with me about any preferences I may have and made sure that I was comfortable. When I deferred to her expertise (of 25 years!), she threaded my brows into a beautiful and natural shape. I also decided to have my upper lip threaded, with which she also did a great job. The few times I tried wax on my upper lip, I broke out horribly afterwards, but did not have any issues at all after threading! Only wish I had gone there sooner! read more

Thread Bar - After threading. Requested a natural-looking, thick brow. - Threading Services Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Thread bar is awesome. I purchased a Groupon for an underarm wax and I'm hooked. Ami and everyone else who works here is super friendly - you don't feel rushed like you do at some places. And the results speak for themselves. I now go 3 weeks between appointments and I fear I will never go back to shaving again. I'd like to try the eyebrow threading too. Come here looking good and leave looking (and feeling) better! read more

Well now that I have been about 5 times and have had a GREAT experience every time, I guess my 5 star review is well overdue. Customer Service, cleanliness, speed, and quality of the work all 5 stars! read more

I haven't let anyone touch my eyebrows in 2 years thanks to the nail salons thinning my eyebrows. They still haven't fully recovered, but they do look better now. I came to the thread bar after reading reviews for a few weeks. This was my first time getting my eyebrows threaded and they came out great. Immediately she told me I was thinner towards the end of my brows , which let me know she knew what she was doing. It did hurt some, but it's just the same pain as getting them waxed. read more

UPDATE: I've been going to Thread Bar for 6 months now and my eyebrows have never looked better. Always impressed with the quality of their work. The staff is always extremely friendly and accommodating. If you're thinking about trying threading, definitely do it! read more

Thread Bar - Brows immediately post threading, no redness, no bumps, not filled in. - Threading Services Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I will never go anywhere else for threading! I have been coming to the Thread Bar for the past year and have never had a bad experience. I always go to Harinder because she's extremely gentle and great at what she does. The previous times I've done threading at other places were complete nightmares, and now I've finally found my go-to spot. And the times I've come in as a walk-in, I've never had to wait more than ten minutes. If you're scared to get threading or are worried about the pain, GO HERE. They're the best. read more

My eyebrows needed maintenance ASAP ! I found thread bar on yelp and did a walk in. I never got the name of the girl who did my by eyebrows and lips threading but she was amazing. She was very nice and detailed. She made me feel comfortable and she wasn't pushy like other threading places I've been to. I'm not picky if you miss a hair here and here as long as it's not a lot. However she did notice that there was one hair she miss and she fixed it. I like honest people. This was definitely one of the best experiences I ever had with threading and I'll definitely be back for sure ! The prices are super affordable. The good thing is that they also accept cards ! read more

Absolutely love the Thread Bar. The location is easy to find, super clean, they take your temp as you walk in. Each chair is sanitized prior to service. Due to covid an appointment needs to be booked. read more

This is definitely the best place in the area and they have a student discount! They're very nice about making adjustments if you have any small fixes you'd like done once they finish your brows. read more

Went here for the first time on Wednesday and I will definitely be back. I have sensitive skin and every time I get waxing or threading I break out afterwards, but I did NOT get a breakout after going to thread bar so I am very impressed. read more

What comes to mind I think of threading? Painful, red, blotchy skin & watery eyes. Thankfully not at thread bar! I avoided threading for almost 2 years because I went back to waxing since I prefer a quick process rather than sit through a slow, prolonged process. Threading was always uncomfortable to me and I always felt the roughness of the thread. However, I missed the brow shapes that threading could provide. So I took the plunge and found thread bar. I did a walk in on a weekday evening without a prior appointment. At 5:30pm they were able to take me right away. Within 15 mins, I walked out with nicely shaped brows and no redness! The staff was friendly and calm, which made the experience relaxing. She took her time yet worked efficiently. It was my best threading experience yet! read more

Went here for the first time because of the yelp reviews and wasn't disappointed. I didn't make an appointment, but I was seen within two minutes. Everyone was very pleasant and professional, and I'm really pleased with my the outcome. They give you a punch card, and your 8th visit is free (if you spend at least $13, which is how much eyebrows are). I'll definitely be back! read more

Amaaaazzzinnggg. Having just moved from NYC, I've been terrified to let someone new touch my eyebrows. I'm so glad I came to Thread Bar. I was a little nervous walking in without an appointment but I was the only one there at around 11 on a Tuesday. The woman who did my eyebrows was incredibly nice and professional. She was also very gentle; this was the most painless threading experience I've ever had! She listened to what I wanted and gave me brows that exceeded my expectations! This place is definately my new brow go-to. They take cards but you can't tip on the card, which I learned the hard way. I had to walk to target on chestnut to get cash back and bring her back her tip but she was very understanding and sweet about it! 5 stars :) read more

Amazing service for eyebrow threading! I walked in during my quick trip back to Philly and was out in 15 minutes with amazing eyebrows! I would definitely come back if I'm in the area. read more

Super clean and COVID friendly. They're very professional and always listen to their client. I'm a regular.

I went here to get my eyebrows threaded and as a new customer. The outcome was great and it's been about 3 weeks and my eyebrows still look fresh. The woman assessed my eyebrows and told me what she'd do to try to keep it thick which I really appreciated. It felt safe as well. read more

I don't do threading, but I stopped in for some henna. The woman is very professional and authentic. This isn't like 'white people' henna, this is the real deal, and she did a big design on my arm in like 10 min. Looks cool already and can't wait to see it when the ink flakes off. On a side note, the threader did look like a pro as well and was going really fast...if I wanted threading, I'd definitely try it. read more

I've been going to thread bar for a few months now. the first few times were great. I've had Amy & Stephy (who I both love their work). Today, was a whole different story. I called to make an appt with Amy who happened to be on vacation, so I opted for anyone. The girl that did my brow didn't even introduce herself, but shes in the 1st photo uploaded. Anyways, it took her, no lie, 3 minutes to thread my eyebrow. I've been growing my eyebrows out for a year. She chopped my one eyebrow so thin. I'm so annoyed because I have to wait to grow my brows out again. read more

Thread Bar - Threading Services Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Absolutely love this place! I've been going to Thread bar since it opened and never had a bad experience. The place is clean and the girls very professional and experienced. I have thick eyebrows and have been struggling for years to find a good shape. The girls really work their magic and I love my eyebrows now. Make sure you communicate with them what exactly is it you want, or at least an idea of what you are looking for. read more

I've been a regular threading customer here for awhile now and I always love the job they do. I decided to try eyebrow tinting and it's safe to say I'm addicted. I was really nervous about getting it done, I didn't want them to see too overdone or too dark for me, but the girl who did them took my concerns very seriously and only left the dye on for around 7 minutes. My brows look great! The darker color of them makes me not need to fill them in on a daily basis anymore; I wake up and I am good to go. When I went there was a special for threading and tinting together for $35! I will definitely be back to continue getting my brows threaded and tinted, it's worth every penny. read more

I'm not sure if my experience was an outlier given all of the positive reviews but since I saw a few people mirror my experience recently on here I thought it was worth sharing. In case this is a very occasional experience, I think its worth it for the folks at Thread Bar to know and do better. On the one hand, it was the fastest lip thread I've ever gotten but the hairs were pulled out so rapidly and strongly that my upper lip broke out within a day. If this was the worst that happened I wouldn't be that displeased but the leg wax I received was the worst I have ever gotten. The person who did it seemed to rush through it, a ton of stray hairs were left, the wax strips were applied haphazardly and yanked off carelessly in rapid succession. I expected some pain but this was next level. It is no wonder that I am now left with this rash on my inner leg and it is now sore to the touch. Not only did I have to shave when I got home but I am now having to apply hydrocortisone every day and am considering going to the doctor if the swelling/itching/burning doesn't get better. I should also mention that the lady was so rushed that pieces of wax were left on my legs and the paper from the table was sticking to me as I got up. I don't get leg waxes super often so maybe this is normal but I don't remember ever having a wax experience like this. Super bummed. read more

For those of you still waiting in line at Zara Brow Bar, hurry and head over to Thread Bar instead!! I'm so excited that this little spot opened up in Center City since I've been on the hunt for an affordable threading/waxing place. Sadhia and Harinder are really great. They're polite, friendly, and clearly very skilled at their craft. Their facility is clean, spacious, and posh. It's so easy to schedule an appointment, and Sadhia was super accommodating despite me having to change my appointment time several times. They also allow walk-ins, and there is usually no wait! I CANNOT EMPHASIZE HOW MUCH BETTER THIS PLACE IS THAN ZARA BROW BAR. Their prices across the board are less expensive than Zara's, and there's also a 10% student discount. The girls that work there are friendly and professional. They are very communicative, always making sure you are comfortable with where they are removing hair and that you are not in pain. If you want waxing services, there's a small room to the side that they do waxing in. It's a basic strip wax, so nothing too fancy. I'm not sure how well it would work for sensitive areas like a bikini wax, but for arms and legs it's adequate and efficient, especially since the prices are so low in comparison to other waxing salons. Again, ditch Zara and check out Thread Bar! You won't regret it! read more

For those who have never had their brows threaded before, do not hesitate. I have pretty nice brows to start with but I am always blown away at how much better they look after getting them threaded here. I think besides their skilled handiwork, they have a trained eye to pick the ideal shape and size of brows for your face. I followed the brow experts here from Anju threads. I was distraught when I heard Anju was closing, but I'm so glad that they stayed in town. I actually prefer this location as it's a little cozier. Sadia did my brows this time and went beyond my expectations. I've had them done by Harinder in the past and she was exceptional as well! read more

As a newb to threading, I couldn't be happier that I chose this place! Ami was kind, welcoming and so incredibly good at her job. I never knew my eyebrows could look as beautiful as they do after she worked her magic!! Will most definitely be back (again and again and again...) read more

Been going here since I moved out East 1 year ago; hard to find a new eyebrow place but they do a great job and are consistent! Doing great with Covid precautions too. read more

I thought it was a bit uncool when Zara Brow Bar re-located so close to Anju Threads location, and was sadly not surprised when Anju closed a few months later. However, seems that some of her staff opened up their own shop here, and I may be biased because it's more convenient for me, but I like this location better! Harinder did a fantastic job for underarm waxing; my last round elsewhere left my poor armpits a bit butchered, Harinder took her time and got even the most stubborn of hairs; didn't hurt too much! Now that I've got a customer loyalty card for this location, I'll be back- very reasonable prices, and on weekday afternoons, walking in seems to have a minimal wait. read more

Good reliable place to get your threading done. Very clean, nice ladies and they do a good clean job! read more

Thread Bar really did the trick for me! I came in on a Saturday afternoon to get my eyebrows and lip threaded and was seated right away. The staff was very professional and paid attention to what I wanted. My brows have not looked this good in years! The price is also right - it was $21 + tip for eyebrows and lip, which is a bargain for the great service here. They also offer punch cards, with $13 off after 8 visits. Will definitely be going back to Thread Bar! read more
