I've been to this location a handful of times for eyebrow threading. They do a decent job for a reasonable price. They do accept walk-ins and the wait is never very long. The staff are kind and efficient. The place smells a little weird, but I don't know if it's from cleaning products or ingredients in the beauty products that they use there. It's a small place with about three chairs for threading and a tiny waiting area inside the front door. Great when you need a quick eyebrow clean-up! read more

I have been coming here for years! I used to go to a place in corona but once my go to threading lady left the other kept messing up my brows. I have a couple of go tos at this location that listen to my instructions about what i want and what not to do. They are careful and have me double check every step of the way before continuing and if they have to do something they explain it before hand. Because of COVID they are no longer threading with their mouth. I just wish they would t speak over my face while they do my brows even if they are wearing masks. The price can't be beat. It used to be $5 but recently went up to $6. Surprised at original low price especially for the area. I just wish they would make it look more presentable. Its not a fancy spot but the service is great and you get what you need at a reasonable price. Continues to be my go-to. read more

Very affordable threading salon in Astoria. The ladies always do a great job. This is my go to spot for when I need my brows done.

During my recent visit to the Jim Henson exhibit at the Museum of Moving Image, I had the following conversation with Bert from Sesame Street: Me: Hi Bert. Bert: Hi Lara. Me: I see that you still have a uni-brow going on. Bert: I know. This is how my creator Jim Henson wanted me to be. Me: But Bert, you are in Astoria! There is a plethora of eyebrow threading salons, all in the pursuit of improving the original. :) Threading Way is indeed among the many threading salons that dot the Astoria map. And judging from the traffic of clients walking in and out, it is one of the busiest salons presumably because it is conveniently located along Steinway in Astoria. I have tried a number of threading salons where most of them either remove too much from my eyebrow or subject me to the cruel and inhuman punishment of eyebrow torture so I was a bit skeptical that I'd walk out a happy client. Then again, I have always believe in the possibility of good surprises and at $5 for eyebrow threading I was indeed satisfied with the efficient, light and gentle approach to my eyebrows. They also offer other services like waxing and facial but I doubt if Bert of Sesame Street will avail of any of these services considering that I still have to persuade him to subject his uni-brow to eyebrow threading. read more

Shazzy is the best! I highly recommend her to anyone that needs to maintain or repair their eyebrows. They also do facials with Steam, which is such a relaxing treat. read more

I don't know why I've gone back a few times. I think it's because of their location and late hours. There was a new person there(in the last chair) at the beginning of the year who was very good. Her technique was really painless, it was great. I haven't seen her since then. The three ladies that have been there the longest are way too talkative and don't pay attention to what they're doing. I get the impression that they are talking about you as they're threading. They try and push for you to get your eyebrows done, when you're there for other parts of your face. Many times their thread keeps breaking in mid-thread. I think it's because they're inexperienced or they aren't paying attention and are too aggressive. read more

My girl did a fantastic job with my brows and I find that most of the time people don't get it right the first time without really knowing the person, being comfortable with their face shape, brow preferences as far as shape/length and thickness go. When I took a seat in the girl's chair I gave her the following instructions, "not too thin and with a slight arch" and off we were - 5 minutes they looks fantastic! Plus for only $5, that's great! I'm pretty sure her name was Sabhu :). Reason I gave Threading Way 4 stars instead of 5? I was asked like 3 times if I wanted other services. My mind was not going to change after I said 'No" the first time - I worked in C2B sales lady and asking a customer over and over (without any attempt to even switch it up) does not work. In all though I was pleased and will come here to do my brows for now on when I'm in Astoria. read more

For $5, they made my eyebrows look amazing with a combination of waxing and threading. They don't say much (other than to each other), and are a bit rough and the salon is very small and cramped- but I'm very particular about my eyebrows and some of the bigger, more expensive salons in the area could never seem to get them right- and here they did an amazing job. I'll definitely be back I'm sure. read more

I had my eyebrows done and got a facial. The girl who took care of me was inexperienced. The threading was painful and she didnt even ask me which shape i wanted and of course she got it wrong. She gave me the worst facial ever(which was done in the same room where they do the threading with all the other customers, where the passers by can see you through the window!): she wasn't gentle at all and used too much strength when using the various scrubs. Extraction was even worst(Lucky me she only did it on a few spots). My friend only came for a facial but they kept asking her if the wanted to get her eyebrows or mustache done (seriously?!). I hated the whole experience and don't recommend it at all. Stay away from this place! read more

First off, who categorized this as "Local Flavor"? Secondly, I'm giving this place 3 stars for exactly two reasons, which are not relevant to waxing or threading abilities and results: 1. I wasn't charged extra for how much extra wax/material they had to use both times I was here. I am a hairy procrastinator...and maybe this isn't a thing when it comes to waxing, but I know hair salons often adjust prices for length of hair. The second waxer had asked if I would mind if another woman helped out. In theory, I wouldn't have, but I didn't think I could handle the pain. 2. Open late, every day. That's how I ended up in here at all. I know it's primarily a threading salon, but I've had a weird feeling about this place and didn't trust getting my eyebrows done here. Word of advice: If you don't feel comfortable somewhere, don't get the service done. (I don't feel comfortable putting my eyebrows in anyone's hands, but my neuroses are a different story.) I went here for full leg waxes twice because I needed one before the following day, in both cases, and I was in the neighborhood. FYI, the waxing room is cramped. I don't remember the names of either of the women who waxed me. The first one was a lot sweeter than the second, though the second was also nice - it's like comparing candy to fruit - but the waxes were rushed, a little spotty, and were very painful. The kind of pain where I'm only adding to it by digging one hand's nails into the other to focus on that instead. Disclaimer: I am a wimp. But I'd waited too long between each of the last two waxes, so I forgave the slight spottiness because of the extra time needed. It wasn't until I started watching the regrowth of the second that I was actually disappointed. The first wax, in that regard, was a lot more effective. Go here if you have to, but I'm sure there are better options elsewhere. Five blocks down Broadway is Queens Beauty Parlor, and I've heard good things (http://www.yelp.com/biz/queens-beauty-parlor-astoria#hrid:j3DXQg1VhhUpdWjKeVIeTA). read more

Pretty good for the price. My wife goes here for a quick touchup and says she is happy with the quality for the price. They offer all kids of facial services but the eyebrows are the only thing she has done here. Its $5 and they almost never have a wait. The ladies are nice and they keep the place clean despite it being a but rundown. Overall its a good place for touchup. read more

I went to this place because I was around the area. I specifically told the older lady with glasses.. Just clean up and I don't want it too thin. What do I get? Butchered eyebrows. She took out too much from the inner corner of my brows which I had been growing out for awhile and she made them too thin. I did not want to pay. She kept saying that she followed the shape of what I had when I filled them but let they were thicker all I needed was a clean up. I paid the $5 I shouldn't have. Should've asked for the owner or something.... I hate it when they do this. Then they get offended. That lady was just laughing and talking with the other 2 and had she paid attention she wouldn't have butchered my brows the way she did. I honestly feel like going back and complaining. Do not go unless u have been going for awhile and seeing the same person because it is not worth it. read more

Threading Way - Went to get my eyebrows done and they butchered them. Don't go.. Not worth it - Waxing Near Me - Astoria, New York

I came in for lips and eyebrow threading. They did an ok job on both. I also got a facial to try it out since its only $25 for deep cleansing. Stay away from getting a Facial at this place! 1. They take you down into the basement of the place where there are other people in same room as you 2. They left me down there for 20 min un -attended , I had to get up and go back upstairs to ask if they forgot about me! The girl said they needed my pores to open after steaming. I've gotten over 20 facials and I've never had to wait for my pores to open that long. 3. They use cheap facial products that you can just buy yourself 'oil of olay' 4. Very harsh with the cleansing of my skin, I felt like the girl was going to poke my eye out. 5. Downstairs area where you get the facials is disgusting, they have dead bugs in the lights and none of their towels looked washed. This was a huge mistake, you get what you pay for. Never again will I get a facial here!! read more

Wow terrible rude customer service. Threading wasn't that bad but I felt almost completely unwelcomed. They did not sanitize before being seated. & just side note- not a single time has she bothered to thank for the extra tip I hand her. read more

I have Been coming to this threading spot for years. I have never had an issue. I used to get them done every week but now I can stay away for like 3 weeks. I don't trust anyone else with my eyebrows. I'm actually on my way to them now. read more

I went there yesterday for eyelashes, they said it will last 3 weeks, FYI it lasted 10 hours, people in that place makes sure you will feel pain, then they start talking in their language, never wash nor sanitize their hand, and they are very rude. I will never recommend this place unless you are their friend. I wish to give NO STAR but I can't do that. read more

So I was getting my eyebrows and upper lip threaded. After she did my eyebrows, the lady didn't even give me time to look at my eyebrows. She saw that 2 customers were waiting so she started rushing me!! It is NOT THE LADY in the check in photo. It's another lady. Other than that it's my regular place. $5 for eyebrows is an amazing price! read more

I went in for a full face threading. The lady greeted me when I went in. She quickly sat me down and started my forehead. It was my first threading experience and she was rough. She stopped a couple times to talk to her friend and was on the phone. I sat there unattended, waited for a couple minutes unsure what she was doing. Nonetheless, will try out other places. read more

I have been going to this place for about a year now and found the employees and the manager very friendly and the place is very clean. Even though they have many customers waiting, the employees never rush on you and do a very good job. Also the price is very very reasonable. I will recommend this place and give them five stars. read more

Threading Way - Waxing Near Me - Astoria, New York

Horrible place, i went for a clean up, left me with thin, thin eyebrowns. Never going again.

My go to threading salon. Don't expect any frills here, and I don't know that I would try anything other than the threading services....but they do a fabulous job on my eyebrows. 5 minutes and $5 (before tip) and I feel like a new woman. Not much communication, but I don't need that. They always ask if you want your upper lip done, so don't be offended. I always say no and have never been pushed further. Threading ANYWHERE hurts...so don't blame that on the girls, beauty is pain! read more

I've been coming here a long time the only problem I have is there seems to be a lack of consistency with the women who work here. Just when I get used to a particular person doing my eyebrows who is good I have to deal with the fear of a new person messing them up. The good thing is that coming here bi-weekly for the better part of over 2 years they have only messed my eyebrows up once. read more

This place is horrible !!! Do not waste your time for a failure of beauty !
