The Threading Spa

First time trying this place today! It was such an amazing experience. I was recommend by a friend. She did my eyebrows so perfectly! Only place I will go to get my eyebrows done now! If it’s your first time, don’t think about it hurting. Just think about how cute you’ll look afterwards. Trust me. It didn’t hurt at all && it’ll be red afterwards for like 5 minutes, and then it’ll go away. Love love love this place! Good service too!

DO NOT LET THEM PUT ANY CREAMS ON YOUR EYEBROWS AFTER THREADING IT! I went there a few days ago and the lady was nice at first but then she realized I was not going to tip her and got mean. In reality I was going to at the end but then I saw her attitude. She put a cream on my eyebrows after threading them and im getting pimple all over my eyebrows. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE

I was at the South Shore Plaza last month and I saw this so I thought why the heck not. The lady that was the only one there immediately say me down once I walked in. She was very nice and talked to me throughout the threading. She showed me how to hold my hands above my eyebrow and applied aloe on it afterwards. It was quick and she did an excellent job. My eyebrows looked so great. It was my first time doing anything to my eyebrows and the sweet lady really made it a nice experience.
However, I went again today and I’m extremely disappointed. I still cannot believe how bad it was. First of all, when I walked in no one addressed me or welcomed me. I just stood there and stared around until a woman later on lead me to a chair. She looked very unhappy and took a long time to set up. She told me to hold my hand above my eyebrow and began threading it. After she was finished I looked like a mess. She didn’t take her time and rushed through it. One of my eyebrows were a lot larger and bushier than my other. I payed and left. Later on I realized how horrible my eyebrows were and decided to go back and ask her to fix it. So I explained how it was uneven and I didn’t like it. I don’t know why but she didn’t apologize and she acted even more rude than she was before if that’s even possible. She to me to hold my eyebrow and I did as she told. Then she kept saying «You’re holding it wrong» over and over again. I told her «I don’t know how to hold it» but she kept telling me that I was «holding it wrong» until finally she grabbed my hand and placed it where it should be. As soon as she was finished I said thank you and left.
All I know is that I’m never going back there again. I don’t want to take that chance. I guess I just got lucky the first time I came. Im sorry I don’t know what their names were. If you want a quick threading and your at the mall, I don’t see why not. If I were you, I would avoid the grumpy looking one.

My first time getting threading done. I had no idea what to expect, but I was more than pleased with my experience! I will definitely go back again and suggest this place to anyone and everyone I know. They were kind quick and understanding to a newbie like myself. Although threading can be painful they made every effort to make it a pleasurable experience.

I brought my little sister here who has never had her eyebrows done and dear god, did she need them done. They were extremely full and overgrown, so I made sure to tell the tech that I didn’t even really want her to shape them, just clean them up and keep them full.
Side note: my sister cannot tolerate pain or even the thought of pain; she passed out at the eye doctor trying to put contact lenses in. So I also told the tech that she was nervous and she made sure to periodically ask my sister how she was holding up which I thought was nice of her. But for the people that think threading is an unbearable pain– it’s not. It lasts no more than five minutes, and if you go in there expecting it to hurt like hell, then it will. Take deep breaths and think about how beauteous you’re going to look after. I always comapre it to getting a tattoo: it doesn’t hurt, per say, its just a really annoying nuisance, like someone pinching you over and over in the same spot. It doesn’t hurt much, but it’s annoying as hell.
I definitely recommend the threading spa. my sister’s brows came out beautiful, not thin at all; nice, clean, natural looking brows. I gave them 4 stars because there isn’t anyone in there with decent conversational english. It’s very broken and sometimes hard to understand. but overall very pleased.

I never get consistent results even when I request the same person every time,
I went from nice full and thick eye brows to half an eyebrow
I simply asked for a «clean up»

I would give this place no stars if I could. I’ve been threaded before other places, its always painful for me but this was the worst experience ever. It hurt worse than I could ever remember. My eyes were streaming. And I had to keep reminding the technician what I wanted. I was getting my face done minus the brows (they never do what I want so I just do them myself) She would leave spots. She was like oh you want that too? No I want a small patch of hair in the middle of cheek or chin rme. Afterwards my face was literally bleeding, not a spot but a whole patch! I didn’t notice right away or I wouldn’t have paid. My face was so rough and irritated after and broke out terribly. Its still healing a week later. Thanks for effing up my face. This place or that lady is just awful. Never going back.

I have always been very particular and picky with who I let touch my eyebrows. Since the first time I got my eyebrows threaded at SSP in their little kiosk before they had their own shop, ive been hooked. The ladies in here are all very nice and they all do a great job, I have never left disappointed (i have natural arched eyebrows so i only get a clean up). In my opinion the pain level is basically the same as waxing (my eyebrows are thick so either way it hurts slightly) but threading is quick and they put aloe on after. I have no shame walking through the mall back to my car because I know my eyebrows are flawless and it was totally worth it. Threading does cost me a couple dollars more than waxing ($ 12) plus the tip, but I am always more than happy to pay the extra $$

I’m a guy, I like to get in and get out real quick without any problems. I haven’t had a bad experience and I have been going here before they even leased this section in the mall. They never went overboard on my brows and I’ve been satisfied with the quality and price of the work.
I’m relatively new to the whole eyebrow upkeep routine but I’ve let people experiment with wax and plucking on me before and threading seems so much more comfortable and quick.
Nice place, nice people, nice work, recommended!

I give up. I have grown my eyebrows out three times, gone in WITH A PHOTO, and they have given me the exact opposite of what I’ve asked for all 3 times. My eyebrows look like hell, and the woman that did them spoke such little English that she didn’t even understand that I was unhappy. All done.

So, I hate pain. No tattoos, no kids, I’m a wimp. When I got married 5 years ago, I got my first professional eyebrow shaping.
I did it in Watertown mall and it looked fabulous. The only thing, the pain was incomprehensible! I was so embarrassed shrieking and Unilocaling in the chair in the middle of the mall. Although it was spectacular, I couldn’t manage going ever again to have my brows tamed.
Fast forward to today! Well, I finally washed off some of my fears and figured I try this again. I went to thread spa this morning and explained my fear of pain to the lady, I think her name is Cecelia, she was calm and patient. It did hurt some, but not nearly as much as it did the first time. In under two minutes, she showed me what the first brow looked like… perfection! In under five minutes, she made my brows shapely and smooth. I’m so happy! Maybe I can keep this up now that the pain is tolerable. We’ll worth the 12 bucks and a tip.

– this is an update–
After I complained, the owner contacted me and resolve the issue.

Awful service, don’t know what they’re doing, and very racist and rude.

Wow! I really love this place! I use to pluck my own eyebrows for years. I even have had them waxed. So I thought I’d give The Threading Spa a whirl! This place has shaped up my eyebrows in about 4 months! They look amazing! The women here are super fast, quick and really sweet! I’m not going to lie. it hurts a little bit. But, you get use to it.
I’d give it 4 stars. But, one time I went in there and this was this older guy behind the guy taking money at the register who was just a jerk off. demanding money.Usually all the girls are super sweet. You may want dump the jack ass before you lose customers or teach him some manners…

My first time getting my eyebrows threaded and all I can say is. OUCH.
Okay that was an exaggeration, it wasn’t THAT bad. However I did mention that word a couple times as the lady was ripping my hairs with thin threads. The lady was was friendly and knew what she was doing. She did one eyebrow, handed me a mirror, get my approval, and went on to the other eyebrow. After five minutes (seriously!) of sitting in the chair, the results are clean, well groomed eyebrows and a happy camper!
If you like your eyebrows done precisely, then I recommend threading. I’ve never waxed my eyebrows before because I have the fear of having them ripped all off by accident, which has happened to a couple of my friends. Waxing causes wrinkles anyways so stick to threading!
The only bad things I would have to say is the pain. and the redness afterward. I’m a big baby when it comes to tweezing so I managed to suck it up that time. It did hurt to a point where I had to express my pain verbally. hence the «ouches» (that’s good I was at the store, not the booth) but it was over before I knew it. They put aloe on them after they were done but the redness stayed for a good 2 hours while i was shopping, which made me sorta paranoid as I was walking around the mall.
I also don’t recommend getting it done at the Cambridge Galleria. My friend got hers done there and it took half an hour AND she was in tears. Luckily she went the day before me so I was warned about it!
Lastly, the cost was only $ 12 (jaw dropper). Oh and the lady promised me it wouldn’t hurt as much next time since that was my first time (YAY). Okay threading spa, you’ll see me and my eyebrows soon!

I don’t know what got in to me but I decided to try my luck with threading this month. I’ve always waxed and before that I stood staring at myself in the mirror for hours with a pair of tweezers and a mission. The tweezing hours got old fast so I figured waxing would be less time consuming even if it was money out of my wallet. Last month my best guy friend texted me as I was sitting in a waiting area waiting for an eyebrow wax asking what I was doing. I was honest and he suggested I try threading because «he heard» it was better. He also said he «heard that there was an inexpensive place in the SSP» to get said threading. I’ll try anything once within reason…
This is a little kiosk in the middle of the mall right outside Macy’s and Aldo. There is a Bank of America ATM right next to it which is convenient since they only accept cash. I was prepared thanks to my fellow Unilocalers. :)
The process itself was pretty quick. It wasn’t painless but it wasn’t horrendously painful either. I mean I’m still alive to Unilocal about it. They woman that did my eyebrows for me was really nice and asked me if I was ok since my eyes were watering. In my defense, she asked me to hold my skin taught with my hands and I pressed alittle on my closed eye lid which caused the tearing. She also put aloe on it when she was done which is always nice. I do wear glasses so I didn’t notice that she missed a spot that I later tweezed when I got home.
I’ll probably go back again since it’s pretty cheap and its not that bad and my eyes weren’t nearly as puffy and red afterwards. And I don’t care about people seeing me getting my eyebrows done but I guess others might so just know there is no privacy. It’s literally in the middle of the mall walkway.

I’m upgrading to 5-​stars since the Threading Spa now has an actual store in the mall outside of Sears and more privacy.

The Threading Spa saved my life.
Okay, maybe not my life, but certainly my eyebrows. Prior to discovering The Threading Spa, I was a wax-​er, and then I pluck for maintenance until the shaping gets a bit funky, and then I go back for another wax.
Here’s the deal, there’s a booth with 3 seats. You sit in a chair, lean back, and close your eyes. They do their thread thing, comb your brows and train a bit. You sit up. Voila. Perfectly shaped brows all in about 5 – 10 minutes.
It is NOT weird that it’s in the middle of a mall. There’s a half wall, so it’s not completely exposed. Either way — you won’t even notice it. Get over yourself, no one is going to stare and/​or judge you. If anything, they’ll be curious and then jealous that your brows look fantastic.
At $ 12 (cash only), it’s average for threading. I will never, ever go back to waxing. Love these ladies.

Threading in a mall. To me, that’s all kinds of weird, particularly because people are walking by watching. But I was desperate and it was on the way to where we were going. So I took the mall threading plunge.
And so glad I did! I’ve done threading a few times in the Boston area and really just left unimpressed. Double the price for half as good a job as anywhere in NYC. No, thank you! So I barely threaded in Boston. If you’re a transplant like me, take heed, though. This place is fantastic! Yeah, it’s typical Boston prices but they did an absolutely phenomenal job that reminded me of the best I’ve had in NYC. I had the middle age to older lady do my eyes. It was quick, fairly painless and I looked awesome.
Best threading salon in the Boston area!

I chanced upon this push cart stall at South Shore Plaza near Crate and Barrel. Only $ 12 bucks for eye brow threading! It is more expensive than what I did back in Willowbrook Mall Rt46, NJ, but it is not bad! The only thing is u have to use your fingers to hold your forehead skin a little while when she works on your brow with the thread, so make sure u have those armpits plucked if you are wearing sleeveless.
I dunno which lady is the better one but I will try the ones whom bite the thread instead of the one not. I had mine done by the one not biting the thread and I think one brow is slightly higher than the other one. Slighly: P
But I will go back again for sure. cos no appt required and its cheap.

Would choose threading over wax ANY DAYY!
I love this place, your eyebrows always come out great, last way longer then wax and no red spots after its done! and its not painful.
The price went up since last year… but what can you do about it! supply and demand… and plus nail shop wax are about $ 12 too…
The fact that it is in the middle of the mall was definitly weird the first time, but it dont even bother me anymore. Really dont let that be the reason for you not to do it.
If you never tried it, YOU HAVE TOO! Seriously!
