Monica’s Threading Salon

The customer service here is great! They welcome you with smiles and make small talk with you. The eyebrows come out gorgeous and they’re actually gentle. When they apply aloe they don’t just wipe it they actually massage your eyebrows/​temple. I was very pleased and will come back.

I’ve been coming here for Sarika for over three years now, and I can go nowhere else now. She makes my eyebrows look so good, and I feel confident that she’ll do a great job every time. I only go to Sarika, but I know all the ladies are great. I’ve turned several friends on to brow threading here!

$ 6 for a beautiful, clean, and precise threading.
Adorned by a few simple chairs, this place is completely unassuming. One of the ladies got to work on my burly brows that had really started to take on the shape of two slugs fighting to become one.
I assisted by pulling my eyelid down, and YEEEEEEESH, it felt like sharp razor blades slicing my skin. Luckily, the torture was soon over, and the artist smoothed lotion on my freshly groomed brows. The results were fabulous. I left the joint with two distinct eyebrows and beautiful arches.

There is nothing worse than over plucked, over shaped eyebrows. As someone with eyebrows that are on the thick side, with areas that are sparse, I always have an issue with threading salons plucking out way too much hair. The natural clean look is much more my style. This small threading salon does a great job at maintaining your brows natural shape while cleaning them up a bit so you don’t look like Frida Kahlo. They really listen to what you have to say and give advise as to what may work better with your shape. They also have waxing services and facials.
Like most threading salons they have a stamp card. Every 10^th eyebrow threading is free!
Tip: Be specific and ask for there opinion. They will let you check to see if you like the way your brows look every step of the way so you make sure they’re to your liking.

I always come out with perfect brows when I visit this shop. They are quick and efficient. The wait is minimal and the workers are friendly. The prices are good too. Not much bad to say other than it could use a little face lift. The shop itself looks a little beat down.

Been going here for 2+ years now. Eye brows always come out great and the black head facial is the best for only $ 25! Excellent customer service and very clean.

I usually go there for treading, and at that they do a great job. I went on Sunday and the lady that was in that day suggested to get an acne facial as my face was breaking out lately due to stress from work… On Wednesday I decided to stop by after work. and went in and a different lady from Sunday was there. She was not in a good mood I guess because she didn’t even great me when I came in, she was sitting down and while looking at her magazine asked what I needed.
I told her I would like a facial, she asked which one… so I asked what options she had. she showed be a card which had all of them listed… I chose European acne facial listed for $ 65 for 60minutes… she asked me to follow her to the room. she handed me a dirty robe and asked me to wait for her. I kind of was expecting how the facial would turn out when I saw the robe…
I put it on and waited for her to come back. after waiting 10 minutes I see her from the door she’s sitting down reading her magazine… I saw a customer come in and ask for treading so I didn’t call her and waited for the customer to leave.
10 minutes after she comes over to see me. and she asks why are you not laying under the steam??? I told her that I was expecting for her to clean my face before the steam.
She started at 6:30 pm, with the ‘facial’ she first used cleaner which felt like hand soap and as the steam was going then cleaned my face with a wet paper towel. She the applied what seemed to be a toner/astringent.and again another wet paper towel. .
She then went onto the extraction. .which was only done on my nose. she then used the paper towel one more time… and massaged my face. the massage was not bad but less then 5 minute… she then applied a mask covered my eye lids with paper and told me not to move. .she turned the lights off and left the room.
After a while came back removed the mask with the damp towel, massages my arms… and said thank you thats it…:(it was 7:08 pm
I told her that was not 60 mins, she said no its 40 – 45 I misread. it was another facial that was an hour. I got dressed and followed her to the front. I should her the card where it said 60 minutes and her explantion was oh that’s for the people that need bleaching you don’t need that. so why not mention that at the beginning.
overall very disappointed with their facials. but I would go back only for their threading

Okay, I must change my review ratings. I hope the degraded quality is only a temorary issue. The last couple of visits have left me extremely dissatisfied. Results have been subpar: eyebrows that didn’t match and were not shaped well. After one visit, I had bald spots and had to resort to using an eyebrow pencil to fill in. The old staff needs to return.
So, I’m on the hunt for a neighborhood threading salon. Meanwhile, I’ll return to Shobha, where I’ll pay more but leave satisfied.

I have had a positive experience every visit. Granted I only go for eyebrow and lip threading. There is never much of a wait and they are very inexpensive. This is a no frills shop, you get what you pay for. If you want fancy chairs and décor expect to pay more elsewhere. The service is what I look for and I have always walked out happy.

There are not enough good things to say about Monica’s
The quality of work is phenomenal; they are quick but thorough.
The staff is very friendly.
Oh and $ 10 for lip and eyebrow threading?!
If things stay this good, consider me a customer for life.

While there are plenty of salons in the neighborhood, this place has been here for a LONG time and is the ONLY salon I would ever go to for my eyebrows AND Sarita is the best threader I have ever been to! She cares about her work, does a clean and fast job. Everyone who works here is so nice and friendly. The price is right and the location is great. GO!

They do a clean neat job for $ 6. If you get 6 eyebrow threadings
the 7^th is free. The ladies are very friendly too.

Hidden gem in the hood. Much better shaping than Meena in Midtown or Shohba.

Update: hit and miss, hit and miss. Now I have had a bunch of different experiences here: my advice is that there are really great people who work there (the younger ones in my experience) but there are people who do a half a** job and aren’t very good. I stick to the two that I know and they are great! But beware, depends on who you get.

My eyebrows were monstrous. I mean really really bad in all seriousness. The misalignment was clearly noticeable, and couple of my friends noted it. So instead of being the usual cheapo that I am who likes to tweeze her own at home, I decide to tread once more to the threading salon *note my last visit was last summer, lol. The woman did a fantastic job, I can’t remember her name. But I was impressed nevertheless, and she did it way faster than my past experiences elsewhere. All of that for $ 6, there can’t be a better deal.
Save yourself some money by not spending 4.50 on a metrocard to go into the city to get it done, everything can be just as well be done in brooklyn — for so much less.

Wow!
Don’t be deterred by the décor, or florescent lights in the window.
Monica’s is amazing. Fast, friendly & was absolutely fantastic!
;)

I’ve been getting my eyebrows threaded and facials done here for almost two years. They do a very thorough job, are attentive and sweet, and charge much less than most places in Brooklyn or the city. Their facials are good, though sometimes you have to shower off some of the residual herbal products from your hairline and neck. Overall, highly recommended!

love and love! only ladies aloud to touch my big bushy brows! Thanks for stellar grooming and shaping!

I’ve been going to Shobha in Manhattan for years, but I was pressed for time and figured I would try something in my neighborhood. I’m super hesitant to do anything different when it comes to people touching my face, but I was very pleasantly surprised.
My eyebrows look great — they even trimmed them with the little scissors which most places forget. My eyebrows are two different shapes which usually ends in disaster but she did an amazing job of getting it right.
Even better, it cost me $ 6 — compared to my usual $ 20.
This will def be my new go-​to spot.

I’ve only gotten threading done but every single time I have had nothing but a great experience. The ladies are extremely friendly and informative. They do a great job on eyebrows and I assume their facial is just as thorough. Thumbs up!
