Threading with Rani

Rani does magic!!! My eyebrows were not just BAD they were horrible — she fixed them in 10 min! She is super nice and friendly. Plus, best prices in DC and location is perfect. Must try!!!

She really is awesome at threading eyebrows, definitely not overrated. If you’re a student be sure to ask for the student discount!

Love!!! My brows every time I go see Rani. I’ve been going to Rani since I moved to DC over a year ago by reading the reviews I decided to go check her out. I lived in LA prior and only went to the best there so I had my standards up really high. Rani 1– will not let you leave until she fixes your brows as perfect as possible 2 — she gives you pointers on how to let them grow in areas where you need fill in 3 — she does Mocrobladding for those of us that need a little help to fill in our brows. I was her first Microbladding client and I offered to be her first one because I trust her artisan skills 100%. Someone wrote a review saying she is often late… I just want to say that if she might be running a few minutes late, it’s because people either show up late or she is back to back all day. Do you really want to go to a place where there is no line to see an eyebrow goddess? Her prices are actually in line (or on the cheap side relative to the quality work that she does). If you want a cheap thread Rani is way too good for you.

A lot of complaints are similar to mine. After being referred to Rani from a coworker I decided to give her a try. The first time I visited she seemed really nice. Gave me great pointers as to how i need to feel my eyebrows in however after my second and third visit i noticed her getting a bit more relaxed and not to mentioned annoyed! She took personal phone calls, her son was in the shop (which I would not mind) however he kept talking to her in the middle of doing my eyebrows! I’m paying for your undivided attention! My last straw had to be when she had her dog downstairs in the middle of her working! SMH this was unprofessional to say the least. As much as i want to give her another shot I simply can’t pay someone who seems to not care about her customers.

Does a great job with threading and shaping, but she is often late with appointments and/​or talking on the phone during appointments. Also, this is really pricey for an eyebrow threading, especially once tips are added. I would go more often if the price was better, but in between I «cheat» and go somewhere else to have them maintained, and just go back to Rani when they need the shaping done properly.
Overall: good work, but some improvements could be made.

Truly an eyebrow artist!
I have been going to Rani for over four years for eyebrow threading. She is absolutely amazing with a piece of thread. Rani always shapes my eyebrows perfectly, even when I cheat on her and go see another eyebrow threader in between our visits. Haha.
In the past month and a half, I have seen Rani twice for her new service of microblading; the second time was the touch up which I probably didn’t even need because the first time she did it they were perfect. I have been looking for eyebrow tattooing for a little over a year but never committed to going because I couldn’t find anyone skilled and trustworthy. I was so happy to hear that Rani was licensed to microblade which is so much better than getting a permanent eyebrow tattoo. With this technique, I no longer have to fill my eyebrows in every morning. I just wake up and they are there looking beautiful and so natural. She literally paints each strand so it looks like hair, not just a blob of pigment. And it matches my eyebrow color spot on! I will continue to go to Rani for all of my eyebrow needs. She makes me feel and look beautiful!

It’s out of the way for me, especially during rush hour but I am very pleased with the results so I’ll absolutely return. Having just moved to the area from Chicago I spent 3 months avoiding the task of finding a new eyebrow guru but I’m glad I finally found her.
Her threading method feels sort of like plucking in that she’s very precise, making sure she doesn’t take out too much hair and it feels like she’s literally extracting one strand at a time, so the process lasted longer than usual but the results are worth the wait. She also lets you see one eyebrow shape before completing both, which helps her adjust to your liking before it’s too late — something one of the other reviews mentioned. She’s receptive to feedback. If you’ve ever had a threader not listen to what you want, you know how frustrating that is but she took all my requests into consideration.
It’s pricier than any other eyebrow threading i’ve had. In Chicago it was $ 15… on the higher end but I know things are different here and if you’re like me and your eyebrows are the thing that makes or breaks your look, then it won’t matter as much.

If you guys are on the fence about trying this place out, do your brows a favor and go!
Location: Metered street parking is available along Wisconsin ave.
Service: Before she began threading we discussed what I wanted; to keep the same width but clean them up and shape them. She did just that! As soon as she finished the first brow I was in love. Honestly my eyebrows have not looked this good in a long time.
Price: I am a student so the price was $ 17 but for non students its $ 20. Very reasonable for such an amazing brow job.
Tip: I went during the week and got lucky that she had no clients but she did mention that its usually by appointment, so call ahead of time.

Rani is the BEST in DC!
I’ve been going to Rani for almost 3 years. Rani gives you the attention your eyebrows deserve, while in a nice and calming atmosphere. She is quick and I always leave feeling great!
I’ve gone to Dupont Threading and I always feel so rushed and I never really know what I’m getting. I promise she is worth booking the appointment!

Rani was very nice, and we discussed how to best maintain my brows as well as my skin in general. Very nice, and listened to what I wanted when I came in for my threading.

Believe the hype — she is a true artist.
I’d never tried threading before I went to Rani. It took me about 5 minutes to decide that I loved it enough to spend $ 22 per visit (and I am a cheapskate!). Three visits later, I’m not only a client, I’m a fan. She’s so fun to talk to… a real neighborhood treasure.
Do yourself a favor and stop hesitating. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

I just moved to Georgetown and was in desperate need to get my eyebrows shaped and cleaned up. I normally wax so I was a little hesitant to try threading. I went today to get my eyebrows threaded by Rani and it was such a good experience! She shaped my eyebrows to frame my face and even gave me some make-​up tips on how to properly shade and fill my eyebrows! I’m so happy I found her! I highly recommend her!

A few months after I moved to DC from NYC, I decided it was time to bite the bullet and give up on Unique (my favorite eyebrow threading place on 34^th street). I found this place via Unilocal and I’m glad. My brows were well shaped and she even gave me a fill-​in. I was pretty pleased with the service, even though it was about three times the price I would have paid in NYC.

Rani is a BROW GODDESS. She really takes her time and shapes your brows like ART.
AND she accepts venmo AND it’s only $ 17 for students. Seriously, could not be more perfect.

Rani threaded my eyebrows, however I went home immediately to add Anastasia Beverly Hills dip brow to fill in my brows a bit more. (I use a Hakuhodo brow brush) Note: I’ve been seeing Rani for the past couple of years and she’s kept my brows in great shape/​health. Your brows are on your face therefore one MUST keep them on «fleek» as they say. Go see Rani she is the eyebrow goddess & you won’t be disappointed. I should also probably mention that Rani is in the basement of the salon located in Glover Park. If you walk into the salon just ask for Rani and they’ll point you in the right direction.

I had an appointment early in the morning a week ago or so. I had a little wait which is perfectly fine with me. She took a few moments to look at my eyebrows asked a couple of questions and I told her I do not like them thin. She did a great job and I well def go back!

Rani is skilled, I will certainly give her that. I was always happy with my eyebrows and she gave me some useful tips on growing back thin spots I’d over plucked.
I stopped going to her though because I always ended up waiting far beyond my appointment time and she consistently took personal phone calls during my service without explanation and sometimes without apology. One visit, after waiting 15 minutes after my appointment time, I sat awkwardly while she proceeded to have an extended social chat with a coworker without even acknowledging me. I had set aside my lunch hour to get my eyebrows cleaned up and even though I worked just down the street, I was late getting back. Kind of ridiculous if you ask me. I just don’t think that’s a courteous or professional way to run a business.

I thought she did a good job, was prompt and professional. The entire process was quick and nearly painless, which is saying a lot in the area of brow grooming. Definitely recommend.

Rani is amazing! When I first moved to NOVA, I would drive out of the way to get my brows done from her. Lately, I have been going to a place near work and while the lady there is great, I miss how wonderful my brows looked with Rani. I think it’s time for a visit.
If you plan on going during the weekend, definitely make an appt. She’s very busy on Saturdays.

Listen. Rani is a goddess and I can’t let anyone else touch my brows.
At first I thought I was being ridiculous and maybe I could get the look she gave me from any place. This is why I shouldn’t argue with my «last minute, don’t have time to get to Georgetown panic» self. Because of conflicting schedules and the fact that Guven is truly out of the way, there were times I couldn’t get to her and so I tried my old waxing lady and also the threading place in the mall. No. I’m now back in the awkward growing out phase waiting until the next time rani can, quite literally, transform my face.
I can’t say this for every visit but when your brows are all grown out she really takes her time to discuss your shape and frame your face. After some of my visits with her I have stopped wearing makeup for a stretch of time because I want to enjoy that natural, clean yet sculpted look she’s created. Ah, rani. Never leave.
