I stopped in to Boom Boom Brow Bar to see if my eyebrows were ready for a treatment. I met with Emily who explained the brow process, patiently answered my questions and was just so sweet. She said the wax they use they make in-house and it is specifically for sensitive skin, which is so awesome. I am looking forward to going back and getting my brows done here. The place is beautiful and clean inside and I trust who was going to do my brows. :) read more

Kate she did a great job on my eyebrows. I recommend you guys coming to her. And she also needs a raise ASAP.

One of my eye brows was thicker than the other. Emily immediately knew what to do. She did an excellent job of shaping my brows. I look so much better. It really changed my overall look. Thank you Emily! read more

Walked in a bit unsure of what I needed. Emily was extremely helpful and I walked out with perfect brows!

Kavona is the best at eyebrows! I wouldn't go with anyone else. No appointment needed. You can just walk right in and they'll take you on the spot. read more

Katana was not only kind but did an amazing job! She was also super efficient and the brows turned out great. Definitely will be back soon.

Everyone is great but I love having my eyebrows plucked/tweezed by Kavona. She's meticulous and a perfectionist. She also has a wonderful personality so it's always nice to sit in her chair and catch up. read more

Kavona!! She is the best. I won't use anyone else... she cares and really takes her time. Walked out feeling confident after a brow tint and tweeze. read more

Omg!!!!!! They are miracle workers. I came in for a brow tint and wax and I left with perfect brows. I cannot recommend Boom Boom enough. It's also so cute and has a fun, friendly vibe. I'll be back. read more

Had a wonderful experience at Boom Boom Brow Bar, which is located conveniently by the W4th train station. The customer service was amazing, and I was immediately attended to upon entering the brow bar. They did an amazing job on my eyebrow wax and tint. Definitely come here if you want your brows on point! They also offer other services such as lash perms, and microblading. read more

I came here for 12 years religiously before moving out of NYC. Malynda was my go-to, she got my eyebrows into amazing shape for my wedding in 2010 when she was there regularly. I mean, I have been raving about this place for years. I was back in the city after moving away in 2020 and went in for a tint and wax and it was sadly my first disappointing visit. I was getting a tint and the woman (I didn't catch her name) told me it would be in for 5-10 minutes. Normal. 15 minutes later, the dye is burning my skin and the woman who applied it has moved on - in that time she tinted someone and started waxing them - and then started tinting and waxing another person! Another very nice woman Aysha comes over and takes the tint off me when she could see I was uncomfortable and getting impatient. While this is happening, the original woman is completely ignoring me. Did I offend her somehow? I have no idea. Aysha ended up doing my wax after she finished another woman (who came in significantly after me, also got tint and wax). Aysha was kind but she ended up lifting my skin over one eye - and now I get to walk around like this for the next few days. I'm not on medications anymore that would cause this and I can't say I'll ever be able to go back. I left it at 2 stars because I used to love it here. read more

Boom Boom Brow Bar - My right eye area the day after. - Waxing Near Me - New York, New York

I went here a few times and found the service to be fine but nothing special. However, on my most recent visit I used the bathroom for the first time. The below sign was hung on not one, but two different walls in the bathroom. I was appalled. I gently told the staff I found the language surprising and offensive. Their response was to laugh and blame their "boss's crazy sense of humor." This is an establishment that primarily serves young women, a good portion of whom likely have faced/are facing an unwanted pregnancy, have mourned/are mourning a miscarriage, or tried/are trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant. Whatever the angle, I cannot see any way a sign with a joke about flushing babies down a toilet is funny. I don't think the offensiveness of this sign has anything to do with politics or PC policing. It's just grossly insensitive. read more

Boom Boom Brow Bar - Waxing Near Me - New York, New York

This place is a disaster. I wish I went on yelp before even considering this place. My eyebrows look the same smh ‍ the only difference is that they're burning. I got tint and there's so much space and empty areas which should be covered when getting a tint. Across from me someone was also complaining about their brows. Stay away from this place. It's a waste of money and they are clueless. read more

i used to love coming here but i just left crying. my eyebrows are soo botched. one is thinner than the other and the tint and shape are uneven. no offense but idk how u could be so bad at ur job. the worst part is i paid $60. they used to charge $45 for brow tint and wax. like that is so ridiculous. she didn't even clean up my brows after. i knew it was gonna be bad as soon as she put the tint on. pls save ur money. i am never coming back here. :( p.s. when i got home i discovered wax in my hair and still some on my face. also a lot of dye came off which shows how she literally didn't clean them at all after. like what read more

Been a regular at their spot on 7th ave. Last time they bruised my eye lid so badly I stayed home for 3 days till it turned to scab. Yet decided to give them another chance this time on Greenwhich ave...what a mistake! They must use crazy glue instead of wax. I am bruised now in both eye lids. Must be a new person who isn't trained well. Stay away !!!! By the time those bruises will go away i will be due for another brow job. So not cool read more

After an eyebrow catastrophe at Benefit before my best friend's wedding, Terrell saved me and my brows! He is a gem

I walked into this place spontaneously today after seeing a sign that read "Voted Best Brows in NYC," or something along those lines. I had been meaning to shape up my brows that have thinned and not been as lush and shapely as they had been in years past. I decided to walk in with my son on a whim. We were sort of greeted by staff and I was very warm and friendly and broke the ice by saying, "I heard you guys do the best brows in NYC!" The staffer reluctantly agreed. Ok, that fell flat. So then I told her what I wanted, and what I was working with. She asked, "Are they currently filled in?" I replied yes, as there was pencil on them and some brow gel. I said, "But I'd love to see what you can do." "Oooookayyy... well... I guess have a seat and I can take a look." This is her reply. She seemed so uncomfortable and hesitant and it was extremely off putting. If you're allegedly the best at brows in the city, then talking brows should be second nature. Instead it was the most awkward interaction possible. Noticing that the vibe was not getting better, I said, "You know on second thought, never mind." I could hardly get the sentence out. She said "OKAY!!!" so fast that it was ridiculous. She was ecstatic for me to leave. As I walked out, puzzled and annoyed, I noticed her talking about me to her coworker as I watched through the window. Don't go here. Especially if you're a black woman. They should be put out of business. read more

I had a GREAT experience at Boom Boom Brow Bar. I walked in looking like Andy Rooney, walked out a reborn lady with striking brows. The owner is gifted and was incredibly professional. Boom Boom Brow Bar is now my go-to salon for all things "brow." read more

I went to boom boom brow bar a couple of months ago and they did a fabulous brow tattoo!! I'm going back tomorrow for another or possible microblading Super expert service and fast! read more

I walk by all the time so thought I'd stop in to support a local business. Service was friendly but sadly the actual waxing was not very good for this price point. I had requested a clean up around my brows, maintaining the current shape. Left with the upper part of my brows completely gone, totally altering the shape. Additionally, one side is much thinner than the other. I tried to mention I was unhappy about them being uneven before leaving, but she was pretty dismissive. Brows will grow back and life will go on, but all in all pretty on-brand experience for 2020. Won't be returning unfortunately. read more

I would have given this place 4 or 5 stars until my experience took a total nosedive. I came in to get my brows dyed for the first time, and was told it costs $20. After coloring, the girl asked "Want me to just clean up the edges?" and I said yea sure, expecting a little tweezing... and then unexpectedly she started waxing. I wish she told me she was about to wax, because I was on lunch break and had to go back to work at my store with a VERY red forehead. I go to the register to be checked out, and instead of the agreed $20, I'm charged $44 for color AND WAX ! And I said "But she said she was just cleaning up the edges, I didn't ask for a wax" and this other girl at the the register said in the bitchiest, unprofessional tone "WELL A WAX IS A WAX". I was like Wow... I wanted to dispute this further, but the store was getting crowded and I felt rushed out, and I was running late for work. I feel disgusted with my service and will recommend my friends don't go here ! I really wanted to tell the register girl "WELL A BITCH IS A BITCH" read more

I was stopped on the street and complemented by a stranger about the beauty of my.....hair (nope), ass (wouldn't that be nice), legs (not even close), breasts (could you imagine if that actually happened? I would be a combo of horrified and flattered)...no no no. I was stopped on the street and complemented on my eye brows. And this is not the first time a perfect stranger commented on my brows, just last night I was getting a facial and the aestician was telling me my pores are too big but my brows are perfect. I must admit I would much rather be a size 2 (who am I kidding I'll take a size 10) who gets complemented on my hair, legs, ass or even my breasts but what I was given in the beauty gene pool was facial hair that is sculptable. I would like to send my thanks for this beauty signature to two contributing factors - my Dad who still wears my original brow and Boom Boom Beauty Bar who created the brows that get the red carpet attention. When you walk into Boom Boom you are among the diva's and it is the diva who knows the power of a perfectly sculpted brow. Boom Boom shouts drama with their décor and their skill. You know you are in the best place to have eye enhancing brows when you walk in the door and there is more then one disco ball, hot pink thongs and pantyhose hanging from chandeliers, a wall of Hall of Fame brows (my picture will be added soon I'm sure) and a wishing wall displaying index cards with brightly colored wishes such as "more sex please". Boom Boom knows that the world needs a bit of "fabulousness" and your eyes are a great place to target those efforts. So if your dress size, ass, legs or hair wont get you attention from gentleman callers try enhancing your brows and stop in at Boom Boom. read more

Boom Boom reached out to me via e-mail asking for feedback and was offering up a free brow tint for your feedback. I'm not posting this review because they did NOT respond back to me with the free brow tint, but because if you run a company and ask for feedback, then address you client's concerns. Because I heard nothing back from them, I am posting the feedback I provided: So I tried Boom Boom Brow Bar mainly because I wanted to see how you all measured up against Benefit Brow Bar where I have been going for years. To give you my true feedback, I have organized this according to pros/cons Pros -I love the space! It is very girly, whimsical, and I felt great immediately upon walking in. -The prices are very competitive if not better than Benefit, especially with the Happy Hour deals! -The technicians, I liked the fact that every person in there can actually do brows. In Benefit, you need to wait specifically for a brow technician as some of the employees are only makeup artists -The birthday special, very awesome that you offer the free birthday brow wax! And now unto the cons Cons -The actual wax itself, let me explain here. I got a brow wax/brow tint combo. The brow wax was good, but it honestly was not the best brow shaping I have ever had. I really feel like Benefit has you guys upped one here. The technician was nice, polite, and obviously skilled, but she did not wow me with my brow shaping. I felt like much consideration was not given to the actual shape of my face, and what would be the shape to best accentuate that. In terms of the tint, again it wasn't the darkest most robust tinting I have ever had. The color was fine, but I felt like the tint used at Benefit really made the shape of my eyes pop. -No makeup application after. For some people, they are a bit red/irritated after a brow wax, and having a makeup application after is a great service to offer! I look forward to getting my brows waxed and then having the quick makeup touch up that again Benefit offers. -No appointments. I'm not sure why you all don't offer appointments? I like the certainty of knowing I can walk in for my appointment and leave vs. not knowing how many women will be ahead of me when I walk in. I hate to keep mentioning this, but again Benefit offers appointments! I hope this feedback was helpful and I would give Boom Boom Brow Bar another chance again. I actually am due for a brow wax and tint right now! read more

OK, so, you're probably looking at my previous review and wondering how I could go from 2 stars to 4. Well, this is what we should all love about America, life and Yelp. EVERYONE GETS SECOND CHANCES! I decided to go back to Boom Boom and give it another chance. Also, they're very close to my home and pretty reasonably priced for such a clean, cute space. I'm pretty sure that I had Tammy again, but she was in great spirits and did an awesome job. She was very gentle and careful with my brows, not even any redness. And as for my bikini, let's just say my husband is very happy. But, I would like to add, that I think it would be really awesome if in some imaginary scenario they would turn Boom Boom Brows into an S&M dungeon at night. The thought of women ripping hair off of squirming, squealing men makes me giggle. read more

This was my first time ever having anything professionally done to my eyebrows and it was an amazing experience!! After doing research for hours online, I settled on here because it was close to my house and had great reviews. I was not disappointed! I walked in around 1:15 on a Monday and was the only one in the store - by the time I left around 1:45 things were a little crowded but no one was waiting for that long! Jessica both tinted and then waxed my brows and was amazing! She listened to what I wanted done, made some suggestions and made sure to check the tint 5 minutes in so that it didn't get too dark. I was worried about being waxed because I had never done that before but she called me down and was so nice about it! Worth every penny! Also - tipping is cash only but there's an ATM in the Duane reade next door. read more

Boom Boom Brow Bar - Before (top) and after (bottom) waxing and tinting - Waxing Near Me - New York, New York

I naturally have dark eyebrows and my motive for tinting isn't necessarily to make them any darker, rather to make them look fuller. My girlfriend told me about Boom Boom and said they were great and would help get me that "fuller" eye brow look without looking TOO full (I love Brooke Shields but those brows would not compliment my face!). Anywho, I went to the Boom and the service was great-- the tinting "procedure" was quick (about 10 minutes), price was nominal ($8-$10) and my brows looked great! Its been 2 weeks and I'm going back this afternoon for another tint before my friends bachelorette party. Maybe I'll get a shaping too?! read more

Boom Boom Brow Bar - Freshly Tinted Brows - Waxing Near Me - New York, New York

- recommend: Melinda - very personable, helpful, and professional staff - comfortable setting - adorable pup - priciest eyebrow wax I've ever had but they know their stuff, at this point I'll just tweeze to maintain it - they actually listen to and follow your instructions, which I cannot emphasize enough as being a rare find read more

I thought Boom Boom would be the answer to all my future brow needs. The shop is cute, with a kitschy glam vibe complete with chandeliers and disco balls. However, the service wasn't the greatest. I had originally requested someone, and wasn't told she won't be working the day I went, so was paired with someone at the last minute, who seemed a total novice. I got a Rehab Brow Wax + Brow Tint for $50, which is fair priced for the city. The eyebrow wax took all of 3 minutes though. I wasn't sure she knew what she was doing. The eyebrow tint needed to set, so there was a bit of downtime with me, but the girl didn't ask if I needed anything or really all that engaging. She began flipping through a magazine as my brows were setting! How professional? I chatted with the owner of the place instead, who was sprawled on a chaise lounge with her terrier dog, which I found very quirky (this is a salon after all). My end results were surprisingly good though, if a little harsh for my face. The eyebrow tint mellowed down after a few days thankfully. But for the service I received, I'd definitely go somewhere else. read more

If you have thick brows and scared to get them waxed or cleaned up -- GO here!! They are amazing! If I ever leave NYC I will fly in to get my brows done by then. read more

I'm usually an Anastasia brow bar strict regular, but after constant failure of getting a convenient appointment, I went to try BoomBoomBrow. It took out the inconvenience of Anastasia, with the same quality! No wait (no appointments, yay) and was super quick. Nicole did my brows -- I gave her a 2 sentence rundown of my unevenly grown out brows, and she totally knew where to go from there. I'll admit, I was super skeptical at first. I felt tweezed more than usual, but every brow place does things differently. BoomBoomBrow was great altogether. read more

I have been going to Boom Boom Brow Bar for wax and tint over 5-6 years now and they are hands down the best! I live in Hoboken and travel to the city to see Caitlin, she is amazing. I 100% recommend this place, everyone is so sweet and accommodating. For being walk-ins only, they are also super quick. read more

Awesome experience at Boom Boom - I came in thinking I wanted a tweeze and tint but it turns out awesome results were achieved with a wax. Julie was very meticulous and the wax definitely hurt less than other places I've gotten it before. The salon is cute and cozy and although it seems like I came during a rush hour (around 6 PM), I only had to wait about 10 minutes. I will definitely be back! read more

This is a cool spot, However after leaving and paying what I did it was not worth it at all. My eyebrow stylist was amazing and provided the best customer service. My eyebrows look exactly like they did before walking into this place. This was my personal experience. read more

This place has really gone down hill, and the worst part is that the owner genuinely doesn't seem to care. They seem to experience constant turnover, and the quality is entirely dependent on who you get. The problem is once you find someone you like, chances are they'll be gone next time you go in. I went in the other day and the owner was standing right next to me while the girl doing my eyebrows was making mistakes left and right. The owner looked over and she could see how upset I was, but she didn't say a word to me either during the appointment or after when I paid a whopping $60! Quality? No good. Customer service? No good. Cost? No good. All in all, it's really worth avoiding. read more

I have been going to boom boom for several years Every time I find the right person , they leave. I went last week to a girl to have a eyelas tint I have been doing this for years. She was so incompetent!!!! At the end , She washed my eyes as if she had never done this procedure before. It looked as if it was never done. It's dangerous to have someone like that do your lashes . I woke up the next day with a rash on my right brow. She was taking the cash at the front desk , and then not wearing gloves. A disaster. BEWARE read more

Julie is the master!! She tinted and waxed... I questioned her precision shaping and without the slightest quiver of annoyance said she could take a little more off, but then explained how the current shaping opened up my features. I did feel like the shape was super crisp so I decided to accept it. When I got home and just glanced at my face I saw exactly what she was talking about, and felt so confident immediately with my no-makeup look. I've been a happy customer, coming here for years to prep for professional photos and personal events. I felt especially taken care of by Julie as well as the rest of the sweet staff on this visit. read more

Have always had good experiences here. Great place to go for a brow tint and Aysha did a great job. Good price point for the area and good results. read more

Paid 33 dollars for eyebrow tweezing, was done in less than 5 minutes. The stylist did not ask me what I wanted and just started quickly tweezing away. When I got home and looked in the mirror I noticed how my brows were asymmetrical. I was most disappointed by their shape: basically none. I had waited a long time to grow my eyebrows only to see them now shortened to two short little lines. Won't be returning here. I think for the price the quality and attention paid to the customer's efforts should be much better. Just want to add my stylist's name is Nicole - not sure about the quality of the other ladies' work here. read more

Lindsey is amazing. Cleaned up and shaped my brows beautifully while still keeping them thick. Couldn't be happier I stopped in! Will definitely be back! read more
