First time here AND my first time threading/anything with my eyebrows besides tweezing. Angela is GREAT. Her technique stung a bit but definitely not painful and she kept my brows thick like I asked. I also got a bikini wax and it was very affordable. Another plus? I was able to score an appointment the same day and was in and out within 20 mins--although to be fair it was 230pm on a Friday. Will be back! read more

Starting with the good: speedy, walk-ins welcomed, and reasonably priced at $14 for brow threading. The bad: I wasn't asked any questions about the shape or even service that I was there for, she just started hacking away at my brows. Thankfully I was indeed there for brow threading, but the shape & thickness of my brows were compromised. Perhaps it is because she finished my brows at closing time (7pm on the dot) and there was another walk-in waiting to do her brows and sideburns? I walked in with full brows and only wanted them to be cleaned up, but was okay with losing some fullness if the shape improved (not that she bothered to ask). I walked out with uneven eyebrows that are much too thin so there's no option other than to even them out with make up while my left brow grows back in and eventually is reshaped to match. read more

My family and I are visiting from out of town. I needed my eyebrows threaded, badly. We visiting Howard University and Columbia Threading is 2 min down the block, actually it can be considered as across the street. I got my eyebrows threaded by Angela who was a delight. She was quick and painless. This was very impressive because I have not had my eyebrows threaded in about 6 months. Normally after waiting so long I would be clinching my teeth and jaws each thread. I did not feel a thing, and it took her all of 5 min. Wow! I had to ask her what kind of thread she used. It's organic thread. Angela is worth every dollar! If I ever visit again I will def stop by to visit Angela! Thank you, Angela! read more

Happy Friday! Started off my Friday with a trip to Columbia Threading, and boy what a great experience I had. My boyfriend and I are in DC for a staycation (a great way for a change of environment may I add!) and as we have a dinner date scheduled for later tonight, I figured I would do some self care today. I actually was looking for a hair store to pick up some products, and when I left the store, I stumbled upon this place which was right next door. Its like the universe was looking out for your girl. I went in and automatically felt warm vibes! The ladies there are pleasant, and one of them named Angela, is a sweetheart. We chatted a little bit while she did her work, and she took her time!! Made sure it was to my liking. One thing I really like about her technique is that she likes to keep her clients eyebrows full without thinning it out too much, all the while creating the arch that we all know and love. Very European-esque. I will for sure be back as a repeat customer! read more

The reviews below brought me here today without much thought or hesitation! Esp will most comments from other women of color. But quite honestly, I must say after many threading experiences, this has to be the worst eye brow turn out for me. My eyebrows are naturally thick and full so I'm really not hard to please, but I barely look as if I gotten anything done. When I entered there were 3 people in front of me. She moves really fast but usually when that's the case the person does a great job. I looked at one of the brows ladies before me and I didn't really like it but it didn't stop me from getting in the seat. I would say $10 for threading is a great price but I will not be back. read more

However, when she showed me my brows... When she showed me my brows! I nearly fell out of the chair. They are beautiful. I told her all I wanted was a clean up and a shape.

This was my first time here and the lady (I didn't get her name) was so sweet. As everyone else has been saying, the brow threading is quick and relatively painless compared to other places. I asked her to arch them, which she did, and she didn't make them too thin. I'm picky about my brows but I feel like she did a great job. I really like them! The cost of brow threading is normally $10 but with the first time customer coupon is was 10% off ($9). I definietely will be coming back :) read more

This is my go-to establishment for my brows. I'm extremely particular about the look of my brows, and have been ever since the pencil-thin look when out, and the thick more natural look is in. I do not trust anyone with my brows, and any tiny mistake will typically result in me never re-visiting your establishment again. Columbia Threading is the best the city has to offer. My favorite brow artist is Angela. She understands the look I'm like to achieve, is extremely patient and gentle. She's never made a mistake on my brows, and I get tons of compliments. You should really do yourself a favor and check this place out, you won't regret it -- oh and it's super affordable! read more

After coming home to take a good look at my eyebrows, I HAD to make a post. This is my very first time experiencing eyebrow threading so I didn't know what to expect. So, I made an appointment via Yelp and quickly received a response. Once I arrived, I was quickly greeted by Angela. She was so nice and her customer service was impeccable. My eyebrows are missing pieces of hair here and there, I knew they were not going to look like the other gorgeous women in the pictures. I believe I sat in the chair no more than 3-5 minutes for my service before being handed a mirror to check her work. After inspecting my brows after I got home, I was amazed. She did an amazing job. read more

Her space is a little hole in the wall right off of Georgia, but I can always find parking on the side streets near it. She charges $12 for eyebrows and has never disappointed. She always checks with you after to make sure you are happy, and he genuinely wants to give you the look you want. If you want any touch ups she is happy to make them. She offers rose water after the threading and it really helps with the redness and sensitivity. read more

I love and appreciate Columbia Threading. Being a DC native I try to find all my upkeep places within the District..I came across Columbia Threading on Yelp and the reviews lured me in but the service and quality has made me a returning customer! The owner is so sweet, and detailed. She doesn't just ask how you want your brows..she will access the state of your brows and give you feedback before she starts. That put me at ease that she was threading my eyebrows not just based on my request but based on my particular brows and face. She does great providing natural, thick but manicured brows which is my preference and she is quick, and I am not sure if it is just me but it is far more painless than other threaders I have gone to. The price is already great but they also offer a loyalty card for returning customers. I am so happy to have found this little gem and will continue to return and support this small business. Don't hesitate..just go..you won't regret it. :) read more

I was getting lash removal & a new set of classic/hybrid lashes. I've been getting eyelash extensions for 13 years and this is by far the worst experience I've ever had. They were thin, whispy, pre-made fans that were poorly glued onto only some of my lashes. They started falling off almost immediately, and there were visible white clumps of glue that a friend pointed out because she thought I had crumbs on my eyes. One week later when I went to another eyelash studio, they couldn't even tell I had any extensions on until they put me under the lights. I would've been better off just curling my own lashes & using mascara because mine are thicker & longer than whatever they used. I've never had such poor quality.

I received a massage form one masseuse, thought it was good, and so I went back for a second with the same individual. The second time, I was deeply unimpressed.

So for my third session, I decided to try someone different: Ronnie. And Ronnie was amazing. He incorporated so many different techniques, including stretching, and threw in some extras like heat and aroma, even going a little over time. I would definitely book Ronnie again. It is a shame that there's no way to tell on the app (that I could see) what type of massage each masseuse specializes in, so you could select one who matches your preferences.

I opted out (though it was free) because I just didn't feel comfortable walking through the gym area in a robe. There is also some sort of service elevator in the spa area just next to the spa front desk; there was so much ruckus and commotion coming from that area that it was hard to embrace the serenity of the waiting area. The waiting area played some relaxing music and had some ambient lighting. They also provided light refreshments such as infused water and hot tea. I came with a few friends (4 of us including myself) as we were celebrating a birthday. The spa staff was so kind to open a bottle of complimentary champagne and provide fresh strawberries for us in the waiting area as well. My friend called the spa a week prior to book our services and we were split into different appointments times- two people receiving massages during one hour and one person receiving a facial, then the next hour two people getting massages. Because the rooms are directly accessible to the waiting area, you can pretty much hear everything so I heard my friends through the door. Toey was my masseur and she was phenomenal (easily a 10/10). She asked me at the beginning where my problem areas were and where she should focus, and I had her focus on my neck and shoulders as I hold all of my tension there. I requested an hour long Swedish with medium pressure. I was provided complimentary aromatherapy oil in the massage so that was a very nice touch. She massaged my scalp too which was sooo needed. From my head to my toes, she covered it. I felt so much relief at the end of my massage especially because she made sure she spent enough time on my problem area. Absolutely great massage. The gentleman who works the front desk (I think his name was John but I can't remember, sorry!!) was also so kind. He was the one who brought out the refreshments and was periodically checking on me while I was waiting for my service. While the location is not ideal, the service was wonderful. I was pleased with my experience here. The only reason for my 4 stars is only because of the location. Tip: if you have long hair, don't forget to bring a hair tie!

I've gotten full face threading done at both the 18th Street and Pennsylvania Ave locations and had great experiences at both. I've also gotten my lashes lifted at the Pennsylvania Ave location and was so pleased with them that I trusted them to give my mom her first lash lift; she was in LOVE with the results and felt so comfortable with the entire experience (despite generally feeling a bit nervous about trying new things like that) because the tech was so communicative and created such a comfortable environment. I particularly love Natasha Auntie (18th Street location), but I've had a great experience with everyone who has done my eyebrows and am so grateful to them for always helping me look and feel great!

The nail technician (male) who worked on my naturally healthy nails did a poor job. The process took much longer than necessary, and without my request, he applied gel builder, which I didn't want or need. Typically, my gel manicures last at least three weeks without any issues at all, but this one barely made it a week before breaking and chipping. The finish was also noticeably bumpy, far from the smooth, polished look I expect from a professional manicure. I've attached photos to show the subpar results. While the ambiance and staff friendliness were highlights, the quality of the gel manicure itself was a huge letdown.

This salon is huge and has excellent service. I went for a walk in with limited time and they were…read moreexcellent at taking me immediately and sticking to my specific timeframe. I absolutely would go back as it's very convenient to my office!

Not terribly hard to find but just keep that in mind when booking -- you may have to poke around a little. She does send directions prior to the appointment, too. She has early appointments, so it's convenient for different schedules. I think her price is one of the best I've seen for the area and is top quality.
