I'm so glad I found Dolma. Her salon is tiny, clean, comfortable and private. She's very pleasant and her skills are amazing. There was no pain at all. My waxing was actually relaxing! read more

People always complimented my hair, so when stress and a thyroid condition started to take a toll on my locks, I looked for natural ways to keep my hair thick and healthy. Hair masks and scalp massage were mentioned many times in my research, so I was absolutely delighted when Dolma, whom I already trusted with my threading and waxing needs, said she was adding natural scalp massage to her many top-notch offerings. As Dolma's wonderful, talented hands worked their way through my hair and scalp, I felt waves of tension leave my body from the top and sides of my head. As I closed my eyes during the massage, I deeply inhaled the wonderful scent of the natural oils she uses to nourish the scalp and encourage blood flow. For several hours after I felt light, relaxed, and rebalanced, and my hair was soft and silky after rinsing it at home. Truly something to be experienced! read more

Dolma is an absolute gem! She's incredibly sweet, gentle, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire waxing process. Her calm demeanor and thorough technique helped me have a more relaxing and comfortable experience. She pays close attention to every detail and ensures you're getting the best treatment possible. Honestly one of the best waxing experiences I've had -- I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I had my first ever waxing here and so I was very nervous for my first time. Dolma is so calm and sweet so she really helped me feel comfortable in this awkward environment and she is so friendly. This will always be my favorite place read more

I don't trust anyone else in the city with my eyebrows or waxing. Dolma is calming and thorough with every service she performs. I have been seeing Dolma for almost 10 years, I can't recommend her enough. read more

I received a Brazilian wax today and I want to say that it was sincerely the most painless, most amazing experience. Dolma is a genuinely caring human being who takes her time and technique to make sure the process is smooth and painless. She even uses threading to make sure all the "stubborn" hairs were removed. Her products are of the utmost quality Also I have never met someone who provides such quality aftercare products. At other locations I am usually given some oil and a towelette but Dolma used oils, and aloe. I cannot say enough about how well I was treated. Definitely recommend this business. read more

Dolma has been my go-to for all hair removal needs, especially threading, for a decade now, there is truly no one better. Her spa has the best vibe, you feel the soothing energy as soon as you walk in, and you can relax knowing you're in great hands. She has also recently added a new service to her offering - Ayurvedic head massage - and I am obsessed!!!! My hair already seems thicker and healthier (she also had some great tips for taking care of your mane) after just one treatment, I can't wait to be back! read more

This was my first time here and Dolma was amazing. She is so kind and makes a painful and awkward experience as comfortable as it can be. I appreciate that she took me as a same day appointment, and she made sure to thread any stubborn hairs because she likes to be thorough. Will definitely be back and she is my new go to waxer read more

I have zero reason to break the streak of 5-star reviews. She is a perfect example of why I love Yelp. How else would I have ever found a trustworthy place en route from Penn Station to my AirTrain adjacent hotel on the eve of my flight to Jamaica? I was coming into NYC from the Hershey/Harrisburg area (where I could not find a reputable place.) I showed up on poor Dolma's door near closing time, and although she was clearly tired, she took me as a walk-in. I've had a bad wax before -- ingrown hairs for a year. So not cool. I have become pickier about who does my waxing than who my doctor is. Everything everyone else says is true -- professional, fast, great job, reasonable price. I have very sensitive skin on a couple areas of my body, and my irritation vanished in about 12-18 hours. (I get much more/lasting irritation from shaving.) Great aftercare by Dolma (aloe is awesome) and tips/reminders (I snagged some hydrocortisone at Duane Reade and applied some before bed.) I just enjoyed not having to shave my girly bits for my entire Jamaican vacation! I wish to hell Dolma lived in LA! read more

I have been going to Dolma since October 2013 for my Brazilian and she's truly amazing. It was my first time getting it done she was very sweet, kind and talked me through the entire thing. I walked out feeling very happy that I have someone I can alway go back to. I always make an appointment via text and she always reply back with a confirmation... It's so easy! She's clean, quick and her waxing doesn't hurt at all. She doesn't double dip in her wax. After she's done, she uses aloe to soothes the area and sometimes threads the little hairs (she's a perfectionist ) Her office is in a Chropractor office... So what? Her office is alway very clean and she's always welcoming. I don't believe the bad review about her being rude or sloppy since I have never experience that before. She's very kind and appreciate all her dedicated customers. I would follow her anywhere she goes! She's just that great. I recommend her to everyone I know. read more

Dolma is a rockstar!! Yes I'm a guy, and yes you should get manscaped!! Come here every 5-6 weeks for backwaxing, Dolma is a pro's pro!! She does waxing for guys and gals. Had my back waxed all over the city (usually at Equinox) but Dolma blows them all out! Less pain, done a lot quicker than most, and the aloe that she uses is heavenly, Thanks Dolma!! read more

See all

That was the fastest and most pain free Brazilian I've ever had. Dolma is the real deal. She has twenty years of experience and her technique made the pain much more tolerable than traditional waxing. She uses a smaller stick and goes over smaller patches but fast so instead of one giant bandaid rip it's a bunch of tiny ones. I've never been done in fifteen min but she knows her stuff. She even threaded a few stray hairs. Strong attention to detail! I'll be back! read more

Dolma has magical powers when it comes to all things waxing, threading and tinting! She is an incredibly kind and caring person who makes me feel special from the moment I make and appointment till I leave her office! I have never been disappointed by her service and have been waiting to find a professional such as herself my entire life! Incredibly grateful for her. It is rare to find someone who cares so much in the city. She's the absolute BEST! read more

Dolma is really friendly and does a great job! She know to make you comfortable with waxing shes very sweet and patient would definitely recommend! read more

Dolma was very nice over the phone and even offered me an appointment the same day! I asked If I could come in earlier and she was happy to help. Kanchan welcomed me on time and was super professional and kind! She was very thorough and did not leave one hair and finished with a thread where needed. I will definitely become a regular here!! Super recommended 5 Stars! Thank you!! read more

I'm not shy when it comes to waxing the nethers, I'll go anywhere as long as it's done safely, correctly and as painlessly as possible. But I'm also a people person and I immediately felt comfortable with Dolma. Her waxing techniques are safe, gentle, and the pain was minimal. And she applies a soothing aloe gel afterwards. With some places the wax is too hot, a weird consistency or leaving you feeling sticky in spots. They can also seem rushed - not so with Dolma. I'll be back for sure! read more

It's been almost 10 years seeing Dolma and I have never seen another waxer. She just always does an amazing job. She's gentle yet thorough and gets the job done so quickly since she has so many years of experience. She's like a waxing wizard I just love her so much. read more

Dolma is the best waxing experience of my life. She's a true pro! Quick, skilled, no nonsense and friendly. The office is clean. You'll leave as a client for life. read more

I've had amazing and terrible experience with getting my brows done in my life. Dolma's is definitely one of the better brow spots in the city. For reference, I used to go t Boom Boom Brow Bar in Greenwich Village. I just don't have time to go more downtown, so I was on a hunt for somewhere near home. Dolma's is reasonably priced and pays attention to detail - both qualities I'm looking for in a brow spot. It's extremely clean and the environment is serene. They use wax and then, if you say okay, they'll clean up extra spots with threading (which I think is usually more precise than a tweezer). They'll always remind you to not put hot water or anything on your recently waxed area, which honestly, I need to be reminded of sometimes. I always call ahead to see if they're busy (just like 15-30 minutes before I head over). Highly recommend! Been here 3x already. read more

Truly as good as it gets. I received a simple *underarm* wax & *eyebrow* threading. The shared office maintains a relaxing atmosphere & Dolma's Waxing private rooms are well kept. The underarm wax happened within a few breaths, with professional dexterity, no pain or irritation, and a quick precise clean-up afterwards. The quality + speed of the wax stood out from the semi-regular underarm waxes I've received the past four years. I felt compelled to write this review because I have never known my eyebrows to exist as they do today. Until now, I had surrendered to the formless, feathered cloudy blocks that were my eyebrows. I had adjusted to the mediocre area clean-ups, the shaping into smaller cloudy blocks that I could expect if I ever sought eyebrow threading or waxing. I had given up the dream of gracing them with a natural crisp shape, when the beautician at Dolma's chiseled out these sweet brows that I can't get enough of. They were there the whole time! I'm blessed to have stopped by during my trip to NY from the west coast. Reading the reviews, I think the beautician's name must have been *Kanchan*, though I heard it very softly at first as Chin Chin. read more

Very clean, very professional, responsive and kind. Reasonable prices. Best waxing place I have found in NYC in 10 years

What a sweet and gentle experience getting a wax. I nearly had a full Brazilian done. She went in after waxing to thread all the strays that aesthetician's usually 'overlook'. Insanely beautiful job, took about a half hour. It's easily the best wax I've gotten and I've been to plenty in and out of state. Feeling blessed that I found Dolma. read more

Dolma is the best! I have been going to her for over 4 years and I just don't trust anyone else. Dolma is precise with her threading, my eyebrows always look so sharp and clean afterwards. I don't even bother with tweezers anymore. Dolma will wax and remove my lip, chin, bikini, and leg hair cleanly, safely, and there is never any redness or irritation afterwards. Not even any ingrowns. Dolma's office is clean and bright. She always welcomes you with water on the way in and a candy on the way out. Once you go to Dolma, you'll never go back to where you were before. Trust me, I see her every 3-4 weeks for something! read more

So, I just came back from having a Brazilian wax with Dolma, and I had to come and review because -- well -- I was impressed. For starters, this was my FIRST Brazilian ever. I've gotten bikini waxes in the past (it's been about a decade now), but I was concerned because I've never gotten "The Full Monty." I felt at ease with Dolma when she first called me back to make the appointment. (I called TODAY and she fit me in TODAY.) It was like I was setting up a lunch date with a friend instead of getting a wax! When I arrived, she was very sweet and VERY reassuring. I explained to her that this was my first Brazilian wax and that I hadn't been waxed in many years. She was quick -- but not rushed -- and told me what to do for aftercare and to CALL OR TEXT HER should I have an issues or questions. I was floored by her remarkable knowledge and customer service. She is awesome and skilled, and I will definitely be returning. read more

Dolma is a complete delight! I needed a last minute wax before New Years Eve and was worried I was running out of time. I called Dolma and she was with a client and she promptly returned my call and squeezed me in. Her communication style was kind, prompt, and professional. It is also a big plus that she texts to follow up! :) I have been getting waxes in the city for years and I know I will never go to another technician other than Dolma again. Not only is her presence cheery and peaceful, she is extremely skilled, fast & painless. I was out of there in 20 minutes and feeling great-- not just from my wax but from meeting a wonderful woman like her. I highly recommend Dolma for your next wax!! She is AWESOME! read more

I found Dolma on Yelp and went to my first appointment with her yesterday afternoon. The service I received was for a Brazilian Bikini Wax, of which I've had many with various professionals. After a horrible experience at Uni-K on the Upper East Side (it felt like a factory...I was in and out of there in 15 minutes tops, and the results were puffy red bumps and a ton of ingrown hairs over the following month), I needed to find someone, and fast. I'm new to NYC and really miss the gal I was going to back in California...but I figured, there HAS to be someone just as good here, right? It is NYC after all... Dolma's office is only a few blocks from my work so it was very convenient. Easy to make an appointment and I didn't have to book weeks in advance. She is very friendly, independent, makes you feel comfortable, clean, and a perfectionist when it comes to hair removal. I'll be seeing her in 4-6 weeks for sure. read more

I went to Dolma today and had the best Brazilian wax I have ever had. I read the other reviews on Yelp and was excited yet skeptical to go to Dolma because I have extremely sensitive skin and usually get very irritated after treatments. First of all, I called 2 hours before and she fit me in to her busy schedule even though I have never been to her before. Secondly, the office was clean and comfortable to be in. Thirdly, she offers you water when you go in and candy on the way out (yes!). But on to the wax, I was nervous because I haven't gotten it done in a little over three months but Dolma calmed me down and talked to me throughout the whole wax. She told me about the different waxes she uses, about how to help my sensitive skin, etc. She was a very professional AND someone who I felt comfortable talking to. Also, I thought that I would be extremely red and irritated afterwards but I wasn't! I have officially ditched every other waxing/threading place I have ever tried and will only go to Dolma! read more

I waited a few days before writing this, to make sure I would not have a reaction to my wax treatment, as I have had at some places in the past. But thankfully that is not the case, and while I reside in New York, I will continue to go to this lovely establishment. It was the best Brazilian waxing experience I had ever had! Dholma was professional, very friendly, and very sanitary. No double-dipping, the wax was the perfect temperature, and she was super quick. She wore gloves, and talked with me the entire time to make sure I was comfortable (not babbling like some places, just polite conversation to ease my mind). I highly recommend Dholma, she is a master in her craft. read more

I relocated back to NYC from DC, where I had the best waxing specialist (Naghmeh, At Ibiza Day Spa, if anyone finds themselves there and in a bind - she's amazing). I have been looking far and wide in this city for someone just as good, and I've finally found her! Dolma is a Godsend. She is so sweet, so professional, and my brazilian barely hurt at all. One of my biggest issues is the hard wax every other salon seems to use. I react terribly too it, and the wax barely lasts more than 2 weeks! I much prefer the soft wax and strips, which is what Dolma uses. She is so quick and THOROUGH - she even threads what's left to make sure no hair is left behind. AND she gives you candy at the end as a thank you. Seriously, I can't say enough good things about her, and I'd give 10 stars if I could. FYI she is cash only! read more

I have never waxed anything in my life until I tried Dolma. That was 6 years ago. If I didn't have my A.D.H.D which makes me very forgetful, I would share the name of Dolma's colleague that I do all my waxing with but I can't remember ;-) This is highly-recommended team, go and take care of all your hair issues today read more

After 4.5 years of living in NYC, I am so happy to have found Dolma! I have been going to her since November 2013. She is the BEST person to go to for waxing and threading, especially eyebrow threading (and I have tried just about every reputable place in NYC)!! She pays incredible attention to detail every time you come in. You have to make an appointment, but she is very easy to reach and will even fix appointments over text message. She is also very sweet. She is so easy to talk to and you can forget the waxing that is going on. I find that waxing from her is actually less painful because of her expertise. I will be a loyal client to her as long as I live in the area. Edited 7/8/14 to sing more praises :) read more

Update: She not only sent me a email thanking me for coming in for the first time, she managed to squeeze me in today for a last minute appointment for a Brazilian, which was great. I also forgot to add, she does not double dip and wears gloves and she always checks to make sure she has not missed a spot. So I just came back from my appointment and have to say I am impressed. All the reviews about her are true. She is the sweetest person in the world. She does a great job and even goes the extra mile for client to be happy. I was getting my arms and back waxed for a press party I need to go to and since she knew I was wearing a strapless dress she went out of her way to do my shoulders without me even asking. In addition to her being very neat and thorough, I was surprised by the lack of pain. I have been doing waxing for years because I have a lot of hair due to a hormonal imbalance. She definitely knows what she is doing and does it very well. Unlike other aestheticians, she does not try to push any of her services on you. Since I have started doing laser on other parts of my body she did not try to convince me to wax there instead ( unlike a couple of other places I know have in the past). She makes you feel very comfortable which is a added bonus. If you are looking for someone sweet, nice, efficient and thorough I would say go to her. read more

First, the positive (which kept it from a 1 star rating)- very accessible for people working in the midtown area, easy to schedule an appointment, and as others have already said, Dolma is extremely nice and welcoming. Her studio is also very clean and nice. Now for the bad- I went in for a nose waxing to deal with nostril hair. I've had it done before at Uni K on the Upper East Side, and it was a pain-free and easy experience. But not having time to go up to Uni K, I decided to try Dolma. The method Dolma used was very different from the method that Uni K employed, and was very painful compared to my previous experience. The worst part was that the wax that Dolma used was WAY too hot, and ended up burning my nostrils. After three days, the blistering has subsided, skin started to peel and now it just looks like I had a really bad cold with a red nose. I don't know if this was just a "one-off" instance for Dolma or not, but my experience was terrible. I won't be going back and I'd be very hesitant to recommend anyone going there. read more

I came to this salon because of the good reviews. I did not go to the site so I would recommend seeing the rates before going. Dolma was great and seemed like she was experience but considering how many other places charge half the cost I don't know that I would return. Tip: This is a cash only location. Also see site for rates. read more

I've seen Dolma twice now for a Brazilian. She was the only person I have ever tried and found her because of positive yelp reviews. She is fantastic; she is quick, friendly and very thorough. What I like about her, is that she uses a different stick for each dip and once she is done waxing, she goes over everything with thread to make sure there are no pesky leftover hairs. Also, if you have any ingrown hairs, she will also take care of them for you. Another thing I really like about her way of waxing, is that she uses aloe from an aloe plant on you once you are finished- this is exceptionally great for healing and disinfecting. In terms of pain- its a brazilian. They are all painful, but certainly not the worst pain I've every experienced. She is also very great about being there for you in case you have any questions or concerns- you can just text her! The salon is clean and she is very hygienic (i.e. she wears gloves, wipes everything down after you leave, changes the paper roll on the chair, etc.). It is also a *cash* business- and I can't say that her prices are crazy. $60 for a great brazilian is fine with me! read more

Dolma is amazing! I've been getting waxed by her for over 3 years and don't trust anyone else anymore. First of all she doesn't double dip which has spoiled me to any other waxer because now i get really skeeved out if i go somewhere else and they double dip! She's extremely clean! secondly, she's the only waxer I've had who I don't get ingrowns after. After I finally decided to get a facial from her b/c I'm really prone to acne and breakouts I was really impressed. I had a facial lady for a long time that did extreme extractions and it didn't help me at all. After Dolma's facial i was shocked, i walked out with amazingly soft and clear skin. She isn't aggressive and doesn't pick each pimple, instead she exfoliates and massages the skin and does a mild extraction which is incredibly effective. Highly recommend! read more

Good vibes extremely comfortable good conversation good follow up advice on what to do the the days after the wax and most important: great wax Most guys are apprehensive about navigating these types of places (myself included) however, as soon as I met Dolma, I was immediately at ease....it was like going to an aunt's house... You may spend more money going elsewhere for the sideshow, but you won't be getting a better wax than here. Highly recommended. read more

I really was hoping to have a good experience. Since I lost my former waxer, I have been bouncing around trying new places in hopes of finding another person to see regularly. First of all I agree with Erica W's review. Also Dolma's style is direct and business-like, she doesn't give you a moment to change alone. She gets in there right away and I would describe her waxing style as "having a fast pace over small areas" . I am vocally squeamish even though I've been waxing fairly regularly over the last 10 years and have tried many people. In the middle of the wax she says to me, "If you can't take this pain, how can you ever have a baby?". I can't believe she would say something so mean when first of all I am in a vulnerable, painful state spread eagled in front of her and secondly - she knows nothing about me nor my history with children and child birth. I was offended and hurt. I started crying as she was waxing, and asked her to just go ahead and finish the job. After waxing, she slathered aloe, threaded the extra hairs, I paid her and got the hell out. The wax is fine, but I am never going back there. Awful. read more

I have been going to Dolma for over 3 yrs and I wouldnt consider going to anyone else. She does not double dip which is CRITICAL when getting waxed. She is very caring and takes her time when it can be painful. Her hours are fantastic and is always available when I need her. Her prices are sooo reasonable for the service and quality. I recommend Dolma to all my friends and family. P.S. I travel now all the way for Nassau County to see Dolma....yes she is that good!!! read more

I am EXTREMELY particular about my eyebrows. I have been to most of the "top rated" threaders in NYC.. from Long Island to Queens to Manhattan..from spas to hole in the walls. And I keep coming back to Dolma. It's a pain in the a$$ if you drive like me (busy area, can't double park and garage is kind of expensive), but the location is super convenient by train or any other method. I love that She LISTENS to my concerns and needs about my brows and also gives her professional suggestions. She doesn't thread my whole eyebrow THEN ask me if I like it. She will do a little bit and let me check, and continue. I have moved to Washington, D.C. and have been away from my beloved NYC for almost 9 months now. I drive 4 HOURS just to get threaded by her. NO ONE else touches my eyebrows anymore. People say I'm crazy, but I've tired other locations and they have butchered my brows. I don't wear a lot of makeup and my eyebrows really make a huge difference in my appearance so the drive is worth it. Being so far away, I often have to change my appointments last minute due to traffic or plans changing. I know I probably annoy her, but she accommodates me. read more
