I've been a longtime fan of Shobha Eyebrow Salon since my undergrad college days, but I had stopped…read moregoing because it was too far at the time. So, imagine my excitement when I discovered a location much closer to my house! I had been going to another salon near me, but unfortunately, the new eyebrow tech just couldn't get my brows right no matter how many times I tried. I finally decided it was time to go back to true professionals who actually know what they're doing--and wow, I'm so glad I did! My brows were in terrible shape (literally ), but my Shobha esthetician worked her magic and completely transformed them. I left feeling like a new person! The precision, the shape, the symmetry--absolute perfection. The price is 100% worth it for the quality you get. I'd tell you who did my brows, but honestly, I don't want you all to overbook her--LMAO! But seriously, if you want flawless brows, this is THE place to go! Highly recommend.

I'm sooooo happy they were fully booked else I would have missed out on all the sweet, feminine goodness that's this business Shobha! From the doorman of the building to receptionist Yulissa (pronounced Julisa) and my tech Rizwana, everyone was so amazingly wonderful! As you walk in your temperature is checked before you're directed to a sink to wash up. They practice strict covid precautions. I didn't have an appointment (it's recommended) but I waited less than the ten minutes Yulissa said it would be to have my facelift. (threaded 'brow) I heart the energy of this business. It's light, positive and even with their fiery aesthetics, it lends a calm that stays with you even as you walk out the door. Shobha products are on sale here (15% discount on your first visit) and available in select stores as well. My pics came out droidible (horrible android) but you can visit: myshobha.com for a better view and details of products. Brows up! I luuuuuurve 'em! Thanks Rizwana. Ten covid years off my face! The End.

Usually I pay $5 but aware that this is NYC, I walked by this establishment and $7 definitely is on the lower price spectrum. Was kinda hesitant to walk in as Im committed to my local brow business but sis, my brows were caterpillars And my schedule was preventing me from meeting my threading girl. Gotta bite the bullet. There was only one girl that day attending a customer. She was serious but professional and attentive. I waited for 5 minutes thinking if she was either going to slaughter my brows or finesse them. This lady FINESSE'D my brows. She was quick, communicative and I can sense she was paying attention to detail as she gave me a nice shape. Too bad I didn't get her name as I'm reading the recent reviews and a few had underwhelming experiences. Walked out a happy customer. *sigh of relief*

Update: I've been going to Nirit once a month since June and my skin has never been better in my…read morelife... My skin is clearer, healthier, glowing and smooth! I've been getting compliments from friends I haven't seen in months that they're shocked with how beautiful my complexion is now. Even Nirit has been admiring her work :) I used to be plagued with cysts and regular pimples most of the month, especially around my period, ever since the 5th grade. I went to so many dermatologists and tried just about every medicine they could think of. I've spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars in makeup, masks, clay, acne treatments, gimmicks, etc... I was on the verge of going through the accutane treatment (again) and dreading the commitment, discomfort and inevitable slew of breakouts when I found and decided to take the advice of Nirit. I had nothing to lose. After speaking to her the first day, she showed me how my how my products were drying out my face, (thinking that my oily face needed to be soaked up i used powder makeup and clay masks all the time), which was actually encouraging MORE pimples and irritating the existing breakouts that were taking forever to heal... I've completely changed my routine to 6 products (only 4 I bought at Nirit's salon, the other two are a moisturizer and sunscreen) in addition to the monthly facials (extractions and aromatherapy oils) to get to a place i've been dreaming of the last 15 years. Though I still get 1-2 breakouts during my most hormonal week, they've been incredibly fast to heal (3-5 days vs what used to be 2 weeks) and more often than not end up going away before it fully forms anyway. Besides, i used to easily get up to 5+ cystic pimples in a single week so just having one or two makes me want to cry with joy. It's only been 3 months, really, and I'm so encouraged by this process that I can't wait to see how my skin evolves by the end of the year! I'm developing good skin habits, creating a better skin environment and am much more aware of what i'm putting on my skin. It's not the cheapest option for me, but by budgeting appropriately - and saving a LOT on what i used to spend in cosmetics and skin care products - it's an expense that i'm 100% able and willing to make. I'm actually saving money in the end... My anxiety and self-consiousness is way way down and I'm even able to go out the door without make up on and feel good about myself. I highly recommend Nirit's salon! Her advice is solid and the bit of tough love you need to change the way you see your skin Oh, and my eyebrows are absolutely gorgeous... :)

It's a very small room and she had a friend in there with her chatting. I sat down and she got right into the lash lift, didn't explain anything to me (it was my first time), didn't ask for color I wanted to tint them etc. she spoke in Spanish to her friend the entire time, and I could smell the hard boiled egg she had for breakfast on her breath the whole time. I think she assumed I could not understand Spanish, but I heard her talking to her friend about me and my hair color (redhead). At this point I mentioned that I wanted to tint my brows brown. However, I think I was too late because they are definitely black. They are not very curled at all, and she missed tinting the edges of my lashes. Honestly to say I was disappointed in every aspect of this service would be an understatement. I will look for a more professional service next time.
