This was a my go-to eyebrow threading spot during the months leading up to my moving out of…read moreWoodside, and one of the things I miss most about it. Even after moving out, I went out of my way to come here for a few months until life got busy, because I truly enjoyed the service from Gita. Twin Brows was a refreshing since I haven't had much luck finding a good eyebrow threading salon in Woodside. Plus, I got to connect (which is rare in eyebrow threading) with Gita, the owner, who was so pleasant and always made sure that I walked out happy. The service prices are pretty standard and comparable with other salons, but I do feel like hygiene control is better here than at many of the places that I have gone to. I haven't gotten any other services other than eyebrow threading, but this place should get the love it deserves, and for being in a prime location just right off the train station.

This salon is near the 61st woodside station on the 7 train. I was lured in by the cheap,…read moreaffordable prices. I tried the eye brow threading ($5) and the eyelash extensions ($20) around the first week of January. I knew I should've said never mind when she told me to keep my eyes open when I was getting the eye lash extension. The eyelash extensions comes in the a couple options, short, medium natural, medium, long natural, and long. I got medium natural and they looks fine, however, it was a painful experience and I don't think I'll be returning here again. The lady doing my eye lash extension told me to keep my eyes open during the process, which Was something I've never heard when it came to eye lash extensions. My eye was really irritated with the glue, it was super red and teared a little. It wasn't until an eyelash with eye lash glue fell into my eye that I got really upset! The lady didn't even clean up the eye lash and eye lash glue in my eye until I asked her to. I left with eye lash glue residue in my eye and my eye has been irritated since. On the other hand, the eye brow threading was really nice. The two stars is for the eye brow threading experience and lash extension experience. Thee lady who did my eyebrows also threaded them very nicely. I would have given five stars if I only had my eyebrows done. Tl;dr - YES eye brow threading, NO eyelash extension

I used to rave about this place. When I found it, hardly anyone visited it. After I reviewed them,…read morethe owner told me that a lot of people started to come and business was getting better. I selfishly lamented over the fact that it would get busier and likely cause a wait but I was happy that business might mean they would be around for longer. Soon after, I found a new spot that was closer to my job at that time which made it easy for me to pop in during my lunch and get serviced. I went to my new spot today, after over 7 months of wearing bushy brows, resembling one of my fave GoT characters, Arya, who is played by Maysie Williams. Now, while I LOVE the show and adore the actor, I don't want my brows looking like two caterpillars crawled onto my face and died. Unfortunately, my brow tech was not available and I could wait no longer so I hightailed it to I Smail, knowing that I would get a decent threading done with which I'd be happy. I waited for a mere five minutes before she sat me in her chair and started on my brows. I asked for a tint since I'm going away on vacay and don't want to have to worry about sexing up my brows with makeup. I also asked for my upper lip to be waxed (no, I don't have a stache but getting the peach fuzz/baby fur removed makes makeup applications far more perfected). Afyer everything was said and done, the woman tells me it costs $32. I had to repeat the total because I was un utter disbelief. The brow threading, as stated on their menu only costs $8 and the lip wax had to be around $5 so I deduce that I paid a whopping $20 for a tinting? It's asuch a rip off to charge for henna like I was getting decorative henna on my arms. To make matter worse, she took her own tip, thinking I was giving her an $8 tip. If I had more time to waste, I would have stayed and questioned the charges but I have a baby at home and I'm her walking tap so, I was on borrowed time. After this experience, I tell you that I will never grace their threshold with my presence again. I'll just wait for my regular tech 5 minutes away on Gun Hill Rd. at Smile Beauty Salon where my brow and lip threading AND brow time cost only $16 dollars. Yes. HALF that price. I say, "Good day!" I should also include that my brows are definitely on point but like I said, I pay $16 for work that is just as good, if not better.

I am reposting this review after Yelp randomly took it down recently. It has been up for years and…read moresuddenly it wasn't clear that I was the customer here. I am not sure if Heena asked Yelp to take it down, but because she burned my sisters face, and then yelled at HER for it (in front of me and my mother) I am putting it back up with the clear disclaimer up front-Yes I was a paying customer in this situation. I've been going to Heena's for years. The truth is she's okay enough at eyebrows. But she's AWFUL at customer service!! I've watched over the years as this has significantly declined! One day after years of service from our family, my sister and I went to her for routine lip wax before her wedding. Heena doesn't do the waxing bc she is busy doing eyebrows so she has one of her girls do it. (fine). But these girls are not well trained and a bit haphazard, They often dont wait long enough for the wax to cool down. THEY ACTUALLY BURNED MY SISTERS FACE! Yes, for her WEDDING, she has DARK BURN MARKS on her chin. BUT THE STORY GETS BETTER! My sister went to talk to Heena with my mother the next day. HEENAS BEHAVIOR WAS BEYOND UNPROFESSIONAL. SHE WAS OUTRIGHT RUDE TO MY SISTER AND ACTUALLY THREATENED HER!! (What?!!! You have to know my sister and my mother are extremely sweet people who just wanted to know what they could do to fix the wedding pictures) The girl who did the actual wax was extremely sorry and apologized profusely, but heena gave my sister a hard time, told her SHE SHOULD HAVE HAD HER SIGN A RELEASE FORM SAYING THIS COULD HAPPEN SO THEY WOULDN'T BE LIABLE (hello, LOTS of girls get their lips/chin waxed and do not end up with burns!!). she GRUDGINGLY gave my sister her money back, BUT THEN TOLD ME AND MY FAMILY TO NEVER COME BACK THERE EVER AGAIN!! I mean all she had to do was say she was sorry, give the money back if she wanted and we would have continued being her (eyebrows only) customers....The most important thing was the apology....However she THREATENED my sister and my mother?!!! What??? MY SISTER'S WEDDING PICTURES ARE RUINED AND THIS WAS HER RESPONSE!!! We've been going there for years, and up until that point we were actually friendly, and my entire family was friendly with her!! I can only imagine how she would treat people that she hasn't known for years. Wow....Heena i'll be going to your competitor that is two doors down from you....Its not that hard and there are tons of competitors at your doorstep.
