A hidden gem in a neighborhood rife with $8 matcha latte spots, Manhattan Unisex has old school charm and old school prices. Mamta, the owner, offers a deal - 4 waxes for $100 cash. Amazing. I highly recommend. read more

Mumta is amazing! Always takes care of me and so affordable! I am only visiting and she really took care of me! 10/10 recommend. I've gone for my eyebrows, upper lip, and Brazilian waxing! Super awesome! read more

I've been getting my eyebrows threaded for the past 4 years now and I would recommend this place for your threading needs! I completely trust Mamta with my brows and I like how she is extremely thorough. I have a low threshold for pain so I am grateful that she tries to be as gentle as she can. Her prices are fair, for $10 (CASH only!) you can get your brows and upper lip threaded. Thank you Mamta for keeping my brows looking on point all the time! read more

Mamta has moved to 153 1/2 Stanton Street and a lovely place called Sample Size Social. She is still the only person I have ever written a review for. Everything you want in a wax -- comfortable, affordable, quick and now in an even nicer environment! read more

Mamta is now located at sample size social. The address is 153 1/2 Stanton Street. It is a much nicer location and very close to this location. I highly recommend Mamta for eyebrows. Very reasonable and does an amazing job! read more

Mamta is just amazing. She's warm and sweet and excellent at waxing. Both times I came in for Brazilians they barely hurt at all. She was able to determine the type of wax that would work best for my skin and used a method that was basically painless, just uncomfortable. Also did my eyebrows both times and during the second time she gave me a head massage. Her prices are super fair and she's very accommodating and often will stay late. read more

10/10 had a great experience! Mamta is super nice and sweet. Wax was fast and the price is affordable. She also checks with you to make sure you are satisfied with the result and if there are any hairs leftover. Her shop is also very nice, the interior is very modern. Just call her to make an appointment. She is located at 153 Stanton St like the other reviews say. I definitely trust her with my future waxing needs! read more

Mamta is definitely the best. Very meticulous and thorough and has always been available. Definitely a lower east side gem that the area is lucky to have. read more

Mumta is the cutest, little old Indian lady I've ever had near my nether regions. She is also the only one but that doesn't detract from how incredibly cute she is. I felt like I was in grandma's hands, although I'm not Indian and I would never want my grandma or anyone I know to give me a brazilian. There were some stray hairs left from the waxing, but she went over them closely with threading. I was left very smooth & soft! I used to always go to J'aime Day Spa due to all of the yelp rave reviews, but I would be left with so many in grown hairs & hairs that would be sticking out the next day. Sure, Natasha was great and quick, but I won't be returning after coming to Mumta! Plus, it's $10 cheaper here! ($25 vs $35) read more

There are only two people in this world who I let get this close to me: 1) my husband; and 2) Mumta. She is truly the best in Manhattan for a bikini wax, and her prices are super reasonable. read more

This place is filled with incredibly warm people, and a skill that matches the greats. I had a wonderful experience today with Mamta and Lorenza. Mamta did the best waxing job I have ever had done, as well as provided her kind and warm spirit for a giving environment. Lonreza did an amazing and clean job with my hair, it was truly a pleasure. Anyone who seeks quality at a reasonable price as well as wonderful people to connect with make an appointment 917-403-3348 read more

First off, do not go there if you scare easily. Once you've wrapped your head around the fact that you are in a barber shop and that you re about to open your legs wide in the tiniest room in the back, you re good to go. Amazing, Cheap, Painless, bikini wax. I also get my eyebrows threaded and it always turns out great. Mumta is fabulous and she knows what she's doing. read more

Great haircuts, Great price, Consistent I am very particular about my barber and I have been coming back here for every haircut for the last year, won't go anywhere else. Lorenza is very good, will cut all styles and always remembers your preferences. Great find! read more

Mumta is hands down the best in NYC. She is one of the most down to earth individuals and would make you feel very comfortable. I have tried a couple other places in New York, some being fancy, and ended up paying way more than I would for Mumta. They would take such a long time doing their job, like they are sculpting, and in the end, the results would be same as Mumta's, maybe even worse if red areas is a problem for you. Lets face it, waxing is not the best thing that can happen to a girl. Though Mumta's warm personality makes it a better experience. If you are short in time and looking for a wallet friendly place, I say this is the way to go. Tip - call before you go and tell Mumta when you would show up, she would make sure that your wait time would be as short as possible. read more

If your eyebrows are uneven and messed up from years of waxing or plucking at mediocre places....See Mamta!!!!! She is helping me regrow and reshape my eyebrows and I am so thankful for her! After meeting her I refuse to go anywhere else or let anyone else touch my eyebrows. She is a kind and gentle professional read more

I was actually planning to go to another place for my eyebrows but they were closed, and I'm glad I came here, Mamta is the sweetest! Note that this is cash only, $7 for eyebrow threading. I'll be coming back for sure. read more

Mumta was a lovely lady, but I had a very bad leg and bikini wax here. Not only was I left with patches of hair, but I was burnt in spots all over my legs and lady parts, had blood blisters on my bikini line and the backs of my knees, and have developed a rash!! Not worth the low price and convenience of walk-in service - you get what you pay for here. Also, one week later: my hair is growing back already - I think she didn't get the roots :( I will definitely NOT be returning here. That's too bad, because she is very nice. read more

Manny the Barber has always been on point for me when cutting my hair. If you have not realize I am Asian and Asian hair is unforgivable sometimes. Especially to those who do not go to a barber who has experience working with Asian hair. I have been going to manny for almost a year and half since I moved here for graduate school. I have been constantly changing my hair to fit my professional needs. Manny always seems to pull through by cutting my hair to how I pictured. As long as you can give him the details or provide a picture of how you want your hair to be, he will do his best. Asian guys this is your barber to go too. Let him know that "Bryan" sent you se he knows yelp is working! Stay Fresh and change the world. read more

Mumta is the best! I have waxed all over the world and Mumta is most painless and inexpensive waxer ever (even when the dollar was much stronger against other currencies). She's works meticulously in small, quick sections with amazing skill and is friendly and gentle. I would have never guessed this place even did waxing if it weren't a tip from a friend who lived in the neighborhood. Now my waxes will be coordinated with my business trips to New York! read more

Lorenza at Manhattan Unisex in the Lower East Side has been cutting my hair for several years and I don't trust anyone else. She's a total professional and artist and runs a great salon. It's important to support your independent local businesses and Lorenza's Manhattan Unisex is one of the best. read more

Mamta moved over to 153 Stanton 1/2 at a place called Sample Size Social! Same services, still the best in New York. So sweet, so quick - great at waxing and threading. Call her at 917-403-3348. I wouldn't go anywhere else in the city! read more

This is a funny place to get your eyebrows threaded but it's the place I'm going to keep coming back to. Since it's a unisex salon it's filled with men getting short haircuts. But then there's Mamta's chair in the front where a steady stream of ladies wait. She did an amazing job. She listened to my preferences and was meticulous. She took her time and seemed to go after each hair individually in the clean-up. It made me realize how rushed everyone else has seemed. I totally recommend coming here to let Mamta work her magic on your brows. And for only $6, it's quite the deal. read more

The waxing here is fantastic - and so cheap! $25 with a 4 bundle, or $35 normally. The lady is lovely. Highly recommend.

I've been going to Mamta for almost 3 years, she's wonderful! I highly recommend! She just moved a couple of blocks to SAMPLE SIZE SOCIAL on 153 Stanton st. Space is very pleasant and waxing is great as usual (: read more

Mamta is the only person I trust in NYC to thread my eyebrows. She is now located at Sample Size Social and it is a BEAUTIFUL location. She is moving up in the world because of her talent - highly highly recommend! read more

Mamta moved down the street to 153 Stanton! Just shoot her at a text (917) 403-3348. Best eyebrow threading for real. Can't speak to the Brazilians but I know she had A LOT of female clients! read more

First thing I did when I moved to NY, is find a place to get my eyebrows done. 11 years later and I still go to Mamta! Her prices and kindness will not be beat in the whole city. Although I have moved several times in the last decade , I still exclusively come to Mamta for my threading and waxing. Highly recommend ! read more

I went here today for my first ever bikini wax and overall the experience was good. The woman (I guess her name is Mamta from reading these reviews) made me comfortable and responded to all my questions and concerns. When I asked for her to remove some extra hairs that were missed she happily took the extra time. The only negative about this place is the actual look and feel of the room. The bed I laid on for the wax had random stuff on it and she had me put my underwear in a basket with other random things, including her notebook which she uses to keep track of people who have bought packages. I just would have appreciated a more well-kept space when getting a bikini wax. I might come back because it was so easy to book an appointment and inexpensive, but not sure if I'd recommend it to friends. read more

My hair grew too long so I went to simply trim it. Very careful and nice. I feel really relaxed and my hair is nicely trimmed.

Hands down best Brazilian wax I've ever had! Mamta is an ANGEL - even though I have sensitive skin it was literally painless. I've had hundreds of waxes at tons of other places and have never had such a positive (and, like I said) completely painless experience! She did an amazing, very thorough job and to top it off she is sweet as pie. I swear she is magical. ALSO, she threaded my eyebrows and they look better than they ever have. She even gave me a quick forehead/head/neck massage afterwards because she could sense I needed one. :) You absolutely cannot beat the unbelievable price ($35 for full Brazilian wax and $7 for eyebrow threading), the service and the sweet conversation. Couldn't give this place a higher recommendation!! read more

Eyebrow threading $5 She did it quickly and gave my eyebrows a nice shape, but wasn't totally thorough (I was left to pluck a few stray hairs). She didn't trim the long hairs either, which is essential for me. read more

Mamta is AMAZING! Just went to her for the first time and I will definitely be going back. My eyebrows have never looked this good!

This is honestly the best-kept secret for waxing in NYC. I've been going here for almost 4 years now (found it through these reviews when I first moved to the city). I've tried laser and other forms of hair removal and nothing beats the price and experience of this place. Mamta is not only great at her job - she's extremely attentive and caring towards your needs. read more

This was my first time getting a Brazilian wax and I was nervous but Mamta relieved all of my stress. She is AMAZING. She made sure to keep checking in with me to make sure I was not in too much pain. I will totally return and I advise that you ask for Mamta for your next wax!! read more

I've been coming to this salon for 3 years to see Mamta for my eyebrows and waxing. Before I came here my eyebrows were so thin and unnatural looking. Mamta helped me grow out my eyebrows to my desired shape. She was so sweet and patient through my journey. I can't thank her enough for being the absolute best!!! I don't even have to look at my eyebrows once she's finished because I trust her and hey let's face it, her work speaks for it self. Thank you Mamta for your great service!!!!!!!!!! read more

I love this place. Petria is a sweet stylist. She reminds me of what a grandma should be like.

Manhattan Unisex is a great place to get your haircut! Lorenza and the ladies who work there are true professionals! Give it a try! If you mention you saw Manhattan Unisex on Yelp or Facebook and its your first time at the Salon you will get a discount! read more
