I have been going to Nina's from past 3 years , Salon is clean staff is cordial , service is prompt , Quality of products is great , the facials and threading is always one point . 100 percent recommend it read more

I paid $22 for eyebrows and lip which is 50% more than the store in Lynbrook but my upper lips are on fire after that wax. And not in a good way. It burns I need to put ice on it or something Update --- It was painful to wash my face due to the burning Don't ever go here read more

See all

I used to go to this place UNTIL Evani decided to use box dye to do my hair at the Commack location. She was not supposed to use black box dye because she knew that's not what I wanted. I spent over $1,500 on color correction just to remove what she had done. Please stop doing hair because clearly you do not know how. Stick to what you know which is NOT hair. Please do not go to her for hair purposes. It's clearly way to easy to graduate cosmetology school nowadays. read more

This used to be the best place to get my eyebrows done but recently it's become VERY mediocre. It wasn't even busy and I was on the chair for 10 seconds! Sandeep was the one who threaded my eyebrows. I always look over their work to see if they missed anything and she has the audacity to rush me out the store. Such a let down, I really loved this place, from there on out decided that would be my last visit to Nina's. read more

I came here after my own eyebrow lady stopped operating after COVID but this place went above my expectations! They're following all the proper protocols: social distancing + socially distant line out the door + masks being worn by all the staff. They did an amazing threading job on my eyebrows and I'm so glad they're back to being open. Don't be scared of the long wait, trust me, it'll be worth it read more

Zero stars. I got my eyebrows threaded and specifically stated a cleanup not too thin. Nina ends up trimming my eyebrow so short it's completely botched. Then tried to use the excuse it's the shape of my eyebrow when it is clear that she took way too much off with the scissor and my right eyebrow is much thinner than the left. She spent not even 2 minutes on my eyebrows!! Absolutely disgusted. I shouldn't have even paid for that. read more

I would give this review a 0 if I could. I went in to get my underarms waxed and the lady BURNED my skin off and I'm left with red scars / patches 4 days later. And it was extremely painful during / after for several days. And she didn't even get all of the hair. I couldn't even shave the rest off because it hurt to touch. This place is fine for eyebrow threading but DO NOT get anything waxed here. Go to European Wax Center which is right down the road. Shameful really. read more

Sometimes there is a wait but it's well worth it. Best place in Commack for threading. Quick, clean, & professional. read more

My go-to place for threading my brows, I always get so many compliments! The first time I went, I was so nervous but the young girl that did my eyebrows was so ridiculously fast that it was painless! I'm not sure if she still works there but I look for her every time I go. It depends on who you get because some of them take forever and it's kind of painful so be weary of who you get or try to stick to one person you like. Place is clean, they work fast and kind. No serious complaints read more

The best salon in town!! I love going here, I get my eyebrows done here and it's always a pleasurable experience! Very clean- the ladies always use hand sanitizer before and after dealing with me, which makes me feel very comfortable. I got my hair and makeup done by Nina & Madiya for my wedding photo shoot and I felt so beautiful! After I explained the look I was going for I let the makeup artist and hair dresser do their thing and I was amazed at how good I looked!! They made sure I was happy and comfortable and were willing to listen to what I wanted; unlike many other artists I have dealt with at other salons. Overall an amazing experience every time I go here! read more

I was coming here for 10+ years, as time went by the service got worse. Recently I went in right before my wedding and I left with very thinned out, uneven eyebrows and crying and it was Nina that did it. I will no longer be a customer because that was the last draw. I've given them too many chances and all my friends and family know and will no longer be going due to the poor quality in treatment. read more

I came here for the first time after going to Lake Grove for my eyebrows for years. I loved it! I must admit, my eyebrows are kind of difficult to thread because they're naturally blonde and hard to see. She got every single blonde hair and shaped them beautifully for me to be able to dye when I got home. Definitely my new place. It's affordable too and you can tip on Venmo. read more

Deep breath. I only just walked out of this establishment and I can't even describe how upset I am! I'm new to Commack and I miss my old threading salon dearly-I have tried Nina's salon 3 times already. I find that some women do a different job than others-their service is somewhat a hit or miss. Today, I came to get my eyebrows threaded. I always have a problem threading every two weeks because not all of the hair grows in while others are grown in after only a week. This time around, I let my eyebrows grow in for 3 weeks. Walked around looking like a bushman to be sure that my brows would be entirely grown in and easy to thread. I explained to the woman exactly what I wanted done. This woman absolutely butchered them! They are uneven and WAY too thin. Naturally I complained and she told me they look this way because I tweezed them. I looked at her like she was on crack. She offered to fix them and thread more. I told her I'd rather die. I paid, left and here I am stuck with skinny, stupid looking eyebrows. Avoid this place if you can in an way relate to the pain I am experiencing. I will find another place and NEVER return again. read more

I recommend this salon for eyebrow threading. It's quick and professionally done. The salon is clean and tidy. I have also had my hair henna colored several times. It takes a long time because it's messy but they did a good job. I never have to wait long either which is a big plus. read more

I am very sorry to have to do this but I am revising my review. Nina's used to be the best place around but not anymore. I was very excited about their new Hicksville location opening up, until I went there and was was told, without solicitation, by the young proprietor, the owners daughter that I should use a certain type of shampoo on my hair to get rid of the brassiness. Not the best choice. I informed her that I had just been to the hairdresser and I was very happy with my hair and actually get many compliments on it daily. So I decided I would keep making the drive to the Commack location because I loved the woman who did the threading. Unfortunately she retired and has been replaced by two other women who somehow make the experience incredibly painful. But even that did not drive me away until my most recent visit when the woman decided that my eyebrows would look better if she made them a certain shape that I didn't ask her to. When she was done and I looked in the mirror I told her that I was disappointed but that there was nothing I could do about it now and she told me it's better this way. She has a right to her opinion I am sorry to say that after many years of frequenting this business, I will no longer be returning to Nina's. If the proprietor had been there at the time of any of my recent visits, I would have shared this with her myself. But she was nowhere to be seen. It is not my intention to badmouth the business. I just feel that since I left a five star review before it's only fair to anyone who looks it up that they get the updated version. Hopefully this review will help Nina to make changes and become what they used to be. read more

Evani- the best hair dresser ever!!!! Best customer service!!!! I am so spoilt that will not go anywhere else!!!! Great job with my hair!!!! Love it!!!! read more

I got my hair and makeup done by Nina Lamba and her associate for my cousin's wedding a few years ago. I CRIED when they were finished. I absolutely COULD NOT go to my cousin's wedding looking like that. I told the chick who did my hair that I did not know what I wanted but I wanted a lot of volume. I SPECIFICALLY told her not to tease my hair extensively -- she made a rat's nest literally out of the crown of my head and then pulled back the front hair. I'm from California - I looked like a Jersey Shore girl - definitely NOT the look I was going for. Then, Nina did my makeup ....I thought okay at least this should be nice. She put bright gold eyeshadow all over my lids, THICK black eyeliner (think Amy Winehouse) and some garish lipstick on. I should have known it would be a problem when she was doing my makeup under fluorescent lighting. I went to the bathroom to see the "final look" and couldn't hold in the tears. To Nina's credit, she took some sympathy on my now-garish "look" and "helped" me redo my hair by basically brushing it out (the pictures look like I literally did not have time to do my hair and simply brushed out oily hairsprayed hair), spraying some gold glitter hairspray all over it, and I basically took off half the makeup to make myself look more like sister to the bride, and less streetwalker. DO NOT GO HERE unless they show you evidence that they have since taken professional hair and makeup classes. There are SO Many other places in the area - Ginny and Salon Danielle Loren both do great hair in/near Hicksville (My mom and I went to both when I came to another wedding in NY). oh...and I ended up paying $100 to Nina for the above. WOW. I would never ever in a million years ever, EVER come back to her ever again. read more

Nina's is my favorite eyebrow place I've ever been too ! I've been coming here for over 3 years. I refuse to go anywhere else and also recommend this location when I get compliments on my eyebrows. They aren't too harsh with the thread and I've never had a problem with them leaving it too thin. In regards to eyebrow threading this is the place to go! read more

From the minute you walk in, you are greeted with a smile. The aura in the salon is that of happiness. Evani is outstanding. She has the patience of a saint and never rushes you. She also repeatedly says" I want you to walk out of here happy". Customer Service like this is very hard to find these days. I honestly feel that if anyone walks in here, they will never go anywhere else ever again. read more

I've been coming here ever since I was little with my mom. They are always providing quality results and quality service. Very sweet people.

I would like to offer my apologies as this review was actually intended for their Hicksville location. However, I have been to this Commack location as well, and again, I've never had anything other than a positive experience. I frequently visit to have my eyebrows and upper lip threaded, and the ladies are all kind, and ensure that you are taken care of as quickly as possible. read more

Madiha has single-handedly ruined my eyebrows. No exaggeration. All of their staff (possibly with the exception of Nina) do not take the time to actually look at your eyebrows and shape them accordingly. They just "clean" each individual eyebrow without even considering whether or not they look symmetrical or caring for their shape and thickness. Now, when I say "clean", I mean that they only clean the hair that has grown outside of the shape. This is a problem because eyebrows grow differently every time they are threaded or waxed. I have fine eyebrows and they used to have a lot of potential for shaping since my hair was evenly spread out (when completely grown out). I told Madiha to make my brows thick, a little arched, symmetrical, and close together. She literally did the complete opposite. She "cleaned" my eyebrows, ruined their shape, made them further apart, EXTREMELY skinny, and one eyebrow was higher than the other. I have no idea how she managed to accomplish this. Its been over two years and my eyebrows STILL have not grown back to how they used to be -- thanks to her over-threading. I have bald spots in the areas that she has threaded and they are still uneven, asymmetrical, and far apart. I am now considering going into the city to get my eyebrows microbladed so that I can fix the damage that she has done. Side note: I've also gotten a hair updo done by Madiha once and she made me look like I was 40. It looked super retro (was not going for this look at all). I'm 24. Oh yeah, on top of that, she is almost always super rude and unwelcoming. I also wanted to mention that the rest of the staff (especially the new eyebrow ladies) are mediocre at threading eyebrows. I don't know why, but I still continued to go to Nina's after Madiha ruined my eyebrows. Instead of going to Madiha, I got them done by different staff just to see if it would come out better. I came in with my eyebrows penciled in to show them how I wanted it shaped. They still managed to screw it up. Every. Time. In the end, I ended up going to John Daniel Hair Salon (in Deer Park) to get my eyebrows done by a lovely woman who works in her own private room at the back of the salon. She asked me why my eyebrows were so jacked up and I told her about Nina's. Ironically, she told me that she used to work there and she agreed that the staff at Nina's will ruin your eyebrows because they only believe in "cleaning" their clients' eyebrows rather than shaping them. Hoping this review will save your eyebrows. Run away and never look back. read more

The most trusted salon I've been to! They are so professional and courteous in their work. I don't let anyone else touch my eyebrows or hair! I recently went in for color and a blow out and I get keep getting compliments everywhere I go. The prices are so fair for the amount of effort and patience they spend on you. I can guarantee that you won't leave this salon without feeling the utmost satisfaction! read more

Horrible horrible place! I went there for a haircut, very uncourteous staff. The hair dresser did such a pathetic job that I had to go to another hair dresser the same day to get it fixed. She did not even bother to show me if I was okay with the hair cut. She was just in a hurry to get to the next client without even finishing what she was doing. I had to tell her that she had missed a spot to trim the hair!!! Very bad experience. Never stepping into this place again. read more

I have gone to Nina's for over 3 years now and the past few times I have gone to get my eyebrows threaded, I have received poor quality service. The girls working would not answer my questions regarding eyebrow tinting, were in a rush, and managed to insult me in more ways than one. Even worse, my eyebrows came out completely uneven. After three years, I will no longer go back to Nina's for degrading, poor-quality service. read more

First I'm going to say if your going to be in the service industry, care about what your doing. I went in for a lip threading, very basic. This tiny young Indian or Pakistani girl put me in the chair, and asked what I wanted. I said just lip please. She got the tread I said please wax it first before you thread it. She literally "SLAPPED" the strip o my face, and "RIPPED" it off. (I get my lip wax once a week since I'm 16 im not new to pain.)The vigorously started threading my face while SHOVING my head to move it where she wanted it. I asked for lotion and she put it on my cheeks!!!!! not even looking where she was applying it. All of this took place in less than 45 seconds. I was then raped by a $6 fee. I then tipped her because I used to be a hairdresser so I understand the importance of tips for not even a Thank you. I will never return here and I live across the street, I'd rather drive to the one in East Northport on Larkfield which is half the price of this shit hole. An hour later my lip is on fire! read more

They're only friendly to family friends or people they've known a while. I came here for a few times and received rude service all the times. They took a lady who came after me to get threaded because they knew her and left me to wait. Eyebrows uneven. Unfriendly facial lady. Etc. read more

This place sucks! I used to go and get my highlights from them and they are soo rude. The woman came 1/2 hour late and still did not do a good job. I will never go there again. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Been coming here for about 8 years and I am more than satisfied every time. They are professional and clean. Best eyebrow threading around, with low prices and excellent service. Nina, you're the best ! read more

I have been coming here for years and have had facials, threading, henna, make up and updo's. The service and attention have always been outstanding. We have had many big parties and the staff has come to my home to do our make up and hair-always on time and outstanding service.The salon also runs specials on certain days, so if you'd like to save a few dollars, be sure to call and find out when and what those specials are. I'd never go anywhere else! read more

Great service. Nina and Madeeha are amazing at threading. Been going here for 6years. No issues. Make sure you explain how you like your brows threaded. Rule of thumb with any threading place you go to! Disagree with the other posts. read more

I have been coming here to get my eyebrows threaded for years and it never disappoints. I live in Manhattan now and always come by when I'm in town. read more

The only place I trust to thread my eyebrows! They are so gentle and fast. I have really deep roots and I never have tears or feel pain after I am threaded. This was not the case before I discovered Nina's. I've had facials too that are really nice and relaxing. read more

DO NOT I REPEAT... Do NOT come here! I visited the salon yesterday afternoon (Sept 2nd 2015) at around 2:45pm to get my eyebrows threaded. After I received the most excruciating treatment in my life where it felt as if she was taking her time, slowly pulingl each and every follicle of hair, (And I've been getting this treatment for over 5 years after switching from the old fashion waxing technique) I noticed red dots of blood on both my eye brow and eye lid. At first I saw two and drove home all the way in West Sayville to see ten more tiny cuts...! SHE BUTCHERED MY FACE! This morning I called to ask if scabbing was a normal thing that happens to people when they get their eyebrows threaded and the woman on the phone explained that I should put alcohol and lotion on it to make it go away. SHE DIDNT EVEN ANSWER MY QUESTION! I'm afraid they haven't been properly trained on this service and the coldness of her attitude disheartened me to ever return. It's sad that this establishment has not an ounce of empathy for a disgruntled customer. It's sadder that all of the other reviews are mostly terrible ones as well. Lesson learned: do your research people! read more

I've been going here for 3 years for eyebrow threading. I have had awful experiences in the past at other salons. This salon is spotless, the service is quick, and they always do a great job. The entire staff is skilled and I usually go to whomever is available and have had no issues with that. I moved further away and still make the commute to this salon. read more

I used to go to this place all the time and. Ever had a problem until recently. There's a new lady whose been working there this year and she's absolutely horrible. Doesn't know what she is doing. First off she pulls out each hair one by one and slow to the point where I have to stop her and I've. Wen getting my eyebrows threaded for 17 years no problem. But that's not even what I'm mad about. She completely took the shape out of my eyebrows making them straight taking the arch out! Who does that. I have been trying to grow them back for months now and I'm not getting anywhere to the point that I'm getting them tattooed this weekend. A six dollar mistake is costing me 500! But to me the eyebrows are the focal point of the face so I'll do what I have to do. I wanted to tell the manager to fire her and I'm not a mean person at all and I would usually never write a review like this either but wouldn't wish this on anyone. read more

This is the ONLY place I get my eyebrows done and only by one of the ladies, MADIYA. I'll settle for Nina the owner if it's an absolute must but it's literally last resort. I've tried the other women in states of emergency and it's either seriously painful (literally cutting my skin) or my eyebrows get butchered. So I guess in reality this review is for Madiya. I highly suggest going there and asking for her personally. You know she's great when the other two chairs are empty but people are waiting for her. I now call ahead to make sure she is working so I don't have to suffer at the hand of someone else. She will tell you to let your hair grown in if you have to and will always leave them in a perfect shape. She has always worked around my scar on my eyebrow while others leave it thinner than the other. The salon itself is always very clean and never too crowded. I've read the other reviews and can't help but agree that some do the ladies that work there now aren't the best but seriously, ask for Madiya. I recently brought my sister and she left so happy! read more

I'm new to the area and in desperate search of a place to have my eyebrows threaded or waxed. After asking around I decided to try out Nina's...boy was this place a disappointment! I walked in and asked to my have my eyebrows threaded. A nice young girl was instructed to provide me the service, can't remember her name, it started with an M. I quickly explained to her what I needed and she went to work. I wasn't 100% happy with the result but that's not what turned me off to the establishment. What did was their unwelcoming demeanor. Who I was assume are the owners and their daughters were on the phone the entire time and only acknowledged me when I went to pay. After I paid I thanked them for their service and wished them a great day. No one said a word to me, no "you're welcome"....."you too"...."have a great time." For me personally customer service is key. Despite not being fully satisfied with the threading had they been more inviting and attentive I would have likely gone back and maybe tried someone else. Customer service goes a long way. I will not be returning. read more
