    Lara G.

    During my recent visit to the Jim Henson exhibit at the Museum of Moving Image, I had the following conversation with Bert from Sesame Street: Me: Hi Bert. Bert: Hi Lara. Me: I see that you still have a uni-brow going on. Bert: I know. This is how my creator Jim Henson wanted me to be. Me: But Bert, you are in Astoria! There is a plethora of eyebrow threading salons, all in the pursuit of improving the original. :) Threading Way is indeed among the many threading salons that dot the Astoria map. And judging from the traffic of clients walking in and out, it is one of the busiest salons presumably because it is conveniently located along Steinway in Astoria. I have tried a number of threading salons where most of them either remove too much from my eyebrow or subject me to the cruel and inhuman punishment of eyebrow torture so I was a bit skeptical that I'd walk out a happy client. Then again, I have always believe in the possibility of good surprises and at $5 for eyebrow threading I was indeed satisfied with the efficient, light and gentle approach to my eyebrows. They also offer other services like waxing and facial but I doubt if Bert of Sesame Street will avail of any of these services considering that I still have to persuade him to subject his uni-brow to eyebrow threading.

    My girl did a fantastic job with my brows and I find that most of the time people don't get it right the first time without really knowing the person, being comfortable with their face shape, brow preferences as far as shape/length and thickness go. When I took a seat in the girl's chair I gave her the following instructions, "not too thin and with a slight arch" and off we were - 5 minutes they looks fantastic! Plus for only $5, that's great! I'm pretty sure her name was Sabhu :). Reason I gave Threading Way 4 stars instead of 5? I was asked like 3 times if I wanted other services. My mind was not going to change after I said 'No" the first time - I worked in C2B sales lady and asking a customer over and over (without any attempt to even switch it up) does not work. In all though I was pleased and will come here to do my brows for now on when I'm in Astoria.

    Went to get my eyebrows done and they butchered them. Don't go.. Not worth it

    I went to this place because I was around the area. I specifically told the older lady with glasses.. Just clean up and I don't want it too thin. What do I get? Butchered eyebrows. She took out too much from the inner corner of my brows which I had been growing out for awhile and she made them too thin. I did not want to pay. She kept saying that she followed the shape of what I had when I filled them but let they were thicker all I needed was a clean up. I paid the $5 I shouldn't have. Should've asked for the owner or something.... I hate it when they do this. Then they get offended. That lady was just laughing and talking with the other 2 and had she paid attention she wouldn't have butchered my brows the way she did. I honestly feel like going back and complaining. Do not go unless u have been going for awhile and seeing the same person because it is not worth it.

    Never again ! Stay away from that place , especially away from lady with glasses and she usually wears bright lipstick .Worst experience ever , i went to that place to do little clean up and colour , she didnt even pick up any of those hair and all she did she hurts me which u can see red spots under my eybrows , she didnt even offer me mirror to see , now i know why ... i wish i could post better picture but as u can see my eyebrows it looks just awfull , my eyebrows looks worst then before i came to salon ....

    My first wax experience here was not good. The technician was not at all empathetic to the pain I…read morewas experiencing and she basically rushed through my first ever Brazilian wax. I returned two days later to wax my legs and get a clean up of the hair left by the first tech. I was fortunate to get Daeja who was thorough, and she touched each area as soon as it was waxed, which helped to soothe the immediate pain. I quickly changed my next appointment from the first tech to Daeja. If you don't like walking barefoot on sketchy floors, I suggest bringing a pair of slippers when getting a leg wax. Also, I bought several of the recommended products and broke out so severely, I had to see a doctor who prescribed anti inflammatory meds. Check the ingredients before buying the products or do a patch test to ensure it agrees with your skin type. I look forward to my next wax with Daeja because I know she will be thorough and she is customer-friendly. I'm rating my second experience in this survey, not my first visit. If I rated my first visit with the other tech, I would have to rate it one star.

Now that I moved a few subway stops away, it takes me a bit longer to get to this location but it's still closer than Grand Central and plus with the Wax Pass offer, you get an extra free wax by going to this location for all of your waxes. I always sign up for the wax pass offer when it's available because you get 2-3 waxes free and it's an overall discount on the service as well. I've tried other wax places outside of EWC and prefer EWC. The quality and consistency is the best. Let me know if you'd like a referral! :o)

I will be doing this service again. The eyebrow lamination/tinting... will not be doing this again. It seems like a waste of money. The shape of my eyebrows is not great, I don't really think they look fuller, and yes they look a bit darker, but i feel like it only highlights the gaps of missing hair even more. First and last time doing eyebrow lamination or tinting. You can't really see in the photos, but one eyebrow is definitely thinner than the other. I hope they can grow out fast so I can repair the damage.

They have gift cards that you can pay upfront a set price like 20 dollars for 5 visits for threading so that it gives you 20-30 percent discount on services if you buy in bulk. It makes it convenient and so much cheaper to do these services. I just make sure to tip appropriately cuz these ladies work hard. The only con I can see is that sometimes they are super busy so I try to go during downtimes so i don't wait too long. Everything is clean and I always have good brow shaping.

(LOOL i removed the background so i do not expose my messy kitchen). i am certain the technician is skilled and amazing at her job, so it could just be how my nails are -- or there could be a bunch of other reasons why this happened. my lesson of the day is to always trust the reviews on yelp!

After the service, I noticed that there were huge chunks of skin ripped out below my eyebrow and at my upper lip. She told me it was normal for waxing and blamed it on my pimple? I've never had this happen before. I also noticed they double dip for the wax. I received no apologies, absolutely nothing. Never coming here again and would never recommend this place to anyone. ** Update: Went back and the manager, Ava, came in to apologize and offered a full refund. I appreciate her sincerity and she took full accountability for her employee's actions. The woman who did my service apologized but continued to make excuses as to why it happened and blamed it on the weather (?). She obviously didn't take accountability, but I didn't want to waste anymore time arguing with her. **

    NEVER GOING BACK / DO NOT RECOMMEND…read more I got a pedicure (booked through ClassPass). Pedicure itself was fine but when it came to tipping at the end, I wanted to tip through card / Apple Pay. However they insisted on cash or Venmo. I don't carry cash and my phone was dead (so no access to Venmo). HOWEVER they forced me to charge my phone with the salon charger so they can receive tip through Venmo. This was humiliating and not to mention entitled of the salon to assume that they earned a tip. They acted this way even though there were other customers in the salon watching all of this happen. After charging my phone for a min, they admitted that they can accept tip through card. The pedicure itself was fine but I am never going back here for the horrible customer service. Up until this point, the service was great and I was planning on making Kawaii Salon my main spot for manis and pedis. Ended up tipping $10 on $60 pedi.
