Magic Threading Place

Nitu is clean and professional. I arrived at noon, and she was not the when it says online she should be. I called her, and she said she would be 15 mins. She showed up 25 mins later and I was annoyed. But once she started threading she did a good job and it was painless. I will come back, but I’ll call ahead of time.

It’s no New York threading shop but it gets the job done.
Eyebrow threading is $ 10 which kills me since I can get them done in NY for $ 5 but 10 is decent for Boston, especially with a convenient location of Central Square. I’m always scared to try a new eyebrow place but the woman was conservative and cleaned up my eyebrows pretty well.
The place is not very busy but there is only was only one worker and I definitely felt her start rushing when another customer walked in so I would try to come in during an off time of day. On the bright side, this was the most pain free threading experience I’ve ever had!
CASH ONLY

For those haven’t tried threading — try it! It’s a great way to shape eyebrows, and if you’re getting it done by a professional, it’s almost painless.
Nitu does a great job. She’s got a steady hand and a good eye for shape. She’s also really hygienic — she wears a mask, which isn’t common among professional threaders but probably should be. The threading is virtually painless and leaves the skin incredibly smooth (much better than plucking). She rents a single chair in a hair salon and seems to do pretty brisk business, but it’ll take her about 10 minutes to do a single person’s eyebrows to perfection. I’ve never made an appointment, I always just walk in. Sometimes I’ve had to wait 15 minutes, but never more. The upper lip and eyebrows are $ 16, while eyebrows alone are $ 10. That’s twice what I pay in NY, but still really good. I go once every three weeks or so, and have almost no issues with that timeframe.
I highly recommend this place. It’s also right next door to the T, so really easy to get to.

Nitu is great with the thread. Not too painful, and she really takes her time. That said, if there’s someone in front of you, you might have to wait a while. $ 15 for upper lip and eyebrows — pretty good for Boston! I tried another place in the Back Bay, and that was a disaster (came back with broken skin and break-​outs). Not so with this place! This is now my regular threading salon. Btw, it is CASH ONLY! So go to the ATM ahead of time.

Consistently good. I’ve had trouble finding that at other area threading salons, but this one-​woman business is the one I have come to trust with my face. The owner is gentle with the thread, so there’s hardly any pain. She also takes her time to sculpt my eyebrows exactly how I like them. And the price: very nice. Eyebrows and upper lip cost $ 15.

Looks like I’m the first real review for this place?
I live pretty close and have walked by this place a bunch of times before finally deciding to give it a shot. Usually I’m pretty wary — having poorly done eyebrows is just so unfortunate — but I was getting really desperate /​lazy. It was surprisingly good! Quick service, gentle enough on my skin, and my eyebrows were done decently well. Pretty sure it was $ 10, which is cheaper than most the places around Harvard Square — and whoever works here is definitely better at threading than the people around Harvard Square.
Shape was completely fine. I told her just to clean up my eyebrows, which she did perfectly (though a little slow and a little bit painful).
Will definitely be back. The 3 stars is because I haven’t found a place in Boston yet that’s as good as places in NYC — in terms of speed (everyone here is so much slower!), pain, shaping, price.
