The Threading Station

Like all the other reviews, I can not express enough how disappointment I am in the lack of professionalism and quality of this place. I have been here several times hoping that a different girl will change my mind. One of the women gave me a terrible burn around my eyebrows. Instead of listening to me that it hurt, she just kept talking about herself. Next I tried Sharmi (sp?), and while she was decent at her job, she was very unprofessional in the questions she asked me.
One time I came in and saw her studying for her drivers ed exam and she asked me to help her study. I felt bad because she said she was alone here, so I did answer a few questions about driving in America. While I was annoyed, I decided to go back to her another time because I thought it was just a cultural miscommunication and she just needed help. The next, and last time that I went over there, she started discussing with me inappropriate topics such as her religion and even asking me immigration questions. My final straw was when she started questioning why I wasn’t married yet. I felt she, as well as the other women working there are unprofessional and perform sub-​par work but charge $ 12.
Tonight I tried threading at Impressions salon in East Brunswick and was very happy with the service.

I’ve had two good experiences here and one terrible one after which I will not be returning. I went to the Threading Station after a coworker (with fabulous brows) recommended it. She specifically said go to Sharmi. When I went the first time, a woman named Molo was there and she did a great job. Molo did my brows once more and again she did a nice job. I specifically went a third time on a Monday night (when Molo was supposed to be there) and instead there was a woman I did not recognize. I asked if Molo was available and she rambled something about how the schedule is never consistent. I then asked if she was Sharmi and she said no. I guess she could sense my apprehension (brows are serious business-​you can’t trust just anyone!) so she started going on saying, «I’m a professional, don’t worry your brows are uneven now and I will fix them.» I desperately needed my eyebrows done and I figured she was a professional like she said. Huge mistake. She spent probably 2 minutes with me in total, ripped off my brows in an attempt to make them «even», and then trimmed them to such excess that they’ve now grown in in random directions. She could tell I was unsatisfied and kept saying, «see now they’re even,» and even asked a customer waiting if she agreed but didn’t even give her a chance to answer before taking my money and pushing me out the door. For the sake of my brows, I absolutely cannot return.

I got my eyebrows done before my sister’s wedding. I was cut in 3 places and left with both eyebrows cut. I had to use vaseline in hopes of not having a healing red mark at the wedding. The lady said o had an ingrown hair which was bogus. Especially not in 3 places. Now I have a scar where one cut was really bad and my eyebrow won’t grow back in right. Be careful who you trust with your beauty.

After reading all the previous horrible reviews decided to give it a shot… Shared with the tech/​probably aka owner the Unilocal status that they are at… Not a good look. She did a good job — average & comparable to anywhere else. Could have traveled the extra miles to go to no Brunswick or highland park for $ 8 less. Probably should have. There is no extras. Although the place looks fancy the service is not.

Avoid this place like the plague! Overconfident, rude staff and supremely overpriced services. What’s-her-name (in my huffy rush to get out of there, forgot to get that name!) rushed through threading my eye brows, inadvertently ripped off a patch she shouldn’t have and when I asked her to slow down, kept insisting it was deliberate and that she does this all day, so no biggie! Then without checking with me, she splashed aloe — which my skin is strangely sensitive to. So obviously, I stopped her and asked for simple moisturizing lotion instead — to which she had the gall to tell me they «only apply aloe for threading»! 20 bucks for what costs 12 at the other threading salon in the same mall. Ridiculous!

Horrible horrible horrible. The lady working there has no idea how to thread. She shortened my eyebrows and they are currently two different shapes.
