Apna Bazaar

Do NOT go here for eyebrow threading! I just left and I am missing chunks of my eyebrows!
I walked in and an older lady came out and I could not understand what she was saying. She asked if I just wanted my eyebrows «cleaned» to which I replied yes because I already have them shaped the way I like them, I just had some strays to removed. The older lady was one I had never seen before although I don’t go to get my eyebrows done that often. The last time I was here I saw a younger girl who did an amazing job. And I’ve never had an issue with anyone else at this place when I have come in the past.
She shaped my right side and then asked me if it was ok. I could tell she was taking too much off so I said don’t make them thin and she said ok. She then proceeded to the left side which she left very thick. Then went back to the right and took a chunk out! I could tell she knew she messed up because she tried to brush it so that it covered up the gap. But it didn’t. So not only do I have chunks of hair missing I also have one eyebrow thicker than the other! I’m so angry and I will never go back here again!

not the best threading parlor but they do a pretty good job for the price. The staff are really nice and friendly and try their best to do a good job. I would come back for the dedicated service if not the efficiency. Felt more like a valued customer here compared to Dupont Threading where they just shuffle through customers like a deck of cards and charge you an outreageous amount.

Let my just preface this by saying I never write reviews, so this should be a large indicator of the kind of service I got.
When I get my eyebrows threaded, my biggest concern is usually them making it too thin. Well, thanks Apna Bazaar for adding a new fear to my list: threading off a chunk of my eyebrow.
I’ve gone here for the past two years or so and have never had an issue. After the latest visit, I will never come back because of what happened and how they handled it.
When I came in, the person who did my eyebrows was someone I had never seen before. I wish I had gotten her name so that everyone could be aware of who to avoid.
She began working on my right eyebrow (the one with a chunk of missing hair) and it took a lot longer than usual, (both eyebrows usually take no longer than about 7 minutes, that’s how long she took for that one) of course I didn’t say anything assuming she was new. She then started working on the left one, but kept coming back to the right one for some reason, this caused me to raise suspicion.
«It’s too small» she said about my right eyebrow. I knew my hair was more sparse than a lot of people, but no one there has ever complained about that.
She then reluctantly got the mirror and focused it on the tail of my right eyebrow. She pointed out that it was very thin (which was fine with me) but she had made it a lot shorter than where it usually ends.
I then grabbed the mirror and looked at both of my eyebrows… she had completely threaded off the front of my eyebrow.
«WHAT HAPPENED?» I exclaimed, and she kept denying that anything happened and she didn’t see anything and kept referring me back to the tail, like that was the problem I should be focusing on. I sat there in a panic just rubbing the area where my hair once was. The fact that she didn’t own up to her mistake is what made me irate.
Another lady finally came out of the office, only because another customer came in. She saw that I was questioning what happened to the lady tending to me so she comes over and asks «what’s wrong?»
I pointed out what the other lady had done, her only response was «there’s nothing we can do now.»
While I understood that this wasn’t something that couldn’t be reversed. I couldn’t believe that they weren’t even apologetic.
The other lady told me to relax and took over finishing the rest of my eyebrows. At this point I didn’t even care how they ended up looking because it’s evident that part of my eyebrow was missing. She told me to remain in my seat and continued to work.
At the end of it all, she told me to pay 5 dollars to the first lady (the normal price is 7.) I was shocked that they would even ask me to pay after that whole ordeal. I made it clear to her that I should not be paying considering what happened. Well, they won that argument and I had to pay. The second lady then handed me a card and told me to ask for her next time. «Just pencil it in» she said. I grabbed it and walked out.
Now don’t get me wrong, 5 dollars is nothing, but I didn’t and still don’t believe that they should’ve made me pay that. I also know that hair grows back, but I’m upset that they didn’t even once apologize. Had that first lady admit that she accidentally threaded that portion off, maybe I would consider going back there. Terrible that it happened, and terrible how they handled it. You lost a customer. And my eyebrows are all screwed up just in time for Valentine’s Day.
I attached an image of my eyebrows… The drawing is where my hair originally ended. The other is a comparison of my two eyebrows.

I stopped going here after they screwed up my eyebrows, lost my shape and it took me 2 months to get back to what they had created. I now go to the threading place in Tyson’s which I like

I’ve been searching for a decent, reasonably priced place to get my eyebrows threaded. The reviews for this place looked promising, but I was sorely disappointed. I asked the young woman to leave my brows thick and just clean them up. She did an acceptable job on my right brow, but my left brow ended up much thinner and a totally different shape than the right. I was visibly upset by the results and she just stammered that she was doing her best and tried to explain why she took so much more off the left side. I think it was because she was talking to her colleague the entire time she was doing the left side. Although not terribly painful, it wasn’t as comfortable as places I’ve been to on the west coast. She was also a bit rude, grabbing my hands and putting them into place when I didn’t understand her request to «make a circle» (pull my eyelid down and forehead up). I was really hoping that this place would deliver as you can’t beat a $ 7 price, but my search for good brow service in the DMV continues.

No one likes a uni-​brow which is why I go to this place to keep the beast at bay. The salon is located all the way in the back (past the clothing and jewelery). It may look a little rough, but it’s a solid place.
One of the quickest threadings I’ve ever had and always very precise. They accept credits cards (which is a nice plus), but you’ll have to give a tip in cash. For some reason they don’t have that option on the receipt.
I haven’t tried any of their other services. Honestly, threading is all I need, so I’ll keep coming back for that.

I have been coming here for years for eyebrows and facials. They have the best deal in the DMV for eyebrow threading at $ 7.Sometimes they are packed with ladies waiting in line on weekends usually the first and last Saturday of the month. But they move fast!
The Clothing and accessories store is beautiful! they always have items on sale! bright colors and pretty bracelets.
The Jewelry store is great too! make sure you stop in and look around to treat yourself on something
The staff is always friendly and nice.

They fixed the ceiling! yeah!!!
An older lady did my brows a couple months ago and she destroyed them — -hot mess! The younger gals do the best job!

I came in here for threading and was in and out in under 15 minutes. $ 7 for a great arch and clean up. If you’ve been searching for somewhere to get your eyebrows done this place is worth checking out.

Threading is my hair removal tool of choice. Not only is it more gentle on skin than waxing, the process leaves a more clean and precise eyebrow shape since each hair is pulled out one at a time.
I randomly stumbled upon Apna Bazaar which markets themselves as an Indian jewelry store but offers items such as beautiful handmade saris, Bollywood movies in Betamax format, and hair removal services!
While I have not been able to purchase the first two items listed, I can vouch to say their hair removal services are top notch. For six bucks (equivalent to six junior bacon cheeseburgers) you can get your eyebrows styled quickly and painlessly. Not too thick, not too thin and with an arch that is out of this world.
I deducted one star because the threading area could use some sprucing up (it is literally a hole in the wall) but other than that I have no complaints!

I was very disappointed in this place. As an Indian, I found that this shop was far more expensive than other Indian clothing stores in the area. In addition, I went to Apna Bazaar jewelry store to shop for wedding rings. The store did not have a large selection of wedding rings but they had a catalog in which the owner Sam said we could order anything out of. I was lucky enough to find the rings we wanted in the store. I asked him if I would receive a certificate of authenticity for the diamonds and he said sure, no problem. After I paid for the rings with my credit card, he jotted down the details of the ring on a carbon receipt. When I told him that this was not a certificate of authenticity he said that it was all he gave out. I left the rings there to get them engraved. We had asked him if it would be ready the following week and he said sure. Unfortunately, it was a huge headache trying to get my rings back. After talking to several employees and hearing a lot of excuses, I went into the store to have a face to face with Sam. He didn’t even apologize for being late with the rings and proceeded to imply that it was our fault for not letting them know that there was a sensitive deadline. He was extremely rude the entire time. I finally got my rings back but I never want to go there again.

Beautiful jewelry, great prices, will do custom designs. Loved the place!
