New York Thread

I only get my eyebrows done here but I ONLY GO TO DOLLY. Yes, they do try to «upsell» other services and I have bought some. Just stick to the basics, which is the eyebrow threading. The henna is bad and I didn’t like it. It’s not their specialty.

I have been here for threading for more than 5 times all the times it was done wonderfully. All the girls did it well and I recommended her service to my friends all the time

The eyebrows are even but THIN! I specifically told the lady «I just want a clean, I like thick eyebrows.» She nodded and went in and on. She offered to do lip and forehead but I said NO. Thank God.

Found this place several weeks ago and had been there twice before today. Different person. So I tell her that I wanted my brows cleaned up and not to thin them out. She says okay. After a several minutes, she hands me the mirror. And what has she done? Thinned my brows! I then tell her that’s not what I wanted. She said my brows had no shape and she shaped them. Why did she thin them out as well? She tells me that she can thicken them the next time I visit. SERIOUSLY? Does she really think I am returning to a place that has folks who don’t listen. I am so pissed. I’m a 20%+ tipper but not today. This would have been a great opportunity for them to retain my business. Oh and make sure you ask for the price before they start… overheard a couple of folks very surprised at the final cost of threading… I think it was $ 50 bucks for two people. Ridiculous. I hope my review helps those who prefer wonderfully done eyebrows… this is definitely not the place. On to the threaders at Potomac Mills.

I was charged $ 19.00 for my brows, I said the sign says $ 11.00 the lady said I charged you more because you have thick brows. She did a crap job, just go to Potomac mills. Avoid this place.

Beware of the upsell. I walked in and asked for a brow and upper lip. Apparently their definition of each of those is very narrow. She ended up doing nearly my whole face by incrementally telling me I had patches here and there she could take care of. No mention that these patches constituted new «charge zones» all of which added up to $ 50. I even told her no a couple of times and she kept pushing. She made sure to do just one brow before working on other zones she was pushing, so I couldn’t just walk out like I wanted. I’ve been getting this done for years at a variety of salons and I’ve never paid that much or felt so taken advantage of by a service provider.

This place immediately caught my eye when I walked by it. I’ve been getting my eyebrows threaded for years now and this place looked nice and clean.
The technician (not sure what to call her) was gentle and listened to what I wanted. Surprisingly, it didn’t hurt much, as I’ve experienced this with other places. She let me hold a mirror and look in it frequently to provide feedback. She then decided to try up selling me by showing me a brow powder that she said was awesome. I agree it looked very natural and I almost fell for the $ 25.99 price tag until I saw the brand name. I’m a makeup artist who is very familiar with brands of varying pricing. She was trying to sell me a Klean Colors eyebrow kit, which sells for $ 1.99 for $ 25.99. I decided to look up the product while in the store to show them the true price and was told «he» just told them how much to charge. After this admission I was rushed out of the store.
This sucks because my brows actually look great.

If I could give no star I would. I went to this place because they had a Groupon for lash extensions for $ 29.00. The price should have tipped me off that there was something wrong. The lashes at NY Thread are applied while you are sitting in a barber chair, they use the false eyelashes that I have purchased at Ulta that are groups of three lashes. They were applied using black false eyelash glue (not the glue that you should use for extensions) and she said I have to keep my eye open while she applied them. She kept getting the glue in my eye and under the lid, there were huge clumps of glue and the entire job took her 30 minutes (extensions typically take an hour). By the time she was done I just wanted out of there. Horrible experience, I couldn’t stand the big clumps of glue and by morning the lashes on the sides were on my pillow. Since she used false eyelash glue the lashes came off very easily the next day. I talked myself into it by thinking that they are fairly new, normally do threading and maybe they are trying to get into the lash extension business and Groupons help bring in business. I was wrong. I don’t know why I didn’t leave as soon as I realized that what I was getting was a sloppy application of false eyelashes and not lash extensions. All I can say is that I am an optimist and kept thinking it would get better. Please don’t make the same mistake I did. I guess I should give a positive since I gave them one star… it looked that the people who were getting threaded looked pleased with their w
