HIBBA NYC

$ 17 for eyebrow threading is stupid, maybe I’m just used to Brooklyn prices but I think that’s way too expensive. Also didn’t make my eyebrows the same. Nice staff though.

love! Love! LOVVVVVVVEEEEEE THIS PLACE! I’ve been going here for almost 2 years now and I’m just so happy with them. They’re reasonably priced with various packages to fit your budget and with 3 convenient locations within Manhattan, you can’t go wrong! My girl is Jigana! A total sweetheart! She does everything for me! She’s thorough and precise and takes real pride from making customers happy. She is an artist! She retrained my eyebrows to my desired shape and her delicate touch makes the Brazilian a breeze. I would highly recommend Hibba, you won’t be disappointed! And ask for Jigana… Tell her I sent you! ;))

I had my eyebrows threaded there last week. It hurt more than normal and when I said that, the stylist said I must just be extra sensitive. The next day, I saw that she had nicked skin on several spots and I now have multiple scabs above my eyes! Terrible, never going back.

Zero stars, would be more appropriate.
$ 15 for eyebrow threading is ridiculous.
Staff is not friendly.
Their tactic or thread makes it incredibly painful.
When you walk in, they ask if you have an appointment, even if it’s completely empty, and they are doing you a favor.
Avoid this place!!!

Simply the best– better than all the rest. Gina is awesome– fast simple and almost pain free.

BEST waxing salon! I have been going for 2 years and this is my go to place, really convenient location for me because it’s right by my office. I’ll usually go during my lunch break and the entire process will take no more than 15 minutes. I think the prices are pretty average compared to all other salons. I bought a 3 pack brazilian package online and it cost about $ 85. Great package especially if you go there consistently, they even offer a points program if you book online, buy more packages, etc.
I typically go to Natasha or Jignasa but all the women there are amazing and know what they’re doing. The great thing is the women work at both lcoations. Also, they don’t double dip! The salon is smaller but very well decorated and private because all rooms are separated. Waxing process is painful but that’s anywhere I go, they do a great job at treating any irritation or pain.
Haven’t done the eyebrow service but looks pretty good, will definitely be checking it out. Looks like most women go there for that as well!

I started coming here with a voucher that I bought on Lifebooker for Brazilian Wax and have continued coming here ever since. It’s been about a year now and every time I go it is quick and easy. Of course not painless but they take care to make it less uncomfortable than it already is. It is also easy to get appointments. I just call up. I’m usually able to get appointments for the day and time that I want. the staff is also very nice.

Extremely shady business practices. I bought the $ 45 voucher on Unilocal which says it’s redeemable for $ 60 of services. (Below are the terms and conditions.) When I went to redeem the deal, they said that they I couldn’t use it on eyebrow threading and it had to be on other service and used all at once. Neither of which is specified when you buy it. After I complained, they emailed me the next day saying that they will allow me to apply this towards eyebrows this one time. By then I had already complained to Unilocal to get a refund. Save the headache and go elsewhere. This place will try to rip you off!

I have gone many times since and this is my go to for wax. Always good attention to detail.

This review could serve either Hibba location — brazilian waxes here are amazing. Efficient, fast, and as pain free as possible. The people are always extremely friendly. I am sooo bummed to be leaving NYC since it means I’ll have to find a new waxing spot.
I actually haven’t done the eyebrow services here, but am planning to next week. I’ve been letting my eyebrows just grow and grow so that I can have an expert (anyone from Hibba) shape them.

I bought a 3-​pack brazilian from lifebooker (I think, or it may be another Groupon-​esque website). I used 2 out of the 3 and had received great service — everyone was nice and accommodating. The space felt a little lacking in privacy, as the rooms were only divided by paper-​thin make-​shift walls, so you could hear conversations next door but those are minor complaints I could definitely live with, given the quick and easy (not painless, but then again, I don’t think anyone should expect a Brazilian to be painless).
Given all of the above, my one-​star rating seems very harsh but this is a direct complaint against management. I did not realise the 3-​pack had an expiration date sooner than I expected, when I did realise, it was about 3 days before the date and I didn’t need one yet. I called straight away to see what options they could offer me. I fully realise this is my own fault and said as much to the person answering the phone. She was very sweet and promised to call me back after consulting with her manager.
She called about 30minutes later and said that the best they can do, is to offer me the cash value of the 1 brazilian still unused — and this cash value can be applied to a future service. It only amounted to something like 15 dollars but I was very happy and thanked her. She assured me this value has been added to my account and I can book a service at any time.
A couple of months later, I called again to book an appointment and use this remaining balance, only to be informed by the manager herself that there is nothing in my account. And that the rule is, the promotional value of the pack will only be applied if I hadn’t started the pack at all. Even after I explained the situation, she was adamant that nothing can be done. A completely different story to when I called the first time. I don’t know if there was a personnel change during the two months period but I find this highly unprofessional, to tell your client one thing and then to go back on your word just like that.
I will not be coming back here despite the efficient service, because I believe a business should honor their promise to clients.

I love Hibba, the person and the brand, I’ve been going to them for my Brazilian waxes exclusively for over a year now. I usually visit the Hibba in Soho, but happened to be near the Madison avenue location and in desperate need of services.
I recognized Jassi right away! She used to do my waxing at another salon (before I found Hibba, that I stopped being able to afford). She’s very thorough, very caring, and very communicative. She makes you feel comfortable right away. When I discussed the Hibba membership with her, she was knowledgeable and told me about the other deals offered. Never up selling or pushy.
I deducted a star from my review based on the overall look of the Madison avenue location. Soho is cozier.
Fortunately Jassi works at both locations!

Natasha is my absolute favorite and go-​to for eyebrows. She takes her time, is always calm, and I never leave disappointed. I have also had Hibba do my eyebrows, and she is great as well. I walked in panicked as another random threading salon ruined my eyebrows. Needless to say, it has taken YEARS to get them back on track. Thanks to Natasha, they are so close to being perfect!
While it is pricier than the usual threading salons, the time is well spent and I would rather have even eyebrows then risk saving the extra few dollars!

I got a Gilt voucher for a Brazilian wax before a vaca. I booked well in advance and ONE day before my appointment they call to tell me they need to re-​book my appt for an earlier time I really can’t make it — they say it ‘s that or 4 days later (at which point I will be on vaca) so I say I will try to make it to the earlier one.
I know early on that I will be running few min late and want to make sure I can still be seen — I called 15x over the course of the day. Finally I just went, and ended up waiting about 20 minutes to be seen.
The «salon» is a random room on the 5^th floor in a fairly sketchy office building, and the waxing rooms are kind of dingy and you can hear everything going on in other room. The whole place seemed kind of run-​down.
The wax itself was pretty good, I was seen by Linda.
The whole place was chaotic with people arguing for mischarges, rebooking of appts, etc. It seems poorly run and I am not sure I would go back.

Been a client for many years starting at the soho location. Still wonderful service after all these years! I’ve tried many other places out of convenience but nothing compares to Hibba so I make the time to come.
From making sure clients clothes are protected during waxing to keeping a clean work area, it’s the attention to small details that makes Hibba different from others.
Highly recommend this place and have been sending friends her way!

I, like most, dread getting waxed but I must say that Amandeep at this location is by far the best for a Brazilian!!!
She makes this painful and uncomfortable process quick, easy and honestly not so uncomfortable.
It is almost like going to one of my girlfriends to get it done. Not only is she great but so is the receptionist. She is always so accommodating and so sweet.
I only post on Unilocal when I feel like I want to help others when making rather important decisions especially when there is pain involved lol :)

I have mixed experience with this place.
I bought the three Brazilian wax deal on lifebooker.
1^st, the receptionist is friendly, efficient, and great. I had no problem getting an appointment.
2^nd, first and last time I went, I didn’t have to wait but the second time I had to wait about 20 minutes passed my appointment time.
3^rd, 1^st and second time I went it hurt REALLY bad! second time was the worst because I had really bad ingrown and it was horrible.
But the last time (3^rd time) I went was the best. I got it done by Jina, and she was quick and it didn’t hurt much at all. She was quick and thorough, probably the most thorough I have ever gotten my Brazilian. (the 1^st & 2^nd time I don’t remember who did it, but it wasn’t jina).
I really recommend Jina to do your waxes, and I will ask for her in the future as well.

Very positive experience here today. I purchased a Lifebooker deal for 2 Brazilian waxes at $ 19 each. Too good of a price to pass up and this place is close to my office.
So happy with the result! Jigana was really nice and worked fast but was thorough. Really clean wax job.
My only complaints would be the small space — my leg was hitting the thin wall on one side and the lack of A/​C or fan. I was sweating during the procedure. Pain + heat is not a good mixture.
I definitely plan to come back here. FYI — if you purchase a deal, make sure you tip according to original price, which is 45. Also, you need to pay the tax in cash (mine was 1.50).

Ok. So I haven’t been on Unilocal in while which is why I am updating so long after my original appointment. But I remember this experience in great detail.
I still stand by my original review and just wanted to add that the following day after my appointment I had a rash that looked like an allergic reaction to the was and was sore. Not fun. Would not recommend this place… Sorry.

4 stars for my eyebrow threading and 2 star for my wax to get me ready for bathing suit season. I came here since I knew I’d be in the ‘hood and I snagged a Lifebooker loot and it seemed reputable via Unilocal reviews. The place is tiny and instead of getting tortured in the confines of my own private room, temporary walls are up with about a 4 – 6 inch gap at the ceiling. Now, as I get older I value privacy more and more and I don’t need for any stranger danger waxing neighbor to know what the hell is getting waxed and what isn’t. The place isn’t lavish by any means and clearly that’s what keeps this place’s price down though the eyebrow was a pretty steep service at $ 15.
The wax itself isn’t even and with some strays left over has something to be desired. Shobha NYC does an amazing job but they are double the price here but I guess it’s true, you pay for what you get. It however was a fast process and the woman ripped quickly and efficiently. Yowza. What we do in the name of beauty.
