Aalok Fashion

I visit this place regularly for eyebrow threading. I love the precision in threading, the price is also great and its super quick.

Great place! I have been meaning to try threading and finally went. I am glad I went here and I plan to return again. Great job and for a fabulous price!

This place gets the job done at an affordable price ($ 8 for eyebrow threading — for comparison, eyebrow waxing in waltham is $ 16, threading in brighton is $ 10). I came in asking to have my brows be threaded so that they would be straighter, the lady nodded, and then went ahead making them archy — she explained that because my brows are too archy to begin with, but I’d appreciate if she had just told me that upfront. Anway, I am still giving this place 5 stars because my brows still look good afterwards lol and the price is unbeatable

I lived in Waltham for a long time and had Manisha do my eyebrows and then moved to the South Shore. I tied Norwood, Braintree mall, and a few other places and they messed my eyebrows every single time. Also they are extremely painful. Manisha does a great job and understands face shapes and eyebrow shapes. But she also listens to you and does what you want her to do. I still drive 30 miles one way just to get my eyebrows done by Manisha

Quick and easy–
Prices seem fair–
Pretty tolerable discomfort–
Don’t expect a lot of ambience of chit –chat

I love this place threading is awesome. No pain. The tall lady she is very well behaving. She always advise me for my skin. i like her nature. this place is good to go. Threading within no time. :)

You would never think to walk in for eyebrow threading from the outside but they do a fabulous job! Quick, easy, painless and spot on! My go to spot now.
Bring cash!

After a lot of searching for indian/​pakistani outfits in Boston, I came upon Aalok Fashion! So glad I did, as soon as I walked it, I was greeted and asked how I could be helped. The women was very nice and told me to have a seat and look through pictures and she would pull out outfits I liked. I tried on several outfits until I found one that I liked. Another women helped me as well, both were very kind and provided great customer service, the outfit needs some alteration but they kindly included it in my the price of the outfit and can have it ready in time for when I need it later this week for a wedding! Highly recommend this place!

This is a no frills kind of place, so if you’re wanting that spa experience you should probably go somewhere else. If you want to get your eyebrows looking fresh to death for a reasonable price, go to Aalok.
I get my eyebrows threaded here every 3 weeks. They do a good job and have lower prices than any other threading establishment I’ve found in this area! The threading women there are generally very friendly and recognize me as a regular. I especially recommend getting either Pallavi or Maneesha (sp?) to thread your eyebrows — they both give them a good shape and are relatively quick. I have occasionally gotten small nicks from threading but I think that could happen with almost anyone.
Overall, I give Aalok the thumbs up!

I stopped waxing my eyebrows a while ago because my usual lady moved away so I was at a loss. Then, I found this place and became a fan immediately.
The place is small and they have two ladies threading eye brows. I recommend Maneesha. She is very nice and makes my eyebrows look great. Even my boyfriend commented on how great my eyebrows looked! A boy noticing your eyebrows threaded? If THAT doesn’t make you want to go here, I don’t know what will!!!
Eyebrows threading costs $ 8 — how affordable!
They also sell clothing items, but it has never been the motive of my visit, so I can’t comment on that.

Brought material here to have a fitted blouse made to match a sari I was given as a gift. Design was beautiful and it fits perfectly. Cost was about $ 30-​$ 40 which is reasonable considering they provided the underlying blouse material, and that they take it back to India to be made. Will continue to bring my business here!

This place was very very small. I went to look for saris. There was an Eid special, but most of the saris came without blouses and/​or with unstitched blouses with not many choices under $ 100… I was happy with the sales associates but the place was so uncomfotably hot and there really is so little room! It’s like walking through a hallway. The variety was poor and didn’t meet my style.
I went to Chhabra’s in Cambridge (only about 10 minutes away on Mass Ave) and I was immediately pleased. I would reccommend there for Indian wear.

There is almost never a wait and the ladies treat every customer as if they’re regulars. Will be coming here till I relocate. Love it.

While I wouldn’t say Aalok is a destination, if you live, work or go to school in the area, do your eyebrows a favor and do not pass this place up!
This place was recommended to me by a friend and I was so pleased with the experience. I had never tried threading before but I am a changed woman. For $ 6 (for students, $ 8 regularly), I received a less than 10-​minute eyebrow shaping (very natural and clean looking) which has lasted quite well these past couple weeks (with some minor tweezing upkeep before I go back for my next threading).
The shop is small, yes, but they are seriously efficient. I did not have time to browse the merchandise but I will make sure to do so next time I’m in. There will certainly be a next time. And it’s always good to support your local business so hooray!

Great place to go for eyebrow threading! I’ve honestly never even browsed around any part of the store, but the threading is so worth it. Its $ 8, $ 6 for students on weekdays (which I always say I am). Also, they don’t just clean them up like a lot of places, they shape them, and not too thin either. I never make an appointment, and they have been able to take me without waiting every time.
Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the place itself is small, cramped, and I’d go so far as to say dirty (the store itself, not the threading area), and you get threaded in the very front of the store. Some of the women in there aren’t very friendly, but some are pretty nice. If you can get past those details, my eyebrows always look great when I leave, and you can’t beat the price.

Oh… I am definitely a fan. As are my eyebrows.
I’m a fairly low maintenance girl. I don’t dye my hair, I’m horrible at keeping up with haircuts, if my makeup takes longer than 10minutes I will leave without it, and I hadn’t done my eyebrows until 2010. At that point I only did them because it was free with a haircut (compliments of a Groupon). I did them once, realized I looked significantly better, went back to do them again, and then ignored my eyebrows for months. I just could not justify the $ 20. Besides, the first time it barely hurt and looked good. The second time I was less than thrilled. I thought I would just have natural eyebrows again until someone introduced me to Aalok.
I’m going to be totally honest with you all. I hadn’t done my eyebrows in about 8 months. They weren’t looking good. As a direct result of that and my incredibly sensitive skin, my threading did hurt a bit. I flinched like a baby and I’m not ashamed to say I think they were laughing at me. It’s fine.
Since then it doesn’t hurt at all! And I am a total wimp. Honestly, come up to me and just say the word «needle». Enjoy watching the tears swell in my eyes and how you can visually see my heart race. But this total wimp can take threading (especially when you aren’t cleaning up 8 months of my negligence).
You should be warned that it’s cash only, but for $ 8 they deserve it ALL. Yay girly indulgence!

This is my go-​to place for eyebrow shaping. I turned to threading after a visit to NYC and was so happy to have this charm of a store open up in my hometown. I love how I can just walk in and get my eyebrows done in less that 15 minutes –in and out.
I wish they kept the threading chairs/​area in the back of the store, though. I hate having to get my eyebrows done in the front of the store (without any privacy) and being the FIRST thing people see when they walk in the store.
The location of the threading chair, though, does not interfere with the quality of work – and that I appreciate more than anything. I have been coming here ever since the store opened and will not go anywhere else.
Love having a place that I can count on for brow shaping – everytime.
oh! and did I mention that they offer a student discount?
You get extra kudo points for that Aalok! :)

THREADING HAS CHANGED MY LIFE LOL!
Yeah it may look like a whole in the wall, but so what, they do an awsome job! They are quick and in my opinion the precision is what makes it so much better than waxing, and of course you dont have to worry about them burning you, however they also provide waxing services.
and of course I cant think of the girl that does my eyebrows, but she’s the owner.
only sucky part is they are closed on Mondays.

I discovered that this place did threading from a friend. There has only been one time (in the past 2 years) where i was unhappy with the end result, my brows came out too thin… but maybe it was a new girl?
The only thing that bugs me is that the women are pretty unfriendly, and sometimes border line rude. I dont know if its because I’m not indian or what… but i never really get a friendly greeting, no salon appropriate small talk, no «take a look/​is that ok?» when they’re finished. I mean, i’ll keep coming back regardless because the end result is the best ive ever had with my brows, and its dirt cheap, but it would still be nice to see a friendly smile once in a while.

Let me preface this with I’ve NEVER had threading done before!!!
And OMG I will never go back to waxing from now on.
I remember the countless number of people who have amazing brows and wondered where they had gotten theirs done. And each one of them have told me they know this woman that does threading, yadda yadda yadda… but usually these people that I talk to are also not around my area, i.e. My cousin in Miami or a family friend in NY.
So… I walk in to this tiny store that I found on Unilocal after doing a search on threading and Waltham and low and behold there is in fact one right in my ‘hood! I walk in and am greeted by 4 extremely lovely Indian women who are chatting in the late afternoon. I was actually nervous about getting threading done, but they all assured me that it will be fine.
$ 8 — and cash for any beauty services. Sweet I have the cash on me. I walk towards the back of the store and sit in one of the stools.
Summa (sp?) did my threading and she was awesome about it! She advised me that it didn’t hurt and it didn’t! It actually hurt less than waxing. She also did perfection on my brows. I have difficult brows to shape and have never had much luck with esthetians with really shaping shaping (yes I used the word twice on purpose) my brows properly and I have never been able to do it myself. Mostly because if I stare at myself long enough in the mirror, it’ll just end up being all lope-​sided anyway.
But I digress. Summa, had me pull here and lightly hold there, and voila, she does her magic. The other eye gets easier because now I know the process. *Whew!*
Thank you Thank you Thank you for restoring some shape to my face. My cousin had advised me not to do anything with my brows for 6 months, okay so I didn’t last the whole 6 months, but alas I have normal brows again. And I’ll keep coming back!
