Beautiful U

Since my last review, they have moved into a nice and chic storefront, right next to Uno Pizzeria, and just a few short steps away from the kiosk that they used to have on the second floor. If you take the escalator up from the adjacent Le Pain Quitodien restaurant/​café, it’s a few steps off the escalator on the second floor.
Customer service is still steady and well; and the stylist mentioned in my prior review has improved significantly. My only complaint at this point is that I haven’t seen more than one, sometimes two, stylists present at a time during my last few visits, which causes a longer wait time. I don’t know if this is only the case when I go, but they could do well by ensuring that at least two stylists are there at all times. The new storefront has three threading chairs, so that shows some promise for future expedited waiting times.

I’ve gotten my eyebrows threaded twice here, and contrary to these generally stellar reviews, both times I was rather disappointed.
The first time, my eyebrows were a lot thinner than I wanted them to be and they had practically no shape — no arch to speak of. But that couldn’t be fixed without another whack at my brows, so I let them rest. The vendor was really nice about fixing the leftover hair between and underneath my eyebrows that she initially missed, but that was probably because I tipped generously. I figured, hey, even if it hurt like hell and it looks subpar, I requested a service.
The second time, I received very similar results. My brows were a little too thin, and she had threaded the inner corners of my eyebrows at different angles. The brow I preferred could not be replicated on the other, since the one I wanted required the lost eyebrow hair. There was a healthy amount of hair that wasn’t threaded under the tail of my eyebrow, though, which I ended up plucking at home.
It’s by no means a perfect service, but for $ 12, she really cleans up your brows quickly. For speed and affordability, she’s a wonderful second opinion to get your eyebrows closer to where you would like. Just note that you might have to modify some of the initial threading.

After walking by this kiosk for a year or so, I finally ave them a try. I had my eyebrows done by Terika. (I may mess up her name, but similar to Erica). She is amazing. She always shapes my eyebrows the way I like them, without even asking. She is very gentle and they always last about 3 weeks. I highly recommend, although I haven’t had any of the other ladies do my eyebrows.

Ive been here several times for eyebrow threading. I went to Uma (sp) and she does a nice job. They use a quality thread and are pretty fast. Eyebrows are $ 12 which is very reasonable for DC. I would recommend.

I was looking for a place to do my eyebrows in Baltimore before setting out to DC on the weekend. But all the places were like five miles away which meant a good hour or two on public transport. I didn’t want to deal with that, so I decided to rock the Frida Kahlo look and set out for DC on the MARC train. I was pleasantly surprised, then, to see that on the second floor of Union Station, there was a threading booth! By the way, I remember this place with another name, so just to be clear, I’m writing this for the kiosk near the Christmas in America store.
The lady had a really strong thread that didn’t even break once, and also my nose didn’t run as it usually does. I usually just get my eyebrows shaped (meaning stray hair removed but the overall shape is kept natural). This lady gave me the Latina/​Indian eyebrow look which is when the eyebrow is thinned to almost one uniform width throughout. Well, I was a little taken aback by my new look, and plus two guys later asked if I did my eyebrows (which shows that it was a dramatic change). If you are a person with sparse eyebrow hair, or someone who likes a full shape, you would be really upset. The girl didn’t even ask me what shape I wanted. I am kind of conflicted because it was not how I wanted my eyebrows – but the shape is not bad, per se. Just not what I wanted. Maybe I will get used to them; they are more defined and chola-​like than my regular. The price is $ 12, and if you pay on iPad (credit card), the girl will ask if you want to pay 20% tip, so then it’s like $ 14.40.
(Top pic is before. The eyebrow is widest at the inner point, then slightly tapers towards the arch. The bottom pic is after, when the inner brow has been thinned and trimmed completely so the eyebrow is one thin curve.)
Unilocal emailed me that the pics of my eyebrows have been reported and removed. Clearly they didn’t delete my review, so that means they believe I went here. so why did they delete my pic? I guess that shows you that i really did have sharpie eyebrows.

This place is definitely no frills (it is a kiosk on the second floor of union station after all) but it is still my go to for threading in DC. It is convenient to get to, and they generally do a really good job. There do always seem to be two people at the booth but only one doing any work. But whatever I’m not paying their wages! No complaints here.

I have found my go to spot for eye brows. The woman who I have gone to both times, I believe Uma or Huma, is really good. They charge $ 40 for full face and they do take credit card. They are in the second floor, up the elevators and past joseph a Bank. They are in front of a Italian men’s clothing shop. They have two chairs in front of their Cart. I am particular about my eyebrows and I am specific about what I want done. She always does it correctly ! Both times I have gone, there was not a line which is nice.
This place does threading which is a matter of preference for some women. I think it is a worth a visit for sure.

So nice, so fast, so cheap! Well done, Beautiful U. These ladies are really great at what they do! I have always left with compliments to follow from friends. I hope their little kiosk stays there for awhile!

I have gotten my eyebrows threaded here twice and both times I have not been dissapointed. It will definitely be my go to spot. It’s $ 10 + tip and they do deserve the tip. They are fast but pay attention to details. It’s a little more painful but so worth it. I recommend it anyone to try it out. It is very inexpensive for eyebrow threading, everywhere else in DC wll probably be $ 20.

I wanted to try eye brow threading for the first time and one of my co-​workers recommended this place. I was a little hesitant since it is a kiosk in the middle of a busy train station/​shopping area but after reading some Unilocal reviews I decided to give it a try. I have to say, it was a little more painful than I thought it would be but I am SOO happy with the end result and the ladies that work there are very nice! It’s a great value too, only $ 10+tip!

Love this place, seriously. All of the women here do damn good eyebrows! But I personally prefer Mumptah (sp?) she works on Fridays and Saturdays and I make sure I only go when she is there. Plus, $ 10 for threading in DC is cheaaaap — can’t beat that.

I was nervous (as I always get with new eyebrow places) and decided to check it out since it’s so close to where I work. To my delight this place ended up being awesome! The nepali lady, like another reviewer mentioned, threaded my eyebrows and I was very happy. She didn’t make my eyebrows too thin which I REALLY appreciated and they look great! $ 10 for eyebrows is also hard to find in DC, definitely making this my go-​to :)

I came to this kiosk on a whim and loved it! Shes quick, good, and on top of it, its only $ 10! Cant beat that. Everywhere else its $ 15 and up! Oh and they take tip on credit cards which no one else wants to do

The Nepali lady is definitely the go to eyebrow threader at this spot. She is quick and gives a great shape. If you are facing the kiosk, she is usually the chair on the right. She’s doesn’t get upset if you tell her you would like a little more shape or take off from here or there.
Great and convenient for those of us on the way home and need a quick taming of the brow.

For the record, this business is called UNIQUE EYEBROWS and is located across from Andrew’s Ties on the Mezzanine Level.
I had never had my eyebrows threaded before, so I was taking a huge chance by coming to Unique Eyebrows. The business is a mall station that looks like a cart with two chairs being worked by two ladies. When I had stopped by to check things out, the ladies were already busy working on two people. Then, as time passed, a line started forming!!! I was beginning to think I better get in line or else I won’t get the chance to try this threading thing out.
I’m not sure which lady I had, but she was really nice and friendly. I told her that I had never done threading before, so she instructed me on how and where to put my hands to help stretch out my skin so that she could thread my eyebrows. The final result was wonderful! I am very happy about how things turned out.
I wish they had a more private way of doing the threading becausemit is just two chairs, open for everyone’s viewing. The positive side to this is that the cart keeps costs low. It cost $ 10 (not including tip). They take both credit card and cash here. I probably spent about 5 minutes in the chair. I loved the fast and affordable service I received here. I’m definitely coming back!

This place is awful!!! Came here to the kiosk because of the good reviews from Unilocal and I’m extremely disappointed. Came in with thick eyebrows in hopes for a good shape & left with thin crooked lines. In the beginning, I explained to the lady NOT to take out the arch. Its that simple & listen to your customers.
Not only did she not listen or follow my request she turn my beautiful thick eyebrows into two choppy non-​symmetrical unflattering lines on my forehead. When I looked it the mirror that she handed me I thought maybe I could work with it but then I saw my reflection in a larger mirror & its extremely apparent that my brows were butchered. I’ll have to resort to pencilling them in which I hate to do.
So ladies beware!!! Gone are the days that you go to threader and expect a decent shape & good service.

I love coming to this kiosk. It’s close to work and it’s right near Ann Taylor and Express, so I kill 2 birds with one stone — or is that three?
Anyway, the woman there is very friendly and takes great care in shaping your brows. The price is right too. If you’re in the area and need to shape your brows, try this station out.

Go here now. You will NOT be sorry.
The kiosk is easy to miss, so look for it on the top floor, towards the center of the shops. The price is perfect ($ 10 + tip), and they do a wonderful job. It only takes a few minutes, so you can easily have your brows perfected while you’re waiting to catch a train. This place can’t be beat!

I needed to handle my ish bad! My ish. meaning my eyebrows. I went to Union Station because I wanted to try them out. I am new to the area and I have only been to Threads on U Street so far. I thought Threads was pricey. Union Station on the other hand wasn’t. I paid $ 17 for eyebrow and lip which is what I used to pay for in Vegas. I will be back.
This is a small kiosk. Coming from Barnes and Nobles, ride the escalator up and you will see the kiosk on your right. I believe its near JOS A Bank.

Had my eyebrows done here on my way home. Very conveniently located in Union Station and the price is reasonable ($ 10 plus $ 2). I have not had my eyebrows done in MONTHS. I am spoiled from my days of living in NYC as there are tons of eyebrow threading places all over town and I usually never paid more than $ 7 or $ 8 to get them done perfectly. I have sort of bounced around between getting them waxed and getting them threaded over the years. For the last year though, I have pretty much just stuck to getting them threaded.
There was no wait and the lady that I went to is only there on Wednesdays. She was very gentle and quick and she didn’t take too much off. Since I don’t have out of control eyebrows naturally and only really wanted to go for a nice shaping of them, she was very aware of this and kept it simple and gave my eyebrows and nice shape. She asked if I wanted lotion before applying it and I said that was fine and I experienced absolutely no irritation.
I’ll definitely be back!
