Threading

“ Sarita is the best, never want to go anywhere else!

“ I love Shobha! They are professional, efficient, and booking and rescheduling is easy. Arisa does an amazing job with my brows, and I had a great laser experience here as well.

“ fantastic service overall. i was very hesitant to get my brows done by someone new and arisa put all my fears at ease and made my brows look so good! one of the most painless threading sessions i've ever had, she is super detailed and will make sure you leave look amazing

“ Love Shobha! I have been going here for 15 years. Never had a bad experience and Sarita is THE BEST!

“ Sarita is wonderful, highly professional, excellent at her job, and it is always a pleasure to see her.

“ Sarita is so great! Highly recommend this place

“ Sarita is fantastic with brows.

“ I have been going to Sarita for a while now and she is absolutely the best! She is very sweet and pleasant and makes the process quick so it’s less painful! I would highly recommend her!

“ This is Tejal - I’ve been seeing Sarita since the start! She’s absolutely the best - kind, talented, patient and so good!!!

“ Been going to Shobha for almost 3 years now. They are always on time, clean, and professional. Arisa is the absolute best!

“ I’ve been going to Shobha for over 10 years and everyone who works at the SoHo location is great but Arisa is the best! So detail-oriented and kind, she takes exceptionally good care!

“ Amazing eyebrow thread done by Sunita!! Highly recommend. Very friendly front desk as well. Not pushy to sell products

“ I’ve been seeing Shashi for brow threading and Frances for waxing for almost 10 Years!! They are hands down THE BEST. I literally won’t let anyone else near my eyebrows and always get complements o the shape due to Shashi’s mastery. Shobha is clean, appointments are usually on time and quick and checkout is easy. I highly recommend Shobha.

“ Frances is the best! 5 Stars! We have been enjoying her services for years now.

“ Sarita is the absolute best! Everyone is always so friendly and helpful

“ Sarita is the best! She is professional and makes you feel comfortable. I've been going to her for years and won't go anywhere else.

“ Frances is hands down the best at her craft. I have been getting my eyebrows done since I was 13 from wax to threading she is the best at what she does! I have moved out of soho and still continue to come to her! She’s also a favorite amongst my friends that when they come into the city the ask me if we can go see her. 10/10 recommend she’s amazing !!!!

“ Frances does the most amazing job, I don’t trust anyone else with my brows!

“ I’ve been going to Shobha for brow threading for ~12 years. I changed to Shobha in Soho because of the convenience of going downtown and found Arisa who I love! Arisa is very experienced in the range of services Shobha offers. It’s always so welcoming at the SoHo location. Arisa is meticulous and very attentive and takes her time to give you what you want. In particular, she knows how to thread Asian brows well. I always love the way she does mine and why I trust her with my brows! Arisa’s service is excellent and genuine warmth as a person draws me back to her. Arisa is so good she was recently promoted to Senior Specialist, Level 2 for brow threading!

“ Always very thorough and fast! Frances is my favorite!!

“ Arisa is the BEST! I have been going to only her for months now, highly recommend

“ I have been seeing Sarita at Shobha Soho for over ten years! She is so lovely and skillful—a true master of her craft. I always leave feeling better about myself. There is truly no one else I would trust to do my eyebrows!

“ I have been going to Shobha since 2012 -- as an Indian woman I am fully aware there are less expensive $7 to $10 brows but my experience with many in NYC have been technicians distracted, hurried, unprofessional as heck and not using proper hygiene techniques. I have went to most Shobha locations for eyebrow threading, full body waxing and even laser treatments once they started offering the services. Initially, I use to see one of the OGs Kamala but once she left, Arisa became my main! Arisa is kind, sweet and a true professional. She listens to what you want to achieve and tries her best to mitigate the pain and discomfort that comes with these services. For example, I tend to break out on my brows but because Arisa's threading and waxing technique is gentle and efficient, followed up with cooling rosewater wipes and application of hydrocortisone cream (if requested), my breakouts have been minimal. With Arisa, I have done lasering on multiple body parts, body waxing, full face waxing and threading. I have been loyal to Arisa for many years. Sadly, I am not in NYC anymore but when I do return and have the time, I make sure to swing by to get my brows blessed by her and any other hair removal I need. If Arisa left Shobha and I was still in NYC, bet I would follow her! Love you Arisa! The Soho location is the flagship. Very convenient location between Brooklyn and the rest of the city. Its a large and beautiful space. Staff is always friendly and try their best to get you in. I am very happy that they have an app that you can quickly book and reschedule appointments. Take advantage of their end of the year gift cards when you can purchase a $100 dollar gift card valued at $120. If you refer a friend, you also get 20 off your services. I have taken advantage of that multiple times :).

“ I have been going to Shobha Soho to see Arisa for a few years now. She and everyone who works there are so sweet and do a wonderful job. Highly recommend Shobha Soho!

“ Francis is outstanding. Best in the industry. Painless, quick, and nice.

“ I’ve had a wonderful experience every time I’ve come here. Frances is my girlll!!! She revived my eyebrows after they had been messed up elsewhere and she makes great conversation. She also does my Brazilians and she’s honestly the best!!!

“ Best eyebrow threading in the game. Frances is especially attentive and does an amazing job every time. World class customer service.

“ Frances is a gem! Highly recommend her!!

“ I’ve been getting my brows done at Shobha for 6 years. Only place I’ll go. Frances is the absolute best. Highly recommend her!

“ Great location! Great Service!

“ Love this place! They are gentle, careful, and speedy. My new regular place - Sarita was wonderful and meticulous. I will be back!!

“ Shobha Soho has been my go-to spot for threading, waxing, and laser services for nearly 15 years. I have seen many specialists over the years, but special shoutouts to Frances for flawless execution every time. Run, don't walk, to Shobha. They are the best of the best.

“ I’ve been a client of Shobha’s for over a decade. They were the first salon that I knew of to have a no double-dip policy. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous. While their price point may be a bit higher than other places you can rest assured that you will be serviced by a competent professional in a clean space and greeted in a friendly manner.

“ Best laser and threading. Everyone is so sweet & consistent!

“ Shobha was very gentle and efficient! Would go again.

“ Great place to get your eyebrows done. I have been going here for years!

“ I love it here! Shobha has been so good with all the covid/sickness prevention. Arisa is amazing! Been going for a few years now. She knows to match the shape of your face with your brows, and taught me how to train my curly eyebrow hairs! Def recommend😊

“ Great clean, professional and relaxing place to get hair removed!

“ Great service.

“ I love it there

“ I absolutely love this salon. I saw Francis for 6+ years and only stopped because I left the city. She has done my waxing, and lip/eyebrow threading this whole time and I’ve never been disappointed. Besides her amazing threading skills, she is attentive, patient, and kind. Shobha’s scheduling and cleanliness has always been better than the others too. Overall, 5 star experience every time.

“ They are lovely! It was a little hard to find in the beginning but they're great. They maintain the Covid-19 safety protocols, make sure you wash your hands and sanitize too. I went for brow threading and tint and it was quick and easy. Definitely becoming a regular here!

“ Clean, punctual, always happy with my service.

“ Just went back for the first time since re-opening from lock down, very happy with the set up for Covid precautions. They have you wait to come into the shop until they're ready for you, take temp, make sure you answer all the covid-related questions, immediately have you go to a sanitizing station to wash your hands before being taken into the room. The service providers are wearing masks and a face shield. Contactless payments through the app. I have been going to Shobha for about 4 years now and have seen Frances the entire time. She is lovely, professional, fast. Consistently happy with the service. Can't recommend her highly enough.

“ Frances and Sashi are just incredible! Great service and wonderful care with their clients.

“ Update 2024: Arisa is the one and only person I trust to get waxed. I live in Queens and travel all the way to Soho just to see her. If anybody asks me for recommendations, I drop her name but also ackhowledge that Shobha's got a great team. Expanding more on why Arisa is so great: she adjusts her style based on my comfort. She pays attention if I am more sensitive to pain during that session compared to previous sessions. I feel comfortable enough to communicate if I am nervous and Arisa always checks in with me anyway. 2022 - Arisa is my go-to person for getting waxed Shobha. The way she waxes me I have minimal pain (there's some - can't be avoided). She's also a joy to be around and I feel at ease while she works!

“ best place for brows and laser services

“ They are always so polite and professional. I absolutely love coming here for my service and will not go anywhere else. My technician Sunita is absolutely amazing!

“ Shobha is very clean and the technicians all do a great job, I haven't had a single bad threading or sugaring.

“ Very comfy Cafe serving great tasting nutritional salads and healthy juices/smoothies/teas/coffee, inclusive of exceptional and welcoming service.

“ Have frequented this salon since 2003. I always have a pleasant experience. The staff is well trained with top notch professionalism.

“ When you first walk in you greeted with the scent of incense, very relaxing. Bista was patient and explained to me what she was going to do to my eye brows so I would have better shape. She was even able to make them look more like sisters than cousins. It is more expensive than the quick brow places around town but the skill and attention to detail is what makes the difference. I was happy with my experience, the staff was accommodating to me just walking in without an appointment and very nice. You fill out a form the first time you go which they keep on file. I hope my next visit will be just as nice. UPDATE: Bista is just as wonderful as always! It's still my favorite place to get my brows threaded.

“ I have had a million Brazilians in my life and Frances at Shobha is by far the best! I will never go to anyone else! This may be tmi but I have blonde hair that can be tricky to catch all of on a Brazilian but Frances has never missed a hair! I also have sensitive skin and I used to think that three days of irritation post-Brazilian were to be expected and how wrong I was! The whole procedure is so fast and Frances is such a pro it barely hurts at all. Frances makes waxing an almost pleasant experience. She is amazing; I cannot recomend her enough! And don't get me started on the magic she works with my brows! I never ever write reviews but I had to after my experience at Shobha! Do yourself a favor and go!

“ They are always exceptional at threading eyebrows regardless of who you end up seeing. I have never left here disappointed. Very clean, and efficient in their appointment booking system. I love the rose cleanser they put on you after doing your brows.

“ They charge $22 for threading your eyebrows but it is certainly worth it. Whenever I go to the $7 places they totally mess my eyebrows up. I went to Frances and she did an amazing job. The entire staff is so friendly. I really appreciate that they ask you if you want to go to anyone in particular instead of just sending you to the next available person. I would recommend this place to everyone

“ Fantastic waxing place! Quick, hygienic and reasonably priced. The service is great and the staff were super friendly! They used threading instead of tweezers to remove any stray hairs which was extremely efficient. Yelp has a first time discount as well!

“ I love this place! their senior tech is amazing.

“ Friendly staff. Went for the first time today to get my brows done, showed the threader some photos and she took her time and did a great job. Left them thick just as I wanted and gave them some shape (which they didn't have before). She even filled them out for me with a pencil when she was done to show me how they'd look with makeup. Plus, it smells so good in the studio. Like roses and patchouli and other wonderful incense.

“ Comfortable spa with friendly aestheticians and receptionists. I found my spot to get my eyebrows threaded. I Want to go back to try the facials and waxing services.
