Threads

I hated this place — I paid too much for my threading and was rushed out after — when I checked at home and noticed that they missed a large portion of my upper lip I called them and the lady rudely told me to come next time and she will see what she can do. Horrifying service and shoddy work. Not going there again!
Thank you maryam at sonia Jewelers for helping me!

Was excited to try this place out due to the positive reviews, and especially since I had been letting my eyebrows grow out for a while. Not impressed. When I arrived there was a woman waiting on her turn for an upper lip and touch up on her eyebrows. It was super quick, 5 minutes tops. The waiting area is next to the reclining chair where all the work is done. Simple setting but it doesn’t feel crowded. I explained to the lady that I like thick eyebrows and wanted simply an arch. I even went as far as to explain that I haven’t gone to get them done in a bit over a year because they threaded too much. She heard me but didn’t seem to care. She was really fast and I felt like she was doing what she thought best to my eyebrows rather than what I wanted. Which is what I’ve always ran into in the past. The rosewater was a nice touch at the end. I wasn’t happy with the outcome, my eyebrows were in my opinion too skinny and the price of $ 15 for 5 minutes of their time in which it seems like she rushed is not worth it to me.

I love this place and have been going for years, since it has been opened. The ladies do a fantastic job. Now, I only have to get threaded once a month where as with waxing I was going every other week!

I stopped here because I needed my eyebrows taken care of ASAP and I was in the neighborhood. Unilocal directed me here and was happy to see some of my Unilocal friends have been a fan of this place. Anyway, I found 20 minute parking right in front of the shop which made me happy since Worldgate parking can be a pain. I entered the establishment and had a seat because the lady who would soon be threading my eyebrows was with another lady. It wasn’t long before I sat in the chair and she worked feverish to thread my eyebrows and made them look good. Like another reviewer had mentioned she noticed what the lady may have eaten beforehand. I noticed the same thing but again I liked the overall results of my eyebrows which trumps food smells. When I paid with my credit card I learned I could put a tip on my card which is unheard of at a lot of places in the northern Virginia area for personal care. I learned they have a reward program where after ten threading you earn one for free. Score in my book!!!

No more eyebrow waxing for me — since moving to the DMV area, I’ve discovered threading, and apparently THREADS is my go-​to spot now. It’s a super simple, no-​frills, quiet shop with typically only 1 employee on the job. No appointments, now open Sundays, accepts CC (but not AMEX), you can put gratuity on the CC, and there’s a quick efficiency that goes along with what they do.
Don’t expect pampering and superfluous conversation as your stray hairs are whisked away somewhat painlessly, just quick work and no-​nonsense.
I’d recommend stopping in only Weds., Fri., or Saturday. I don’t know the lady’s name who is threading on these days, but she’s far better, in my opinion, than the other employees.
Expect to pay $ 15 for eyebrow threading.

I found it to be expensive and I’m finding she missed spots on my upper lip, it’s not anything that looks horrific but she seemed to get one side but missed it on the other, same with my eyebrows, I felt that she got done with one side faster now I know why since I’ve had to clean up with tweezers at home. Plus her manner was very rough,

Every time I come into this spot, I have been serviced by the same girl. I really wish I knew her name, but I am going to assume she is the manager because she is always there. I actually don’t have proof that anyone else works here. That said, she needs to brush her teeth when working so closely with customers. Each time I have gone, has been after lunch and I can tell you what she had for lunch. The last time I went, she had a subway sandwich with onions and a bag of Doritos chips. I know this from smell, not sight.
This place cannot be a regular for me because the thread she use is very rough. I have had my eyebrows threaded by much softer thread. And the thread makes a difference. Because the thread is so rough, I will not allow her to do my entire face.
In addition, their prices are much higher than what I am used to paying.
However, I enjoy the convenience of never having to wait; they place is always empty when I go.

This place USED to be OK before they jacked up the prices. It was close to home and better than other places in the Herndon area. When they increased the price to $ 15 I thought that was a little ridiculous for just OK service, so I started looking around more and started going to Sonia’s Jewelry in Herndon which is about half the price and do a better job. Now that I moved to Sterling I found a place that’s even better and also close to home! I would say unless avoid it if you can.

The lady who works here is extremely rude. She has a problem with the words I use to ask her how I need my eyebrows done. I tell her «please just remove the extras».
Those words seem to offend her for some reason. She almost yelled at me twice saying I should just trust her.
When I asked her to remove one more layer… she got irritated and said .in that case I should say shape them and not remove extras. After she removed the layer she just walked off and started billing me without even asking if I am okay with it.
Overall a very unpleasant experience

I’ve tried this place a few times, but stopped going. They do an ok job as far as threading goes, but the hours aren’t great and frankly in comparison to other places this place is expensive for just an ok job in a place that’s a bit lack luster in atmosphere.
When I’m spending close to $ 20 just to get my eyebrows threaded there’s something seriously wrong with this. Thankfully I’ve found another place that does a really great job and is a bit more reasonable as far as price.

I’ve been to this location twice. The first time I left with the most beautiful eyebrows. Before servicing me, the woman who helped me talked to me about the look I wanted. There was no pain. I should have gotten her name. The second time I was there, the woman who helped me was nice enough, but my eyebrows looked horrible and it was super painful. On this second visit, I left with two different looking eyebrows. One was jagged and shaped almost like an s; the other was thin with no arch. I’m not sure I have the guts to go back, but my first service was awesome.

Highly suggest checking this place out to get your eyebrow shaped. They have a good eye for the most appropriate eyebrow size and shape if you let them direct things a bit. They have a bonus card for regulars and it’s precise and pain free. All the girls i have been to were good.

Like they all say, fast, clean, quick, and I have caterpillars no longer! This is my go to spot when I’m close to home.

Fast, amazing service! My eyebrows are cleaned and shaped, and my lip is smooth and hair free now. I feel and look better when they are both cleaned up!
The new Herndon location is easy to find at Worldgate & I was in and out so fast!
My new hair removal spot! SOO much better than a wax service!
Also coming to Leesburg by Blockbuster soon!

I’ve been a loyal customer for years. Preeti is the best!!! It doesn’t matter which location she is because I will find her!!! Threads has 5 locations located throughout DC (3 in DC), MD (Bethesda), and VA (Herndon).
