Nila’s Eyebrow Center

If you are skeptical because they are $ 1 to $ 2 cheaper than other places, don’t be. Mind you, I am extremely picky when it comes to my brows. They do a great job and it never feels rushed. My go-​to is Jessica! If you’re feeling unsure, just spend time explaining what you want. Most technicians will listen and proceed with caution when they have your input in mind.

So I came to this place by chance, my regular brow spot (gulzar) closes at 7 and this spot closes at 8. I couldn’t make it to my regular spot so I decided to give this one a try since the last lady I entrusted with my brows at Gulzar’s over threaded one brow.
I gave it a try and loved the results. I didn’t get the name of the girl who did my eyebrows but hopefully next time I go I will recognize her and update this. She listened to direction well, I always ask them to please not over thread and just give me a clean up with some shape but leave it as thick as possible. She did just as I asked, it would have been 5 stars but they don’t do the eyebrow massage like they do at gulzar’s. That little extra massage at the end gives me life (lol), just wish they did that here too because then it would have been the ultimate package. But other than that I am definitely making this my go to spot and I am kicking Gulzar’s to the curb. Besides this spot is not as crowded and a more serene environment. Same price, 5 $.

They do a great job, but they need to learn the word «no».
Whenever I go the girl tries to get me to do a facial. I tell her that I just want my eyebrows done. Then at the end of the threading she puts the mirror in my hand to show me my eyebrows, and to point out my clogged pores that she says would benefit from one of their facials.
Its kinda rude, but she does an amazing job on my eyebrows. So I will keep coming back.

This review is for their threading services only.
If you got it, flaunt it… Or get it threaded. Nilas is by far the best place I’ve tried for threading.
I really like this place for a few reasons:
1. They’re dirt cheap, $ 5 for eyebrows and same for upper lip.
2. They’re gentle, I’ve had many thread jobs and the ones at Nilas are always somehow less painful.
3. They do a great job with eyebrow shape and they never take off too much.
In addition to threading, they offer facials. I’ve never tried these.

Went to Gulzar’s as that’s the only one that would come up on my search but I couldn’t get past the dinginess of the place. Happened to walk by this place on my way to the cleaners and immediately looked up reviews. It is clean, provides great service, and eyebrows are done for only $ 5! My new go-​to place.

Love this place! $ 5 for brows or $ 20 for whole face. $ 20 for a basic but decent facial, too. The staff are so friendly and gracious, and they consistently do the best job. Bonus points for being close to home. No more Manhattan prices or inconsistent results for me! :)

Come to this place to step up your eyebrow game level, for 5 bucks.

This place is easy to miss because it is a small and quiet place. Despite this, the threaders are great. I prefer this place over the one by the 74^th/​Roosevelt station and the other one that is on the lower level of the «mall» on 37^th ave (btw. 74^th and 75^th st).
Nila’s has a tranquil ambiance with tons of photos of Aishwarya Rai as beauty inspiration. The threaders also follow direction and remember your eyebrows from the first time. I prefer the younger lady that normally wears her hair in one long braid down her back. Even though she is young, she is one of the threaders that’s been there for the longest time. She knows exactly what I want and shapes my eyebrows super quick while being thorough. I am a wimp when it comes to pain. She is very gentle and always starts with the lower part of my left eyebrow because she knows I am most sensitive there and she wants to get that part out of the way so I am not anxious (I never told her about this sensitive spot, but it is something that she has picked up on). All of the threaders are very nice and polite, but very quiet. Do not expect a cozy conversation here. It is mostly all business aside from the initial greeting.
Lastly, the price is great. $ 5 for eyebrows (both for men and women). For the guys, they do not make you look girly (unless you want that) and they are not judgmental (nor are the clientele). Many men, both straight and otherwise, visit this little shop for some eyebrow shaping.
As for hours, I believe they are open from 10am until around 7pm or 8pm (7 days a week)

i give this place 0 stars if i could!!! I went to go CLEAN my eyebrows and I’ve been growing out my eyebrows for four months and I specifically told her that. She agreed to only SLIGHTLY clean it, but when she was finished. My eyebrows were TOO thin, she cut off the tail from my left eyebrow and one eye brow is higher than the other. I look so lobsided. I understand hair grows back, but this was horrible horrible service

This is my current «go-​to» place for eyebrow threading & a cheap facial. I prefer the lady on the left.

Having gone to Gulzar’s for the past year because of their rave Unilocal reviews, I was initially hesitant to try Nila’s. However, my experience at Nila’s was just as good as at Gulzar’s, and prices are the same ($ 5 for eyebrows, $ 5 for upper lip wax). Walked in and got seated right away. The woman who did my eyebrows was very thorough, getting every last stray hair. Though this made it take a little longer, I didn’t mind because the result turned out well. Like at Gulzar’s, the lip wax was nothing special, what you would expect for $ 5. Would definitely go back.
