Neel Threadz Spa

Love this place. Never too long of a wait for walk ins. Reasonable prices for brows and eye lash extensions!

Even though I got punched in the ear, Sadhana does a pretty good job!
Considering the circumstances surrounding my, let’s call it aesthetic improvement, I am giving Sadhana the benefit of the doubt, and let me tell you why…
So I came to Northbrook to shop and saw this eyebrow threading place, and as I was in need of a cleaning up in the browage area, I stopped in and there was no wait. If you’ve never had your eyebrows threaded versus being waxed, it involves some customer participation; you have to make the skin around your eyebrows taut using the hand on the same side of the ‘brow being worked on pulling down on your lower eyelid, while the other hand pulls up above said eyebrow. This keeps the skin tight and keeps your clumsy flailing arms out of the way of your eyebrow threading professional. And now you know what to do when you sit down on the chair. Anyways…
I sit down and assume the position and midway through my left eyebrow getting finished, the thread breaks and Sadhana punches me in the ear. I kid you not. First time I was ever punched in the ear at Northbrook Court. This was very funny to me. So funny that I had a hell of a time trying to hold my face steady because I was giggling to myself while getting worked on. Eventually I calm down with some «woo-​sah» and deep breathing and we get all finished and she hands me the mirror so I can critique and make sure everythings up to par. I noticed a few hairs that could be banished, so I re-​assume the position and she happily obliges me. So we’re done for real and she asks if I want lotion for the brows, and I do. As she’s applying the lotion on my brows, the cuff of her shirt sleeve continually brushes my lips from side to side and after getting punched in the ear, this is like the icing on the cake for me. I start to laugh so I purse my lips and bear with it. This is almost too much for me to handle, but in the end I was very happy with the outcome. Sometimes you’ll have someone who is just rushing through the work to get you out of the chair, but she took her time, never rushed, and made sure I was happy before I left! That’s really all I can ask for. So even though I got punched in the ear (she did apologize about it) and got someone else’s shirtsleeve wiped on my lip, a solid 4 stars is bestowed upon Neel Threadz Spa.

I have never had threading done before, so thought I would give this place a try. It was quite busy (no sign in sheet) so I waited about 15 minutes. I wanted my eyebrows, lip and chin done. I thought it hurt a lot as she kept catching my skin. My face was red and sore, I noticed she did not show me myself in a mirror, when I checked later, my eyebrows, and chin were bleeding and I looked like I had been attacked by a cat. My face came out in scabs around my eyebrows, mouth and on under my chin. It is still sore 4 days later. NEVER AGAIN.

First time getting my eyebrows threaded so i guess i don’t have anything to compare it too. My girlfriend got a 2 for one thing as a grouping deal so i agreed to try it (say what you will). It was pretty quick and not too painful except when she kept getting my skin instead lol. If i ever decide to do it again and go elsewhere, i will come back with a better comparison review.
My girlfriend says it was okay. She said the lady didn’t leave her much of an arch even after she asked her too.
From what i can tell its averagely priced, $ 10 for eyebrows which seems to be the general consensus in the area.
Based off my know nothing experience, i was going to leave it 4 stars. The rating i left is with consideration to what my girlfriend thinks of the place. Hope this helped ladies.
The location itself is pretty nice seeing as if you are shopping at the mall you can just pop in for a couple minutes and do your thing or even go before dinner or something.

Just left after having my entire face done… for me, this is so much better than waxing. I am light skinned with red hair-​the hair on my face is blonde. I always thought I could get away with doing nothing mostly out of laziness, but the last time my mom visited she about flipped out when she saw a chin hair on me. 45 yo sucks. So, in I went. I have freshly smooth skin now and could not be happier. My face is a tiny bit pink, but nothing like the redness and subsequent bumps I usually get from waxing. Coming back for sure. Just have to put it in my calendar to make sure I keep coming!!!

My review is about my experience of not having experienced Neel Threadz Spa. I had a Groupon which expired before the new year. I didn’t ask for a refund since the fine print says I can still use it for the amount paid. I wanted to try this place anyway, and it’s closer than the usual trek down to Dempster street to visit Maria’s Threading or Bollywood Salon.
They asked for $ 5 extra on top of the Groupon paid price to do the threading. That would bring the total cost for a threading to $ 15. That’s absurd. Even after telling them that I intended to add a lip thread for $ 5, she still wouldn’t budge on the added $ 5 fee.
In fact, she recommended I get a refund from Groupon instead. When I pushed the issue, she stated that she only works here and this is their policy for expired Groupons. I just think that’s absurd. They lost a customer for $ 5. This is much more convenient to me than other places I go for threading, but why would I come back?
They had a chance to show me their skills and they refused. If this is actually policy, it’s ridiculous. I should also mention, there was no one else there on my visit. Employees were all in the back, and no customers. It’s not as if they couldn’t accommodate me, lol.
They’re also pricier than Bollywood Salon or Maria’s Threading.

I pray that this place stays for good at Northbrook Court because there aren’t any decent places in the area for eyebrow threading. Sure, there are tons of places for eyebrow waxing but the method of threading offers some distinct advantages such as precision and I also happen to think it stays in shape longer. This place is located on the lower floor at Northbrook Court next to Lord and Taylor and the only service they do is what they are best at — threading!
I’ve gone to many places that offer this service and when the technician lacks the skill — it is a painful experience! For those of you that appreciate threading, this place has a pleasant staff who were clearly trained and trained well. I first found this place when they offered a Groupon and they have a lifer in me!
