Superb job on my brows. A lot of techs take off too much but she did a PERFECT job and was super quick and super nice. I'll definitely be back...

I originally got lost trying to find this location, but just walk into the Boston Jewelry Exchange Building and take the elevator to the second floor! You can look up from the street to see it to know you've found the right place.
I love this chain of threading places. They do a great quick job making sure my eyebrows are clean and kept. This location is just as clean and the service just as efficient. The workers rotate through the locations, so I recognized the two women working from my usual location. This location is a little more expensive than the Brighton location ($15), but if I needed my brows done downtown I would definitely go here.
Make sure to bring cash and get a loyalty stamp card!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jhanvi P.Boston, MA02Dec 9, 2022

I've been here 3-4 times, and my most recent time, I got a cut...which has never happened when I did eyebrow threading at my normal place at the mall......So I don't know how I feel about that. It's a very convenient location which is why I have been frequenting this place the last few months. The eyebrows look fine but the price is higher. If you use the yelp check-in, it knocks it from $15 to $13 and then you tip like $2 so it's back to $15. The girls are very nice but I don't like getting cuts. I'll only come here if I really don't have time to trek out to my normal place.
Am I the only one they didn't offer a reward card that i'm reading about? :(Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Monique S.Boston, MA083Apr 2, 2021
This is the ONLY place I will go to get my eyebrows done (even before the pandemic). The place is clean and very COVID compliant. The women that work there are always friendly. They double check with me with what I'm looking to get done and if things are looking good. I've had some bad experiences at other places when it comes to my eyebrows. But this place is my favorite and the only place I trust to keep my eyebrows looking like sister and not 4th cousins twice removed.

Be prepared to wait in a small cramped room usually with only 1 or 2 people working.
Boston threading has other locations but this is by far the best location. I use to only go to a couple people here ok certain days but actually realized everyone at the Washington location does a great job every time. The ladies here listen to you. When I said I do not want thin brows, I mean it and they do just a clean up which is exactly What I want.
FYI- you could pay with card. Check in on yelp and they take $2 off. They also have a stamp card you can ask them about- every time you come present your stamp card at check out and on your 10th one it's free.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Esther K.Manhattan, NY541329Jun 22, 2017Purchased a Yelp Deal
Sigh... oh boy... so much has changed *sad face*
I remember back when I first stumbled upon a threading place in Brighton. It was the summer of 2014. I had only been getting threading on my upper lips. A super sweet, amicable, and soft-spoken lady suggested I get my eye brows threaded. Let me tell you something, I've NEVER ever done anything to my eyebrows--no waxing, shaving, or make up on my brows. I've been told multiple times that I've been gifted with just the right amount of brow hair (say what), so I suppose I'm even more cautious. Anyhow, the woman was gentle and convincing enough for me to take a leap of faith. That's how I fell in love with Ranju.
Seriously. She's the only person that makes threading absolutely painless. I have very sensitive Asian skin, and most people tend to make my skin extremely red and itchy after threading, but not ranju!
Back to the real deal... so... I hadn't seen Ranju in over two years as I have moved to NYC. During my visit to Boston, I was shocked (and confused) that there were multiple Boston threading locations. When I called I found out that Ranju wasn't working in any of the locations on Monday. Anyhow, that being my last night in Boston, I figured I shouldn't be so picky--after all, they're all coworkers of Ranju's (I'm not sure if Ranju is the owner?) Either way, big mistake. Like an earlier reviewer mentioned, I had nicks on my eyebrow. I thought I was being overly sensitive during the procedure, but it stung nonstop, and it still hurts two days later. And guess what, started bleeding!
Besides the fact that the brows were done much thinner than I had wanted to, I am not happy that she left a mark on my face. I'm not so sure if I'll be returning even when I'm in Boston as I'm not even sure how often Ranju works anymore...Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Anika J.Santa Clara, CA368329Sep 2, 2021
Convenient, reasonably priced for location, and great job! I recently moved to Boston and was looking for my new threading place, and I've found it. Eyebrows ($15) looked good and they were friendly & checked to make sure I liked the shaping. The wait can be long on times like a Friday evening when I went, and the space is small but inviting.
