3 reviews for Sukhy's Threading
coming from boston where the cheapest threaders are $14, the average in the $20 range, and the most expensive i've seen going for $35 (you heard right!) it's such a relief to live in providence where i've seen threading for as low as $6. now, sukhy's doesn't charge $6, they charge $10 but still a bargin for me!
i like that you can charge and put a tip on the credit card. i was surprised to see a manly man go in. i thought he was there with his girlfriend. but no! he greeted sukhy by name and submitted to the threading himself. what a guy! i had mine done by sima (or suma). she was very good. but the thread kept breaking. she left my eyebrows looking very natural but nice and clean. even though it felt like i wasn't going to be left with anything during the actual threading, i was pleasantly surprised!
i'll be back. it may be a bit out of my way (pawtucket) but it's worth it.
i've been coming here since i was 16 and sukhy has been my go to girl for eyebrows for the last 10 years. i have seen her salon go from a run down room with a few chairs to a revamped, huge, multi room threading emporium. she went from doing all the threading herself to overseeing a dozen threaders and hardly being in at all.
i am happy for her success, but now i have to wait for her, if she is in at all. and usually, she is training someone, so they will do the clean up while she does the shape. not a huge fan of that.
on the flip side, when she does my eyebrows, i get compliments from complete strangers on the street about my eyebrows and how good they look. she seems to know how to work your eyebrows with your face shape and has never taken off too much or too little.
the rest of the threaders there are kind of a crap shoot. i have a feeling that they are all sukhy's relatives or friends and some are better than others. if you do make the trip down, ask for sukhy.

Went to Sukhy's for an eyebrow threading back in October (only getting around to writing about it now) as I was persuaded by a classmate's rants and raves about Sukhy herself. The salon completely lacks atmosphere with its half-finished look and horrible lighting. Lots of people were in the salon yet I was seen very quickly despite being a walk-in. Sukhy seated me down and without any introductions or hellos asked me, "thick, medium, or thin?". These are, of course, relative terms so just in case she threaded me too thin or left me unshaped and bushy I hesitated and said "medium, please." She worked fast and before I knew it handed me the mirror to examine her work. My heart sank as I looked in the mirror. She had completely obliterated my eyebrows - not only were they pencil-thin, (this was "medium"?!) they had no shape whatsoever. Actually, they did have a shape: rainbows! Don't recommend Sukhy's! Price $10 + tip.
