Re: Shamma-

Thank you!!

Re: Shamma-

I go to Pinky too. She's great. The wait are getting longer though. Best to go during a non-lunch hour.

Shamma,

I wonder if I've ever seen you there? Did you go two Fridays ago?

Re: Shamma-

Irenie...no that was not me...was she cute just kidding...my pix is in my profile. I need to go tho' the last time I got it done was before the wedding so you know I look like bush baby right about now I think I am going tomorrow

Re: Shamma-

I went there to get mine done for my wedding also. They are really good.

Re: Shamma-

I want to try this....and I work not too far from there.

How much do they charge? how long is the wait after work hours? How many people do it there and should I ask for Pinky or is everyone just as good????

I am so full of ?'s

Re: Shamma-

OK, color me stupid here.....but what is eyebrow threading???? I pluck my own eyebrows but I think I need to ge them trimmed or something because they are so long!!! i could probably braid them! It's gross!! I try to keep them loking normal but I would like some professional to take charge! WHta time are they open until?

Re: Shamma-

Threading as an Indian custom. They take 2 pieces of string and pass the along your eyebrows pulling the hair from the root as they shape them. It is very inexpensive and it lasts very long. They have a salon in Hicksville that does it. My siater goes there. Hope that clarifies it a bit

Re: Shamma-

Oh!!!! Thanks Karina!!!! Hee-hee, I honestly had no idea! Where in Hicksville? I'm in Bethpage every weekend, I live in Manhattan so i could do either Manhattan or Hicksville.

Re: Shamma-

I would like to try it too - is there any pain involved?

Re: Shamma-

It is not too painful. Sometime it is a little more annoying because it is not like one swipe and it is off like waxing. Sometimes they have to thread over the area a couple of times. But really is not too bad. I only get my eyebrows done. Some people get upper lips done but I would think that would be way too painful!

Re: Shamma-

At shapes they only charge $5. I have never had anyone else do mine. The wait can be bad, but I have only had good luck, so no major wait for me

Re: Shamma-

thanks..$5 is a bargain! maybe I will try my luck today - a friday after work can't be good - but what the heck! Maybe the rain will keep people away.

Re: Shamma-

I am going there after work today

Re: Shamma-

I think it's $5 at Hicksville too. I know it is an Indian salon on 107 but I wil post later when I speak to my sister.

Re: Shamma-

what do you tip Pinky?

Re: Shamma-

shamma- I am gonna try to go today, work and weather permitting. I have always wanted to try threading because my mom gets it done all the time. I am going to leave work at 5:30 so I should be there aroung 6-ish...I will look for you! I have seen your prfile picture and all your wedding pics so I bet I can pick you out if you are there!

I am wearing a purple sweater and khakis and have my hair in a ponytail (left my hair curly b/c of the rain). I also have a picture posted in my profile!

Re: Shamma-

I am wearing a white top with stripe capris. I now have my hair in braids, it would be nice to meet you. I will leave work at 5:00pm I will there about 5:45, depending on the wait we will bump in to each other. KEWL

Re: Shamma-

Bumping this thread (no pun intended!)...

Does anyone get their threading done anywhere on the upper east side?
