Zahra Threading Salon

Threading salons have a quiet presence along Amsterdam Avenue, offering precision without the buzz of waxing strips. Zahra Threading Salon fits neatly into that tradition at 287C Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10023—right where the Upper West Side keeps its mix of quick errands and neighborhood rituals. They specialize in the method itself, shaping brows, removing facial hair, and even tackling full-face sessions with cotton thread spun between fingers. A quick call to 212-721-4444 can secure a slot, though walk-ins often find a chair open within the hour.

Beyond brows, the place handles lip, chin, and sideburn threading, plus eyebrow tinting for those who prefer definition without daily penciling. The Upper West Side’s blend of students, professionals, and long-time locals means threading slots fill fast around lunch and after work; checking the map ahead of time helps avoid backtracking. Directions to the salon are available here, pinpointing the storefront between the dry cleaner and the corner deli.
