Editorial Review for Shobha Madison – by Sandra Ramani
The Scene
An outpost of the always-busy Soho salon, Shobha is not your everyday hair removal salon. The owner's not so typical, either: A Harvard business school grad with a background in electrical engineering, Shobha Tummala oversees her company with a passion for education, quality and details. As a result, every aspect of a client's experience--from the employees' bedside manner to the post-service spritzes of rosewater--are pitch-perfect.
The Services
Threading--the ancient art of hair removal--is performed here by super-trained techs, using only high-grade, imported cotton thread. The thread is twisted, looped and zipped across unwanted fuzz, removing even short or ingrown hairs from the follicle with less pain and more precision--and without irritation, chemicals or post-service redness (which makes it the only option for people using Retin A or recovering from plastic surgery). For larger areas, Shobha does sugaring--a waxing-like service minus the harshness or stickiness of wax--with handmade mixtures and single-use, 100% denim strips.

I have been going to Eliza's Eyes at Exhale on 59th Street but, after my last trip there--for almost $100!!--I decided to look somewhere else. It is always a bit nerve-wracking to have a new person mess with such a prominent part of your face so I was in some ways expecting the worst. What a pleasant surprise! The Madison location, on 57th and Madison, is lovely--in a professional building, light, airy, clean, and comfortable. They only do threading for brows and Datta did mine. She was extremely warm, efficient, and GOOD. Threading isn't comfortable--but then again, neither is waxing--and she moved quickly. I am extremely happy with the results...and only $20!!!
