Laser Hair Removal
Shobha's laser hair removal uses FDA-cleared technology for permanent hair reduction. Treatments target hair follicles with precision, minimizing discomfort and ingrowns. Ideal for all body areas, including face, bikini, and underarms, this service offers long-lasting smoothness after 6-9 sessions.
Eyebrow Threading
This ancient technique removes hair at the root using twisted cotton thread. Shobha specialists shape brows with millimeter precision, ideal for sensitive skin. The process includes a consultation to design brows that complement facial symmetry and natural hair growth patterns.
Sugaring
Shobha's sugaring paste contains only sugar, lemon, and water. This gentle method removes hair in the natural direction of growth, reducing breakage and ingrowns. Effective for large areas like legs and back, it's suitable for all skin types including those on acne medications.
Microblading
This semi-permanent cosmetic procedure creates realistic hair strokes using specialized pigments. Shobha's certified artists perform a 3-hour session including design consultation, followed by a touch-up appointment. Results mimic natural brows for 1-3 years with proper aftercare.
Bikini Waxing
Shobha offers customized bikini waxing from basic to Brazilian styles. Our proprietary wax formulation includes soothing azulene oil. Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes, with results lasting 3-6 weeks. Pre- and post-care guidance ensures optimal comfort and hair regrowth patterns.

I went to get my eyebrows once. People are very friendly. The services were great but the prices are little too much. There are plenty of different services that they provide but I felt the prices were very high.

Manju is the absolute best. A long time client for waxing and threading, I finally tried laser...now permanently hair-free after only 7 sessions! It was so fast and nearly painless. A+! my only complaint...bring back an uptown east side location!

I came here for a laser hair treatment and after just one session feeling glad I went through with it. Tatiana is a wonderful technician who offers just the right amount of communication, support, and friendliness for the service. They are crystal clear about what they can and cannot guarantee in terms of outcomes, and make it a point to ask how you're feeling and what you need to make it a comfortable experience.
