StreetLevel: Cleaners, Threading Joint Replace Argyle Office

I just had to look up what eyebrow threading is. In case you're curious:

**
Threading is an ancient method of hair removal which originated in parts of India, the Middle and Far East, and is now gaining popularity in Western countries.

Threading is a hair removal technique that uses 100% cotton thread. The cotton thread is twisted and rolled along the surface of the skin entwining the hairs in the thread, which are then lifted quickly from the follicle. It is more precise than waxing and allows for better lines.

The technique is rather inexpensive because it does not require costly chemical ingredients. Messy waxes and creams are avoided altogether. For women who would like to pursue a more natural beauty regimen, hair threading is a good choice, since it does not use harmful products.

As opposed to waxing, the top layers of skin are not peeled or traumatized in the process making threading gentler on the skin. Threading is highly recommended and an excellent option for those who use Retin-A, Accutane, or similar products.

Eyebrow threading is a practice of shaping the eyebrows. Eyebrow threading is a preferred hair removal technique for a number of reasons. Unlike tweezing or plucking, eyebrow threading removes one clean line of hair all at once, making it much quicker and easier to shape the brows. It is important to find an aesthetician who is experienced at eyebrow threading. Inexperience can result in uneven brows, hair breakage, ingrown hairs, or unnecessary pain.

Goldie,

It's funny you mention that, because I was just curious about that also and was trying to do some research on it. The only thing I came up with was this....that space is 158A Berkeley Place and this came up for 158...

Then when I googled that studio, it's this:

But perhaps 158 is somewhere else above where Zuzu's was and I'm totally off. I live very close to there, so I'll take a pic if I see it become anything.

I'm not really sure where that 14K figure started out, Dave. Do you? Most 7th Avenue storefronts are more like 6-8K and down on 5th, they are more like 4-6K a month.

A lot for sure, but not 14K.

I don't think it's true, Dave.

I look at rents for commercial properties quite regularly, and I've never seen anything on 7th even approaching that number, unless it's an absolutely ginormous space.

I know that the new Turkish place that just opened up on 7th is paying 7500 and it's bigger than the Yogurt place.

I know this will come as a shock to you, but not everything on this blog is true. ;))

I think it's 5th between 2nd and 3rd.

Don't quote me, but I think...
