Maintaining the Shobha Environment

For your safety, no outside visitors of any shape/size are permitted in treatment rooms (i.e. infants, pets, boy/girlfriends, etc.). If you do plan to bring a visitor with you, please make certain to have another companion to chaperone them (for children and pets) while you are in a treatment.

All Shobha locations are cell-phone free zones, kindly take your calls in the building's outside hallway to avoid disrupting other clients

Waxing/Sugaring Policies

No Double-DipSM Policy

Here at Shobha we use only sanitary equipment and enforce a strict No Double-DipSM Policy, which means that the same spatula will NEVER be re-dipped into the vat of wax/sugaring gel.

The nauseating truth is that double-dipping is common practice in wax application. This method uses the same spatula for the entire treatment, re-dipping the used applicator back into the vat of wax. This contaminated wax is then reused for treatments on other individuals. Unfortunately, this technique can increase the chances of potentially-harmful bacteria spreading from one client to another, which is particularly disturbing when dealing with the body's nether region (AKA the bikini zone).

No Bikini Treatments for Menstruating Clients

Shobha Specialist will NOT perform bikini treatments on any menstruating client, period.

Generally, it is best to get a bikini treatment at least one week before or after your period. The closer you get to your actual period, the more sensitive your body becomes, so be nice to your body and avoid scheduling your appointment on those ultra-sensitive days.

Late Arrivals

Here at Shobha, we do our best to respect everyone's time and to be prompt with every appointment.  Taking into account that New York City and its many inhabitants can sometimes delay your plans, please know that if you arrive more than 5 minutes past your appointment start time, you may be asked to wait so that we may honor our next client's appointment.  We promise to do our best to take you as soon as possible, however if you cannot wait, we suggest rescheduling your Shobha date!
