“i had a very pleasant experience at rani for brazilian wax , under arms wax and threading . ” in 4 reviews
i have been coming to rani spas to get my eyebrows threaded for nearly 4 years now . i tried another spa in fairfax that made my eyebrows way too thin - i prefer them on the thick side , and can always count on coming here to have my eyebrows done how i want them .
i have been going to rani spas since devanshi opened a few years ago and as i have watched her business grow , and her shop get busier , she has not stopped delivering the same personalized service as she did the first time i walked into her salon . great service and awesome eyebrows every time !

robin is proud to be part of the rani spa team . his goal is to make sure that everyone who walks through the doors are completely satisfied with their visit .
devanshi is absolutely amazing , i ' ve been going to her for brow appointments / facials for several years now and she is the absolute best . not only is she a phenomenal and skilled aesthetician , she is very personable and always offers top - notch customer service . rani spas offers a wide range of spa services , so if you are looking for a great place for threading / waxing and beyond - definitely give her a visit !
i had been in different spas all over the city , and only in this location make me feel comfortable about my waxing . the person who help me treat me in a very professional manner , and take her time to explain to me which treatment was . . .
i live in the neighborhood and always go to rani to get my eyebrows threaded . the service is great and they do a great job . i always leave satisfied and recommend it to all my friends in the neighborhood .
my mom and i have been going to sanju lama for the past year . she used to work at the perfect eyebrows kiosk in tysons , now she is at rani spa . sanju is very good with eyebrows - she listens to the customer and gives us exactly what we want . she is very sweet and makes the clients feel very comfortable . the location is very clean and there is never a wait longer than 10 minutes for her . i will definitely be returning to rani spa for eye brows going forward !
if you want your eyebrows manicured by a well seasoned professional and you live in hell ' s kitchen / midtown west area , rani spa is my recommendation . i ' ve been coming here for two years not only because she makes my eyebrows look perfectly sculpted but also because of . . .
i had been in different spas all over the city , and only in this location make me feel comfortable about my waxing . the person who help me treat me in a very professional manner , and take her time to explain to me which treatment was the best for my skin and the prices were better than other places i had visited . i definitely going to make this place my regular waxing spa .
i ' m not suggesting that you should go to rani spa , i ' m telling you go to rani spa ! i ' ve been way overdue for a service so i called the to make an appointment . they were able to fit me in on the date of my choosing and even made sure that my service would be scheduled appropriately so that i could get to work on time ! the people who run the spa are awesomely accommodating and awesomely nice and awesomely talented and did i mention awesome ? i have never felt more comfortable taking a spa service than i did here . and the price ! ! ! i paid almost four times the amount at
spa
nearby for the exact same service provided for me today . on top of that i was offered a free mini service complimentary so that i could try a full one at another time ! i am never going anywhere else except rani spa . quality work , excellent service , and no bull poop prices .
i have had a few great haircuts rani salon , by a few different stylists . i will say , rarely i have been able to just walk - in and get a haircut , so make an appointment . they have done a great job at hair trims , haircuts and having my hair highlighted and overall color - it was all good .
rani thukral would go to queens boulevard near alexander and a & s stores while she would sit in mcdonald ' s and performed the spa services on customers as he brought more clients in .
people would ask him if that was edible chocolate on his hands they were not aware of the henna concept as much as they are today
says rani . she would be occasionally buying some more food items in mcdonalds so that they would be able to stay there . the word impossible never existed in her dictionary even till today . she always believed that hard work and effort is the reason behind every success . filled with energy and effort her personality lights up every soul around her . from performing mini cosmetology services on the streets of new york to getting her phd from boston while being a successful mother and wife ; to running a spa company today with over 14 locations and 3 cosmetic labels brands in new york with sister offices in india and china . rani thukral has really come a long way with her ongoing effort and her team mate anuj thukral .
just got my facial done here and absolutely loved it ! i used to get frequent facials but haven ' t been able to find a good spot or person that does extractions and cleansing thoroughly and now i finally found the right place for facials ! my face feels so clean and refreshed and you can see it glow and more radiant . thank you so much rani spa ! i will definitely be back for a facial monthly !
rani thukral has built the company drop by drop and brick by brick . from literally putting tiles on the floor with her own bare hands to cutting hair and printing her own hand made flyers and stapling on all the major trees . from changing light bulbs in the salon after work hours to flipping tapes in the tape recorder while booking clients on the cordless phone and keeping an eye on the timer of her clients hair color .
even today all products are formulated , tested and have an r & d by the astonishing knowledge of dr . rani ' s skincare , hair care and ayurveda .
she has always been an advocate of ayurveda . she and anuj both believe that ayurveda is far more superior than herbal , natural , organics . r think she has more books on ayurveda and holistic healing than she has clothes .

i ' ve been going here for many years and i ' m just now writing a review ! i tried out a lot of spas in the area specifically for facials and i found rani spa to be the best in service and price ! divanshi does my facials and she ' s very warm and friendly . she ' s also very thorough and honest . you can tell she ' s passionate about her job . i typically go every month but depending on the season and how my skin is she tells me if i should go every 4 , 5 or 6 weeks . she ' s done wonders for my skin just using her technique of extraction and massage . she doesn ' t believe in using chemicals to exfoliate your skin rather she massages it really well to exfoliate and it makes my skin glow ! this place is very clean and modern . parking is also a breeze . this place has become my go to for facials and eyebrow threading . love this place and the people that work here . i highly recommend !
sometimes talents in individuals are hidden and they only sprout and come out when the planets align for them . the alignment could be an opportunity , an idea , a dozen years ofhard work or simply something like just feeling completely different one morning . rani thukral set her foot outside ofindia for the first time in her life . her journey was a round trip ticket from new delhi to frankfurt to london to new york . attached to her hand was her 9 year old son holding on to her pinky . they were all set to go back to new delhi until they arrived in new york , which changed everything . rani thukral discovered a new definition of freedom where women were driving buses and the word impossible didn ' t seem to be in the dictionary of the city . there were no barriers when it came to opportunity for men offor women and where a person ' s ability counted for more than a person ' s age .
stay away from this place ! i never got my hair done there and now never will . i just went in on my way home to buy a hair product that was $ 23 , the woman took my credit card and called it in . a day later there was another fraudulent charge for $ 55 on my card from rani spa in westbury , ny in addition to the legitimate charge . they have still not credited me , now i have to cancel my card and have the bank investigate .
i went to rani spas because of a referral and i have to say the lady who did my eyebrows , devanshi , did a great job . i am very picky about my eyebrows , i like to do them myself most of the time because i can ' t trust anyone to do them exactly how i want them , but devanshi knew exactly what to do . i have some bald spots as well as some parts that have thinner hair than the other brow but she knew that that is easily fixed by filling it in . in the past i have gone to places and they just want to remove all the thinner hair and only leave the thick hair but then the brows wont be even . she was very thorough and fast , always asking me if it was looking good along the process . i also ended up threading my upper lip ( which hurts a lot ! ) and she did a great job to make it as fast and painless as possible . all for $ 13 ! ( eyebrows and lip ! ) that ' s a great price ! ! i ' d happily drive from lorton to fairfax for devanshi any time !
really the best hair cut and exactly what i had in mind for a quick 15 min walk - in haircut ! rani is the best . i would seriously consider coming to nyc just for the haircut . i was waiting for someone nearby and didn ' t want to waste my time . since i had long hair i thought might as well get the haircut , the worst case would be i had to cut it twice . she spent 5 min asking what i want to achieve and i told her i want some professional looking haircut . she gave me some suggestions and 10 min later , i got my versatile professional easy - handling haircut . loved it ! plus only for 35 $ .
very upset with this salon . they advertise smokey eye 15 so i decided to try it out cause i had a party to attend . all she litterly did was draw a line up . something a 10 year old can do . no blending no nothing it took her 3 minutes . i didn ' t even complain cause clearly she was not a makeup artist so no point . rani must hire any cheap labor . do not get your make up done there ! they should not claim to do smoke eye when they do not know how to do makeup at all . i was thinking the lady was indian she must know how to do a beautiful smoke eye cause indian ' s always have dramatic smokey eye look . but no horrible . i washed my face right when i got home .
when i lived in fairfax , this was my go to for eyebrow threading . the owner was usually around to do mines and it never really hurt whenever she did them . i have thick , bushy eyebrows that can turn into a unibrow if not kept up . so i was so happy when i found an awesome threader in my vicinity . the pricing is great too ! $ 8 for eyebrow threading is almost unheard of . i always walked in , never had an appt and i never waited for more than 5 minutes . the service was always pleasant and welcoming . i even brought my niece here for her bday mani / pedi ( back when they had a nail tech ) and they were very patient with her . she was so happy ! i live way out in arlington now and sometimes i just want to drive back to fairfax to get my eyebrows threaded because i have yet to find someone that does them right like at rani ' s .
i ' d like to give rani spa 0 stars . it is a horrific dishonorable business . a frequent client , they convinced me to purchase an 8 pack gift card . a week later my wallet was stolen with the card in it . i went into try to talk to them about it and confirm that they had a record and not only did they not have a record , they also said their computer was broken and there was absolutely nothing they could do about it other than sell me a new card at a very good rate . as if ! i proceeded to call five more times and even physically went back into the store to dispute it and convince them to honor the charge but was bounced from employee to employee with no one able to help me and everyone claiming they were not the manager and couldn ' t assist . i called and emailed their corporate office to discuss further and never received a return call . i ' m horrified by their thievery and will never go back there again .

i ' m so glad i discovered this place so close to my work ! i came for an eyebrow threading and honestly i was a little nervous trying a new place . however , the technician listened to what i wanted and took her time getting it to look right . she also offered a short temple massage at the end . at $ 8 , this is super affordable for great quality !
this was the first place i tried out since moving here . and it was by far my worst waxing experience ever . even though i called in to make an appt , the original waxer was out so some other woman had to wax me . she didn ' t wear gloves . and kept leaving the room . the place was beyond unsanitary . the wax was too hot . and i could hear someone snoring in the next room over . i really should ' ve left but i desperately needed my legs waxed . all in all i will not be back .
i went here for my eyebrows threading . nice clean place . i ' m happy with the service . didn ' t have to wait too long . the service was quick . i will go here again .
second experience with eyebrow threading , the lady didn ' t clean up my eyebrows as nicely as i liked . there were multiple missed spots and i just came to clean them up , not have them shaped . however , this wasn ' t devanshi and i still highly recommend her . for hair , i had z cut layers . unfortunately they came out uneven , which i noticed later , but she was fun to have as my hairdresser . not a big deal since apparently my hair wasn ' t straight , so she fixed all that for me . the uneven layer in the front was not noticeable , only by me since i ' m the only one who stares at my hair for lengthy periods of time . i had trouble finding the place and went back and forth in fairfax that i ended up coming late to my appointment . i had one with pa but since i came late and she had another client , z took me up which i greatly appreciated . customer service in this spa is phenomenal and i highly recommend .
i went there for a brow threading , disappointed ! the lady was in a hurry and didn ' t properly finish the threading , also the place is so dirty , it ' s nothing like what you see in other pictures on yelp . i ' ll never go there for another service !


the standard steel casting company , commonly referred to as thurlow works , was a steel production and steel casting facility founded in chester , pennsylvania in 1883 by shipbuilder john roach .

the company was established primarily to supply steel ingots for roach 's steel mills , which included the chester rolling mill and the combination steel and iron company , although it also manufactured steel castings .

standard steel was the first company in the united states to manufacture commercial quantities of steel utilizing the acid open hearth process .

roach relinquished majority ownership of the company in 1884 to robert wetherill .

in subsequent years , thurlow works made a name for itself as a manufacturer of large steel castings , especially for the railroad industry .

america 's first cast steel locomotive frames were poured at thurlow in 1893 .

the standard steel casting company was merged with several other steel casting companies in 1892 to become the american steel casting company .

the american steel casting company was itself merged some years later to form one of america 's largest steel companies , american steel foundries .

foundries are not only concerned about the net ( resulting ) weight of a casting ; they are mostly concerned about the gross weight of the casting . the gross weight is measured by the weight of molten metal required to fill a mold comprised of the resulting casting , and all feed material ( gates , risers , etc . ) required to ensure a sound casting results from the casting process . a foundry’s casting price will be significantly affected by the casting yield ( the efficiency of the casting process and the weight of the resulting casting divided by the weight of the feed metal poured into the mold ) they achieve .

subsequent to its establishment as a limited liability company , standard steel exited the commercial ring rolling and steel ingot businesses , and ceased operations at its latrobe , pa , plant , choosing to focus production at its burnham plant on its most significant market , the railway industry . today , standard steel is a recognized leader in supplying railway wheels and axles to the freight , diesel , and rapid transit markets .
1995 - celebrates 200 years with the theme
setting the standard - forging the future .
close cooperation between the customer ' s design engineers and the supplier foundry is essential to optimize the casting design . all casting designs should be checked by a foundry professional before production to determine the feasibility of the casting project .
very few companies in north america trace their roots back 210 years , but standard steel of burnham , pa , will reach that milestone next year . established in 1795 as freedom forge , the company is likely the oldest continuously operating forging company in america .
the company grows in supporting world war ii efforts by constructing patterns for local baltimore manufacturers including the bendix corporation , bethlehem steel & ship yards , the glenn l . martin company , and the ellicott machine company .
cast steel is the most common ferrous casting metal , however , other metals can be used depending on desired physical properties , including stainless steel , malleable iron , and ductile iron . aluminum and copper are the most common non - ferrous metals used in casting .
he continued ,
on behalf of the leadership team of standard steel , welcome to our future . . . a future we will build together .

cleveland is known as an industrial city , and steel companies help fuel the economy for the city . cleveland and other cities throughout the state are home to companies like j & l steel corporation , midland steel , and carnegie steel company . asbestos was commonly used in steel mills for insulation in its construction and for the equipment . workers in these steel companies , from the machinists to the conductor , all faced the potential of exposure .
note : the ironton malleable iron company of ironton , ohio was evidently acquired by the dayton malleable iron company in 1916 .
the breadth and reliability of information maintained in the new system became particularly valuable when standard steel began a restructuring effort after filing for bankruptcy in 2001 . besides providing the financial visibility and controls to manage cash flow during a crucial time , the system provided standard steel managers with the information to analyze the profitability of the company ' s various products — and make decisions about which ones to focus on as the foundation for growth .

sivyer steel is one of the country’s oldest continuously operating steel casting companies . frederick lincoln sivyer founded the company in 1909 . with a management team of three and seven other employees , the firm was well positioned to serve the farm equipment , mining , crane equipment and chain belt industries .
with the help of a consulting firm , standard steel reviewed and documented key business processes , identified opportunities for streamlining , and outlined the requirements for a new information system . after looking at nearly a dozen different packages , the standard steel team selected the axiom enterprise resource management system from axis computer systems , inc . , marlborough , ma , for the following reasons :
the company grew to employ 250 in just seven years , earning the trust of more than 750 customers . sivyer had already become widely recognized as the standard for excellence in the production of steel parts as well as the molds used to cast them .
graftech international is the leader in the graphite industry focused on maximizing customers’ bottom lines and providing unparalleled service , while developing cutting - edge technology that sets the standard in the steel industry .
industry standard specifications provide the casting customer with the tools necessary to establish criteria for almost any casting application . these specifications do not preclude special requirements that the customer ' s technical staff members may require . variations from standard specifications can result in misunderstandings , higher costs , and disqualification of potential supplier foundries . if an exception is taken to a provision in the main body of a specification requirement ( as opposed to taking exception to a supplemental requirement of a specification ) , the resulting casting cannot be held to compliance with those specifications .

sir joseph whitworth used his measuring machines to develop his own system of standard gauges , although standard gauges had been in use since 1825 . he pointed out to the institution of civil engineers in 1841 and the institution of mechanical engineers in 1856 , during his presidency , that standard gauges , graduated to a fixed scale should be used as a constant measure of size . this would enable any manufacturer to mass - produce standard , interchangeable machine parts at much lower costs . from here it was a short step to the standardisation of screw threads , for which sir joseph whitworth is probably best known . although the screw - cutting lathe was by now common place , manufacturers would each use their own thread sizes , despite maudslay ' s earlier attempts to introduce uniformity of threads .

sir joseph whitworth ' s last contribution to mechanical engineering was his discovery that guns made from ductile steel would wear by loosing their shape whereas hard steel guns tended to explode when they were unsound . the problem was in casting ductile steel into ingots without creating air pockets , which made the metal unsound . sir joseph whitworth ' s solution was an adaptation of bessemer ' s principle of hydraulic pressure casting . the method was patented in 1874 and the metal produced was called ' whitworth steel ' . joseph whitworth ' s achievements in 1856 , sir joseph whitworth was elected president of the institution of mechanical engineers in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the development of industrialisation and mechanical engineering . this was then followed by a long list of awards and achievements : -

if your part requires machining or other secondary operations after casting , porosity can be a major concern . one of our consumer electronic customers experienced issues with porosity when their part was cosmetically plated during the trial run . our engineers quickly adjusted the gating method , overflow locations , and applied vacuum casting to solve the problem .
a core is a hollow space created within a casting by a piece of molding sand . cores are necessary when the spaces or cavities cannot be created with the pattern alone . the use of cores may eliminate the need for draft , however their use should be limited as they add to the cost of the casting .
we have found that this stellite is very superior to the high speed steel or anything else that we have found .

the 1920s ushered in a new era for the company . due to its tremendous growth during world war i , haynes stellite became an acquisition target and was sold to “a group of eastern capitalists” , as the kokomo daily tribune reported . union carbide’s ownership of the company would last for the next 50 years .
from a structural perspective , the organization of the company was the first of its kind in the iron and steel industry in lorraine , since it allowed entrepreneurs and directors to enter capital . “the first two directors did not wield power because they owned the capital . they acquired the capital because they wielded the power” .
the company initially outsourced production of malleable parts for the chassis and drive system , but later changed to in - house production . the composition of malleable cast iron differs from regular cast iron , and because there was no quick way to analyze the composition , adjusting it was very difficult . specialized knowledge was necessary to determine the composition of melted samples , so the company brought in an experienced foundry worker from another company , allowing it to make the changeover to internal production .
the development of cast iron pipes has been fuelled by major technical innovations . to begin with , in the 1930s , centrifugation replaced vertical casting . the company bought the patent of this process , developed by two brazilian engineers , and then improved it . the idea of centrifugation is based on the use of centrifugal force to mould pipes with a regular input of metal . this principle was improved over the decades and had become a universal means of production by the 1950s . this technological breakthrough allowed pont - à - mousson to produce large series and to achieve rates of production that were unimaginable using vertical casting .
