Meena Threading Place

Came here for eyebrows and a full face wax, although prices reasonable, I would question the quality. Left with my skin peeled off on the left side of my face near my upper lip and it looks awful! It was bleeding for a couple of hours after and I had to constantly ice it. The lady was in a hurry and kept double dipping while waxing my upper lip. Will never come here again! Walked in hoping to feel prettier and walked out with a big mark on my face that will take many days to heal if not more.

This is my eyebrow place. I’ve never had an issue with the technicians here and everyone has always been friendly and helpful. I’ve recommended this place to my family and friends and those who have tried them have liked their work. Plus you can’t beat the $ 6 price tag for eyebrows. I’ll definitely be back.

very nice lady and she did a nice job on my eyelashes

I’ve been to this place quite a few times. I’m not a fan. The lady I usually get doesn’t shape my eyebrows well at all. she just makes them round instead of giving them an arch. On more than one occasion she has made both my eyebrows uneven. Tonight she took too much off my right brow. Another time she went too far in from the middle on the left side. After all the times I’ve gone there and not been satisfied I will not be going here again. She’s too inconsistent and doesn’t do a good job shaping.

I was excited to find a spot that waxes at a reasonable price close by. I thought they did an okay job at that moment but a closer look shows she did a really shabby job.
The hair is broken from the root as opposed to being uprooted altogether which is a huge no no. I do recall her telling me that she went over some spots a few times because the hair won’t come out, but isn’t it their job to tweeze it out and make sure the hair can be waxed. In fact, I was just waxed two days ago and there are so many stray hair (s) all over my leg. See attached.
I definitely felt rushed, but just needed to get waxed so I went in. I didn’t get a chance to inspect anything because of the rush even though the salon was nearly empty. Now I regret it because there are many salons in the same range around the area. In fact there was a free eyebrow with my wax which I didn’t realize till after I paid and walked out. No one offered to do the eyebrows while I was in there. Lastly, I tipped generously and truly regret it now.
The room was relatively clean though compared to others in the area but I question the double dipping aspect since they use these rollers with wax in them. Just make sure they take their time when and if you do decide to get waxed there.

My 5-​star rating is elicited for one reason: Great eyebrow threading every time. And you seriously can’t beat $ 6 (although there are at least 3 other places within 2 blocks who are competitive in their pricing).
My brows are never too thin, and they’re quick and precise. I was hesitant to have my brows done by another woman that I hadn’t seen before, but I’m pretty sure all of the women have threaded me, and I’m A-​OK with them all. I usually can’t suffer through the excruciating pain of getting my upper lip done, but these women are quick and efficient.
Also, bonus points for the rewards card. Free threading every 10^th time you go – can’t complain about that! For the most part, the women are pretty friendly too. I’d definitely recommend this salon for a good threading.

I like this place. I have more facial hair than a lady should. Out of all the places I’ve been to be threaded and/​or waxed I leave here with the least amount redness. Some other places have left me with small cuts in the places I have thicker hair, it doesn’t happen here. I am also a fan of getting a facial here. When I tell the ladies to go light on the eyebrows, (meaning I want them thicker) they listen.

Great place. I’ve only got my eyebrows done here a few times since 2011. They do a great job for $ 6. I would def recommended for threading.

My go to place for my brows. I’ve been going here for roughly three years. I’m sure I’ve had a semi bad experience but for the life of me can’t remember. I haven’t had an issue with my brows, I believe it was the service that I had the semi bad experience with.

PLEASE Don’t even think of going here !!
The women working here seems like trainees and have no clue how to even hold the thread! They took one of my eyebrow-​Off !!! I’m still in shock really !
And when I asked the lady’s name she refused to give me her name. The owner apparently never visits the salon !
I had heard some horrible reviews but thought how bad can a eyebrow threading be?
The women working there are RUDE, INCOMPETENT and just as DIRTY as the salon!!! Stay Away .
There are lot of threading salons in the neighborhood. I wish I had read Unilocal reviews before. Now I have to live with penciling my eyebrow & look like a freak :(

Very Rude and NASTY workers.
I am a generous tipper and respectful.
This place should close down.

I came here because of the reviews on Unilocal.My office had just moved so I was looking for a new threading place since threading has been my preference for eyebrow-​hair removal for the last 8 years.
This place gets two good stars because people were nice and the place was fine-​looking.
Minus three stars because my eyebrows came out bad. One eyebrow is now longer than the other and the shape is uneven and off in-​between the eyebrows. The service was quick (that’s good, i guess) but the job came out blotched.

I came onto to threading a few years ago when waxing became too taxing for my sensitive skin. I never had a problem here so am surprised to see a low rating. I went to both this locale and the one in Midtown East. Always can walk in with no appointment. They adhere to your eyebrows requests (mine are, thick only, just clean it up and very bit off the top)…
Sometimes there is a wait after work around 5pm or so… but usually it’s just 15 minutes at most. The mid-​east locale surprisingly is not as crowded. Sadly I know none of the girls names. They have a frequent customer card, and am happy to honor a free eyebrows when you’ve filled 10 times.
Eyebrows are 8, lip is 5… and they take card; you can even tip on the card. I usu. do $ 2. Facilities are clean.
I have moved from the neighborhood and found a new brow place but I have nothing bad to say about Meena’s.

Eyebrow threading for $ 6? I’m game.
It wasn’t bad at all, as a matter of fact I liked the results of their threading work and I have been going back since it is in a convenient location for me.
I always do walk in, and never waited for more than 6 minutes. The place obviously lacks the upper scale decoration you can find at other threading salons around the area, and seldom you’ll find trash cans full of the wiping tissues and threading strings that needs to be empty. Other than that, threading wise everything is clean and the ladies usually do a good job.
If you are afraid of them thinning out your brows too much, I say you should speak up when you sit on that chair. Don’t expect them to magically know what you are wishing for.
The only downside is that often the staff chat up in their native language (I know this is NYC and foreign language is everywhere but come on be more tactful… you have customers right here who don’t speak your language). And sometimes after they ask you if you want to get your upper lip down, they will say a few sentence to another staff after you tell her «No». It makes me wonder if she was commenting on me: «Ha! no upper lip threading? So this one enjoys being a mustache lady…».
Oh well, I’ll suck it up for the price…
ps. Grab the card by the cash register. You can get a freebie after 9^th eyebrow threading. Also, min. of $ 10 for credit cards.

I would like to share my experience of visiting this Threading Salon, so that you can stay away from it!
If I could give a ‘0’ rating — I would!
I went in with a friend and was appalled at the attitude of the staff! Firstly, in spite of the salon being absolutely empty with no clients, we had to wait as one of the staff was busy on the phone and the other was ignorant of whatever was being requested of her.
My young friend has recently been fitted with a medical device which restricts certain postures and activities. She therefore very politely requested the staff at the salon if she could get the waxing of the legs done in the sitting or the standing position as she would be unable to lie on her tummy while the back of the legs were being done.
Instead of even trying to understand what was being asked, the reply was in the negative and to top it all the girl had the gall to ask what the need was to get waxing done if she had a medical condition!
If this is not the height of insensitivity and utter disregard for a consumer I wonder what is!
It did not take long for us to walk next door to a more courteous and empathetic salon which catered to my friend’s needs!
Pull up your socks Meena… [and your waxing strips for that matter] !
Certainly would not recommend this place even to my enemies!

I read all the reviews and thought that maybe it was an ok place to go.
First of all, when I entered the shop, NOBODY KNEW I WAS THERE.
Okay. I got waxing for my legs, arms, etc AND THE FACE.
I have acne skin, so last time I did threading my skin got real bad so I did waxing (which I did it before and I am used to it). I didn’t know why but it hurt like HELL and it felt like burning. The lady who did it was keep telling me to roll ice over it, so I was like.“what?” but I came home.
I looked at the mirror
and OH. I got two places with ripped skin.
No wonder why it hurt so badly.
I called the place again to tell them that this shouldn’t be happening and that they should be careful next time, they were just telling me that it’s NORMAL FOR PIMPLE SKIN. Really?
I really got mad at them and hung up.
THIS PLACE IS NOT WORTH GOING.

I am a def am a big fan of meena’s. I have gone to many places before and after and it comes back to their precision and cleanliness and professionalism.
you can share what them what you want and are looking for.
and please don’t talk to them rude — yes its cheap — but they don’t work for you and no one should talk to anyone the way i hear from young girls talk to the meena’s staff.

I used to go to a Perfect Brows on the UES that I thought was great. For some reason, I thought it was normal to leave with open wounds and scars after threading.
But then I moved to Murray Hill… and met the ladies at Meena. They rehabilitated me… the way Cesar Milan does with emotionally wounded/​traumatized dogs.
They’re amazing — cheap, fast, thorough, and gentle. The scars from Perfect Brows have healed… and I’ve saved a little cash.

clean cute place, but the ladies thread too much and left my eyebrows kinda bare… good thing hair grows back! or at least my eyebrow hair always does even though people say that eyebrow hair doesn’t!
what they do that’s great is they trim and apply aloe vera to your eyebrows after the threading, which is better service than Ziba Threading in the Orange County area. plus, they’re not busy and you don’t have to wait for 30 minutes.
they also have a frequent customer discount card: go 9 times and get the 10^th time free.
close and convenient.

Hey ladies–
You know that «ZOMFG I’m totally bare» feeling you get after a bikini wax? Well imagine feeling that… ON YOUR FACE!
I’m a hairy girl by nature, so one day outta curiosity, I decided to try a new threading place. I walked upstairs to the salon, and asked the chick on duty to thread «all of this»…while gesturing to my upper lip, eyebrows, chin, and side burns. I’ve been blessed/​cursed with a fine layer of blond facial hair, yet thick Middle-​Eastern eyebrows that will connect if left to their own devices… hence the need for maintenance.
Maybe I shoulda been more specific, because she proceeded to thread my ENTIRE FACE. The whole fucking thing! Everything below my hairline was removed (aside from my eyebrows) and it felt… weird. The process itself was painful because she was really slow (espesh over/​under the lips) but 20 minutes/​$ 20 later, I felt oddly aerodynamic — like a swimmer who shaves everything the night before the race to prevent drag.
It was TOO intense of a feeling… so much so, that I couldn’t stop touching my face and thinking I was high. And I didn’t need that on a Saturday afternoon.
