Meena Beauty Salon

I have been coming here ever since I started threading my eyebrows. When they first opened up they were great, never crowded, and took their time. Now I feel like they are rushed since they are so busy, which is great for them but not for me. I have gotten a brazilian wax done here several times, it really depends on who you get. I have stopped coming here as often, and even when I do come I walk by to make sure they aren’t packed.

The first time I got my eyebrows done was at Meena and I have continued to go here ever since! This place is great. The ladies are very nice, welcoming and amazing at their jobs. They really listen to what you need and accommodate to specific requests when it comes to your eyebrows. And for a great price too! $ 5 not including tip.
I once got my bikini wax done there and it wasn’t bad but I think I would prefer to go to a spa for my next attempt.
I would definitely recommend Meena for any eyebrow maintenance that needs to be done! Definitely don’t have to go all the way to the city for decent eyebrows!

I use to love coming to this salon for several years, but my love became necessity and I’m at the point now where I’d rather walk around with an unibrow instead of having these guys touch me.
Little by little I started noticing how much my job was rushed and oftentimes left with funky looking eyebrows. What really got me was the way my oldest daughter was treated when I didn’t accompany her. The back and forth talking in another language while looking at her, the rough handling and subpar job was enough to realize these ladies were angry, jealous jerks. Believe me. I thought twice before writing this review, but after having my daughter revisit and having history repeat itself, I knew their attitude was no accident.
So, I’ll take my business elsewhere.

I came here about 5 times to get my eyebrows threaded and I’m still a bit indifferent towards this place. The great thing is that it’s only $ 5 and a pretty quick process. It’s never been crowded when I came — never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be taken care of.
Now I should note that I’m a wuss and I totally do not like to get my eyebrows threaded, I definitely prefer waxing. It hurt and made my eyes tear up each time — but I blame my face and not the girl that was doing my brows. I had my eyebrows threaded at other places and it hurt less there. What I especially didn’t like was how thin they left my eyebrows! They left me looking like a chola. The hell?
This place was the main reason why I quit on threading and went back to waxing. I probably won’t ever come back unless it’s a hairmergency. Now I only go to my girl in the Bronx!

Best place in sunnyside to do your eyebrows. I have been coming here for years. The girls are nice and always helpful. I have never had a problem at this salon.

this was my threading salon to go until this year when I started to notice the thread they’re using was cheap (low quality) and it was cutting my brows alot! until ey change that thread I won’t return

Be very careful about the salon. I will never go to this one …
I went to the salon and I have my eyebrow/​mustache and I was infected on my face. I went to my doctor and he said I got HERPES on my right side of face, I have to take medications, Zovirax, Valacyclovir and B complex ($ 150) for the past week I am in a very bad pain, and a strict diet. I have to stay a way from my friends/​family, and be very careful at my job because is very contagious… I hope I will recover soon.
I feel is my duty to let you all know about this embarrassing and painful problem…

I love coming to this place for my eyebrow threading, as to sticking to one person to do the same work everytime. The prices are reasonable and the lady who does my threading is nice and very friendly. I would def. just come back maybe on afternoons when theyre not that packed and busy

With all of the Indian establishments popping up around Sunnyside, it only seems natural to see an influx of threading salons as well. Meena is one of the new kids on the block, located in the heart of Sunnyside on Greenpoint.
The threading craze in the neighborhood is creating a demand for hair removal to a community largely composed of Hispanics, Asians, and future hipsters. Meena has done their part in offering Jackson Heights prices for their threading, which for women is a mere $ 5. But of course, when a guy steps into the joint, the price is suddenly $ 8 (#1). Don’t be fooled by the «$ 5 only» sign on the street. Read the fine print that appears in menu fashion that can only be found inside the salon.
But even at $ 8, is the work better than anything in Manhattan? Not really. If it’s not cheaper and better in Manhattan, it certainly won’t compare to the likes of Jackson Heights and Corona. My female friends complained their brows weren’t looking too fabulous, but certainly not shabby either. 2 stars for the service, but a serious downgrade for just about everything else. Looking for an alternative spot? Just check out the other 3 places across the street.

I was a customer of this salon for 3 years — until today. Although this location does a good job of threading, the way the run their shop is ridiculous. For the second time, I found myself waiting a very long time for a particular lady to thread my brows, only to have a customer walk in and take the spot in front of me. Why? Because, this shop allows people to come in, look at the long wait, and then go shopping while they hold their spot. So, while I waited patiently (along with everyone else) for 25 mins, another woman returns from her shopping/​errands and jumps in line in front of me — only because the lady doing the threading told her she could go out and whenever she comes back she will take her first. Yes, seriously. And this was the SECOND time this has happened. I do speak Hindi/​Urdu and told the owner in the mother language that this is perhaps the most infuriating thing he could do to customers. I, too, have other things to do, yet I waited — and so did everyone else. Who runs their business like this? I walked out and will not return to this location, nor the 56^th street location near my office. There are so many other great places to get threading done, which are fair and know how to run their business. Ridiculous.
