At Meena Beauty Salon on 47th St in Woodside, Queens, we've been waxing men's eyebrows, chests, backs, and arms for years alongside our threading and facial work — it isn't an add-on service we tacked on later, it's part of the same room, same technicians, same sanitation routine we use for every client. We keep our approach straightforward: no upsell tiers, no membership required, just clean technique and a flat price listyou can read before you book. If you're comparing waxing to shaving or laser for the first time, or you've just never been sure what a men's wax at a Queens salon actually involves, this page walks through what we offer, what it costs, and how to prepare — or just book an appointmentdirectly if you already know what you need.
We keep pricing simple: every men's waxing service on our price list — back, chest, arms (full or half), eyebrows, underarms, and more — is $25 per service. No sliding scale based on "salon reputation," no vague range that turns into a surprise at checkout. If you want more than one area done in the same visit, ask us about combining services when you book; a lot of our regulars pair chest and back, or eyebrow waxing with a threading touch-up, in one appointment.
Our waxing menufor men covers the back, chest, arms (full or half), eyebrows, underarms, and ears — non-intimate grooming areas where waxing gives a cleaner, longer-lasting result than shaving. Every service uses the same single-use applicators and hospital-grade disinfectant protocol we follow for our threading and facial clients.
No. To be direct about it: we don't offer Brazilian, Manzilian, or any intimate waxing for men — our male waxing services are limited to the non-intimate areas listed above (back, chest, arms, eyebrows, underarms, ears). If that's specifically what you're looking for, we'd rather tell you upfront than have you show up expecting something we don't provide.
Back waxing removes hair from the upper, middle, and lower back in one session. We start with a skin-prep cleanse, apply the wax in sections working with your hair's natural growth direction, and finish with a soothing post-wax lotion to calm the skin. Like every service on our men's menu, it's $25, regardless of how much of the back is covered.
Beyond back and chest, we regularly wax arms (full or half), eyebrows, underarms, and ears for men who want a cleaner look without switching to daily shaving. If you're not sure which combination makes sense for you, mention it when you call and we'll walk you through it before you book.
We're a single-location, walk-in-friendly salon at 45-47 47th St in Woodside, Queens — not a chain, and not a listing on a directory page. That means the person who answers the phone, the technician who waxes you, and the person who follows up if something's wrong are all the same small team, not a rotating cast. We currently hold a 4.7-star average across 74 Google reviews, and a good share of those reviews mention our threading and waxing work specifically — not just facials or lashes.
Whether you book with us or elsewhere, the basics matter: single-use or freshly sanitized tools for every client, clear pricing before you sit down (not after), and a technician who explains what they're doing as they go. We do all three as a matter of course, not as a selling point we advertise separately.
Male waxingremoves hair from the root, resulting in a smooth finish that lasts three to six weeks. This method minimizes ingrown hairs and promotes exfoliation, which improves skin texture. Unlike shaving, which only cuts hair at the surface and must be done more frequently, waxing offers longer-lasting results and can lead to finer hair regrowth over time. Male servicesare also available for those interested in additional grooming options.
Waxing uniquely balances affordability and lasting results. Shaving is quick but requires daily effort and carries risks of cuts and irritation, while laserhair removalis more permanent but expensive and time-consuming. Waxing removes hair at the root, leading to smoother skin for longer periods, and repeated sessions tend to produce finer hair without the high cost of lasertreatments.
Waxing offers a longer duration of smoothness because it removes hair from the root, delaying regrowth. It also exfoliates the skin, leading to a better texture and a lower chance of ingrown hairs. This makes waxingan excellent choice for those seeking efficient, low-maintenance grooming.
Preparation and aftercare are key to achieving the best results and maintaining healthy skin. Exfoliating before waxing helps the waxgrip the hair instead of the skin. Immediately after waxing, applying a soothing lotion or natural oil reduces redness and irritation. Proper aftercare also minimizes ingrown hairs and keeps skin hydrated.

After waxing, apply a cold compress to reduce inflammation, followed by an alcohol-free, hydrating lotion or aloe vera gel. Avoid hot showers, steaming, or tight clothing for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation. Gentle exfoliationa few days later can keep trapped hairs at bay, while specific post-treatment care instructions provided by salons ensure maximum comfort.
To prevent ingrown hairs, gently exfoliate a few days after waxing to clear dead skin that might block hair follicles. Using an over-the-counter cream with salicylic acid can help unclog pores and reduce inflammation. Keeping the skin hydrated and avoiding friction from tight clothing further reduces the risk of ingrown hairs.
Recommended products for post-waxcare include alcohol-free moisturizers, aloe vera gels, and soothing creams with natural ingredients like chamomile or tea tree oil. These products help reduce redness, hydrate the skin, and prevent further irritation. Gentle exfoliating scrubs may also be used a few days after treatment to ensure the skin remains smooth.

Waxing provides long-lasting smoothness, with effects typically lasting three to six weeks. This duration means less frequent maintenance compared to daily shaving. Over time, repeated waxing can cause hair to regrow finer and sparser. It is important to understand the expected duration, potential discomfort, and the necessary aftercare to ensure satisfaction with the treatment.
Experts recommend waxing every three to six weeks, depending on individual hair growth and skin sensitivity. This interval provides enough regrowth for effective hair removalwhile keeping the skin consistently smooth. Adjustments may be necessary for faster-growing hair or more sensitive skin.
A waxing session in Queens generally lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area treated. For example, a full back waxing may take longer due to the larger area, while treatments for smaller areas like the chest or face require less time. Efficient sessions combine precise hair removalwith immediate aftercare guidance.
Most men report only mild discomfort during waxing, which quickly subsides afterward. The level of pain varies with the individual's threshold and the expertise of the technician. To reduce discomfort, avoid harsh skin products before waxing and opt for gentle exfoliation. Some salons use numbing creams or cooling treatments before the session, and effective post-waxproducts can soothe any irritation.
