Wax Me or Haus of Wax? Choosing a Waxing Studio on Ditmars, Astoria

Ditmars has two well-reviewed waxing studios close together: Wax Me Waxing Studio and Spa at 23-09 31st St and Haus of Wax at 28-07 Ditmars Blvd, about a block or two away. If you live in 11105, both are an easy walk. The real differences are in hours, what else each offers, and how much each tells you before you book.

At a glance

Ratings

Both are well-liked. Wax Me's 4.9 comes from 315 reviews and Haus of Wax's 4.7 from 139, so Wax Me leads on both the score and the sample size. Wax Me has 1 one-star review out of 315. Haus of Wax has 7 out of 139.

Hours: the practical difference

Google lists Haus of Wax with no hours on Monday or Tuesday, and Sunday hours that end at 3 PM. Wax Me lists hours every day of the week, including Sunday until 6 PM. If you work office hours and need an early-week or Sunday afternoon slot, that may decide it for you.

What each is built around

Haus of Wax lists itself on Google first as an eyebrow bar, with lash and facial services alongside waxing. If brow shaping or lash work is your main appointment, it is built for that.

Wax Me is built around body hair removal. Its menu has 15 facial-waxing areas, 21 body-waxing services, a full bikini range from a $50 bikini line to a $77 shaped Brazilian, seven sugaring services and a separate men's menu. It also does facials (from $130) and massage ($90 for 60 minutes), plus vajacials ($89) and ingrown-hair treatments ($85) that go with regular bikini waxing.

Wax Me prices worth knowing

We did not find a published price list for Haus of Wax, so we cannot compare prices. That does not mean its prices are higher; it means you will find out when you book.

Where Wax Me does not lead

If brows and lashes are your main reason to visit, Haus of Wax lists itself as an eyebrow bar and eyelash salon first, and Wax Me offers no lash services. Neither is the only option: our Astoria waxing map lists other studios within two miles.
