About Menuka Hair and Beauty Salon
Menuka Hair and Beauty is a small salon for women based in Flatbush, Auckland, located at 14/13 Kimpton Road in Papatoetoe. Founded in June 2020, it has built its name on providing quality service at a reasonable price, with a simple promise behind the chair: your satisfaction is their commitment.
For a small salon, the service list is remarkably complete. Hair covers straight and style cuts, shampoo and blow-dry, touch-up and full-head colour, per-foil highlights, GHD straightening, permanent straightening and a 30-minute hair oil massage. Skin care runs from a quick Express facial up to Gold, Pearl and Diamond treatments, alongside pimple care and pigments care facials, face and full back bleach, and back polish. Waxing is offered from brows, lip and chin through to full legs, back, Brazilian and full body, while threading keeps brows and facial lines sharp. Brow and lash tinting, makeup for special occasions and henna tattoos (by appointment) round out the menu.
It is a personal, women-only space where appointments are welcome and given priority, open 10am to 7pm every day of the week. Clients travel from Flatbush, Papatoetoe and surrounding Auckland suburbs for the attentive, detail-focused service regulars describe as the best eyebrow and facial work they have found.
Menuka Hair and Beauty: Affordable Women's Salon in Papatoetoe for Threading, Facials and Hair
On Kimpton Road in Papatoetoe, serving Flatbush and the surrounding Auckland suburbs, Menuka Hair and Beauty has been looking after local women since June 2020. It is a small salon by design — the kind of place where one pair of attentive hands can do your brows, your colour and your occasion makeup, and where the philosophy is spelled out plainly: your satisfaction is their commitment. The salon's own tagline, making you feel your best at an affordable price, is the thread that runs through everything on the service list.
A full service menu under one roof
What stands out first is the breadth of the menu. On the hair side there are straight and style cuts, shampoo and blow-dry, touch-up colour, full hair colour, per-foil highlights, GHD straightening, permanent straightening and a 30-minute hair oil massage for anyone who wants to simply sit back and be looked after.
Skin care gets its own ladder, running from a quick Express facial up through Gold, Pearl and Diamond treatments, with dedicated Pimple Care and Pigments Care facials for specific concerns. Face and full back bleach and a back polish sit alongside them.
Then come the hair removal options: waxing from brows, lip and chin through full arms, full legs, bikini line, Brazilian, full back and even full body, plus threading for brows, upper lip, chin, forehead and sides. Eyebrow and eyelash tinting sharpen the results, makeup is available for special occasions, and henna tattoos are offered by appointment.
Brows and facials are the showstoppers
Every salon has the services its regulars swear by, and at Menuka the verdict from long-time clients is unambiguous. One client who has been visiting for over a year puts it this way: "Menuka is AMAZING. She's literally the best at doing eyebrows and facials. But also does hair and makeup... She always listens to what you want and executes it, great attention to detail."
That listening is the quiet differentiator. The salon's work is documented in a client photo gallery on its website and on its Instagram and Facebook pages, so newcomers can see the results before they book — brows, colour, facials and occasion looks included.
Small salon, personal experience
Because Menuka is a women-only salon, the space keeps an intimate, unhurried feel that larger shops struggle to replicate. Appointments are welcome and given priority, so the best move is to call or message ahead — the salon is reachable on both a mobile and a landline, and takes enquiries through its contact page and social channels.
The hours are generous for a small salon: doors are open 10am to 7pm every day, Friday through Thursday, which makes it easy to slot a brow tidy after work or a longer facial or colour appointment on a weekend without rearranging your week.
Whether you need ten minutes of threading, a permanent straightening treatment, a Diamond facial before a big event or full makeup for a special occasion, the promise is the same as it was when the salon opened in June 2020: quality service at a reasonable price, and you leaving feeling your best.
