European Wax Center

I was visiting this location pretty frequently up until a few years ago when I, apparently, suffered from amnesia and forgot it existed.
Moving on… I remembered it the other day when I desperately needed a wax (location unspecified)…
I cannot say enough good things about this place. It’s always ship shape, tidy, clean, and whether I have an appointment or just walk in, I am ALWAYS greeted with a smile and cared for quickly!
I made an appointment online, arrived, the lady at the counter realized that I was at the wrong location (apparently there is a new shop in central Ballantyne and I showed up at the Blakeney location)… oops! She promptly called the other location to sort out the issue, got me taken care of, handed me off to a waxing tech, and snickety-​snack! I was waxed hairless and sent on my way!
The wax they use is strip/​fabric free… its much easier on the skin (a good thing as mine is sensitive)… there’s not much more to say… Clean place, friendly people, good products, successful wax, and fair prices. You could do worse!

Wonderful, prompt, service. I actually look forward to going — the results are amazing! I’ve been a regular for about a year now. The products really do make a difference. Professional service from the minute you hit the door until you are checked out. They have actually found a way to make THIS a pleasant experience!

I have been going to EWC for several months, and I’m impressed with their service. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful, while the technicians are professional, personable and punctual. The establishment is very clean. I would recommend EWC at Blakeney highly!

Really loved this wax experience. Not your ordinary wax that they use in nail salon. much better. Took advantage of the first wax free offer. Loved the way it came out that I made an appointment the same week for my lower legs! I was very impressed with Casey, she was excellent & super professional. NOw i know why my 2 teenage daughters loved it here… Chic looking place too. GIve it a try for sure.

I have a going to European wax center for three years. Casey is great… She’s very thorough and takes her time. I always have a great experience.

I found this waxing center based on a recommendation from a friend and I will never go anywhere else. I have had some horrible experiences with waxing and never had a bad one here. Casey is amazing and it is always a good experience.

I love this place! They use a hard wax that doesn’t stick to your skin, so I don’t have to go home and wash my face after getting my brows done! Everyone I’ve dealt with here has been very nice, and my brows always look great. So glad I found them here on Unilocal

Fastest Brazilian wax I ever gotten! Awesome! All of The girls have great technique and are very professional. Plus they took me as a walk in right away Very friendly staff, and the place always looks amazing! This is a 5 stars from me!

Had a great experience with Veronica! Hair removal doesn’t hurt a d she took her time!

I’m giving EWC three stars because the Esthetician does the job just fine and it’s the first place I’ve been to where it doesn’t hurt to get a bikini wax. Some of the front desk receptionists are definitely lacking in warmth and could use to maybe smile or be a bit more friendly or welcoming. My first visit there, I had my eyebrows and bikini waxed. My eyebrows were waxed WAY too thin. I’ll never have them wax them again. I’m growing them out and just waiting until I go back to California I have my normal gal shape them. I’ve since gone back, but only for bikini waxes. My bikini waxes are what I’m looking for — sanitary, quick, painless and done properly. I haven’t had any ingrowns or issues. I’ve been to other salons — some shady places and some luxury spas. Frankly, when I’m getting my bikini waxed, I just want it done properly and to get in and out quickly. I don’t need tea or a foot rub after having my bikini waxed. I usually try to get waxed a few days before I go to the spa anyway. I don’t like to mess with the calm and relaxation I feel at a day spa by getting a bikini wax the same day! The Esthetician I see at EWC is also really sweet and does a good job. My first visit, they did try to sell me on some products but I just explained that I’m pretty set on my régime and the products I’m already using and they didn’t pressure me further. As far as trying to sell me on a membership, the receptionist just showed me the membership options after my first visit and I declined. No pressure after that and I’ve never been asked again. I haven’t had a bad experience with getting my bikini waxed so I’ll keep going back for that service.

First time is just ok little rush second visit i get lots of ingrown hair in my legs. For the price you still can find some better technician. I felt lot pressure to purchase products and more. The price is moderate i did not recommend

I decided at the last minute that I needed a bikini wax prior to going on a tropical vacay. Since it was last minute, I could not get an appointment at the normal salon I use, so I decided to check out the European Wax Center at Blakeney. I was able to get an appointment time that worked for me with almost no advance notice.
When I arrived for my appointment, there was no wait time, which was nice. The facilities were clean and the employees that I came in contact with were courteous.
However, it was a bit awkward for me as the esthetician just stood there as I got ready for the treatment. My experience in other higher end salons is that they often give you a moment of privacy to get situated and relax before they step back into the room for the treatment. Oh well, not a big deal, I just got over it and moved on with it.
So, before she starts, she asks if I want a Brazilian instead of a Bikini wax. I tell her, no, I am just looking for a bikini line wax. But after she gets started, she sort of goes crazy taking off way more hair than I think is normal for a regular bikini line wax. (I guess I ended up with a Full Bikini wax instead, which is not what I had asked for.)
Overall, I think she did a pretty good job with regards to technique, because I didn’t see any spots that she missed. However, I wasn’t really thrilled that so much area was waxed.
The wax itself seemed to be pretty good. For me it still hurts, but I think she did an ok job with removing the wax at the right time — not too soon, and not too late. (She didn’t rip any skin or any other horrible thing like that.)
However, I still haven’t decided if I am going to go back. If I do decide to go back, I am going to be more clear prior to the service about what I want and do not want removed.
Overall it was ok, but not the very best waxing experience that I have ever had.
As other reviewers mentioned, they do like to push product on you — I ended up walking out with a $ 20 bottle of ingrown hair serum… which I am sad to report, really didn’t work so well for me.
They did also tell me about buying some sort of «package deal», but thankfully they didn’t hound me about it.

I visited European Wax Center for the first time today and was very disappointed. I felt a lot of pressure to purchase products, buy a membership, refer friends, etc. — before I even had my wax! The technician seemed very rushed and also tried to push products on me. Overall a disappointing experience. I will not be returning.
