European Wax Center

I have always been happy getting my wax done here. I see different waxers and I like them all. The thing that I don’t like is when I’m waiting for my appointment and they let me know about the wax pass and I decline saying I don’t want to do that. And then after my appointment they tell me again and I decline again and it gets brought up a third time all by the same person that irritates me. I said no three times to the wax pass and she kept bringing it up, that is the only reason I will stop going here is because of the requirements the employees have to meet which I’m sure aren’t easy to meet they pressure the customers and keep asking the same question over and over again. Once I denied it once during that visit don’t continue to ask me the same question or keep bringing it up, I said I wasn’t interested and it should be left at that.

Thought I would try out the place due to the 50% the first service offer.
The waxing was fine, but both times they left wax on me. So when I got home and looked at it, there would be patches of dried wax in places.
I went a total of two times to this location. The staff seems to be so pushy on getting wax passes and booking your next appointment right then and there. They just don’t let you get out of that place. When they do that it really makes me not want to come back. Plus, the front desk lady was kind of being rude to my boyfriend when he was just trying to make conversation as I was paying.
I really love Wax-​Bare, although a few dollars more, it’s a newer business and their staff is so inviting, kind, and easy to talk with.

Melaina was amazing! I was really nervous about my appointment, but she made me feel comfortable right away. They use ac specific type of wax, so the pain was very minimal. And she was so quick! I’m very happy with the results too. Overall, this was a very pleasant experience. I will definitely be returning.

Tiffany did a great job. It was my first time there and she made it very comfortable.

My brows were in a crazy apocolypse! Unilocaled a few spots & came across European Wax Center which had great reviews so I took the plunge and went for it *fingers crossed*
I walked in around 1pm they were completely booked till 3pm so I had to leave and make an appt for then. Receptionist let me know also since it was my first time they do complimentary service! Score! (Not sure if only on brows though)
When I came back before 3 (like they asked since theyre strict on time arrival) the receptionist I believe her name starts with a ‘C’ was very sweet &knowledgeable with the products they offer, passes for friends, etc. Must be very important/​necessary to explain beforehand because when my waxer called me she still continued to explain everything on that pamphlet until she was done… lol *scratches chin*
Chelle was my waxer. Immediately she had a professional approach but still made me feel comfortable. The room was like a Dr’s office & very private. Everytime she waxed she let me see with the mirror if it was ok to my
preference. Idk about others but I appreciate that. Some waxers let you see what they did UNTIL the near end once they pretty much ruined your face & there’s no going back. Yikes!Chelle explained the method & asked if I’d like to have them filled in w/​their brow powder when finished. They use disposable brushes which is a major key to maintain a sanitary environment. Overall it was a pleasant experience. She did a fantastic job & added a cooling cream to my brow area which actually helped to keep my redness down since I do have senstive skin. Would recommend her to anyone & more than likely be back for a different waxing service as well.

My first time here today and I got my Brazilian wax for 50% off! That’s a great deal! I usually wax myself but since I can’t see past this humongous pregnant belly I figured I’ll have someone else help me. Danika did a great job… she missed a few hairs (like 5 ’cause I’m a perfectionist lol) but nothing a tweezer can fix. I loved how she got even the hard-​to-​reach spaces that I usually have a hard time doing myself after all these years lol I had enough to tip her $ 10 because of the discount and I am thinking I might be a returning customer because she made me feel comfortable and the experience was fast and pain free. I was in and out within 30 minutes! The only downside was when I got home I discovered that as a first-​time customer I read that I could have a complimentary eyebrow wax which no one informed me about when I was there. Oh well, I don’t want anyone to mess up my eyebrows like always anyway. But it would be nice if I could get a free brow wax from someone who is good with brows.

My esthetician is Melaina and she’s wonderful. This location is great, close to home and everyone is welcoming, engaging and respectful. Ever since my first waxing session experience, I’ve gone back upon every newly scheduled appointment. It’s something to do for myself and I love the clean feeling after my Brazilian wax. I definitely recommend Melaina to anyone who’s interested in getting their waxing services done.
The employees do attempt to sell you on their products but they don’t push them on you which is a wonderful thing. I understand the key is to attempt to sell but if you feel pushed or pressured into buying a service, that’s where one can become turned off. This is not the case with this location. They will offer you products as options and leave the decision up to you. That’s how any service should be.

This was my first time in, the staff was super friendly and I was out within 15 minutes — and my brows were well done!

My daughter gets her eyebrows shaped by Melaina. She does the best job. She keeps them natural shaped. They always look beautiful! Also the resptionist Jynna is so nice and helpful so sweet! Great group that works here.

I got my eyebrows waxed by Tiffany. I didn’t like the results. I grew my eyebrows out thick and I wanted to get them reshaped. My eyebrows looked the same afterwards. I won’t be returning here.
The ladies are friendly and provided good customer service.
Parking is horrible!

Too pushy, the beautician kept selling me different products (lotion, body wash etc)… i never agreed to buy it, but when i checked out, she took a couple of products to the counter and said to the receptionist that I am buying those… I would not go back again.

Where’d you go, Irene?!? I just received the call that you’re gone, and not that there aren’t other lovely ladies at this location, but you ALWAYS took great care of me and my referrals (especially to make up for bad work done by others). If you read this or anyone else has contact info please let me know! Thank you.

I just got a call that Irene is gone! She is the ONLY waxer I am interested in seeing there as she is the one that cleaned up everyone else’s mess. I am bummed that she is gone and now I will not be returning to European Wax as she was the reason I put up with everything else there. Rude front staff and being scolded like a child when I need to cancel an appointment. I rate her 5 stars but the company is a soft 3, I’m being generous.
I am Irenes client not their client. I’ve been seeing her for almost 6 years!!! If anyone finds out where she has gone please email me at
I would greatly appreciate it.
So BUMMED

This place is great. The interior is immaculate and very aesthetically pleasing. They are super professional and even though it’s a bit of a luxury, pretty dang affordable. They offer any wax service you can think of and have a great line of maintenence products as well. If you have never been waxed, don’t be intimidated, call ahead and get all your questions answered and schedule that appointment. The manager Ashley was terrific and I couldn’t ask for better customer service. If you’re scared, ask for Danika. She’s fast, professional and will make you comfortable, trust me!

I feel like this place is long overdue for a good thorough review that proves how much I love this place. I want to put it out there, I’ve been coming here for THREE years. I’ve had the good, the bad, the amazing, the okay. I’ve seen it all from this location.
Parking is wonderful. Nice huge lot located next to Ulta and the same plaza as Best Buy and Vampire Penguin, Old Navy, Bed Bath & Beyond. All that stuff. Bottom line: yay parking.
I’ve had 2 passes I think??? I might be on my third actually which makes the waxing way cheaper. I’ve almost always had good experiences here. Maybe once I had an experience that left my legs crampy because I was a position too long for the waxing I was getting but that was it.
This place definitely has a high turnover for waxers and receptionists. I’ve actually had old high school acquaintances working here at one point. I had one waxer who I loved maybe like a year and a half ago if not 2 years? She was such a sweetheart but she moved down to socal and after that I kind of just hopped around. Most of the waxers I’ve had have been fine, some are most talkative and you click with them some aren’t.
I actually am acquainted with their general manager, who at the time when I met her I believe was a receptionist… I could be wrong. Her name’s Kyleigh-​hopefully I’m spelling that as I remember! She is such a sweetheart and I’m so glad she’s back at this location. We met in a west hollywood location where I got waxed once since I go to school in LA and we clicked because we were both from Sac. It’s hilariously coincidental that she’s running the location that I frequent.
The receptionists have always been nice. The ambiance is nice and comfortable and parking is great. Depending on what service you get prices may be more expensive or you may find better deals. I get Brazilians so coming here is convenient as I can go to any location anywhere and get what I need done.
Overall 5 stars from the past 3 years of service. I’ve had maybe one hiccup that wasn’t bad. But I leave satisfied and happy each and every time, what more can you ask for?

Definitely recommend. Jazmin was great! Prompt, professional and courteous. Comfortable setting. First time customers get 50% off first wax.

Wasn’t really a fan. They’re way too over priced and I didn’t necessarily care for the job the lady did on my eyebrows. They looked exactly the same afterwards.
The establishment looks really nice and professional though, but it doesn’t make up for the outrageous prices and less than good performance.

I called ahead to ask about the wait for walk-​ins, since it was about 8:00pm and most other places were closed; I was welcomed to come in anytime. I’ve driven past this place a million times and never thought twice about it – I actually assumed it was part of the neighboring MassageEnvy company. I was pleasantly impressed by the kindness and enthusiasm of the gal that answered the phone.
I arrived and they took down some of my information. Within 5 – 10 minutes of my late-​evening arrival on a weeknight I was welcomed back by Melaina who escorted me through the hallway to a private room. She invted me to lie down on the bed after she rolled out a clean paper liner, which I LOVED… I know most estheticians are supposed to do this regardless, but sometimes it doesn’t happen. She was extremely sweet and made genuine casual conversation the entire time. I got my eyebrows done, and from beginning to end she explained each product she was using on my face and what it did. She also uses hard wax, which is my preference since it hurts less and is more sanitary. She did an amazing job and I was beyond pleasantly surprised — I have to say the best job I’ve ever had done on my brows!
Before leaving I approached the counter to pay, where I was given more great customer service. Not only was there a promotion for first-​time waxing clients (ask about this! I had no idea, but depending on your service, it can be 50% off or free!!), but they again were very warm and offered to book my future appointment. They did give a small sales pitch on a current deal of buy 9 get 3 free, but never pressured or seemed bitter after I politely declined.
My apprehension after reading the reviews about high turn-​over with employees and inconsistency left me a little skeptical at first, but I wanted to try for myself. I will most definitely be returning to EWC and Melaina, and I’d highly recommend giving this place a shot!

50% OFF ANY SERVICE ON YOUR FIRST-​VISIT!
I use to come to Vanessa at this location, but I believe she’s left and started her own business now, at Wax Bare!
I went on trusty Unilocal to see who I could trust and Irene seemed really promising, so I went ahead and made an appointment with her. I’ve had waxers rush during their busy hours, but Irene took her time and was thorough. She did an awesome job and offered simple skin care tips. I would come back to see her again.
This European Wax Center offers the same great service that other locations have. From their prompt day-​before-​appointment-​reminder calls to the quality wax and sanitary practices, they’re on top of it. HOWEVER, I’ve noticed they’re extremely pushy with the up-​selling of their products at this location. Even after stating no interest in their products, they continue to push products onto you, but hey, it’s their job – it’s understandable.
I prefer my Davis location for my go-​to waxer and less pushy up-​selling. This location is close and convenient for when I can’t get to the Davis EWC.
TIP: Take advantage of the special promotions or package deals, it’s more worth it than paying visit-​by-​visit.
BEWARE: What surprised me is that this location offers a $ 5 credit to your account when you leave a «GOOD review on Unilocal» (verbatim, said by receptionist at the end of my appt with Irene). Thus, be careful because some of the listed reviews may be biased. I wish I was aware of this beforehand as I was sifting thru reviews on Unilocal for who to trust on my service today.

European wax is a cool concept; similar to the Spa Envy but much more affordable. They are more affordable than waxing at spas and much more sanitary than the nail shop. As with many spa type services some employees have better skills than others. The employee turn over is pretty high and just when you get used to and comfortable with your wax specialist they end up leaving. That part I don’t like at all.
The front desk receptionists put a pretty hard sale on you when you are checking out to continue to buy more packages. Probably working on comissions.
They are also very comfortable with having personal conversation in front of you while you are waiting. They are great about calling you to remind you about your appointments.
