European Wax Center

This location is nice, but I prefer the Roseville one.

Really easy to get an appt, fast, and great consultation. The brow wax didn’t even hurt!

I have been here twice, and although my second visit was disappointing, I will likely make another appointment due to the «thumbs up» items listed below.
My first experience was very different from my second. When I made my first appointment, I was a bit nervous, but my technician put me at ease by holding a conversation the entire time and explaining what she was doing. She also provided suggestions for post-​appointment care. I was in and out in about 25 minutes. The store advertises a free wax for new customers, but this was never offered to me before, during, or after my appointment (thumbs down). Maybe this is something you have to ask them directly? Following my wax, the receptionist explained different packages, which I declined. I did make another appointment though. Six weeks later I had my second appointment for the same waxing service with the same technician. This time I was in and out in just ten minutes. When I got home I realized how poorly it was done and how irritated my skin was compared to my first visit. I needed to clean up her work on my own at home.
Thumbs up: Clean, relatively inexpensive, easy to make an appointment and at convenient times, friendly technician, far less pain than I’ve had at other salons (apparently it is the type of wax used)
Thumbs down: Bright, sterile rooms that are not warm and inviting (think doctor’s office over spa), inconsistent quality of service

Ok, this whole waxing thing, pretty crazy. However, Margot, at the Minnetonka location made the whole experience amazing! From the second I walked into the place, and now, several visits later, I’m fully committed to this waxing thing.
This is NOT something you want to run around having several different people wax you. Me, I found Margot. You, if you’re a thinking person, you will do the same!!!

For the price you pay to get the waxing done here, these people are really the pros for sure! I love that we finally have a place that is quick and easy.
Everytime I have gone, I have been in and out with full satisfaction within 15 minutes (including any wait time!).
Its worth a checking out just for the fact that you get a free wax your first time. And if you want to use my name as a referral, I wouldn’t mind :)

I made a last minute lunch time appointment and they were able to accomodate me. The wax specialist was helpful and gentle. My eyebrows look much tamer and cleaner and that’s exactly why I went. Generally pretty painless experience. They didn’t try too hard to sell me on anything and appreciate that. Used a $ 5 off coupon to get my wax for $ 11.

I had such a great experience at European Wax Center when I went in for my free eyebrow wax. All I had to do to get the free wax was to bring in proof of residency (a piece of mail works fine)! I was able to get an appointment the same day I called. The girls at the desk were welcoming and sweet, and my waxer (Katie) was an absolute doll. They use beeswax wax so it doesn’t hurt like traditional wax does, and Katie did a fantastic job shaping my brows. I’ll be back!

New to the area I simply Googled waxing in the Minnetonka area and European Wax Center came up. I called ahead and asked a lot of questions about the kind of wax they use, pricing and appointments and the receptionist was very helpful and knowledgeable. I made an appointment for that evening with Margot. Since it was my first time here I was offered a free brow wax (with proof of Minneapolis residency, which I did not have on me at the time, but she noted that my next time with proof I could redeem). Margot was professional and made me feel at ease while still informing me of what she was doing. Pricing was great! The salon is elegant, simple and clean. I made an appointment before I left the center to come back again in a month. Would recommend after a great first time experience.

As a dudebro kind of guy, the whole personal grooming thing is a sensitive topic. I was heading to the Caribbean for vacation and wanted to spare fellow vacationers from my hairy back. Up until finding EWC from a google search, I had no idea where to go in the metro area. I’m not a salon/​spa kind of guy.
I called European Wax Center at 11:30 and the nice guy at the front desk was able to make a reservation for fifteen minutes later, at 11:45. Because this was my first time at the salon, I got my choice of a free nose wax, eyerbrow wax or ear wax with my paid service. I didn’t even know nose waxing was a thing.
The salon is very clean and contemporary. Katie, my assigned esthetician, was very friendly and made me feel at ease during the service. We joked about that scene from the 40 Year Old Virgin where Steve Carrell gets his back waxed. I’m sure she gets that ALL the time, but was a very good sport about it. The waxing (nose/​back) didn’t hurt at all.
This was my first waxing experience. I’m glad I found this place. Other salons in the area start at $ 50 for a back wax, and my total price was more than half that cost at $ 24. Great deal, friendly staff, and excellent work. Not that I’d ever wish for more back hair, but when it does come, I’ll definitely be coming back here.

Took advantage of their first-​time free waxing promotion and chose to have my eyebrow waxed. Was able to get an appointment within a few days of calling.
Impressed when I walked in that everything looked bright and clean. My appointment started on time and was escorted back to a private room (I think there were 6 private rooms)
My «wax specialist» was Cassie and she was very friendly and explained the whole four step process for hair removal.
The room was VERY bright and Cassie had me lay down on a hard leather table with a thin paper sheet separating me from the table.
The hard wax (beeswax) was less painful to me than a traditional waxing that I had in the past.
Didn’t get a huge sales pitch at the end… but was shown the packages that they do offer. Didn’t feel presured… but did make a future appointment.
Will come back… but highly suggest they make the rooms more «spa» like such as dimmer lighting and more comfortable tables — with blankets.
