European Wax Center

After trying 3 different waxers at this location I finally found someone to stick with. Monique is simply amazing! She is super quick and with her, I’ve honestly felt the least amount of pain.

Kristen waxed my eyebrows. Painless! And she didn’t take off too much. The brand of wax they use is special only to the European Wax company and it is almost painless when doing my eyebrows. I was a new customer and they did my wax for free. I did tip them. They do kind of press you to rebook as soon as your appt is done, which feels kind of pushy to me, but they do not bind you with credit card, so at least that is good. I took a job in Chicago, so I will have to try EWC for my waxes. I will miss my Shobhaa, but it is time to diversify my waxing centers.

The front desk is hit or miss, but Brenda is the most amazing technician! So incredibly warm, friendly, and gentle. Waxing is never fun, but she makes the service so much better… Almost completely pain-​free! I trust no one else but her. Once there was a mix-​up with my schedule (which the front desk made no apologies over) and I got stuck with someone named Teresa. Completely night and day experience from being with Brenda! She barely said hello and just threw the wax on and proceeded to rip it off. Ouch! I was livid. Neverrrr again.
5+ stars for Brenda, 3 stars for everything else.

I’m 7.5 months pregnant and as sensitive as you can get and Jessica made my full bikini wax smooth, fast and painless. I’ve been terrified to get this wax for weeks but had to do it and could not have been happier with the experience. She was super friendly, nurturing and clearly and expert in her technique as it didn’t hurt a bit. I would highly recommend Jessica and will be returning regularly to see her.

It took me two years of living in NYC to find Dina and I feel so lucky. The entire time she is doing my Brazilian I’m just like «why doesn’t it hurt! What sorcery is this?!» It seriously DOES NOT HURT. I don’t understand. But I’m okay with it. And as for hairs being left behind as in other reviews: I prefer a few very thin, short hairs left behind than any ingrowns from aggravating the skin. Thank you Dina! I also recommend getting a series (pay for X amount up front but get x+1 waxes to use that don’t expire) if you are a regular waxer. It’s worth it and easy, but remember to bring cash for tip if you do get a series.

Overall the experience was great. I felt comfortable and whatnot. But I take pride in my thick eyebrows. I told the woman doing my eyebrows to KEEP THE SHAPE AND THICKNESS. I just wanted the few strays to go. I came out feeling like it was my best eyebrow waxing experience ever. However after washing my face… she PENCILED THEM IN. They are the thinnest they’ve ever been. She clearly messed up and tried to cover her tracks. Very very disappointed.

Love love love Monique like all of the reviews said! Nothing more to write. She’s awesome! People that greeted me were very nice. I’ll be back for sure :)

Monique is amazing! I’ve been going to European wax center for a few years now for bikini waxes and out of all the waxers I’ve had Monique is by far the best! She does it quick & painless just how I like it ;)

I’ve been a loyal customer for over a year and love this location. I’ve tried a few of the other girls and I must say, Monique is simply the best! She’s efficient and super fast. She’s really knows what she’s doing I wouldn’t go to anyone else my skins amazing and I love her!

Soooo. My friend kept telling me about this place and after being SICK of shaving and getting ingrowns, I finally decided that im an adult and i deserve a great looking pum.
Anyways! I read the reviews and they had me a little uneasy especially cause it was my first time and I know that I’m a person that likes to ask questions. The things that stuck out to me the most were that people had hairs left behind and the front desk person was mean.
The front desk lady was nice! She was very professional and really easy to ask questions too. btw it was so easy to set up an appointment i did it at 8am on the website and my appointment was at 10am. (Btw i was out by 10:20 AM, and it was only cause i asked a BILLION questions)
Monique was my GIRL! She was so sweet and she really knows what shes doing most of my pain came from me freaking out at the first rip but once she calmed me down I definitely started to relax.
The next thing I kept reading was the hairs left behind, Monique explained to me that you basically can’t aggravate the skin too much so sometimes they have to leave the hair. Wish honestly makes so much sense! Especially when its your first time.
I got the products the recommended because i really have a problem with ingrowns and my friend is an advid user and never has them since using it and because Monique really took the time to explain everything that it was used for and did a demo on me.
I already have my appointment sent for the next time! Oh and for first timers it doesn’t hurt anymore than an eyebrow wax honestly. Have fun!

I really loved Ronie she’s hilarious she actually made me forget about the pain. The location is really clean and everyone is so nice.

Great experience. The waxers are nice. They work fast and efficiently. I’ve only gone for Brazilians so I can’t really comment on anything else. Checkin and check out is a breeze. They try to push the products that can be a little annoying but hey that’s their job.

I’m obsessed with this place! They are very professional and kind. The pricing is pretty decent for the best and most painless wax I’ve ever had. Stephanie is my favorite! She is quick and efficient and, and her waxes are somehow painless!!! I go regularly and always get the package, highly recommended!

I love this location! It’s always clean, not too crowded and extremely welcoming.
I think I’ve probably had about half of the estheticians because my schedule is far from consistent. These ladies are always sweet, professional and very accommodating. I’ve been waxing for more than two years now yet each time feels like the second! Ten minutes post overreacting and I’m done, out the door and feeling brand new. Some estheticians are better than others but that’s typical with any place… there’s no significant difference. At this rate, I’ll never stop renewing my wax passes!

This place is awesome! Made a same day evening appointment on a Friday with no hassles. Showed up for my appointment and was greeted by a very nice gentleman who informed my friend and I that both our waxes (full Brazilians) would be half off since we were first-​timers #score. I didn’t specify my waxer upon booking, but I had an amazing experience with Tamika. She was nice, quick, attentive, did breathing exercises with me and was all in all an amazing aesthetician. Hundred acre woods no more! Highly recommend this place and Tamika!

5 stars for Monique. 1 star for front desk staff.
I went to Monique for a Brazilian and she was great. She has a good technique and is pleasant to talk to. I didn’t love how she tried to sell me products and then proceeded to bring them to the register but oh well, I just told the front desk person I did not want them.
The lady at the front desk was really rude. I asked about my wax being free since the website advertises your first wax is free but she said that was only for eyebrows and underarms. This should be clarified in advance. Then I asked her for an envelope for the tip and she rudely rolled her eyes to where they were. Like sorry it’s my first time here.
Anyway, don’t expect great customer service from the front desk but if you want a good wax, Monique is your girl.

Brenda is my girl. We’re going on two years now, and I’ve been going to this EWC for almost three! I’ve been to a few different ones all over the city, and while this one is most convenient for me, I also really only trust Brenda. YOU CAN’T GO WRONG WITH HER.
she’s very careful and listens to what you want, (though at this point she knows me well enough), and made me feel comfortable from the start. if you make an appointment with Brenda, you’ll be spotless when you leave.
(the front desk, like other reviewers mentioned, aren’t always pleasant but they do their job and make setting up appts a breeze)

I like coming to this place because it’s fast, cheap and clean and all of the waxing specialists are really friendly. Each time I come, however, I get a sales pitch on one of their products and end up feeling slightly shamed for not using them. The receptionists are surprisingly unfriendly and also do the sales pitch for their packages.
Overall, I would recommend this place but we aware of the upsell every step of the way!

I come here every month. I’m not sure why I don’t check in more often.
EWC is clean and well run. The front office staff is ok. A little attitude-​ish, which I can do without– but nothing which had been really egregious. I see Monique for a Brazilian and underarm wax. She is great, gentle and through. I love that the first time you go your service is discounted. Also they have a package desk that I have finally taken advantage of. Zero complaints.

*** Clean Service, Accommodating Staff, Great Experience ***
I always have such a wonderful experience coming here. Making reservations and changing reservations last minute is always easy to do and the staff is very accommodating. I highly recommend Adrienne who does an amazing job! She is incredibly thorough and so sweet! If there’s anyone you should book an appointment with, it’s her!
