European Wax Center

From the moment I walked through the door. The staff was amazing. They greeted me and there is never a wait. My session begins as soon I arrive. I would highly recommend Roni, Loren, or Martha! They helped me felt relaxed during my session, also are very informative. They recommend a lot of great products to keep my skin feeling great! I continue to use these products and even my friends. Thank You Amazing Staff of European Wax Center of TriBeCa! You guys are amazing! Keep up the great work!

I really wish they did a better job of training because I’ve gone to this location twice as well as two others and it’s been hit or miss. I just finished with Melissa getting a Brazilian and although she was very nice, when I got home to inspect, there was a large section she missed in a very hard to reach spot and it really looks like an amateur did it who couldn’t make a straight line. It was also much more painful than previous times. I really don’t know if I’ll continue to go to EWC bc the quality is not standard. Really disappointed.
Update:
Was called after this review and offered a free touch up. Really appreciate it and Essence did a great job. Thanks!

My experience here was fine. Not bad, not great, just satisfactory.
The woman that did my bikini wax was very nice and did a great job. She didn’t, however, leave the room while I took my pants off. I thought that was a bit strange, but I’m not really shy, so it was fine. The wax itself was almost completely painless, except for one piece a little further in that stung a little. She encouraged me to speak up if I was at all uncomfortable while she tweezed any extra hairs. She also walked me through the process while she did the procedure.
The wax came out great, and the place was very sanitary. The room was very neat, no hairs anywhere, no wax drippings, and no double dipping. What I did not appreciate, was how much they try to sell their products. The woman that did my wax grabbed some sort of ingrown hair serum off a shelf, told she she highly recommends it, then walked right over to the counter and put it down next to the woman at the cashier, and the cashier proceeded to scan it, all without even asking me! I’m a broke college student! I have no money, which is why I’m here for a free bikini wax! I bet the serum is very nice, but I never said I wanted it, and even if I did, I don’t have the money for it! When I told the woman at the counter that I’d rather not buy it, she kind of had an attitude. She then asked me THREE times if I wanted to buy their «wax pass». It was just too much pressure.
The wax itself was good, but the experience and service weren’t great. I know that the wax is normally $ 38, and I don’t think it’s worth it. I appreciate the free trial wax (it was my first time at EWC), but there is much better.

Worst location I have gone to. When I called to make my appointment the lady on phone wasn’t listening and was chatting I had to keep repeating myself. She didn’t know what she was doing.
Wax itself — underarms came out bad. She went over them with wax 4 times! This should never happen. She then said oh I will tweeze them if we have time. Excuse me? Was that a joke? I will not come back here.

I loved Ronie she was historical. She made me forget about the pain. She also had me on after care routine that helped me with my ingrowns. Love Ewc.

Jasmine is the best! I’ve been going to her for almost a year now, before her I was struggling to find a good specialist. She is really good at what she does, super nice and professional. She made the process as painless as it could be. I love her and would recommend her to anyone!

European Wax Center was a more pleasant experience than I thought it would be! I have been getting my eyebrows done at the Anastasia Brow Studio (ABS) at Sephora since I moved to NYC and have loved the experience there. They are truly artful with their work. However, due to time restrictions and a few other incidents, I wanted to try a new place to get my brows done.
I came across EWC (European Wax Center) through Unilocal and decided to try it out. I booked an appointment online after making an account which was super convenient.
You MUST be on time for the appointment. If you are a few minutes late, definitely call because if you are more than 9 minutes late you will be rescheduled. After being late 3 times, I believe EWC said you will be refused service for 6 months.
With that being said, I arrived on time and the walk-​in area was very tasteful, clean, and elegant. What I liked most about the experience was the fact that you are taken into a private room for waxing (something that was not done at ABS in Sephora – there you just sat in a chair in the middle of the store). This is great if you plan on getting more intimate parts waxed.
The rooms have a great scent, they use hot wax and as it hardens they pull it off the skin and then tweeze/​trim any remaining hairs.
Overall, it is a great waxing place to get your brows and any other parts done. Great for men and women. Love the privacy of a separate room and and online booking (beware you have to call to modify/​cancel apt).
The only «take» that took out one star was the fact that I was so used to ABS treating eyebrow grooming like an art. Their waxing process is more gentle and they use some brow fillers/​highlight for a finishing touch (would make sense as ABS is also a large makeup brand and it IS in Sephora). The Sephora location was $ 32 tip included, European wax center charged $ 20 and tip recommended is around $ 3. I definitely loved EWC and will for sure go back to get my brows done.
TIPS: If it’s your first time at the waxing center, bring ID and make your apt online, your first waxing is free!

Go see Melissa! Went today for the first time and it was amazing. The facility was very clean and beautiful. The Receptionist was really kind and professional.
Melissa was soooo sweet, made me feel comfortable. She answered all my concerns. The process was painless I was SHOCKED. They use a special wax that doesn’t stick to your skin which makes it painless. No wax residue afterwards. Anyways, go see her!
Oh and it’s half off your first wax there :)

Andrea is amazing!!! It was almost completely painless. She got every single hair and gave me a lot of tips to deal with pain.

I came in as a walk in right before my bootcamp session and was assigned to Jasmine. IT WAS GOD SEND!!! Meant to be. It had been quite some time after my last session and I kid you not I felt no PAIN! Three strips and done! I have been getting waxed for 10 years now and have never met anyone confident in there skill that left me at ease. Ask for Jasmine I promise you will not be disappointed!

Went to European Wax Center for the first time a few days ago and my experience was nothing but phenomenal! I had Lorene and from the moment I went into the room to when I left she was sweet and made me feel comfortable. I was very nervous since it was my first waxing in years, but she made me forget about the pain by talking and joking around with me. The facility is very clean and orginized By far the best experience I’ve had and will be recommending this location and Lorene to all of my friends!

This review is for Jasmine and the eyebrow wax of your dreams.
Working in the FiDi, you want a place where you can get in and out quickly. I had been getting my eyebrows waxed at random nail salons, until the last bad wax where I left unhappy and FINALLY convinced that «you get what you pay for». My sister recommended the EWC on Chambers St., as it’s feasible to walk there from my office on Water Street, get waxed, and be back at my desk in the requisite hour.
I got Jasmine by accident, as she was the one with the time slot I wanted, and I’ve never looked back. She started by asking me if I liked the natural shape of my eyebrows, something I’ve never been asked before. I said I did, and she went from there.
Now my eyebrows are always on fleek (did I miss the boat on that expression?). Jasmine leaves my brows looking exactly how I like and she’s really really sweet to boot. I also waxed my underarms with her for the first time and I’m never going back to the razor!
Random pluses: your 1^st wax is free, and you can buy packages that essentially save you a service or two pretty quickly.

First time there and I had a great experience. The girl at reception was lovely. No penalties for changing your appointment AND first timers get 50% off the service. Jasmine was awesome. All in all, profession and painless.

So today I had the opportunity to experience the nail boutique experience I must say I was totally relaxed after a stressful week at work the service was outstanding thanks to sunny for my wonderful mani and pedi I’ll be back soon this is Brooklyn’s best kept secret

I recently visited European Wax Center for a full Brazilian wax and had a great experience! Essence is AWESOME. She was super sweet and made me feel really comfortable during the appointment. The facilities were also very clean and organized. I will definitely be coming back to this location again :)

Ask for Jasmine! I have been getting full Brazilians for years, and she is the best wax specialist I have met. She’s so friendly and sweet and makes your experience feel incredibly comfortable — like you’re grabbing a drink with a friend during happy hour rather than stripping down and getting all your pubes torn off. I look forward to my appointments and leave feeling sexy and happy.
Sometimes I have to wait on hold for a long time when I make calls, which can be annoying, but I’ve always had excellent service at this location. (I haven’t had the same luck with customer service at the UWS location, unfortunately).
If you go, ask for Jasmine. She is the absolute best!

I’m fairly new to waxing (have been to 1 or 2 random establishments in soho and to uni k a couple of times) and can’t tell you how wonderful EWC is. I loved it so much my first two visits that I ended up purchasing a package. The entire staff is so friendly and professional and the hard wax they utilize barely hurts (and I’m a huge wuss).
I want to give a special shout out to my girl, Jasmine. She’s so sweet and makes the process almost painless. She has this way of making you feel extremely comfortable and tells you to take a deep breath each time before she rips the strip off (sounds lovely, doesn’t it?!). She’s also able to make conversation and shoot the sh*t about anything that almost makes you forget you’re even getting waxed. Love her and so happy I found the best waxing establishment in NYC. Lucky for me, they’re located everywhere ;)

I have been having waxes for over 2 years with 0 shaving. I am only in NY for a few months and have been looking for somewhere that compares to Andreas in Atlanta, where I am from. When I came here the service was nice but the two things that made me give the review 2 stars:
1. There was left over hair. A Brazilian means BARE — NOTHING. But there was still a considerable amount of hair. Like patches, not a stray or two.
2. Both the waxer and the receptionist pushed pretty hard for me to buy their products, which i politely declined. But would ask again after I said no.
All in all, service was good, but I was shocked that shit chain didn’t take their wax seriously.

I usually go some where else for my Brazilian but tried here as a recommendation from a friend. Receptionist was kind & very professional. No moving ppl in and out like Cattle.
My waxer was Nadine and she is AMAZING! She’s my new best friend. I was a little worried about the pain because I’ve been slacking (TMI). It was over before I new it. Pain? What pain?
Needless to say Nadine & I have a standard 5 week appointment I won’t be missing!
PS. 50% off for 1^st time customers. ;-)

I just saw Maggie at the European Wax Center at Chambers St. I loved her! She was so nice and explained to me what the process was for a Brazilian they do here and it wasn’t as painful as I thought. I rescheduled my next visit with her but the whole place looks clean and neat and other guests in the lobby said they like the people the go to here.
One lady I sat next to says she has seen several different waxers and they all do a great job.
Tabaya at the front desk was helpful letting me know about saving money with a package. Couldn’t do it this time, but will def look into it science it’s pretty significant savings.
