European Wax Center

I had been a loyal costumer of Uni-​K Wax, but I have not been happy with their customer service or waxing techs lately so decided to try European Waxing Center (EWC).
When I arrived at EWC, I was greeted by two enthusiastic front desk admins. I I immediately felt at home. I waited less than three minutes before Martha, a EWC «waxing goddess» came to whisk me away. The facility itself is adorable and I didn’t feel like I was in a medical office. Martha was chatty, which I loved because I need a distraction during Brazilian Bikini waxes. (Otherwise, I end up concentrating on the pain). Hair removal took less than 15 minutes and was not as painful as I thought it would be. Uni-​K claims it uses «the most gentlest wax available on the market», but I have to disagree. The wax used at EWC was so gentle and when Martha pulled off the hair it did not feel like my skin was also being ripped off.
When I checked out, I received a great discount. The girl at the front desk mentioned packages, which I always find off-​putting but as a New Yorker I’m used to. After all, every spa I ever visited has tried to push packages and products at me. (Note: many have lost my patronage). However, I was happy with my overall experience and can’t wait to return for my next appointment.
Bonus: Conveniently located near a subway station!

I’ve been here a few different times after I needed to return to waxing after I threaded my eyebrows too thin. It’s a pretty average place. Nothing wrong with it but nothing super about this place either.
Overall, I’ve had pleasant experiences here. I usually have the habit of having my skin ripped a little in the winter due to dryer skin but that’s never happened here which is good.
The only thing is the constant questioning of why I do not have a package and even when I have explicitly explained why I do not have one and that I’d prefer not to have one they still persist. It’s just annoying.

I have been to this location for two sessions of Brazilian waxing and it was such a great experience. i worked with amber she is awesome and such a professional. i felt like i was having my lunch break with a friend. i keep going back because the results are amazing. the whole staff is friendly and the place itself is very clean and makes you feel like you are a celebrity. If you want to walk out feeling like a million bucks then go here for sure.

I got a gel mani and regular pedi with Young yesterday; my first time trying this salon and I loves it! Although they work efficiently, they do a thorough job and I didn’t feel rushed at all. The staff was very sweet and i was so relaxed when i left. They even have a neat rewards program where you get loyalty points towards a service for every dollar you spend! I will definitely be returning to these knowledgeable ladies and recommend you do the same

I have waxed in a few places and out of all the businesses I feel European Wax Center is the best. All the ladies are kind. I usually go for the brazilian wax and the wax they use really does make it less painful than anywhere else I have visited. It is pricey, but it is worth it.

LOVE!!! This was my first time here and it was a great experience… i would def recommend this to someone

Anne is great. She was quick and easy to talk to. I was pleased with my Brazilian.

Not so friendly. Also forgot to apply a discount coupon I had even though I reminded them twice.

This review has been in the works for a while. I havent had the chance to write one so here we go. I did my research and made my appointment with Steffani, everyone raved that she is quick and good at what she does. I love Steffani! My first time she walked me through the process and kept distracting me by talking to me how to exfoliate and take care of the area. The pain wasnt bad at all, with waxing you will feel some pain, but with the hard wax that they use its comfortable. I’ve been going to Steffani now for months! not only is she my wax lady but she is also my therapist. I get my brazilians every 4 weeks, as soon as i am done with my appointment i literally feel like im on the runway strutting my way down the catwalk. I definitely recommend Steffani and European Wax Center. They know what their doing and they make you feel great about yourself. I will be waxing all year long: D

Best bikini wax ever. Didn’t hurt the person I had was outstanding. Ask for ann. She walked me thru the whole process and actually made the pain much less. Very clean and best of all no strips or dipping sticks. Very nice staff and from now on the place I’ll always go!!!

I made an appointment bc my girlfriend told me that European wax center uses hard wax and it is not as painful as regular soft wax.
I was super nervous went in for a Brazilian and eyebrows. Lia was my wax specialist, she started on my eyebrows and I was so happy. They look amazing!
Next was the Brazilian and I was already sweating. But She was patient with me and very informative. I had a great experience with her and would totally come back again.

I had a great experience with Lia. It was my first time and I was nervous. Lia was very professional. I would def go back.

So… Its been years since getting a Brazilian and I remember the last time I did how much it hurt and I bled. So needless to say I was super nervous! A girlfriend of mine had recommended EWC on 57^th and said Lia did a great job and was super gentle. So I made an appt. Long story short… Legit BEST WAX I’ve ever had!!!
EWC uses a different kind of wax — like a hard wax, and Lia helped me stay calm and did an amazing job! I couldn’t be happier! Thanks Lia!

Nadia is a godsend! Seriously. She knows what she’s doing and makes the experience that much less painful. Highly recommend her if you’re in need of grooming your lady parts.
My situation is situated thanks to her. Thanks Nadia!

Wax Virgin and I decided to get a Brazilian ! Great intro right ?!
Well it wasn’t as bad as it sounds ! Anne was great with me, coached me through all the steps !! Introduced me to all their products and was very gentle and I loved the results, gave me tips on how to keep my area soft and prep it for my next wax.
The end is all about up selling I was a bit bombarded by their products but I actually wanted to purchase them ! Their exfoliator (most expensive item) is amazing for any part of the body and as a first timer you get 20% off which is great!
I definitely recommend EWC to anyone wanting to get any kind of wax !

Love this place! The staff is awesome and Faiza is the best, she knows exactly what she is doing, she is quick and gets the job the done! I do not see anyone but Faiza for my wax!

From the minute you walk in the door you start having a good experience. The costumer service in this location is excellent!!! The girls in the front are very welcoming. Tiffany is one of the girls in the front and she is very knowlogeble and patient when explaining the services. I am totally hooked on this type of wax. It feels completely different from other waxes I have done before, there is no skin burning sensation after your done.
The waxer’s are all very professional and walk you thru the entire process. Because of my schedule I am not able to see the same waxer and I have no complains… Stephanie, Yari, Christina to name a few have all given me wonderful service and have all made me feel very comfortable during my visits… I would totally recommend European wax center in Columbus circle you won’t regret it…

I come here every so often to get wax. I was scared to get my first Brazilian wax but the specialist Steffani calmed me down through the procedure. She was very patient and was very quick. Awesome! She made me feel very comfortable and gave me excellent service. I also recommend Katie she ended up fixing my eyebrows which were in horrible conditions. She guided me in telling me in how I could let my eyebrows grow out and she ended up fixing my eyebrows which I get constantly complimented on. I trust these two specialist with my eyebrows and body wax and I cannot say that about just anybody.
I highly recommend you ask for either of these two ladies!

Late review — Actual Service was received in May 2014
So I usually go to the European Wax Center in NJ but because I was going on vacation I needed to go to a EWC that I could fit into my tight schedule. They were very accommodating as far as last minute appointments go. I forgot to check Unilocal so I didn’t see who the most recommended person was but I THOUGHT all centers should offer the same level of service and should have the same wax skills… unfortunately that was not the case. Faiza did my wax and it was painful never have I experienced that at EWC and my eyebrows barely looked like anything was done to them. It was a waste of my time and money. EWC is usually good but I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this location… I do not plan to visit this location again. Please train your employees on proper EWC techniques.

I’ve had 2 Brazilian waxes beside the full bikini wax (almost the same) I had here. I have to say that they do an AMAZING job! The hard wax was great, the technique they use makes the difference! I really felt like this was as good as it could get in terms of pain.
My prior experiences were at a hair salon and a eyebrow threading shop. You can definitely tell the difference between going somewhere where they wax as a side thing and somewhere where they are professionals at it! HUGE difference.
Monica did my bikini wax, she was great! I would recommend her! She was gentle, informative and very quick!
