European Wax Center

Giving a 5 star for this location. I like the waxers here, plus Davonda is my favorite waxer.

Like all the EWC I have visited, the front desk staff were super nice. The woman (I forgot her name) did an excellent job with my brows. ALSO I called 15 minutes ahead of time and they were able to pencil me in :)

I come here once a month. Everyone is friendly. I always get a call reminder from them the day before. You can’t judge a place just by coming here once. The girls at the front are friendly. It’s not they’re your friend and they have to chit chat with you. You come in and your greeted as usual. At the end, they ask you how was it and book your next appt. Of course if you have questions, they will answer it.
I come to see Victoria and she’s awesome!!! You undress in front of them. It’s not like they ain’t going to see what they’re going to do to you.

Other than it being a tad bit warm inside my visit went very smooth! I’m used to the chill of the A/​C in most EWC! Because of my appointment time I went to this location and had another person that I have never been to, but Davonda was perfect! Very very friendly, very professional & my wax looks amazing! Looked at the time and before you knew it my appointment was over! Will definitely be back to this location for her!

I only come to this location. I usually call ahead to make an appointment and they are very accommodating. When I first started coming here I went with whoever because I felt everyone was great. However, I got my underarms waxed for the first time and Victoria was AMAZING! She was so patient with me and taught me breathing techniques. From that day on Victoria has been my girl. I love how comfortable she makes me feel and how patient she is with me. To anyone who still shaves STOP! Seriously this place is a life changer.

I love love LOVE the front desk ladies at this center. I’m always greeted with a smile and they never fail to make me feel welcome. The center is always kept nice and tidy and if ever I was curious about a product or a promotion that’s going on, they always are happy to answer any of my questions.
RAKSHA! Where do I begin? I had never gotten my Brazilian done before. So I was kind of scared and I told her that. She reassured me that all the fear is in my head. Once we started, it was kind of painful but not as much as I thought it would be. The breathing techniques she did with me really helped! All the pain really was in my head and it wasn’t all that bad. She now does all my other services. Raksha brings my brows back to life after a couple of weeks of having Chewbacca’s brows. Besides being great with all my services, she is a great conversationalist. I only get, like, 15 – 30 minutes with her but it’s never a dull 15 – 30 minutes.
All I can say is that I love this center and its ladies. Keep up the good work!

I highly recommend Kathy!!! I’m not sure if I’m spelling her name correctly, but she’s a great esthetician. Professional and warm, she makes you feel as if you’re catching up with an old friend. She has an incredibly light hand, my Brazilian was painless. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ recommend and will return and request her. Wonderful experience overall! Happy customer

I found this place on a fluke.
They offer Early and Late Appointments.
They also give a discounted price to first timers, so its worth a try.
The Wax is painless!
Your Hair also grows back finer than it was it being some special European wax.
FYI Liz is a pro!
I will be back because they sure made a customer out of me.

The first time I ever came here I had a below average waxer. Danielle was the 3^rd I tried. 3^rd times a charm right? She is amazing. I never leave unhappy. I still can’t get use to it though.

DAVONDA. She is amazing. I don’t know what I would ever do if she left. So sweet and personable. She makes the waxing experience bearable.

Giving this place 2 stars because I wasn’t greeted very nicely by the staff. let’s start with the receptionist. She barely said good morning and talked with a lot of attitude. I was literally 2 minutes late, and she went on a rant about how I would have to reschedule if I had been 9 minutes late. I apologized. Soon, the waxer, Cecilia, came out. She said good morning, didn’t even smile and told me to follow her to the waxing room. She didn’t seem like she was in a very happy mood either.
So I went in (for a bikini wax) and waited for her to leave the room. In past experiences, the waxer actually leaves the room and then comes in a minute later to start… Makes things a bit more comfortable. But no. She told me to lay down and began the work. She didn’t say much and did her job, fast… I would say too fast. She seemed VERY rushed. After she finished, she walked out and told me to meet her outside. I did and I paid the receptionist who told me I should give her a good tip because I had been late. (2 minutes!!!) she guilt tripped me, so I gave her a nice tip.
This deserves 1 star but I gave them 2 because I did get a discount.
My overall experience here felt completely awkward and, to a certain extent, very uncomfortable. I don’t think I will schedule any other appointments at this EWC anymore. I’ve been to better ones (like the one in Daly City) with nice, friendly staff who make you feel like they actually care about their customers.

Went in yesterday for the very first time and I couldn’t of had a better experience. I hesitated in going in for so long just because i was so nervous of getting judged or being uncomfortable but the girls were so friendly and made it so it wouldnt be awkward definitely going back everything is so pretty and modern and most importantly CLEAN!!!

My review is for the Brazilian waxes. I absolutely love the waxer here they are so nice, friendly and very social. I have been helped by 2 black girls, one I believe her name started with a D? And the other was a skinny one. Totally love them although it’s been a while since I had a wax in Union City idk if they still work there.
The main reason for the 1 star is because they are totally waaaay under staffed. It is so irritating. There has been multiple times that I would try to have a walk in and each time they are either fully booked or they tell me to come back after an hour… ok wtf, total liars they do NOT accept walk ins. Prior, I had a varied schedule, because of that appointments wasn’t an easy option. After about the 8^th time coming in hearing the same bs I asked her how many waxers are there she only said 2 but one called off sick so there’s only 1. Irritating the fact that they’re usually only having 2 waxers there.
Then when I called the owner (I believe his name was Steven) he tries telling me all this bs; like how girls move in a 1 day notice, pregnancies and all this bs. So why hasn’t he hired more people then?! This same problems been going on for months for a long time! Completely unacceptable. Although they somehow fit it in the budget to have 2 receptionist. Such horrible scheduling.
I’m never coming back here again. Instead of me having about a two mile drive for my wax, now I have to drive to Fremont Hub because they’re better managed. Union City EWC needs to straighten up.

I’ve been here twice so far have had excellent service each time. The receptionists are very professional over the phone and in person. The reception area is very clean. It feels exactly like the sort of place you’d want to go to to remove hair from your lady bits.
I was really apprehensive upon going because I had never had any wax service done (aside from eyebrows) ever. Kenya was the first technician I saw and she was an excellent conversationalist. She made me feel relaxed and comfortable, and on top of that she was hilarious! Her personality helped make the experience less nerve-​wrecking and awkward for me.
On my second visit, I saw Davonda. She was also very personable and professional and she made sure to get every single hair!
Prices are expensive, but the first timer customer deals are pretty sweet and I also have a $ 5 credit for referring my mom. Overall, I had very good experiences and I have just booked another appointment for Friday! Very happy to say I can trust them with my lady bits.

I never thought I’d write a review for this place because folks just don’t need to be in my business LIKE THAT but this place deserves a 5-​star review.
Davonda. Davonda. Davonda. Maybe it was some kind of beginner’s luck but my first appointment with her went so smoothly! (Haha! Pun intended!) She asked me how I was doing that day and I shared «scared»! I think I might have even tripped on the word «scared» because I was so scared! I was in and out of there in 23 minutes! That includes the introductions, prep, wax and clean-​up! It hurt but it was nothing I couldn’t handle. She was quick about the applications of wax, confident in pulling that sucker off and she put pressure on the area. Judge me all you want but having pressure on the newly waxed area immediately after the pull is heaven sent! She insisted I continue talking to her as she did her magic. I may have taken advantage but I told Davonda so much about my life like she was my therapist. Sorry! The 23 minutes went by too fast.
I booked my next appointment with her already. Please don’t ever leave (without letting me know where you’re waxing next). Thanks!

I decided to give this place a try after my friend recommended it to me. I have never gotten my eyebrows or anything waxed in my entire life so I was pretty skeptical and nervous at the same time.
I came in at 2-​ish and the lady said they don’t have any availability until 4:45. I honestly didn’t know that they take appointments only but I took it anyway.
2 hours later, I came back and I got assisted immediately. I suck for not remembering my technician’s name because let me tell y’all… She knows how to keep a conversation! Like foreal. We were talking the whole time she was doing my brows and she’s hella funny too. The waxing part didn’t hurt at all! It was hot af but it’s natural I guess lmao. But yeah, she took her time and the session probably lasted 20 minutes which is a long ass time and made me impatient for a while. When I get mines threaded it usually lasts for about 5 – 7 mins. My eyebrows came out looking on fleek though!

I just wrapped up a Brazilian and had a great experience, so I want to vouch for my aesthetician Kenya, just like other Unilocalers have.
She was quick, which is always a plus. But even though she worked fast she was also very thorough; she thought she missed a few small hairs and initially asked if it was alright to tweeze them, but she ended up getting all of them out via waxing. She applied pressure after taking the wax off to ease the pain, too.
Not only is she great at what she does, she’s also very friendly! It didn’t feel like our conversation was forced, which is what usually happens in situations like this.
Tl;dr– schedule an appointment with Kenya!

I have never had a bad experience at any of the EWC locations. This one is very good with last minute reservations.
I arrived about 10mins early to my appt and gladly waited. My waxer was Kenya. She was very friendly and we chatted the whole time. She was very thorough and made sure she got every single hair.
I was very pleased.

My sister recommended this place to me about a year ago. I’ve been to two other waxing places, one in Hayward and another in Berkeley, but I have to admit that since I’ve discovered European Wax Center through my sister it’s been the only place I go!
My week to week schedule is not always the same, so I always turn them down when they ask me to book in advance. That leads me to my next point — I have never had an issue getting an appointment same day! I will usually call an hour or so before I plan to head there to see when their next available slot it and it’s usually within 1 to 2 hours, maybe I’ve just been lucky? This goes for both of the locations I go to. I live in San Lorenzo, so if it’s on the weekend or later in the evening I will go to this location in Union City. If I need my service done during the week in the day time, I will go to the San Ramon location since it’s only a couple blocks from my office!
Since my schedule is not consistent and I schedule same day to my convenience, I don’t have a regular lady that I see. But, this is okay with me and I have not had a bad experience yet! All the ladies that I have been set up with have been very nice, engaging, did a great job, and make the experience as painless and quick as possible!
I’ve already recommended my friends come here and I will continue to do so!

Conveniently located right in the Landing. Call ahead for a appt as it does get busy there. Friendly staff, place is really clean. They offer packages for all types of waxing. They really do give you your first visit free if you are a CA resident.
