European Wax Center

I’ve never been waxed in my life, so of course I decided to go for a Brazillian wax my first time out. Go big or go home. I just wanted to try this waxing business out to see if it was worth it, but never knew where to go. I was grocery shopping nearby and decided to wander on in to find out more. The counter person was definitely salesy, but nothing horrible. I set up my appointment and anxiously awaited my first wax.
After reading some of the mixed reviews here, I didn’t have high expectations. The girl who called to confirm my appointment sounded annoyed, so that lessened my expectations even more. However, when I arrived, the counter people were friendly and helpful. My wax was with Stevie, and she did a great job.
I knew a bikini wax was up close and personal, but I will say this process (again, new to me) made going to the lady doctor feel like a modest experience. I’m also not going to lie… certain parts were pretty painful, but Stevie told me that is normal for your first time and it gets better the more you do it. She did suggest the ingrown hair serum, but was not pushy about it (nothing irritates me faster or loses my business faster than pushy sales people). I did buy the serum, and it seems like it has helped. I’m very pleased with my results and have made another appointment. I only wish I had the cash to get everything waxed… so far my one appointment has been worth it.
My waxer is going out on maternity leave soon, so I don’t know whose hands my business will be in for future appointments, but I hope they also do as good a job.

This is my place, clean, fast service. Efficient, check in processes. Great packages worth the $ for the savings. I’ve been to other locations but this one is nearest my home. Plus I found my go-​to person here. Lauren KNOWS her brows. You’ll have Hollywood framed eyes in no time! She’s fast and fastidious about cleaning up the pesky unwanted hair. Ladies… You know bikini season is coming up, soon. Don’t forget the ingrown hair serum. It does work, I use it when I shave too for silky soft thighs! No, I do t work for them even tho I sound like an advertisement :-)

I will never go anywhere else to get my eyebrows waxed!!! Not only is the staff super nice and personable but I don’t feel like my fave is being ripped off when they wax my eyebrows and I don’t even turn red. Tiffany is amazing! I highly recommend coming here!

I purchased a wax pass, so I’ve been here several times. The first 2 – 3 times I thought I’d found a great waxer, even though she was a big-​time product pusher. I can handle that, but on the 3^rd visit, she used wax that was so hot, I had blisters the next day. The next day I came into the store and asked the front desk what they would recommend I use on my blisters, and the receptionist just stared at me stupidly, as if I’d asked her in another language. Right then, a waxer that I didn’t know wandered up front and so I asked her what she recommended, and of course she recommended one of their products to use on my burn. She didn’t apologize that I had gotten burned there. There is just a complete and utter lack of professionalism here IMO, and I think it has a lot to do with the waxers being very young and probably just out of beauty school. In subsequent visits, I’ve used different waxers, and one of them used a racial slur in front of me (!), and the two other ones didn’t bother to hold the skin taut (I think another reviewer mentioned this as well). Who doesn’t know that the skin needs to be held taut when waxing?! My last couple of appointments have been in the evening, and the waxers are probably in a hurry to get out of there, but that’s no excuse to just rush through a bikin wax. I’m so disappointed – this location is so close to my house!

Economy spas like these (European wax, Massage Envy, etc.) are the best thing to happen to womanhood since half priced Cosmos on ladies night! They’re fast, clean and relatively inexpensive — giving you time and money to be the breathtaking Moon Goddess you were meant to be.
However, unlike McDonalds where your obesity patty is pretty much guaranteed to be exactly the same no matter who is providing it, your experience at European Wax center will be as good or as bad as the technician you see. Knowing that, I always give a new location a couple of tries with different techs until I find the one that works for me.
Luckily, the first time I visited, I found the one! Um… no, not a man. Shockingly, sexy, appropriately waxed gents aren’t on the menu.
But, I did find right wax tech for me (Jaime). She’s quick, efficient and skilled at doing my eye, lip and (gulp!) bikini wax. In fact, she has been able to help me get my brows back in a good shape after a previous waxer (different company) butchered them causing me to have a certain je né sais serial killer look. The process took a few months but she was consistent in listening to me and remembering the shape I wanted so I could get good results over time. Be warned, she is a bit of a product pusher. So, if you have a hard time not buying the latest Ronco «set it and forget it» rotisserie from TV, wear earmuffs.
My appointments always run on time which is HUGE! I can’t stand to wait when I have an unsuspecting world populace to conquer. The front desk staff is pleasant enough. I mean, what do you want from someone saying hi and checking you in? A love sonnet? The spa is clean, attractive and bright. In comparison, nail salons that do waxing have questionable sanitation including double dipping their wax and their «waxing areas» are pretty gross. (You KNOW people have died back there.)
Is this a luxury experience? Absolutely not. But, because I’m half Sasquatch, getting waxed is a regular, maintenance item for me. I want to get it done and get out. I don’t want to waste time sipping tea and putting on fluffy robes. Are there likely terrible techs lurking in the halls waiting to turn you into a feral bald cat? Probably. But, if you get a bad tech, let the non sonnet having ladies at the front desk know and ask for a refund. Then try another tech. Just don’t clog up Jaime’s book with your appointments because I need to get in.
