European Wax Center

Pros: The best customer service ever! They always take me even if I don’t have an appointment and always make me feel welcomed and comfortable. I always leave with a smile. Everyone that works there is so nice. I recommend!
Cons: parking is scarce. If you want to park for free you need to park by bjs a few blocks away. I think street parking in front of the business has fees.

This place keeps getting better ! I bought the buy 6 and get 1 free deal here.
In love with the prompt service, cleanliness and pain free experience !

I love their service and the wax. I have been going to European wax center for 4 years now and I’m hooked. this is the second location I have been to and both location is clean, friendly and comfortable. each girl that encountered is sweet and professional. their package deal is a steal and super convenient.

Hit or miss place, depending on the person servicing you! I’ve been here thrice, and the quality of service has gone from 5 star to 2 star. I had Jenny and Caitlyn earlier, and they were both great. Super sweet, quick, efficient and did a pro job.
This evening though I got a new staff member, who I believe has been on the job for two weeks. Honestly, I am all for cutting some slack to newbies on the job. But when I’m paying over 150 bucks for a monthly wax, my tolerance for ‘new on the job’ folks takes a nosedive. What usually takes an hour 15 minutes, got extended into a 2 hr 15 min session today, and I had that frustrating ‘but this wax could have been so much better’ experience. Not to mention peeling skin and clear lack of technique.
Super thanks to Amanda for stepping in and helping finish up the job! Really, I feel for the new person, and I would suggest that the management spend more time training her instead of allotting her to clients already!
Lastly, the staff here needs to go easy on peddling their products. They try to sell the ‘slow hair growth’ cream and wash and exfoliator at least three times on every visit!
Net, I would still go back (recommend the 9+3 package) but I would now be VERY particular about the staff I book with. Oh, and book online

I’ve been to many European wax center locations and have tried multiple waxers and Amanda is hands down the sweetest and most professional Aesthetician I’ve had yet. Getting waxed can be very uncomfortable for most ladies and Amanda makes you feel at ease! I highly recommend booking with her!

I recently got a Brazilian bikini wax at this place and it was the most terrible experience I’ve ever had. Some Korean lady attended me and it seemed like she was just waiting to finish it as soon as she could.
Instead of taking the hair out from the roots she had broken them midway and left a small portion undone, which I realized when I reached home.
She abruptly stopped and said it was done. She did not even clean it properly after the wax. I didn’t even feel like ripping her, since their prices are so high and services are pathetic.
I would never suggest this place to anyone.

I’ve been going to EW for almost 2 years now and I’m happy I found this place. Scheduling an appointment is very easy, walk-​ins are always welcome and very friendly staffs.

It was my first time at European Wax Center and going in, I was nervous. But when I entered, I was instantly welcomed and felt much more at ease. They informed me about their Comfort Wax and other services I might have been interested in. Having waxed before, this was probably the easiest wax I’ve ever done (did Underarms and Brazilian). Amanda was the best. Conversation was smooth and she was reassuring me the whole time. She was quick and precise and I just can’t wait to go back. I definitely would recommend getting the packages if you loved it as much as I did!

I was very disappointed with my experience here. I will say as a caveat that other employees may do a wonderful job, but the woman I worked with was unprofessional. I’ve been to 4 or 5 other places for waxing over the years, so I have a fair amount of other people and styles to compare this to. They use the hard wax here, which I’ve had before.
As if this experience isn’t painful enough, she put the hard wax over the same area 4 or 5 times. All over. It was like getting 4 consecutive waxes. I’ve never had that happen before. When I mentioned that it was starting to get uncomfortable, she said «you have sensitive skin». Then, about 3 waxes in, she doesn’t let the wax cool long enough and it burns the skin that she’s been torturing. I mention that the wax was a bit too hot that time, and she says «you have sensitive skin». At the end of the session, just before leaving, she again mentions that I «have sensitive skin». I’ve never had a problem with waxes before (other than the expected normal level of discomfort). This «sensitive skin» will go elsewhere for future appointments.

Amanda was quick, friendly, and comfortable. A wax is going to hurt no matter what but she was able to make the overall experience a pleasant one. A few stray hairs here and there were left so remember to be diligent and check when you are done and don’t feel bad about asking your waxer to get in there and finish the job! I’ll be going back to see Amanda for all my future waxes. Ps. If you are a new resident to Jersey City, make sure to bring your ID or a copy of your lease to get half off your first time services!

Writing this review feels a bit TMI? But in the spirit of Unilocal,here I go.
So I have been getting my brazilians at J Sisters for years. Yes, THE J Sisters. You know, the group of sisters from Brazil that originated the Brazilian wax we women subject ourselves to? They’ve been on Oprah, countless magazines, etc etc. Anywho, I’ve been making my way all the way uptown in the city and carving out too much time and energy to get it done by the experts because I haven’t trusted anyone else (I’ve gone rogue and tried it at a place in JC that shall remain nameless but after that terrible experience I decided that making my way to J Sisters was, in the end, worth it).
Well I am happy to share that I have found new experts. Right down the block here in Jersey City. Alleluia.
I gave EWC a chance as an act of desperation since I’m leaving for vacation tomorrow and just did not have a chance to make it into the city this week. I panicked. I’ve passed EWC many times and made an appointment online.
The facilities are clean (cleanliness is check number one on my list of «do I trust this place?»). I chose at random who my waxer was and thank goodness I got Amanda. She’s young which made me nervous at first but she knows what she’s doing, is super friendly and makes eh experience totally comfortable.
The use comfort wax at EWC. What’s comfort wax, you ask? It’s a strapless wax that quickly dries up and I swear it’s virtually painless. I never heard of comfort wax until now (J Sisters is old school and still uses strips – I think a lot of places still do?). Anyway, I’m totally sold on it. Amanda even took the time to show me what the wax looked like and explained how it works. The whole wax itself was complete in less than ten minutes.
Cost isn’t bad at all – there’s even a discount for first-​timers like myself. Was even considering buying a package but was rushing out to get back to work. I’m hooked and will definitely be coming back!

Omg Amanda — where have you been all my life?!! She is by far the best waxer I’ve ever been to! She is sweet and funny — definitely distracts me from the situation! I’ve been seeing her for the past year and every wax has been great– my skin has never looked better! Go see Amanda for all your waxing needs!

I recently started coming to this location and have had a good experience so far. Jenny’s good and Caitlyn’s very friendly. This location is also very clean and convenient to get to — right off of the light rail!

I had a great experience here.
Work was done very well.
Professional.
Super clean.
Very Friendly.
Worth paying the price vs the small beauty stores.
They do not reuse the wooden stick like most unhygienic places do.

I’ve been going to EW in Jersey City for over an year now. I had many great waxing technicians but now nothing compares to Alexandra: kind, fast and thorough. Simply no pain at all. It is a pleasure to meet her at the reception area, she always has a sincere smile and remembers all the details and preferences when it comes to my waxing. Alexandra is an outstanding professional and I would recommend her services with closed eyes (the only downside being that this may make her even busier and harder to schedule ;) Way to go Alex! Way to go EW‘! Cris

I have been coming here for years and just been satisfied with the services and experience until I was fortunate enough to have Alex one day when I came in with no appointment.
She is very thorough and friendly! Would recommend her to any first timer or someone not in love with their current waxer.

Come here regularly for my brazilians. I love the wax they use and prices are very reasonable. I bounce between this location and the new one in TriBeCa (which I prefer). I’ve had two girls in JC that were a little on the abrasive side — hence the four stars.

Around this time last year I gave a birthday gift to my boyfriend for a full body wax.
After the wax at no time did the waxing technician warn him of any potential side effects he might incur. His upper thighs had red flushing with ingrown hairs that took about a year to heal. During this time he had contacted customer service and he was invited for a free wax to potentially resolve the issue. He accepted, but after his complementary wax he was forced to pay 10% off each service. He had not agreed to this form of recompense at any time.
The owner was taken to small claims court to resolve the dispute, however she got off with hearsay even though he had suffered personal injury.
AVOID.

Wonderful experience.
Amanda is sweet and efficient.

My first time today! I was told Amanda is the best! She surely is! She is super sweet and recommended great products to help my problems. I have had other salons push me on purchasing products and other services. Amanda did not once push anything on me. She also answered every question I had.
Girlfriend knows her stuff and does not judge the condition your body hair is in hahaha.
I must save up for this place as it is a liiiiiittttle more pricey compared to my old place and right now I can’t afford the installments (which is actually way more economical) but my first trial price was pretty awesome.
I have only but the highest reviews for this place.
