European Wax Center

First Unilocal review!!! I came in last night for a wax and I must say this place uses the best wax! It is not cheap strip wax and makes my skin feel amazing. They also have a ton of products that are great & smell great. The receptionist girl, Steph, deserves a promotion. While I was waiting to be checked out she was up there rocking it by herself & there were a few people in the lobby that were upset due to scheduling conflicts I gather? Whatever the case she handled everyone very nicely and seemed to try to do her best to solve the problems. When it came my turn to check out she thanked me for my patience, which was unnecessary but appreciated. It is nice to see some places still care about customer service! Thank you.

LIZ IS GREAT! Just went in today &I I was SO SCARED. She made me feel comfortable and super relaxed. The girl at the front desk was super kind & gave me positive feedback when I was feeling a bit nervous! Will be back!
Ps; Brazilians are NOT THAT BAD… coming from a wimp!
Thanks guys!!!

Not happy with my experience. Came in for a Brazilian and was treated SO rudely by the gal at the front. Zero care for customer service. The girl who waxed me was sweet but didn’t do that great of a job. I didn’t realize until I got home but there were a bunch of spots that she had missed. On my way out, the girl at the front tried to sell me a product that I already had from Amazon. I told her that I had something similar to it and she gave me a snarky remark because I refused to buy it from them. Only care about $$$. Where is the customer service?

I’v never walked out dissatisfied! Liz is THE BEST.
The wax here doesn’t stick to your skin and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I’m always left smooth and stub free for at least 2 – 3 weeks. The ladies that work here are great! Don’t make you feel uncomfortable at all!
I HIGHLY recommend you visit them! & Liz!

So I had only done strip waxing and had to do it all the time because of my stubborn hair. Then, a friend of mine told me about European Wax Center and how awesome their wax is so I decided to test it out. Not only was my wax service incredible, my waxer and the front desk staff were amazing as well! I literally tell all of my friends about this place and would recommend them to anyone and everyone, especially if you’re looking for your first wax! The whole staff makes me, or any guest, feel so comfortable and makes sure I am completely satisfied before I walk out the door, especially their male manager, he’s amazing! Try out EWC, you won’t regret it!

I really don’t like the front desk guy Tyren he talks like I’m beneath him and is constantly trying to sell me on things. I just want to go in get my brows done pay and leave. I do however like there wax and the two ladies I have used so far were fast and very friendly.

I’m exceptionally disappointed. I’ve never in my life had my eyebrows misshaped and ruined so badly. I guess the saying «beggars can’t be choosers» goes into play here. I went in to try the free first time wax, a few weeks ago. The girl who did my eyebrows was super nice, held a constant conversation with me through the whole process. So for that I’ll give this review one star.
Let me start with saying I have been waxing (myself) as well as, been getting my eyebrows done since I was fourteen. That being said, I know very well what looks good on my face and what does not. I asked for my eyebrows to be cleaned up and the arch made more intense. (I wish I had a picture to show how terribly executed these eyebrows were.)
First of all, I had a THREE finger gap between my eyebrows.
Secondly, the end of my eyebrows were trimmed to a minimal shortness. I walked out of there with very swollen eyebrows and wasn’t able to see what had actually happened with my brows until a few hours later.
If you have beautiful eyebrows, do yourself a favor and look the other way when you drive by this waxing center. You’ll be heavily disappointed and will have to devote weeks to regrow the hairs that you will lose. I will never be a customer.

So the experience itself was aright. However I got my full legs done and there are strips of hair on my legs that were never touched. I left for a cruise the the next day and the whole reason I wanted to get waxed was to not have to shave during my vacation… so I dropped money on a half ass job.
The facilities are clean. And the staff is friendly That was the good part of my visit.
I’m also uncomfortable changing with the person in the room with me watching… very awkward and uncomfortable.
Not going back. Wish I had a better experience.

I have gone to European wax center a few times now. Every single time I’ve had a great experience. They all make you feel so comfortable, and they’re trained well, so they know exactly what they’re doing. The type of wax that they use, is for more sensitive skin, and doesn’t hurt as bad when pulling from the skin. I personally think it’s the best experience I’ve ever had with a bikini wax or under arms. Rya has been my wax specialist and she great. Very sweet and professional.
I have been to other European wax locations, and I will say that this one is my favorite.

I posted on Facebook for a good waxing spot.
Two of my cousins recommended this place
Since it’s down the street figured I’d give it a try.
I walked in about noon on a Sat without an appointment. Waited 1 min.
The girl at the front was really nice.
Thank god this wax was complimentary since it was my first time here. I would have been pissed if I would have had to pay $ 18 for nothing.
I had my eyebrows «waxed» by this young skinny chick with really short blonde hair. She took no more than 2 minutes. I walked in with bushy brows & I walked out with busy brows. Sucks because I really wanted to like this place.
Oh & nobody tried to sell me anything the whole 5 minutes I was there! :)
I ended up going down the street to Liberty Nails & the lady there did a great job! :)

..I have found my place for spoiling myself n getting wax did. From now on I’m not gonna be cheap and punish my face, I’m gonna pamper it:)…I was elated to be able to male and appt. Online, convenient, quick and easy. Next I showed up a few mins. early, and was greeted with smiles and the waiting area was crisp and clean (that’s what I thought of sitting in the nice chair).Not you nailspa&wax on the side place. This was a pleasant experience and set the tone for the main event – My full face wax. Yea I’m hairy, I admit and usually just go get my browser and upper lip done elsewhere, but figured might as well do something grand my first time here and to pamper myself after having g just so any stressful months. Mary was your waxer, and I felt comfortable. She explain d each step of the process and clarified what I wanted-​and let me know that she would wax my nostril hairs #lol firsts. it wasn’t as scary thought as I anticipated and it was nuttin didn’t hurt. a lil sting expected when doin cheek area, but to say that this was the best I had is the truth! it was relaxing and painfree. I definitely have found d my go to place and plan to make this my
8n Bakersfield but will plan to make appt around when. I’m down. And I appreciate the education I got off what not to do in between waxing .aka.don’t try to tweeze yer sh$t if ya don’t know what yer doin hahaja.
Point taken and thanks Mary. I look forward to future lessons on keeping this vintage face vintage. now on to senhor a to get my color match. watch out for that review come soon… Thanks for allowing me to share & thanx for checking g my two cents out!

This place is great. I’ve only gotten my eyebrows done by little nail salon places in the past. After a number a screw ups, I knew I needed a pro. Since this place is right around the corner, I decided to check it out.
The staff is very friendly. I walk into the waxing room, and my waxer had all kinds of information and answers. I learned more about waxing from walking into that place, than I have ever learned before. It was really interesting.
Of course, they try to upsell you left and right, which normally would make me go down a star. However, they were not pushy about the sales at all, which keeps it at 5 stars for me. :)
Definitely recommend.

I am a fan!
The wax they use here does not require a strip. It is a wax that is applied warm, cools off, and then is peeled off. This makes a huge difference if you need waxing in does «sensitive» areas… and for all the other areas that are not as sensitive. I discovered EWC in another state because of the promotion they had at the time. So when I moved to San Diego, I Unilocaled EWC.
I go to Mary who is thorough about removing all the hair wherever you wax. I have been to the other technicians. But, to me Mary is the best. Not only is she professional. But is funny. And, that helps when you’re having «sensitive» parts waxed. EWC also provides package deals that will save you money in the long run, and they can be broken into 3 to 4 installments.
Their location is clean, and cool. They always have a nice display of products they sell.
Parking is super easy as they are part of a shopping center. There is a Marshalls, Nail Salon, Home Depot, Sprouts, and other stores near by.
Enjoy!

I went in for a brow wax and came out with what was supposed to be a full brow with a nice arch. Or at least that’s what I asked for. I have pretty full brows already so I pretty much just wanted my brows cleaned up. I asked the girl why my eyebrows looked the way they did and she told me if I didn’t like them when I got home I can come back and get them re done. Now why on earth would me perspective change when I got home. I have been coming to European wax center for about 3 years. The girl who usually waxes me moved out of state. I will no longer be coming back.

Went in for eyebrow waxing, which is a free service if you’re a first-​time customer. I had an appt for 6:15pm and did not get called until almost 6:45pm. They have a strict policy about you keeping your appt, you cannot be more than 9 minutes late, but they don’t have a strict policy on keeping my appt on time. First time, bad impression.
The wax was done well with a lot of extra products added, which is not needed and honestly I would not spend that much time every day on my eyebrows. Who has that kind of time?
Like another review wrote, this place wants to sell you stuff. I get it, but I don’t really like it. I felt pressured to buy and to make a follow-​up appt.
I can’t remember the name of the girl who did my wax job, but she was very good and explained everything step-​by-​step and was very gentle and careful.
Not worth $ 18 for an eyebrow wax… if I have to wait almost 30 minutes and then have to listen to product sales pitch.

I remember three years ago, I was TERRIFIED to get waxed. I especially was scared because I’ve never gotten my lady parts waxed before and could only imagine the most immense pain ever.
Three years later, I’ve been coming to European Wax Center frequently and it is the only place I can imagine coming to get my intimate areas waxed. I don’t have a particular waxer I go to but everyone who works here is absolutely fantastic. The pain is on the minimal side and they always leave it clean and baby butt smooth. I love how they use the hot wax rather than the strips, one time I went to another waxing salon and they waxed me with strips and it left a lot of stray hairs, was way more painful, and was not smooth at the end.
If you are scared of getting waxed, don’t be! Try European Wax Center and you will love it!

Bottom line: This place wants to sell you stuff, not give you a high-​quality wax.
Pros:
Among least painful waxes I’ve experienced… but (see cons below)
Clean
Cons:
Not a thorough wax (ie, «happy trail» not considered part of brazilian — first and only time that’s ever happened in 12 years I’ve been waxing; no tweezing to remove strays; many stubborn hairs in hard-​to-​reach places left)
Experienced chafing/​peeling after, one of only three times in 12 years
Every person in the place tried to sell me something

Very friendly staff & like any other salon store they will recommend you their products. I got the serum and the exfoliate but for some reason my exfoliate gel started to turn watery on me? It doesn’t work as well. Im sure there is an explanation i just haven’t had time to go here & ask. My precision tweezers also bent :(so i dont know what to do with them now since they’re useless.

+1 — for being open waaaay longer than most other wax places
+1 — for having student specials
+1 — for having nice aestheticians, clean room, and a strict no-​double dipping policy.
–1 — for not being super thorough with their waxes
–1 — for trying to sell you their products (at first)
Overall: this is still my go-​to place. Convenience definitely wins over.

First time waxing is complimentary if your a California Resident!
This place was recommended to me by a friend. So I decided to check it out and was pleasantly surprised that my first trip was FREE!
The staff is super friendly, you can make appointments online. They have a referral program where you get credit if someone makes an appointment that was referred by you.
I love the wax that they use here. It is quality wax– hard wax, not the cheaper stuff. This means that the wax does not hurt as much and turn your skin as red.
The pricing is fairly decent. I have already scheduled my next appointment to go back. Kinda feels weird to say this but I am looking forward to the appointment to have the hair ripped off my body! LOL
They offer a line of skin care products to help with the wax and skin conditioning. I haven’t tried this yet. Not sure that I will. But they do offer it.
