Today, I visited European Wax in Burlington for the first time since having my baby; it was a…read moremomentous appt. I chose the associate I'll refer to as E because of how terrific she is and the rapport she's built with me over the past few years. I've been a loyal customer in Burlington for three years, and E has always been my favorite. She's upbeat, friendly, remembers me, and is exceptionally skilled--efficient, professional, and virtually painless. That's why I was both surprised and disappointed to learn today was her last day. She was let go with less than two weeks' notice--not for the quality of her work, but for not meeting product sales quotas. I've purchased annual wax packages for seven or eight years, but this will be my last. Across multiple locations, I've seen a pattern of poor employee treatment. Sales quotas should never come at the cost of retaining top talent. If a company is losing great employees like E over product sales, the problem isn't the employees--it's leadership. If European Wax continues to prioritize short-term sales over long-term customer loyalty, it won't just lose great employees--it will lose customers like me. By the way, my first postpartum wax was a positive experience thanks to E. She is outstanding!

Feeling annoyed with my recent visit... I booked someone specific and was seen by a different…read moreperson with not explanation as to why. Not sure why that is. My first wax (Brazilian) at this location was with the same person as today. I had chosen this waxer my first time due to her bio about her years of experience and care for attention to detail. My first wax she had left a significant amount of hair and it felt kind of rushed. I was honestly not happy when I was greeted by the same waxer again today as I feared I would go home with the same result. I of course was left with lots of hair and wax residue. The appointment is supposed to be 15 minutes and I was out of there in under 10... I feel very let down due to the fact that this person had yet again left me with a significant amount hair and rushed through the service. How could you let a client walk out knowing damn well you left loads of hair after the service is "all done". Is that how you would want to be waxed?! The waxer was very nice but she does not seem to care if she gets all of the specific areas that you book. Her bio is far from correct as she doesn't pay attention to detail. If I wasn't in a time crunch due to a trip I would have left and rebooked with someone else.

We had an extremely disappointing experience at this establishment.  The front desk attendant,…read moreJocelyn, was not only combative and condescending but also consistently rude throughout our interaction. We arrived just three minutes late, only to be subjected to an unnecessarily lengthy lecture on their late policy. Even after we assured her that we understood, she continued with her reprimand. Despite multiple requests for her to stop, she persisted in chastising us--right in front of a crowded lobby. When we calmly pointed out that her behavior was unprofessional, she dismissively responded that we didn't have to stay if we didn't want to listen to her. As if that wasn't enough, she then spoke about us openly to her coworker while we were still present. When we informed her that we could hear her, she flatly stated that she didn't care. This lack of discretion seems to be standard practice at this establishment. During our time there, we became unwilling participants in overhearing details about other patrons' procedures and Jocelyn's personal opinions on them. At full volume, we learned that the next client was receiving a Brazilian wax, followed by Jocelyn's loud and unsolicited commentary about how "gross" she found such services. In summary, if you're looking for a reception experience filled with lectures, public shaming, and eavesdropped commentary on your personal choices, then this is the place to be. Otherwise, I suggest you look elsewhere. For the record, the wax itself was excellent. Service date: 10/18/24. Appt time: 6:30pm & 6:45pm PS: if you were the Brazilian appt after us, you should probably call the manager. Jocelyn did not speak kindly about you.

The girl was new and inexperienced. After attempting 3x to do my underarms I asked her to stop (no way I was letting her touch down there). The wax she was using was not melted or nearly warm. She applied the half melted wax 3x and barely took out any hair instead my skin was ripped off. When I asked to speak with the manager, she apologized and told me some of the wax machines needed the fuses replaced that she wasn't sure what happened while looking appalled that my armpits were literally bleeding. I think Save yourself and do NOT go here!

Went in to get my eyebrows done. Had stopped going there and went to Newton instead because Jess…read morehad totally cut a strip out of my eyebrow last time. (Like 6 months ago). So I decided to try it again. I walked in and she's wearing 2 masks and is super awkward and smells like smoke like usual and she asks me if I am using retinol. I have been using it for ages and never had an issue. Tells me she can't do my eyebrows and that's it. Thanks and goodbye. She could lose her job if she did it. I have to be off retinol for three months in order to get my face done. I told another European wax i had been on retinol and they said it was fine. This is absurd and I will never go back again.

Stay clear and go somewhere else or do threading.

Everyone was super friendly and understanding. The two girls at the front desk made me feel at ease. Alex was very efficient and business-like, without being harsh or cold.
