Updating my review to reiterate that the front desk staff is scammy and weird. I've been repeatedly lied to about how many passes I have on my wax pass to incentivize me to buy more. Last time I went, I was told it was my last wax (it was not, I had two more). Today, I was told again it was my last wax (it was not, I have one more). Based on the owner's last response to me, she must be encouraging this behavior. Will be taking my business elsewhere and buying wax passes at locations where the staff don't lie to your face. read more

I've been going to Monica at this location for many years and wanted to take a minute to shout her out because she does such an amazing job. She is friendly, professional, and welcoming, and does her best to make the experience actually enjoyable. She always double checks her work and has a fine tuned attention to detail - she often notices small hairs that I would not have noticed myself and goes the extra mile to pluck after waxing. It's clear that Monica has many years of experience as an esthetician because she makes her work look easy and is always on time and efficient. If you go to this location, I highly recommend Monica. read more

Monica is the best. I had not seen her for my brows in a year but it didn't matter. A great experience from start to finish - the desk staff was kind, attentive and accommodating. read more

Honestly the best waxing place I've been to in the states. The staff are all excellent at what they do and as someone with sensitive skin I've never experienced irritation during or after their services. Also one of the most affordable places I've been to and extremely efficient! read more

This was my first time going to this specific location. I've never had hard wax used on me before and I think I actually prefer it to soft wax, which in comparison you have to apply a strip of muslin cloth on top to pull the hair off. The hard wax dries off and that is what is pulled off, which apparently is nicer for sensitive skin. Monica, who was my waxer, was very gentle and thoroughly explained what she was doing. This helped distract me through my Brazilian wax. Something I missed from this other waxing locations I've been to is their clean up service. read more

I've been going to this location for over a year now, and I love it. I'm fond of how easy it is to check in and out for my appointments. Little to no wait time. The staff is friendly overall. The establishment is clean, including their restrooms. Having the wax passes is a great investment. Lots of availability throughout the week to choose from as well as various Wax specialists. read more

European Wax Center - 9/20/2023 - Waxing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I usually sugar but also hard wax sometimes My appointment today was with Monica way more gentle this time time a lot of hair left between labia read more

I hadn't had a Brazilian in a decade and I was super dreading it but I just didn't feel like taming a long overdue beast myself before a beach vacation so painful af wax it was. My waxer, Candy, did a great job being as gentle as possible, calming, and great to talk to to try to distract myself from the misery. It was definitely worth it to not have to even think about shaving for a two week vacation. The price seems to make sense to me, too. Also! I was able to request a waxer who would wear a mask, which was great. With the BA.5 surge the last thing I wanted was for Covid to ruin my vacation so that made me feel much more comfortable. read more

I use to go see Krishna for my full Brazilian. She was amazing! I was very sad when I had to change locations.

3rd time at EWC, I keep going back because unfortunately I was stupidly pressured into buying a package, that I cancelled within the time period required and they refused to honor my cancellation...so now I'm stuck with 9 waxes I have to do there. Same issue every single time. Very impersonal staff, always left with tons of hair after the session, more ingrowns than I've ever had in my life. They honestly have no idea what they are doing and customer service is horrible. At this point I would actually rather eat the cost of the package I l already have rather than waste my time and pain going there for a wax. There are much better places that will actually do full clean ups, tweeze out every last hair and where people actually give a damn. So disappointing. read more

This was only my second time, so maybe shouldn't judge -- but it was a pretty bad experience. Anne-Marie, The woman working on my brows, chin, etc. seemed pretty clueless about how to relate to a customer. Though she was sniffling, I was never offered the option of her wearing a mask. I finally asked, since sniffles from someone 2 inches from my face seemed risky at best She was downright rude at times, implying that my brain was going due to my age! At that, I stood up and walked out of the room. Otika finished the job, and I must say she was delightful. Given everything I may go back, but def not in a hurry! read more

Let me first start off by saying I have been going to this location for 5+ years. And, when I was there last, I had the most amazing technician, Oteka. She is FIVE STARS! Love love love her, from her bright energy to how comfortable she makes everyone around her feel to how great of a job she does. However, over the last couple of months, I've noticed the mannerisms and customer service at the center's front desk have become genuinely ridiculous for a client-facing business. The last time I tried to make an appointment, back in August/September, it took me over an hour to get through to someone. I chalked it up to the business being short staffed and moved on with my life. I am pretty easy going and while it was annoying, I get that people get busy. But then today, I called ELEVEN times over the course of an hour, was put on hold for sometimes over 10 minutes at a time, and the woman answering the phones would literally pick up and then throw me back on hold again. The ONLY question I needed to ask was who was the last technician that I had, because she was AMAZING, and then I was going to book my appointment online. After the eleventh time, it doesn't take much to suspect they were now deliberately avoiding and ignoring my number, so I used another number to call. Miraculously (!!) the person picked up RIGHT AWAY. Once I got the information I needed, I asked her about my experience and why my specific number was going unanswered but then the second I called with another phone number, it was a different story. She starts stammering and tells me how busy she was and how it was annoying when I kept calling. (Fellow business owners, imagine hiring someone like that? Absurd.) Mind you, I was literally sitting on hold for up to 10 minutes some of the times... She knew what she was doing and starts muttering under her breath and literally starts moaning when I am genuinely sharing what had happened and asking like, why did you do this? I am sure she wanted to get across how annoying I was to her, very mature, right?, and then told me to call back in 3-5 business days to speak to upper management. Listen, I get we all have better things to do with our days than deal with someone complaining on the other end of the line (or, in my case, writing a Yelp review), but perhaps if she had been professional to begin with and just answered the phone like she's paid to do, there would have never been an issue. read more

I decided to try this spot after getting my first wax at a EWC in New Jersey (where the service was impeccable and waxer was super genuine). At the 7th ave location, I was waxed by Sabrina. I felt like she was asking questions mainly geared to push the product, extra services etc. and cared less about my comfort/overall experience, so much that I found it quite disruptive. The woman at the front desk (Tanisha I believe?) was super nice and excited to tell me about the wax pass, when I asked about the student discount shortly after purchasing, her response was, "I'm not sure... I don't sell too many of those. I really make my commission off the wax passes." She'll go on about the amazing sales and how soon it will be over, sooo make sure you rack up. Beware!!!! My advice is to ask tons of questions and do your research and see what products are best suited for your skin before going crazy in there!! And I didn't realize it until I got home... but there are some hairs left behind which I'm not too happy about. Overall, the location is clean and following COVID-19 standards. I would return and opt to try a different waxer until I find my match. If not... going back to Jersey!!! read more

For my first time I can say it was quick and painless! Monica is indeed the best! Highly recommend read more

I purchased the unlimited underarm wax pass last year and It has worked really well. "unlimited" is kind of an overexaggeration as I dont think you can get your arms waxed more than every 2 weeks and that's already a bit much. They even suggest every 4 weeks. I get my underarms waxed by everyone, some are more professional than others... some push you to buy products more than others but at the end of the day everyone's at about the same level of competency. Place is very clean.. they don't step out for you to go onto the bed.. I'm not sure if they do for Brazilian? Cash and credit accepted. Don't miss appointments! After two-three no shows it's a wrap you can't make appointments over the phone! You can cancel even an hour before just cancel! I probably won't Renew my wax pass and opt for laser as it's been working really well on my legs! ONE FREE WAX FOR NEW CLIENTS! PRE BOOK APPOINTMENTS IN STORE AND EARN MONEY THAT YOU CAN USE THERE TOWARDS A SERVICE! read more

This review is for Farzana and only considering her service (Brazilian) Literally the best Brazilian I've ever had. I've been getting them for 8 years now and saw Farzana last minute. She is SO precise with her work. I don't have a single missed hair and she is so professional that I can't see a reason to try my luck with someone else. read more

NEVER go to Wax Tech Kasia!! She should be FIRED! I wish I could give them 0 stars. I had THE worst wax experience of my life here & ladies or anyone for that matter-- PLEASE spare yourselves and go to another location! I went to get a Brazilian wax on 4/13/19 and the tech Kasia waxed both of my labia majora (both lips -____- ) AT THE SAMEEE TIME! When I told her how painful it was and that I had never had anyone wax me like that, she said very nonchalantly "There's a first time for everything ‍" and that it was faster FOR HER when she does it that way . Meanwhile -- they had a couple of hours before closing (I think I went around 5/6pm)-- so there was no rush! When it was done, I literally had to go into the bathroom to gather my life. When I went home, I realized I was bleeding and in excruciating pain. She left hairs behind. It was horrible, to say the least. I told the front desk staff and manager on my way out about my experience and instead of them trying to resolve the issue right then and there, a month later I was left trying to inform management of the issue. The Supervisor Angelica and front desk rep. Jessica are awful & terrible at their jobs. I reached out to corporate, the manager & the BBB. The supervisor Angelica was supposed to give me a call and never did so I had to call her. She claimed corporate didn't tell her. When she finally gave me a refund for the craziness -- she ended up charging me AGAIN. When I called back to tell them what happened -- Jessica gave me A-T-TI-TUDEEEE and told me it wasn't her problem -- she wasn't the one who helped me, the supervisor was gone for the day and I should call my bank and tell them to refund the money lmao. . A NIGHTMARE!! Save yourselves the stress. I had razor bumps, a cyst, and my hair growing back wildly as a direct result from not being waxed properly. Prior to this wax, I wasn't experiencing any of these issues. I want to make sure no one has to deal with an experience like this, ever! Back to Bliss I go. read more

I don't understand the hype about Sabrina - my Brazilian really, really hurt. Which fair, it had been a while. What drove me to write a review was how during my wax, while I'm in some pretty serious pain - she exasperatedly looked up when my last appointment at EWC had been and lectured me about how I should really be coming every 4 weeks and using their products. I don't necessarily need sympathy, but the judgement and attitude was just a real insult to injury. read more

Ladies Ladies Ladies!!!! Please do yourself a favor and book with Rosa ASAP! Let me start by saying with I first came to this location I was seeing Monica (who is also amazing as well) however she wasn't really available on the nights I was so I fell onto the table of the wax Queen herself Rosa. Let tell you Rosa is sooo amazing she's really easy to talk too the wax is painless. I NEVER write reviews on places but I just feel like the world needs to know about the hidden gem I stumbled on. Ladies do yourself a favor and book her NOW. She has literally become apart of my selfcare routine. You guys can thank me later ;) read more

So I was told by a friend to try the European wax center and me being well..... non European with a totally different hair texture I was skeptical. I went and was pleasantly surprised when they took me in with my scheduling issues and Farzana did a great job. It was my first time and no complaints. I just read the other reviews and if I was being waxed in two places at the same time I'd jump off the table tell them forget it and leave without paying. Sorry but F you and your time I'm paying for a very delicate service (Brazilian wax) so don't rush it or I'm leaving. Which is exactly what I didn't have to do oh and front desk Nicole was very welcoming and sweet! P.s. loving my wax read more

Highly recommend Monica - friendly, quick, and professional. Was very assuring and nice during my most recent visit, which I appreciated. Will come back again to see Monica! read more

I think your experience here definitely depends on who you see - and though I personally haven't had a bad experience, I do prefer some waxers over others. I absolutely LOVE Annamarie - she's the main girl I see for my Brazilians and she always does such a great job (never have I needed to pluck after getting home) and while waxing is never a fun time, she's so lovely to chat with and our convos distract me from what's going on down there. I have pretty sensitive skin and perhaps a lower pain tolerance than others, but with her it goes by quick and - while I won't say painless - she makes it as bearable as a Brazilian can get lol. When I couldn't book with Annamarie, I saw Oteka was equally impressed! Despite the fact it was one of the more painful times (I'd broken down and shaved in between appointments... bad idea!!) she eased my discomfort as much as she could, reminded me to breathe through it, and just had a very calming presence overall. And of course, because the outcome should at least be worth the pain, she did a fantastic job as well. Like I said, your experience here or with any wax studio largely depends on who you see - and I can't recommend Annamarie or Oteka enough! read more

Killed. I don't remember it being this bad last time?! She didn't end up doing a few areas, because I couldn't handle it, but I think I was charged full price anyway. Just realized that now. I will call. read more

I left my Brazilian appt bleeding, with wax spots, and stray hairs. I was yelled at for trimming my hairs between wax (I use a guard so it doesn't touch skin) and told that I was bleeding because of that. I was bleeding because she did the entire lip back to front in one strip with the wax too hot and it yanked my skin off! She couldn't finish because I was bleeding so much so I still have hairs on my lips. It looks terrible and I'm so scared of getting infected. Think twice before seeing Aida. read more

I am so heartbroken! I was excited to finally get a wax after a year's wait and was happy to return to my local European Wax Center because its run by all womyn of color. Imagine the betrayal I felt to get home after receiving a "brazilian bikini" to find the sloppiest job done in the areas I couldn't see without a mirror. Patches of hair left in the most unattractive places! There's a lot of trust in a technician who is "up in yo business" handling something you can't do for yourself. I believed she cared to do a good job so I tipped well (as I always do). And now what? I rock a patchy puss til mu next appointment? ‍ read more

I haven't had a bikini wax in years, and Annmarie was great at putting me at ease! We talked, she made sure I was breathing, and I feel so much better about what felt like impending doom. Great front desk staff too. Thanks, EWC! read more

I am used to the European Wax Centers in Orlando, so I was shocked by the lack of professionality at this Brooklyn location. However, though jarringly different, it wasn't bad enough to make me leave. One of rhe waxers was though...and I almost reconsidered my wax package with this company. However, a saving grace came in a waxer named Maria (might be off) who was very attentive and delicate. The waxer you get can make or break your experience so if you get a good one, add them to the list. Also note, this location seemed confused by my suggestion to add this waxer to my favorites. Honestly, the receptionists are mostly disinterested and are usually deep in conversation or laughing loudly enough that you can hear it from the back of the building. I miss Orlando obviously, where they were happy to keep me with one waxer and they are super professional. Thankfully, I found Maria. read more

From the very first moment I walked through the door with my sister they made the experience every worth the whole. The place was very clean and sanitized. The workers made me and my sister feel at ease since it was our first time having a wax. The AMAZING wax lady candy made me feel so comfortable and talked me through the whole process and even the after care tips I definitely recommend this place and will surely be going back for each and every wax I receive in the future. read more

I've written reviews for other EWCs before, but this one is so good, I reupped my unlimited wax pass for a Brazilian. Yep - they're that good. Listen - if you're reading this, you know what you're in for. It's awkward, a little uncomfortable, and you just want to be done with it and have a good job done. My experiences at this EWC have been all of those things. AND - unlike other locations I've been to, this one has always run on time or very close to on time. I don't have a favorite wax technician (saw Sabrina last time and she was great - super thorough, painless as it gets and FAST). The women in the front are always very very nice, and while most of the employees I encounter try to upsell me a product along the way, they don't push when I politely decline. It's just part of their job, but I appreciate that they explain why they suggest what they suggest. read more

This was my first time today at this location and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. First, when you walk in, the receptionist is Oh so sweet. Sorry, I forgot her name but she had a lovely head of crotchet braids. I originally booked my appointment with Svetlana, but ended up being paired with CHRYS. No complaints here! She was so sweet and patient. Pain is not my pleasure and she some how made it bearable for me. Appreciated the friendly reminder to maintain waxing so it won't feel as if it's my first time waxing each visit. So yea go to Chrys, she's so pleasant and sweet. The pre treatment done, was helpful especially the application of the baby powder. Oh, I definitely told the receptionist the wrong area, however she was kind enough to credit me for my next visit. Which is expected but the way it was handled was great. I've only waxed one other time a while ago before this. I have to say, I'll continue to come here and see Chrys each time. See you in a couple of weeks! :) read more

As I was bit mixed with trying a new waxing salon since I've been really fond with my usual location in Williamsburg. I also tried waxing at Unique Threading in Manhattan on Avenue of Americas and West 21st which was pretty standard and good. But I needed a closer place and I remember my former coworker praising the European Wax center. Well, Yelp peeps, I must say that I really like this salon. My results were amazing but the experience was a bit annoying. I went to Marjeta who was pretty good. She did a Brazilian and lower leg wax for me. The results were stunning (extremely smooth and looked amazing) so I have no complaints about her expertise. She did an excellent job. But I must admit staff overall was a bit pushy about products and pre-paid waxing services. Their way of upselling is sucking you into a guilt trip in terms of much money you can save if you buy their products and pay monthly for unlimited services. It gets annoying. I believe you can save more by booking in advance and buying a bundle but you know sometimes, our budget isn't prepared for large down payments on things like this. The services are expensive already so I kinda don't want to drop an extra 100 dollars on bundle stuff. It's a personal pet peeve. But I did book for next month so this place is definitely my go-to as of now especially since my results were excellent. read more

I got waxed by Jada and she was very nice, thorough and professional. I really liked how every step of the way she was explaining what she was doing. It made me feel really comfortable and confident that she knew what she was doing. She got all the hairs and I am still smooth with no issues. I made another appointment with her in 4 wks. I will say, they just need to work on being more timely with answering calls at the front desk. read more

I've been going to this location for the past three years and am very happy with the technician I work with (farzana, who is impeccable and v pleasant). However I hate that it is IMPOSSIBLE to reschedule an appointment because you can't do so online and you have to wait on hold for an HOUR to actually speak to someone. It's a dysfunctional system that is torturous for both the receptionists and clients to navigate. Instead of renewing wax passes I'm going to look into getting lasered so I don't have to deal with this. read more

Omg Farzana was an angel!! I am 35 and have never had a bikini wax! I was so nervous when I went In but she made me feel so comfortable the whole time. The wax is incredible, it doesn't leave any residue or anything behind afterwards. I am so happy with the results as is my fiancé Pros: very clean, kind knowledgeable staff (Farzana you rock) conveniently located. Great promo deals. Great wax, none of that terrifying strip wax stuff. Cons: a little odd that they stay in the room as you undress and dress, but they do it in a professional way. They do sort of pressure you to buy their products. They also pressure you to rebook in store. (If you do you get discounts) read more

I had a pleasant, efficient experience and plan to return. Prepare to be upsold, and do some research on the offerings before you go in so you can confidently get what you want and decline what you don't. read more

Had my first experience with a Brazilian Wax and it was something. I really like this center. It was clean and the customer service was excellent. I commend the wax specialist Kasia. She was very supportive even though I yelped a few times. I definitely will go back. read more

Definitely agree that it's hit or miss. I used to go to a European Wax Center in the Upper West Side when I lived there and decided to try this out in my new neighborhood. I had decent experience there and I liked that they offered package and student deals that actually saved you $10-$20 per visit. They use hard wax without strips which is good because it's supposed to take less passes and grab the hair better, but it may also hurt more at first. They also sell their own body products which they will try to sell you. TL;DR - find a good technician and do not get your 1st Brazilian here! Tell them if the wax is too hot. Check before you get up from the table/room check if they did a thorough job, if not ask them to fix it. - 2x Visits for Brazilians I've been getting Brazilian's for over 4 years and have gone to a variety of places, from nail salons, spas (with Groupons) to waxing places. The training here is inconsistent, I've had 2 technicians here who I wouldn't say were the worst but could definitely improve and were bad enough that I'm now making sure to avoid them. After all, you're paying at least $40 + tip for SOMEONE TO PUT HOT WAX ON YOUR SENSITIVE BITS. - No Thank You If you are getting Brazilian's steer clear of Sabrina who had an awful technique of dousing profusely in baby powder and pulling large chunks (not in strips!) of the wax. I understand the 1st time you powder to make sure the wax sticks, but she kept putting it onto the wax and fanning me the entire time after she put on wax which I have never had anyone have to do. I believe you can wait a second to let the wax cool in between. She did ask if the wax temperature was fine the 1st time, then kept putting it on without waiting a second or 2 when it was super hot. The 1st technician I had, didn't ask if it was hot and just proceeded to scald me. She then proceeded to cover half of me at a time in wax instead of in manageable strips so that it seemed like she could get it over with more quickly--which sure might have 'saved some time' but it also left chunks of hair I had to point out that were still there. When I asked if she could please fix it, she then gave an explanation that they were ingrown...they were not, they were spots her 'technique' missed. - Would I come back? I did buy one of their 6 wax packages and because of the convenience of the location and scheduling I will go back until I finish it but I'll have to keep trying to find a decent technician. read more

Was a faithful Krishna follower for years until she left this location. Today I used Sabrina and she was great. It was a easy, rather painless experience. She is quick, knowledgeable and very thorough. I will definitely come back. read more
