After looking up places near me and reading a lot of reviews I decided to try out EWC. I walked in, was greeted right away, and the lady at the desk got me all set up to get my brows done. I didn't have to wait long which was also a plus! The technician (sorry I can't remember her name!) was so so nice and I could tell she was listening to me explain how I wanted my eyebrows to look! We had good conversation and she would always tell me what she was going to do next which is great especially for first timers! Another big plus is that for the first time EVER after getting my brows done professionally, I didn't break out at all! I'm not sure if this is because of the wax they use, the products they use, or just how I care for them after because I'm used to breaking out but I'm very happy and will definitely be returning! read more

I went here for my first Brazilian wax. I'm a furry guy. The woman was very kind and explained anything I had a question about. I felt very safe and will be back. read more

Went in for my first appointment, right off the bat, the receptionist was very helpful and the vibe is great. Clean and very organize! It was Ariana that did my waxing and she made me feel very comfortable. Great customer service and very pleased with the results. Definitely coming back and a highly recommended location! read more

Everyone is amazing, from the front desk staff to the professional waxers. The place is always clean and organized. I'll always refer people here! read more

Lexi is one of the best waxers I've had since coming to EWC. She knows what's best for your skin and always makes me feel comfortable during my service. Her attitude is always positive and I trust her recommendations for scheduling and now that we've established a schedule my waxes are little to no pain and leave me feeling flawless. read more

I've been seeing Keelin for several months now for eyebrow and lip waxing. Keelin has CHANGED my eyebrows for the better!! My eyebrows were not shaped properly, had bare spots and were not properly arched. After 3 months, my eyebrows look amazing. I'm 60 years old and I didn't think my eyebrows would fill in like they did - I'm thrilled I found her - can't recommend her enough. Thanks! read more

Came in today for a Brazilian wax and it was a great experience. Victoria was absolutely great! The wax they use is not that hard plastic feel wax. It's the honey soft feel one. It's painful, but way better than other places I've been. Thank you Victoria!!! See you soon read more

This place is good for a quick, last minute wax or cleanup. I wish I hadn't prepurchased so many sessions though. I've had great experiences so far with staff, but I've experienced a lot of breakage and ingrown hair in my bikini area that I've never had in my 10 years of receiving service elsewhere. I started coming here because I moved out of Chicago and this place is 5 minutes from my home. Curious, I went back to my old spot for my last wax and the girl noticed right away. But I'm stuck here until I've used up my prepaid services. It's also more expensive than anywhere else I've gone. Everyone else's Brazilian includes the butt strip and the occasional lower stomach if needed. Here, both cost extra and are considered separate services. read more

This location is amazing! The staff is super friendly and the service is great! Lexee does a great job!

Really amazing service! Such kind staff! I was with Yesenia who did a great job! She was super fun to talk to and very professional. I will be back!! read more

Very sleek clean new waxing salon. Private rooms, black chandeliers and overall modern vibe. Stopped in for an eyebrow wax without an appointment and was in a room 3 minutes later. Fast! Emily explained the 4 step process and it was a quick and almost painless eyebrow wax! I like that they lean towards using products with essential oils like lavender and jojoba. The wax is a hard wax and its a pretty gentle but effective formula. Last step... Some kind of soothing lotion. My brows were just a tiny bit pink... Almost normal though. I would definitely go back to Emily. My brows look great! Brow wax is $18. A bit steep. I would be more comfortable in the $12 to $15 range for brows. Bikini wax starts at $33. They do arms, back, legs, etc... Minus one star for the frigid temps. 67 degrees in the waxing room was a bit chilly for my taste. read more

I was hesitant as I didn't know anyone that has went to the ELmhurst location or were not familiar with any of the specialist. I've been alternating between waxing and shaving over the last 20 years. My last 2 experiences of Brazilian waxing was horrible at other facilities. From the moment you step in the door the staff was pleasant. Everyone wore mask but the front desk area is small so you can do contactless check in. The site was clean! The specialist Emily was excellent and made me feel comfortable all the way through the process. she was knowledgeable and friendly. I'll definitely be back to see her and would recommend her. read more

Angela is a magician. My eyebrows have been out of pocket since COVID and I feel like a woman again. And the Brazilian was *borderline* painless. She made everything quick and easy and her technique lessened the ingrown after too? I can't imagine going anywhere else for anything waxed. Whether it's to shape my eyebrows or a quick and easy Brazilian/under arm/ mustache - I just trust her to do the best job. read more

I had the pleasure of Emma being my esthetician for my Brazilian. First time in a couple years, so needless to say, I was very anxious about it. She made me feel so comfortable, and gave me time when I needed to prepare for the next pull. After only 1 wax, so clean and barely any hairs left behind. I am so happy I decided to come here for my wax and will definitely continue scheduling with Emma. Thanks girly!! read more

Rachel is amazing. I've been coming to her for a year now, and I still remember how at peace she made me feel my first time. I was super nervous but she made sure I was comfortable. A year later, I still continue to come see her and appreciate how professional and engaging she is. read more

I went today for my first Brazilian wax and Keelin is awesome! She's so sweet and makes you feel comfortable and she makes the process easy! She did a great job! read more

I got my eyebrows waxed on Monday. Right away, I noticed an odd pain on my eye lid but just figured It would go away. A few hours and even 2 days later, my eye lids hurt!! The girl I had was super nice but holy crap! She put the wax basically all the way down to my eye lashes and now my eye lids are scabbed! And my wedding is in 3 days! read more

European Wax Center - I got my eyebrows waxed on Monday, my wedding is in 3 days! The girl I had was super nice but holy crap! Who puts the wax this low?! - Waxing Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

Ommgg!!! Please go see CRISTIE if you need anything, I mean anything, waxed. I have gone to her many times and I always leave feeling better than ever! She not only gets rid of every little unwanted hair, but makes you feel like you are her best friend. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!! read more

I had the pleasure of having Emma and she was great. She made me feel comfortable. Asked me to be open and I sure was. She talked me they my first time Brazilian in over a year with me having a baby and quarantine. By the way the ingrown hair serum is amazing I see a difference in days. I will be coming back and I'm a ui ally looking forward to it. read more

Alexandra was amazing!! First timing visiting and she really gave a lot of info. My previous wax person never really told me what was best for my skin. Zero pain get my Brazilian wax!! read more

First time wax service is 1/2 off. The prices are very reasonable! Total kudos for that. So Elinor comes out and calls my name, I follow her to the room and she instructs me on what a Brazilian wax is. Now to my understanding a Brazilian wax is EVERYTHING unless you want a landing strip or triangle. Awesome, right? I said everything removed but a triangle. I trusted the aesthetician, that the service was complete. So I buy the serum for after care. I go home and go and check myself out. To my disbelief she had left so much hair. I went through all of that and I ended up having to sit with a mirror and pluck tons of hair! So I had to complete the job and put myself through more pain. I will not be going back. There has to be another location in which there is more attention to detail. Not the best first experience but it's definitely a learning one. ***** I would like to clarify what I mean by "she left so much hair". The labial parting had patches of hair. The perineum had patches of hair. Before my service the hair growth was at 3 weeks suffice to say that it wasn't stubble.***** read more

I'm gonna give this 5 stars for now because I've yet to have a bad experience here! After my "ripped skin" review of a certain wax center who rebutted my visit... I've decided to come back here. I've gone about out 4 times each time they have been nice, accommodating, prompt, and swift. They haven't attempted aggressively upsaling me, the girls have been nice, the pricing has been good and I appreciate that. read more

Definitely would recommend Lexee for all waxing services. I have been going to EWC for some time now and it honestly is very convenient and great service. Lexee great is very informative when it comes to upkeep and ways to keep your waxes long lasting. She's awesome! Def recommend getting the wax passes as well- they're pricey but worth it in the long run! read more

I had my eyebrows waxed and the lady did a good job, but after I paid and left I had a real bad pain under my eyebrow. I thought it was from just being waxed and sensitive, but a few hours later the pain didn't stop and when I looked in the mirror I noticed a red spot that eventually started to scab the next day. Its a small spot, but the pain is awful. I was visiting from out of town so I didn't have time to go back, but I will be calling. I will NOT RECOMMEND this place. read more

European Wax Center - The lady that did my eyebrows burned me. After I paid and left I noticed the burn. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! It's small but painful! - Waxing Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

I initially made an appointment with Emily, because of the good reviews on here, but was treated by Iris, who was awesome as well. With the special wax that the center uses, this was seriously the least hurtful Brazilian that I have ever gotten. The techniques are similar to what I experienced in one of the waxing centers in Europe back in the days. Iris explained all the steps she took and all the products she used prior and after the treatment. Because of the oils and baby powder prior to the waxing, there is no residual wax sticking on the skin afterwards at all (WHICH HAPPENED TO ME ALL THE TIME AT A SMALLER BUSINESS I WENT TO AT SCHOOL!) I would definitely go back for another wax either in Elmhurst or any of the other EWCs in the city (if their service is as promising as here). PS: You get 50% off for your first Brazilian. Eyebrow, Underarms and Bikini Waxes are for free I think. read more

Emily was fabulous. I've been to European wax center in each state that I've lived in. It always takes a few tries to find the best person at each location. I was about to give up on the Elmhurst location when I searched the Yelp reviews and saw people talk about Emily. I went today and I can honestly say it was the quickest and least painful Brazilian wax I have experienced. I will be booking all services with Emily moving forward. read more

Kay is amazing! So sweet and very gentle!!! highly recommend

It's good if you just need a quick wax. But if you're looking for someone to be thorough and get all the hairs, don't go here i bought the wax pass and they always miss a big portion of my Brazilian. Anyway... I would rather go far and get a better brazilian, and just go here for my underarms. read more

I'm a long client of the European Wax Center franchise since when I lived in N.J. and since moving to the Chicagoland area...in the northwest suburbs...I've tried 3 different locations...and have had a bad experience in each one of them...until I came to this location. I have to drive about 40 minutes to get here...but it's worth it. From the courteous front desk that never give me an attitude...and ALWAYS understand if I have to reschedule last minute due to my very busy schedule...to the understanding wax technicians and the icing on the cake is the owner, Karen, I believe her name is. I happened to meet her one day at the front desk..and immediately realized she must be the owner....she is so easy to talk to...understanding and you just feel like you walked into a family place where 'everybody knows your name' I am extremely happy with this place and if you place customer service as a priority at the places you choose...this is the place you want to go to . read more

I had an Esthetician in the city I had used for years. She retired and the salon ticked me off one time too many. Time for a change. I have passed this place many times before.Looked at reviews and decided to give it a try. Very clean,very professional. Nice. Abbey took care of me. She explained every step and why. She did a great job. I have to say,it was the most painless waxing I have ever had. You get points for prebooking,discounts for referrals and can buy package deals! More than I ever got at the place I used to go to! Give them a try! read more

The ease of booking, their first time customer promotion, and the fact that they got all the hairs, makes me give this place 2 stars. I got the lip wax with free underarm was done. She waxed my upper lip 6 times!! I have sensitive skin which I mentioned in the comments during my online booking. Waxing over the same area multiple times caused my skin to rip off in multiple places, similar to other pictures people posted of their brows. I also HAD a skin tack on one of my underarms which the technician ripped off with wax!! I knew something was wrong when that side was burning more than the other side. I know that it's common for skin tacks to be ripped off by waxing, but it was bleeding! If I hadn't gone home immediately and checked, there could have been a possibility of an infection. The technician should have told me immediately what had happened AT THE VERY LEAST if they are not trained to handle wounds. Very unprofessional and will not be going back. read more

This is a new waxing place in Elmhurst. I just got my eyebrows done and it was the best experience I've had. It barely hurt and it was quick and easy. I also didn't come out with big puffy pink eyebrows afterwards which was awesome lol. They didn't use the cloth strips they use like the peel off wax which was nice and different. Now if it's your first time going it's complimentary I believe but when you pay it's $18. I would come back though. read more

I've been going to the Elmhurst location since summertime and overall have had a great experience. The space is very clean. The girls at the front desk are friendly and welcoming. Lexee has been doing my waxes the past few times and she is awesome! Very professional and attentive to any questions or concerns I may have. I love that after each wax she makes sure nothing got missed and that I am 100% happy with the result. Definitely recommend! read more

I've been coming to this location for the past 2 years, and their services are awesome! I've seen Lexee for my past 3 Brazilian waxes, she is a very experienced waxer and makes the experience almost painless! The salon is very clean and staff is extremely welcoming! read more

I have been seeing Korina for a couple months now and I always have a great experience! I get my eyebrows and lip waxed and leave feeling absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend see her. read more

I saw Rosie today and she was beyond amazing. It's so great to walk in and see an absolutely sparkling clean room. Rosie made sure my wax was painless and super fast. I highly recommend her and this location in particular. Everyone here is experienced and SO FAST. read more

It's ok if u need a quick wax!!! But me trying to explain to the waxer what I wanted‍ she goes on to tell me how she knows what shes doing & she been doing it for 8 yrs..smdh.. after it was all over I noticed she left hair and I'm trying to tell her, she acted like she was doing me a favor by going over the area again and also rushed it because she told me she was out of time. For 60 dollars ... I'll just keep going back on Madison st in the city where I feel like I'm not being rushed with my services.... Not happy at all read more

Great location! The waxers are very nice and professional. The front desk staff is also welcoming. The establishment is clean, always when we are there. We have tried the products they sell and not a big fan of them. They do not give a student discount anymore, that's a shame. They have packages for students to buy though and you pay monthly. read more

I have been going for some time and the staff is wonderful. Very friendly and professional. Also, love their products.

Being as this was my first time here, I was surprised at how amazing and comfortable it was. I was recommended Emily by a friend and I'm super glad that I was! I came in for brows and a Brazilian (ahh!) and I was super nervous. Emily made the experience almost educational. She thought me so much during the process and was very kind and friendly. First time service was half off which was awesome as well. The center is also very clean and cute. Don't be nervous! Go see Emily. read more
