Every girl has head it before, "this wax is the best" "it won't hurt that much because the wax is so awesome", and every time they are lying. Brazilians hurts like hell. But after looking online (because I was in the area) I found European Wax Center and it had good reviews. So I did the whole thang. I was a new client, there was a great special, (%50 off your first Brazilian!) and then all I had to do was wait for my specialist. Ali came out, great energy and smile, and took me back to the room. And again there was the "this is great wax" conversation. Like always I nodded and smiled knowing full well that I was still going to want to die from how painful it was going to be, BUT then she started. She explained everything to me and I literally had to look down just to make sure she was even doing it! I mean of course there were a few small ouch moments, how could there not be, but I was blown away that for the first time in my life they weren't lying. The wax WAS AMAZING and Ali made me feel like I was her new best friend. It was over before I even knew it. Honestly I feel like everyone probably thought I was crazy because I couldn't stop raving about how amazing and "pain free" (as pain free as waxing can get) it was. I highly recommend Ali and I highly recommend European Wax Center!! read more

I was burned for the final time at this location. I've been coming here for years and things were really good when Lorna was the manager and when she was a wax specialist. Over the last few months, though, I have been consistently burned. The first occasion I actually called and complained to which they told me that waxer had since been fired. It had been less than a week, but okay. They said they'd put a note on my account to keep the wax temperature lower. I have to say, I went with Ashley after this and she is great. She is probably the best waxer at this location. She's nice to talk to and is no BS. She knows what she's doing. Unfortunately her schedule doesn't really work with mine so I've booked with whoever is available. Pretty unfortunate I'd say because I continue to get burned but this last time was really bad. Thankfully I'm not scarred but my skin was not just red, but was peeling from the temperature of the wax. Before it started peeling it was flakey, which was pretty scary. I texted the center asking for a call from the manager. She did call but I missed it- when I followed up via text she never answered. That just shows the kind of managerial staff is hired here and how the leadership trickles down to the waxers. I have been in a management position in a gym before and I would continue to follow up if I didn't hear back from someone who got hurt or injured. I have since cancelled future appointments at this location. I would have asked for a refund on my wax pass but I never even got the chance to ask. When you spend over $500 on a package, you should be getting quality service... or at least a call back/ follow up text. BTW, she gave me her personal cell phone number to call and never answered. When I called a different location and let them know I need the wax temperature lower, they said that it's standard procedure not to keep it too hot and were shocked at what I told them. Thankfully I can use the wax pass at any location, which is exactly where I'm taking my business, somewhere other than the Plainview location. read more

Clean, quick wax, friendly and water. The ladies at the front desk are really nice. I'll for sure be back!

Amazing experience with Lexie. I went in for the first time for a Brazilian wax and she walked me through the whole process and made me feel comfortable at all times. She was very sweet and I definitely recommend to book with her. The receptionists were very welcoming as well. Very friendly staff! read more

I looked at the glowing reviews of Amanda on here so I decided to book an appointment with her. I have been getting waxed for over 10 years and let me tell you she was 11/10! She was friendly, quick and painless. I came on my lunch break and she got me in and out in 8 minutes. It was very refreshing to have such a great experience. Deff book with Amanda! read more

Amanda is the "girl" to go to!! She's amazing. I did bikini wax for the first time and she's the reason why I am going to do my 2nd,3rd and forever wax. read more

I had to write a review for Amanda. I was sooo nervous to go and get a Brazilian wax because it's been a long time since my last one. From the greeting she was the sweetest and nicest person ever. She made me feel so comfortable and I must say she did such a great job that it hardly hurt!!! I was in shock! I will only be coming here and going to Amanda from now on! read more

I had my wax today at EWC with Amanda and let's just say I walked in and did in-fact strut out ! Thank you for the Amazing, quick and almost painless service. !! Amazing read more

You HAVE to go visit AMANDA for your Brazilian wax! She is a wax queen! From her amazing energy to her professionalism and expertise, she's your girl! I haven't got waxed in 10 years so I was very nervous especially Brazilian wax but she changed that as soon as she started. I was done in less then 10 minutes and I rate the pain level a 2 out of 10. I'm definitely coming back for another session. read more

Wow. First time with Amanda and she was INCREDIBLE. She did the Brazilian wax so FAST!? I was in and out in 10 minutes. She truly is so incredible and deserves a promotion/raise for how incredible she is. 10/10 coming back every month just for Amanda. THANK YOU!!! read more

Be aware of this location, went in for an eyebrow waxing and came out with parts of my hair on my head being cut and ripped out as the technician dropped wax on my head. I wasn't even told what was going on until I heard her cutting strains of my hair. I highly recommend caution with this location !! read more

First time here today and Amanda was the absolute best!!! I was going to another waxing center where they took 45 min for a Brazilian and it was painful. Was looking for something close to home and read through all of the amazing reviews about Amanda so I booked with her. It felt like I knew her for years! She is so personable and makes you feel very comfortable immediately. Not to mention I was done with eyebrows and a Brazilian in 15 minutes, pain free! She did exactly what I wanted with my eyebrows and no hair was left behind with the Brazilian!Couldn't believe how painless the Brazilian was as compared to what I was experiencing elsewhere. You can tell Amanda knows what she is doing and is super experienced and professional. Everything was sanitized and very clean too. Highly recommend!! read more

Went for a full face wax a few days ago and walked out with a burn very close to my eye - with hair still present on my face as you can see in picture uploaded. So not only did she burn me and try to reassure me it was just redness and would go away but she failed to do what I had paid for. I paid $60 for a horrible job and a red burn near my eye and a rash above my lip. The burn is better than the day after now but still hurts when I was it. I am very disappointed with this service and would never ever go back to this "professional salon." First and last time. I would give 0 stars if I could. The least they could do is refund me my money for this terrible service. Update: Franny, the manager, reached out to me and tried to resolve the situation. She was very apologetic on behalf of the salon. So just for her great customer service I am giving 3 stars! read more

Amanda is a GEM. Brazilian and underarm in and out in ten minutes. Couldn't recommend her more. Even gave me lots of tips and tricks for dealing with ingrowns. Otherwise, clean and front desk was sweet ! read more

Go see Ravii! She is so chill and sweet and made me feel so comfortable throughout my Brazilian wax. Great experience, highly recommend for any type of wax services. Their proprietary wax is definitely a game changer! read more

I am 9 months pregnant and due any day and I haven't had a wax in a while and Ravi made it less painful than I thought it would be. I will def be returning and found my new wax girl! read more

Melissa is the best! Been going to her for over a year, she makes me feel comfortable and is very efficient and gentle. Highly recommend this place, they have deals at various times throughout the year. I usually buy passes at a time when they run their buy 9 get 3 free promotion ( usually in December). The place is clean, everyone is professional, they send text reminders for your appointments and they have hard wax that hurts less , what more can you ask for. Melissa recently did my eyebrows and I am considering ditching my threading routine. They look better than they did in years. She did an amazing job shaping and making them look full. Absolutely love her! read more

Easy to get appointments.Great staff!Very clean facility.I recommend this place highly.The Manager Franny is very nice!

5 stars for Amanda!! First visit to this location since I moved and she couldn't have been more pleasant. She was extremely nice and it felt like I was hanging with one of my girlfriends! She was very quick as well and made the entire experience very comfortable. I'll definitely be returning. read more

Shout out to Blessing!!!! It honestly didn't even feel like I was sitting on a table getting a Brazilian wax! She had a great vibe and was very encouraging! Honestly never thought I would say it but I can't wait to book my next appointment with her. Thank you girl! read more

I first would like to preface this review with the fact that waxing is one of the worst experiences one usually goes through. Probably secondary to pregnancy, but I have yet to experience that traumatizing... I mean... amazing event in my life. I am generally a modest woman, and I don't exactly appreciate people seeing my nether regions. Even talking about makes me feel awkward. So letting someone put hot wax on "it", to rip out my hair from the roots while staring at my nether regions seems like the worst possible experience EVER.... LET ME TELL YOU.... they make it the MOST comfortable experience of your life. Well.... minus the pain part, but they can't help that. You can even joke about it, and they tell you how they see hairy butts, and all sorts of strange things every day, hence they are so desensitized. So if you're in the same boat.... give it a try, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! They also use Comfort Wax, so the wax they apply, is the strip they peal off, it is seriously the coolest thing EVER, I will never go to another wax center EVER again. The wax is make from 100% all natural beeswax, in case you're a fan of natural products. They use a hard wax, and they don't double dip = TOTAL PLUS. Place was spotless clean, and they even had some relaxing music. Overall, perfect experience! I look forward to returning soon! *****NOTE***** 21$ for first time customers: Brazilian FREE for first time customers: Bikini Line, Eyebrows & Underarms - They also do male & female waxing. Once you get it waxed here, you'll never go back there...... wherever "there" is. read more

I've never ever been disappointed during my visits here. I've been to a few other locations but this one takes the crown each time. I don't have a waxer that I see every time I go so I can speak regarding basically the entire staff. They're all very sweet and are very attentive to your specific needs. They always try to make you feel as comfortable as possible and they don't try to gang up on you to buy any of their products (but if you haven't tried the serum or exfoliating body wash/ exfoliating scrub- you really should give those products a try :p)! I've been consistently recommending my friends to this place and will continue to do so. Look into purchasing one of their packages! You're guaranteed to save a few bucks. read more

European Wax Center - Their newly improved product line! - Waxing Near Me - Plainview, New York

walked in on a sunny afternoon, been meaning to try this place for a while (fellow yelpers recommend)but due to my hatred of this parking lot I stayed away(yappers on their cells, ladies driving aimlessly looking for a spot,men in too expensive cars driving too fast, of course nothing to do with this waxing place. BUT I go in ...an older then me woman is talking to a apparent prior customer about future waxings her points etc. Lady is confused I continue to wait. Receptionist finally looks up at me and says Lisa? I say no so she then continues to chat , talk on phone etc finally I say eye brows? she says do you have an appointment I said no. I finally started to walk out the door and she said first waxing is free. Nice offer but I was already thinking I am going to that threading place in Hicksville speedy service no appt needed and I don't have to deal with P people their parking lot and their shops. OH MY WHY did I venture BACK into Plainview? PS lovely threading experience for 6 bucks at Aaina read more

The only good thing about the Plainview location WAS niki, now that she isn't longer there I will not be going back!! The front desk is nice and all, but what's most important is your wax specialist. They arête ally clean and the wax is painless .. P.S.. If anyone is wondering where niki is, she transferred to the merrick location.. Took a few days to figure it out but finally found where she moved to through a mutual friend. Niki is the absolute best. She makes the whole experience pain free!! And she is totally awesome! Absolutely love her read more

I had such an excellent first experience at European Wax Center in Plainview! After a 3 month recovery from the dreaded horrible wax job I received at my local nail salon, my brows needed some serious TLC! So I decided to go to European. I was greeted by a very nice receptionist. A lot of the time when you walk in to an place of beauty, in my experience the receptionist is always bratty and stuck up. That was not the case this time! I was greeted by a very nice young woman who treated me kindly. Amanda was my wax specialist. I can't say enough great things about her! First off she is excellent all around! Great personality, very attentive, asks the appropriate questions, and was very comforting. She did an amazing job on my eyebrows. She made me feel beautiful. I can't wait to go back to her for other waxing services going forward. I highly recommend going to European Wax Center in Plainview. Professional, educated, experienced and most importantly excellent customer service. read more

I've been here twice so far (and will keep coming back!) My specialist is Samantha and she's amazing! She's friendly, great conversationalist and makes sure that you're comfortable before she gets started. I go for the brazilian waxing. The first time definitely hurt like you just got hit by car. (JUST KIDDING) It was definitely painful, but tolerable. Just clench your fists together and close your eyes.. before you know it, it's done! And just like everyone says, the second time is totally less painful! (and not as much hair grows back once you start waxing) I HATE shaving! It's tedious, annoying, sometimes dangerous! I schedule my appointment every four weeks and I never have to worry about shaving the bikini area again! Phew, what a relief! Also, you do have to undress while your specialist is in the room. I know that can be an uncomfortable experience with a stranger there.. but hey! We're all grown women so it will be okay :) The staff are all super friendly, which is amazing. They also call you and send an email the day before your appointment! I definitely recommend you to check this location out, and request Samantha! You won't regret it. read more

This location is so convenient with all the parking and great stores in the center. Friendly staff and love my girl Leann (so friendly ) and always does an amazing job. Makes my brows look so natural!! read more

Still come here years later. I had left to go to the levittown location bc it was closer to home but came back because the experience was not the same. Still seeing Niki Z who's awesome and the staff is still very friendly! Worth the 15 minute drive! read more

Leann is awesome she is gentle and does everything possible to make you feel comfortable. The front staff is very nice as well! Highly recommend Leann for any of your waxing needs! read more

I was drawn in by the "First Wax is Free!" Gimmick. The receptionists are always nice and the office and wax rooms are clean. The first waxer was really nice but wasn't available when I rescheduled my appointment. The current waxer however, I feel really understands my style and what I'm looking for. I've been going to her for a few months now and I couldn't be happier. I've tried a few of the recommended products and for the price probably won't try them again but well worth trying out. Pricing for services are great too. I ended buying a wax pass after my first wax and saved some money too which is nice. I definitely recommend this location. read more

I've been coming here for quite some time and after hearing that Suzzane left, I was hesitant to book an appointment and go thru the process of finding someone I liked. But with summer rolling around the corner girls gotta do what they gotta do. So I picked up the phone just made an appt with Gia who was available that day. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. Getting a Brazilian is no cake walk and it's also on the pricey side. When I'm getting waxed obviously good service is a plus, but doing a thorough job is what matters. No one wants to go through the pain and spend that much money and go home and find out that spots were missed (& repluck). However, Gia did an amazing job at getting EVERYTHING PAINLESSLY. She went back and re-did couple of spots until she and I were satisfied. For a great job like this, the money is well worth it. read more

Ashley was so quick and efficient with my wax I was in and out within 15 minutes! I will definitely be returning. Ask for her, she does a great job. read more

I saw this place on yelp, and since they offer 1/2 off for first-time customers, I decided to give them a shot. I made an appointment and showed up 5 minutes early, and was seen right on time with no wait, which is awesome especially since I went on a Saturday. My waxer was Tiffany. She did a great job on my Brazilian wax; the pain was minimal and she was thorough and left no patches... HOWEVER, there were a couple of things that really bugged me. First off, when I have gotten a wax in the past, I am shown to my room, given a paper dress or cover, and asked to disrobe from the waist down and then the waxer leaves me alone in the room while I get undressed. This was not the case - Tiffany stayed in the room with me while I undressed and got on the table. I know she's going to see all my bits in a minute anyways, but she could have spared me the awkwardness of watching the taking-my-pants-off dance. But whatever. The worst part was that she talked the whole effing time. NONSTOP. About herself, and her family, and her sister, and her sister's vagina waxing habits, and her kid, and everything else. I peppered in a few lines but barely got a word in, not even enough to be able to tell her to please stop talking. I'm not saying she needs to be silent, but this isn't coffee with friends lady, you're waxing my netherparts, we're not homies. All in all, I left happy with the waxing job, but would prefer a little bit more professionalism from the waxer. She was extremely sweet and nice, but holy hell woman, take a breath once in a while and don't watch me get undressed, this isn't a date. read more

I've been getting waxed (eyebrows and Brazilian ) by European wax center since 2012 . I've frequented numerous locations from manhattan to new Hyde park; however, the plainview location has been the most accommodating and the absolute best, especially over the last 6 months. I highly recommend wax specialist Annmarie! Not only is she extremely personable, but she also makes the entire waxing experience as painless and comfortable as it can possibly be! Definitely book with her and you will not be disappointed ! Keep up the good work! read more

i went for a Brazilian for the first time and had my appointment with Marisol. After I told her it was my first time getting a Brazilian I felt she thought it was okay to do the bare minimum. The overall wax was quick but I still had a few hairs here and there which she didnt pluck out w the tweezers. Also at the end I had powder all. over. me. Which she didn't even clean. I had to ask her for a tissue which didn't do the job in getting the powder off of me, I didn't know how to get it off and I was too shy to ask since it was also my first time getting a Brazilian so i thought that was how it was suppose to be ? She was also rushing me to get out of the room which made me feel uncomfortable. So i dressed and left, this is where it got worse. I drove home and when i got up from my seat i see the powder got all over my car seat (since it clearly wasn't all wiped off) and when i got home i saw my favorite undies had the powder all over. It was just a big mess and i'm so disappointed with my first time at EWC. I wish Marisol could have been more patient and gave me the right tools to wipe all the powder off instead of it creating a mess like it did. read more

Came here on a friends recommendation as I had been going into the city for waxes, but getting too expensive! What a find this place is! It's very clean & everyone is friendly & accommodating. I saw Niki for a Brazilian. She was great at making you feel at ease & distracting you from a somewhat uncomfortable situation! No double dipping and their wax is all natural and very gentle, great for sensitive skin. They offer packages deals which ends up saving you money. You also accumulate points which works to save you money like a coupon. I've also been using their ingrown prevention serum and body lotion. The lotion smells great & is supposed to inhibit hair growth . The ingrown hair serum is working great. I'll definitely be back regularly! read more

I highly recommend this wax center for all your waxing needs! The girls at the desk are so friendly and really make it such a great experience! My wax specialist was Ashley and she was just amazing! Makes you feel so comfortable and is so personal! Feels like it takes 2 minutes to complete she is so quick! Me and my friend Melanie are hooked and will return in our 4 weeks! :) read more

Ashley is hands down the best specialist any EWC has to offer. She makes even the most painful waxing relatively painless and is QUICK! I hiiiiighly recommend her for all of your waxing needs! I even drive from Boston to see her because she is that good. read more

I don't know what happened to this place this past year, but it went down hill. Looks as though there might be new management. Decided not to renew my package. However one of their aestheticians,Meghan is excellent so i just would go to her. Then I called today and was told she is no longer there. So now I won't go back there at all. read more

I love my waxer! I was so hesitant to try Brazilian wax... But Taylor made me feel comfortable, it didn't take long at all & did not hurt as much as I expected! She educated me about my skin & which products would be good for me!!! I'm so happy with my results! Omg ladies u gotta try this, it's so much better then shaving... Ask for Taylor! read more
