Time to update my review because I got a new waxer, Lianna. Still loving their newer location (from them moving down the block). I did not have an appointment but was still able to be seen on a Thursday afternoon. My service was quick, (fairly) painless and friendly! read more

Uni K Wax-Brooklyn Heights - Waxing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

I've been coming to this location since 2021 and have always loved my service. I've booked with Sami G for the past year and i absolutely LOVE HER. It took me a while to finally find an esthetician that consistently delivered flawless results without me having to double check for stubborn hairs that were missed. She's the sweetest and really takes her time to make sure you're satisfied with the results before she leaves the room. Needles to say I'm a happy returning customer. read more

I hadn't waxed in a year and a half since giving birth to my son, but Mahima made the experience amazing. Her technique is nearly painless, and she's incredibly kind. She also helps ease any anxiety you might have. If you go, be sure to ask for Mahima, she's fantastic! read more

The front desk staff is always polite, I really like my waxer, Maya, but it would be really nice if they would clean the floors. I don't know if they have ever been vacuumed or mopped inside the waxing room. I cringe when I take off my shoes and have to walk on the floor in my socks. I always make an appointment, but I've seen people walk in and not have to wait too long. read more

I was surprised to find so many waxing deals in NYC! A lot of them were at independent salons and I felt a little better going to a chain. They had a great deal for first-time visitors. This location is on a quiet block, the ambiance felt like a mix of corporate signage and someone's home. It very much felt like a get in/get out and keep costs down type of place with the walls that didn't go up to the ceiling, I could hear all the conversations on the other side of the door. This could be good or bad depending on what you prefer, overall I found it okay for the price but nothing stood out that would compel me to return. read more

Wow not sure why I haven't given my five star review yet. This is a special dedication to Parbita who has been holding it down for years. I know I'm being dramatic but what should be a VERY painful experience is only mildly (ok very) uncomfortable because Parbita has magic hands. Just go here and ask for her. You won't regret it. Plus, they offer packages, their wax is natural, and it's a very clean and welcoming space. read more

The studio is clean but my waxer was 7 minutes late and the wax appointment ended up feeling rushed... it was very painful for me and wished she could have took some more time to prep me. I got a Brazilian wax. When I left I had some extra hairs that were still there and had to clean it up myself at home. read more

Usually the service here is okay but I would advise to never see Vanita! She's rude. Opened the door while I was undressed and would not leave when asked. She then asked me to leave that she would take someone else because she wouldn't leave the room. To say the least it was humiliating and unnecessary. Avoid her at all cost and you should have a pleasant experience read more

I have to say this place is always always clean and spotless. Its impressionable for every client that walks in here. I had Sudha yesterday and she was absolutely phenomenal. I used to go to a location Uptown on the East Side however after switching jobs I have returned back to the Brooklyn Heights location. I have to say not every esthetician is great or as gentle or cares about making you comfortable to this (yes, traumatic) experience. Beauty does hurt but it doesn't have to everytime lol. I used to only book my appointments with Laura but I see she is no longer at this location. I wish she would come back but wherever she is I am sure she is doing a phenomenal job. read more

Writing this review after receiving service the same day. A relative of mine always go here so I decided to check it out. Loved it! It was my first wax. I got the Full Brazilian (front and back). Brave, right? I was able to get an appointment the same day. That actually surprised me because I was expecting to see dates that were days later or a week ahead. But luckily got it the same day. I got there exactly at my appointment time. I suggest getting there ON TIME. Checked in immediately and waited less than a minute. Everyone was kind. This was my first ever Brazilian so trust me I was nervous af. My wax lady was super kind and understanding. She conversed with me to help distract from the pain. We laughed mostly. Turns out I have a high pain tolerance. I mean... yeah it hurts for 3 seconds but it's bearable. Results were really good. I booked my next appointment before I left. Omw I texted my best friend and recommended this place to her. read more

I came here for my very first wax down there. I got a Brazilian. I also got free underarms because it was my first time there. Underarms were fine. Pain in the moment, but doesn't last. Now for down there: she used a hard wax. And it was painful in the moment. But it was also my first time ever; so to be expected. Mahima was a doll. She was so kind and was understanding of my pain. As I grabbed her arm during the most painful parts she would say: don't worry, im here. It was so kind and endearing. Very nice to have that sort of care when you are super nervous!! I will be back and I will always ask for her. read more

Came here on a Friday after booking a same day appointment online. They have 10% off for 1st time customers ($53 prediscountr) which I took advantage of. It's easily accessible from the Nevins street station. I filled out my paperwork online in advance to save time and touching a communal clip board lol. I was quickly taken back for my full Brazilian wax. The rooms are well kept and they provide a sanitary wipe before you get started. The entire wax container is brought in so I assume each person gets a fresh batch as they reuse the sticks they use to wax. My water was very kind and let me know when to breath. It had been a while so it wasn't painless but wasn't terrible she also went back over places as needed. They do ask you to turn over to get the back which I'm not a fan of but it gets the job done. My water offered me an ice pack afterward which was a first for me and pretty nice. They had a Stewart flow of customers, referral program, and clean facilities so I would return! read more

Uni K Wax-Brooklyn Heights - Waxing room when you first enter - Waxing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Just got my full frontal brazillian with Sudha K. The place was very clean and organized. Everyone wore masks and kept their distance. I entered the facility and checked myself in at the kiosk. Which was very quick. I waited a minute and was greeted by Sudha. She was very nice and welcoming. We went to our room and it was very clean and organized. The massage table had a cleansing wipe. I got undressed and the waxing process was almost painless and very quick. Sudha was thorough and communicated during the waxing. She made sure I was comfortable and asked if I was okay. I highly recommend Sudha. read more

Always a solid wax, sometimes better than other times I go but appointments easy to book and the price is on par and it's clean

3 years later, still coming to Laura. The phone system is incredibly annoying, online booking is better than it used to be and there front desk staff often messes things up or doesn't answer, still worth the hassles for service with Laura though honestly. read more

I'm only giving this place 2 stars because the waxers are semi-polite, however the front desk team is consistently rude and have no manners. Every time I visit it's always attitude from them. This last time I went, I asked them if they had tap and pay and they were about to tell me no when someone who I believe is management told me yes. They instantly began to talk in a different language which was off putting to me. Needless to say, I paid and did not care to tip because I am tired of the poor treatment at this location and will be leaving poor reviews moving forward for each occasion read more

Came for a Brazilian wax. It was painless, but that's because the hairs broke off from the hard wax rather than because it was pulled properly. Hair started growing back after two days read more

I've been going here for a few months with a variety of waxers and have left extremely pleased. Yesterday I did a walk in for eyebrows for a shaping/clean up, I understand it was busy but the appointment felt very rushed. Once I got home I checked and realized majority of the tail of my eyebrow was gone and was very narrow compared to what I went in with. I would of appreciated a heads up so we could discuss if that was the direction the style was going in. Will likely not be returning. read more

First time getting my wax here & it was a pleasant experience, I had Laura & she did a great job. I will definitely be back

I usually go to the east village location but I didn't wanna travel far today since I'm based in Brooklyn...UMMMMM this place was amazing! The atmosphere was so friendly and comfortable as well as clean! I had chose Laura for my Brazilian and she was the best! Made me comfortable, had a great conversation the entire time and was fast with the painful process! 10/10!! Can't wait to go back for my next appointment read more

O m g. I had Ashanti and this was the absolute least painful wax I've ever had! I don't know what magic she did, but I didn't feel a thing. She was also very pleasant and made conversation, which was nice. Only con is, I had a good deal of wax left after the service and would've wanted just a little more hair removal. Otherwise, it was quick and painless ordeal. She made it such an easy process. read more

Uni K Wax-Brooklyn Heights - Waxing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Horrific service. Terrible communication. So aloof and disrespectful to new customers. I had booked a touch up service online as a new customer. It is not communicated that this service is only offered to Uni K customers, it only said those who have had a wax in the last 14 days (which fit my situation). This discrepancy was brought up with such attitude and when I questioned if this could be clearer online, I received an eye roll and no willingness to have a conversation on the topic. They demanded I pay for a full service, when this is clearly not what I booked. There was also the issue of my appointment showing up as a different day and time online. They talked to me like I was stupid and wrong, when really it was just a tech glitch. This could have been dealt with swiftly had they not been so aloof and had a nasty attitude. This caused me to walk out. This is the one and only negative review I have ever left on Yelp - I strongly suggest avoiding Uni K, this location specifically. read more

This was my first time getting a Brazilian wax, and I gotta day it was kind of brutal (although I hear it gets better). Anyway, the place is very nice. From the lobby to the room, everything was clean. The front desk associate was kind. I was waxed by Parbati. I wouldn't recommend her for your first time. I would've really liked to be talked through the process and maybe even given some after care tips. Other than that she's quick and efficient, I'd recommend for someone who is familiar with how a wax goes. I had to tweeze a few hairs when I got home. Also, an ice pack when I got home really helped calm everything down. Overall, it was a decent experience. If I go again I'll probably look for someone I can be more comfortable with. read more

I was in and out in like 10 minutes! Fantastic experience, great value, friendly, clean. I don't think I'll go anywhere else for waxing.

WARNING THEY DOUBLE DIP (Corona 19) New to the neighborhood so I was looking for a new wax place so I booked here. Wax was fast. I still had Visual hair not only that in the middle of my wax I realized the lady was double dipping.NEVER CHANGED THE STICK. After she removed the wax out the room just to put it back when a new client enter the room. After my wax I Received a text asking how was my service. I I told them about the hair and double dipping. They then offer me to come right back for another free wax which I refuse because of double dipping it's not safe and it's Corona 19 going on I would not recommend this place. read more

I got a chin wax and she put the wax mostly on the front of my chin, while I was hoping for under on my chin line only. Half of it is smooth and the other half has fine grains on the base of my chin. Now I'm concerned coarse hair will grow on the front of my chin now which I never had before and never waxed before. When I looked in the mirror I saw a few hairs on my chin line which I had to ask her to pluck, she said that was considered the neck. That's something that should be offered as an upgrade at an additional cost, at least offer while I'm in service don't just totally ignore it. I won't be returning which is unfortunate because I like the actual wax they use but I did not like the way the service was conducted. read more

Very good first waxing experience here. Clean, quick and comfortable. I'll definitely come back.

Get Sudha, she's great and her sense of humor makes the process more bearable. The booking process is straight forward. I will come back since my nail salon is also right around the corner. read more

This is a review of my experience with the front desk receptionist. There is a guy that works there that is really unfriendly and irritable. Otherwise I've had great experiences with my waxes. If this was my first time at Uni then I would have turned away solely on his off putting demeanor. read more

Haven't had a wax for three years because of the pandemic but really investigate the folks that you want waxing you because this is very much an odd studio where not all the waxers are the same read more

Parbati burned the skin on my kneecap and acted as if nothing happened. I couldn't figure out why my kneecap kept hurting and then I noticed the skin started to scab. There were also hairs left on my kneecap which leads me to believe she knew. Another issue with that visit: the new front-desk attendant felt it ok to open the door without even knocking! Surprising both the practitioner and I. The visit prior to my last was a full face with Lori and she saw many hairs and left them. When she realized that I was checking the work she stopped me and "finished" the already done service. Not to mention Lori's room reeked of coffee (it was an evening appointment). In the 2 years I've been going there or my decade of visiting different establishments, NEVER was I bombarded with the smell of coffee in the service room. Seriously, if it's not Payal, don't bother. I'm a fan of the location in Flatiron. Although I had a practitioner answer her phone once in the middle of the service, the quality of the service itself was quick and thorough. I will be going there if I cannot book with Payal. read more

Where should I start ??? I haven't had a wax in a while and girl let me tell u . My waxer B (can't spell her name) but she was wonderful . She took her time & she knows what she's doing . Like the wowed me on the walk in , so nice & clean , people friendly . Trust I've been to other waxing spots but this spot beats all of them out the box . I think I found a new home to get my full Brazilian Bikini Wax !!!!! #WaxOnWaxOff read more

Very disappointed with the service here. I booked a brazilian and 1/2 inner thigh. I don't even think I got the inner thigh service at all. I also was burned and after had red and swelling everywhere that had been waxed. I called to see if I could be helped or get a refund but they said they could only do something if I came into the store. The location is out of the way and doesn't work for me to go in with my work schedule. read more

After reading many reviews and hearing how great this place is I decided to give it a try I must say I am impressed. I had an appointment and was ushered in , in a timely manner. I was very comfortable and love how clean everything is. I have already recommended this place to some friends already and is looking forward to my next visit. read more

Never have I ever gotten a pain free Brazilian wax until yesterday. I've heard good things about Uni-K but never gone there. Decided to do it as I was going to a beach vacation. From the check in process to the actual waxing, everything was so smooth (pun intended). Rooms are clean and the whole vibe of the place is just so zen. Never though hair removal will actually be this pleasant. Definitely going back there read more

Yassss, a clean waxing center that doesn't feel like hell-fire when you get a brazillian! I had such an enjoyable experience. They allowed me to make an appointment last minute and were just so kind. Payal was a pleasure to be around and did everything quickly and carefully. I had been going to EWC but the last time I went I left with so many ingrown hairs I decided to try somewhere new. As she was waxing me I became so mad I had ever spent time and money at any other waxing center. The pain was totally tollerable! Literally the least painful wax I have ever had. I smiled the entire time. At EWC I had to cover my eyes and focus to calm my breathing, here I was a chatterbox of delight. ALSO, they put a fan on your privates to cool them off while you're getting waxed. A PERSONAL COOCHIE FAN?? WHAT?? Awesome. Telling all of my friends to go here and ditch their other places. Oh yeah, also? It's cheaper. 5 stars y'all. read more

My cousin found this place via yelp. After A lot of thinking we decided to go and experience waxing for the 1st time. The thought of hair removal we all know is a painful thing. However, this was a great place that takes their time with you. Wax was just the perfect temp, the pain wasn't bad at all and the after result was great. Can't wait for them to open the location by my job read more

My first time ever trying UniKwax and I have to say I had the best experience with Thania. She was extremely kind and patient, made my comfortable and before I knew it my full Brazilian wax was all done, smooth and all the hair was removed as I wanted, including the hair on my underarms. Definitely will be back! Thanks Thania :) !! read more

The "joys" of moving is that you have to find all the businesses near you to take care of the usual daily living maintenance - dry cleaning, the local cafe, etc. I tried out several different waxing places. Most of them were great in terms of service, quickness, and minimum hurt, but really hurt me on price. Finally I settled on Uni K to take care of me. It costs more than what I used to pay, but it's cheaper than other places. I had Laura and she was very good. The sting barely registered and I was done before I knew it. Another nice thing about Uni K is that they don't hassle you about buying products or scheduling a future appointment. read more

Go to Rachel! She was quick, professional and painless. I assume the way she remove the wax is different from other technicians. She's got a skill. It was the best painless experience ever. read more
