Have any of you ever been

To a European wax center? Sorry if this is TMI. What was your experience with them? Or where do you girls go to get waxed? TIA...

Re: Have any of you ever been

  • I go to UniK Wax Center, and have waxed bikini, eyebrows, upper lip, underarms, and legs (up to knees)... but only do the first 3 often.  I go to the center in Pinecrest... if that is near you, I can recommend my "stylist."

  • I looooove Uni-K! Their service is the best.

  • Nope its not near me I'm in Boca. I found this European wax center and they have really good prices and they use "strip less wax" plus you get either a free underarm, Bikini or eyebrow wax at your fist visit and you dont have to purchase anything.
  • I'll have to check and see if there is one near me.

  • I think Ceventa has been to the European Centers.  I think that as long as it is "strip less" I'd give it a ty.

    UniK is a franchise, so there may be one near you!

  • I just checked to see and the closest one to Boca is in Ft Lauderdale. off of federal.
  • I go to Uni K in Miami Lakes. The lady is great and gentle.

     

    Coco - does the underarms hrt? I have been wanting to try it.

    I've been wanting to do it for the longest, but have been the biggest chicken sh*t b/c a waxist told me that it was the area for the most pain.  I figured, dude, the bikini hurts a lot, so imagine the underarms!

    But I finally gave in last month and did it before my trip, and I have to say it wasn't as bad as the bikini (not sure if you can compare).  But then again, my lady had wax all over me and spread the pain out pretty well!  I left there sweating LOL

  • I think thats what I'm going to get done for free and that will tell me if I like the place or not. I'm scared to get my bikini done, b/c I tried to do it myself once and it was so bad that I only did one side...lol
  • I love European Wax Center. I used to go to Uni-K but I would always end up burnt and what not. I have never had a problem with European Wax

    thanks Yocy! The strip less means they don't use the cloth or paper strips right? how do they rip it off? 

  • The wax dries and turns into the strip. Its better because alot of the pain you feel when they rip it is actually the paper not grabbing the wax correctly so it pulls up the wax not off. Here the pain is minisucle.

    I completely agree.  However, I think we are spoiled down here w/ these chain wax centers.  I've seen polls online before asking how much people pay for bikini, and I've seen some ladies pay up to $100!  W/ most paying around $60-75!

  • Thats crazy I talked to a lady that lives in NYC and she pays less then that. I wonder if there just isn't a demand for it in some places so they jack up the price? I think I would just leave it if I had to pay that much so something that painful...lol
  • I have been to both Uni K and Green Wave Body waxing here in Weston.  I prefer Green Wave by far...I think they have a Boca location.  They have promotions for first-timers as well.
  • Thanks griff I'll check them out.

     i didn't realize how spoiled I was until I moved to Austin.  I guess because the are seasons here and people just usually wax around summertime, the prices are higher.  Also, I noticed its just not as common around here.  I asked on my local nest board about it and not that many people even knew of places to go to.  Whenever I visit my parents, I end up making an appt at the one in Weston.  I refuse to pay as much as a haircut for that.

  • Happy waxing! LOL

    I've been going to UniK on recommendation from the nesties and its been great. I think European Wax Center is about the same though. Your gonna see, it's addicting.

  • Yeah I wouldn't pay much more for a hair cut. but even $65 for just a haircut is a lot, maybe thats why I'm having a hard time finding a place to get that done too.
  • I use European Wax Center.  I am happy with it. Has anyone been able to compare them to Uni K and Green Wave or are they the same?  I am curious to know of any differences. I have noticed the increase in wax centers in Broward!
