Reviews of European Wax Center

Polina Blintsovskaya

The overall quality of the stripless wax was pretty good. It was less painful (for me personally, I cannot speak for others' pain sensation) than standard wax, hair came off clean, and the skin felt smooth afterwards. The reason I am giving three stars instead of five is an unfair, less-than-upfront charge I received. In a nutshell, I had booked several services, including Brazilian wax. At my session, I changed my mind about the Brazilian and the person doing the waxing removed it from the list of services done for me. However, I asked the person to remove a very small bit of hair on my lower abdomen at the edge of the bikini area. The person did this, but when I went to pay after everything was done, I was charged $40, the bikini area price, for this extra tiny bit of hair removal. I told her that I did not get the bikini area waxed, but she insisted that she has to charge me. In the end, I just paid and left, but now I regret not standing my ground against the unfair charge. I think it is ridiculous to charge a whole area's price for a tiny, one sq cm area. It's not like I asked for multiple tiny area hair removals that would merit an extra charge. But what's worse was that I was not told or warned I will be charged for this, which makes me feel like I was tricked. A business should be fully clear, honest, and upfront with clients about all charges. Later on, I called EWC to see if I could get the charge refunded, and the person I spoke with seemed understanding and said she will speak with management, but I never heard anything after that.

Sara was amazing! Not sure if she still works at the location but she was great!

Jenny Jerome

I wish I started when I was younger, well I was more consistent when I was in my twenties. Now im going every 8 weeks and already noticed my hair thinning and and the pain not being as bad as I once thought. . No need for laser 😅 …

Quick in and out all the time. I've been to this location for the last 2 years now. Friendly staff and really great prices if you get the packages. Easy peasy and local so perfect for the busy person who just needs quick processes and good prices. The manager was extremely helpful with my wax pass issue. I was working with someone else to resolve it in the past but it wasn't fixed! So 5 stars all around.

Sophia

Melissa is my girl! I feel extremely comfortable with all safety precautions they take, and love the packages they give. It’s great because if you go home for the holidays and there is a EWC near you, you can still use your package. I’ve had only pleasant experiences. I highly recommend!!

Aryel Mason

I literally love this place! From the manager, to the receptionist, to my specialist- Niki (She was patient, took her time, and super understandable!) Everyone was so welcoming and made me feel absolutely comfortable! I can't wait for my next appointment! :)

Audrey Robinson

I’ve been going to EWC DuPont Circle for almost 2 years in September I believe. Amari has been my very first waxer and I’ve been seeing her ever since. Customer service is awesome and it’s always nice talking to her as always! I don’t ever see myself ever switching a waxer anytime soon lol. The ladies at the front desk are always pleasant always. It’s so nice seeing everyone when I do come.

Asia Powell

Went in for a wax and I loved the experience from the time I walked in until the time I left. I had the amazing Sara do my wax and she was great. She walked me through the process, let me know everything she was doing, and also held great conversation while performing the wax. Went so good already scheduled another appointment to come back. Definitely recommend any first timers going to Sara.

Andriana Genualdi

Love this brand, first tried them in California and I was excited to learn that they have locations all over the country. They have great products too. I had Ashley as my esthetician on my most recent visit and she was great! I’m sorry to hear that she will be moving away soon! But, I’m sure that I will continue to get great service. The wax here is way less painful than at other places I use which makes getting waxed a much less stressful experience

Statia Thomas

The only reason I took away one star was because it sometimes impossible to make appointments here. I'm not sure if it's because the specialists have limited availability or the high demand. The place is always packed. I've found that if I have to reschedule an appointment there isn't another one available the same day. Otherwise, this place is great! The front desk staff are helpful and friendly. The space is clean. I mostly see Lana and it's always a pleasure. Krystal is also very good.

Elizabeth Foskey

Melissa was amazing! I get really nervous going in for my wax appointments and super awkward. She was chatty and help me feel less embarrassed. I was also encouraged by her story of why she became a technician. She mentioned how there was a time in her life when she wasn’t feeling good about herself and wanted to find a profession that would help encourage her and all women to feel confident and beautiful. I think it’s wonderful how European Wax Salon hires staff who are not only good at their jobs but also see the importance of empowering their staff and clients to feel beautiful and confident. Thanks again!

haNNAH Hunter

Lana was everything! Very kind and knowledgeable. The front desk staff is very professional and efficient. I was in and out within 45 minutes and that’s only because she really took her time. The experience was MUCH less painful than sugaring. I’d definitely recommend EWS.

Candidly K

All of the girls are always nice and friendly. My tech was very comforting and informative giving me tips on upkeep and skin care and making me feel comfortable and relaxed. I’ve had at least 4 different techs perform waxing services on me and the customer service is always on point no matter who I go to

Tammy Garcia

Always amazing and quick! Least expensive spot in DC and the best hands-down. Always stick with what you know ladies, you don’t want to get charged twice as much from the small boutique-like spots where they don’t even prep your skin first! Love European wax center.

Naz Rajput

I have been using European Wax Center for four years now and have tried them in about 3 different cities. They were amazing in all three. They train their staff well and are really great about listening to your issues. They use hard wax and also make sure to properly prep your skin for the waxing. I have the Brazilian done from the location in Dupont. They do an amazing job and are quick! It's not painless but waxing in general is not painless. I highly recommend getting an appointment.

Bintou Camara

They were great!! From the moment i first called and heard their greeting, when i nervously walked in for my first wax til after check out, these ladies were awesome ! You can tell they cared about their job. Professional and empathetic. If i could, 10 stars lol see y’all next time!

Allison Palmadesso

Sara was excellent! She was patient, attentive, and did a great job on my eyebrows. The store was clean, my appointment started right on time. Can't say enough positive things. I'll be back!

Kelsey Lopez

Facilities are always really clean and they do the best job cleaning up all the unwanted hair you have no matter where.... they can sometimes run a little behind but that’s usually another customers fault. They take walk ins but it’s definitely best to schedule an appointment!

Laura Devinsky

I've been to another location as well - but the DuPont location in DC is super convenient and didn't seem too packed at 515pm on a workday! My waxer was super pleasant too and patient. Really liked her and the people at the desk!

Mansitan Sow

The front desk was staffed by two really polite ladies. I had my services with Krystal. Krystal was exceptionally fast and knowledgeable. She didn't try and push product on me which I appreciated.

Rosa B

Got my second Brazilian wax here after the first time having done several years ago was not so much a great a experience. But here at EWC they exceeded my expectations! I was so surprised that it didn’t even hurt nearly as much as I thought I would. The ladies at the front were great and my my waxer was great as well. And not to mention it was so fast! Will be coming back!

Kaela Jackson

Best EWC experience. I have had a number of bad experiences at EWCs in VA, and went out of my way to visit this location. Needless to say I will not be visiting any others because I love this one! The staff is super friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to answer my questions about everything. Bre (or Bri) at the front desk is amazing and helped me to pick out the best body scrub to buy. Elle (or El) is now my favorite wax lady ever!! Can't wait to come back next month.

Kourtney Elzie

Melissa Fuentes is an amazing aesthetician! She is so knowledgeable and her personality is wonderful, as well! Made my Brazilian wax quick and painless, though I was long overdue. I can't wait until my next wax with her!

Serena Rodriguez

I was so excited when I found out EWC opened in DuPont Circle!! Finally a location in DC! The staff were very friendly and fun to be around and my wax technician was funny, thorough and very patient with me. I definitely recommend!

Kendra Thames

This is the best place that I've ever visited as a 30 year old women pertaining to my feminine maintenance. Today was my second visit and Kiera was my waxer... AGAIN! With emphasis she is absolutely the best. It was relaxing music she is very quick, but gentle at the same time.... Thank you Kiera for another satisfyingly amazing experience.

PUNAM SHAH

Love the wax at EWC! It's far less painful and messy than others. Also, my waxer is fantastic! She's thorough, doesn't get wax threads on me or leave wax behins, and knows how to make the process quick and painless. The reception desk is always helpful, courteous and responsive.

Jasmine Wilson

I have been going to European Wax Center for some time now. However, this was my first time at this location (thank god it's in DC). I was pretty scared because it's new but I had Lana! She was amazing and has worked at a wax center before. I had the Brazilian wax ($52) and as she let it rip she applied pressure which made it less painful. It was a breeze. Ask for Lana she works Tue, Thur, Fri and Saturdays.

Yetunde Ogungbemi

I’ll only let one person wax me in this place and her name is MIMI. She’s personable and gentle!

Jessica Brigance

They are one of the most efficient waxing establishments I've been to since moving back to DC. Kiera S is an amazing esthetician and she makes it her priority to leave you completely satisfied with your experience.

monique willis

Tiff is hands down the best aesthetician. I’ve been to different people but she’s personable and made the experience comfortable. Her work is precise, Will always choose this location for her work !

Brittany Crawford

My wax could've been better. I expected it to be perfect since this is a specialty shop. It's very clean and everyone is nice and professional. But I still have a few hairs on my bikini line.

Julie Kohler

I was a little trepidatious going to EWC because I had heard that their aestheticians can be under-trained and inexperienced. But I had a great experience; my aesthetician had 4 years of experience as a waxer and displayed a gratifying level of professional enthusiasm about the wax and the environment at EWC. It was a lovely experience, the wax wasn't too hot, and I was so pleased that I bought the 9+3 pack to ensure that I stay well groomed for the next year.

Elizabeth Krause

Waxing was fine, but they wouldn't let me pay until they had attempted to sell me about 10 different products and packages to come back. I kept telling them I wasn't interested, but I think they're required to complete the sales pitch. More trouble than it was worth for me, I can find another place for waxing.

Meredith Allen

Kiera is great! I only wish they had more flexibility in terms of available times (slots get booked quickly). Would love for them to open a store in SW/SE.

Caroline Winther

I had an amazing experience at the EWC in Dupont. I’ve not always liked DC EWC, but I tried Dupont and my wax specialist Syreena was so cool and sweet! She did an amazing job.

Tiffany Shellie

Always professional and polite. I’ve been going for a year and never had a single complaint or bad experience. Very clean and all the wax specialists do a great job

Seun Ajimoko

I had an esthetician named Mimi and she was AWESOME. 5/5. The least painful wax I have EVER had! She knew what she was doing. Excellent service!

Martha Gould

Tiffany is amazing! Professional, friendly and very easy to talk to! Always makes me feel at ease and appreciated as a client!

Katherine Whitton

Kimi is the best and deserves 5 stars. However, the receptionists were not very communicative and there was confusion when checking out. I will still keep visiting.

Sonya Olden

Crystal is the Best hands Down.... I Love her technique in comforting you, conversation, presentation and Most of all her Gentleness. Thanks So Much See you in 4 weeks💋

Amber Vereb

Miss Crystal 😢 but she pointed me towards Patrice and she is awesome! 🥳 The DuPont location is the best I’ve been to, the front desk is on point with customer service! …
