European Wax Center

The manager contacted me due to my review and personally apologized for the experience. That goes a long way in my book.

I’ve been getting eyebrow, under arm, and Brazilian waxes from Gaby for a little over a year now and I’m hooked! Gaby is such a professional, fast, and efficient waxer. When I started seeing her my eyebrows were a disaster but she has completely reshaped them and made me feel fierce again. She’s always super friendly and makes my appointment as painless as possible. The front desk girls are also super sweet and go out of their way to make sure you have a good experience here. The location is super clean, and as an added bonus you can cancel appointments same day, free of charge. They are really dedicated to their clients and I would ¹⁰⁄₁₀ recommend to anyone in the Davis area looking for a spectacular wax service.

Least painful waxing center for brazilians! Best wax I’ve experienced with! I reccommend Oriana, she is great!!!

Jasmine is so sweet! Davis is the only wax center I go to, they are very accommodating and want you to have the best results. My eyebrows look amaz

It was my first time at this location. Monica was great! She was super friendly and did a fast efficient job. I was a little anxious because I haven’t been waxed in a while. Monica made it very comfortable for me! I am going back in for a full leg wax with her today. Im very happy I tried this location not only is the service great but it’s closer to home. Definitely need to see Monica if you want a quick pain free wax!

I’ve been coming here for about a year and a half and I’ve definitely had my fair share of uncomfortable/​unpleasant/​painful experiences but I wanted to write this review solely for Erika! I’ve only had her a handful of times but she’s by far my favorite. She’s really friendly and personable and makes the whole process very comfortable by constantly talking to you, which helps take your mind off the pain a bit. Her technique for bikini waxes helps a lot with the pain and it definitely hurt less than my experiences with the other waxers here. I also really appreciated how she didn’t rush through my wax even though I was the last appointment of the day. She really took her time to do a thorough job. Just let her know before hand if you have really sensitive skin and/​or low pain tolerance and she’ll be as accommodating as possible!

I got my first wax a month ago by Monica and she was very professional and the process was practically pain less. I’ll definitely be going back.

The waxers are all so nice and friendly! They make you feel comfortable, and do what they can to lessen any pain. I always go for my underarms and it never leaves any bumps or redness like other places I’ve been to. I try to come every 2 weeks in the summer. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely love this place, great service great price great experience I was hooked on brazilian wax after my very first experience here

Angel was my go-​to waxer. She was THE BEST at making it comfortable and relaxed and relatively painless but she abruptly left :((((so I’m now in the process of finding another person. I had Valerie and while she was very careful and tried to get every single hair, she took FOREVER and went over the same spot at least 5 times which makes skin sensitive and the process painful. She also broke a lot of hairs instead of ripping them out which caused them to grow back within a couple days. My review went from 5 stars to 3 stars simply for the fact that Angel doesn’t work here anymore and I haven’t found anyone that is nearly as good as her which makes me wonder if this place stands out from other places anymore.

Annie has been doing all of my waxing here for the last 18 months or so. She is insanely fast and super thorough. I had some awful Brazilians in the past, but she gets it done so quickly I honestly don’t notice the pain much.
As someone who works within the beauty industry, I appreciate the level of sanitation. No double dipping, I see her sanitize… The parking is questionable at best and the location is 30 minutes from my house, but I continue to make the drive because she is the best waxer I have ever had.

I’ve been coming here for about 3 years now and Rachelle and Monica both do fantastic jobs :) I get brazillian, underarms and sideburns done regularly and these ladies are super thorough. I have some areas that tend to get missed, and I just let them know and they always make sure to take extra time to get those spots.
There’s been a couple times with other waxers where they didn’t do a very thorough job and left patches of hair. But they do have a touch up policy where you can go in and they’ll get any missed areas for free within like 3 days or something like that.

I’ve been going to this European Wax Center on and off for about five years. That being said, I’ve been getting waxed for over ten and avoid this place unless I’m in a pinch. It’s the kind of place that can do a decent brazilian but not a place I would trust with my eyebrows. I find it a little bizarre that they get so many five star reviews.
The Good:
–Super clean (no double dipping, clean rooms, clean tables, nice facility)
–Easy to make appointments
–Convenient location
–Gives you discounts for referring other people and a promotional deal for your first wax (first service is 50% off, and you get $ 5 off for referring a friend)
–Waxers are professional so it’s not awkward to get naked
The Bad:
–Parking (hard to find)
–The facility seems almost medical and feels like a doctor’s office
–Wierd blue wax (always seems to rip out half my hair yet cling to my skin in the grossest way)
–Fairly expensive unless you buy a package
–Waxers often don’t have enough experience and three days later you’re going to have weird patches of hair (they offer a free touch-​up within five days, but it’s such a hassle and honestly you shouldn’t NEED a touch-​up if you get a good wax)
The only person I really trusted with my waxing was Angel, and she recently left (they wouldn’t tell me where). If you have a date tonight and absolutely need a wax this second and can’t go anywhere else, this place will fit the bill. However, if you’re looking for a great waxer, this isn’t the place. Keep looking.

+ THE SERVICE
For the past year or so, I’ve been going to Angel and she was really good at what she does. Sad to say, she no longer works here but wherever she works now, I’m sure the customers are really going to enjoy her services! All the ladies are so friendly and professional. They explain everything they will do. They use hot wax here that might be a bit painful if it’s your first time, but the actual removal part isn’t too bad at all.
+ THE PRICE
This place is pretty averagely priced. I looked up other places that provide waxing services and European Wax Center isn’t usually more expensive that other places. They have a special pass for students where if you buy 3 services, you’ll get 1 free (for example, buy 3 eyebrow waxes, get 1 free eyebrow wax– not mix and match). If you’re hesitant to commit, you can get eyebrows or underarm waxing done for free if it’s your first time!

Went in yesterday and when I walked in found out the waxer I was scheduled with was no longer there. And when I asked how long the girl who would be waxing me was there the girls at the desk were snippy. It makes sense to me why I might be uneasy about some one I have never been to will be pouring hot wax on my face and changing my face shape. I asked the girl (bri) to not touch shape of brows and just clean them up. They are now 2 different shapes with one shorter than the other. My boyfriend even noticed. If anyone knows where Angel went please let me know.

Been coming to this place for over three years and I must say EWC makes me look forward to my monthly waxes!
Totally affordable (especially if you buy the passes). Your first wax is free (or half off). I remember paying $ 15 for my first bikini full. $ 5 off if you book your next appointment in advance and $ 5 off if you refer a friend!
I love Erika. She’s very friendly, super sweet and will take her time with you. I hate being rushed in and rushed out!
EWC has patented some sort of «pain-​free» wax, and I must say, they’re the least painful bikini waxes I’ve ever had!
So seriously, do yourself a favor and go make an appointment!

What an amazing business. A place that specializes in waxing services and ONLY waxing. No nails. No hair. No facials. They are quick and effective. They know their stuff and practice proper sanitation practices. There’s disposable tissue paper on the bed like the exam tables at the doctors. They sanitize the surfaces after every client and NEVER double dipping. I also really like that they use the wax that doesn’t require strips.
On top of all that, their prices are the most affordable compared to other places! For example, $ 47 regular price for a brazilian; that’s almost half of what most other places charge! In addition, if you buy one of their packages, the price per service drops even more. It’s also fantastic that they have multiple locations throughout the country so I can go to another European Wax Center when I’m out of town.
They have a half off special for first time clients, birthday $ 5 off, and $ 5 credit when you refer someone.

Ladies. we don’t strip half naked and get into all sorts of positions for just anyone.
Or at least I hope y’all don’t. D:
When I first moved to Davis, I would wait until my trips back to the Bay Area to go to my regular gal. I like my privates to be exposed to as few people as possible lol. This became inconvenient after a while so I Unilocaled the nearest waxing center and made an appointment online. Easy peasy.
After falling off my bike on the way here *shakes fist at crooked sidewalk* I arrive and am taken to a little room. She explains the process and it took around 10 min for me. Every second felt like a million though– it hurt that much. And I’ve been around the block with waxers so I knew it shouldn’t have been that painful. I think it’s the dark beeswax that they use.
I got home and noticed she missed a few spots and she left residual blue wax on me. No bueno! I also purchased one of their serums that supposedly soothes and prevents ingrowns. Had aloe vera, tea tree oil and a bunch of other crap that did not work on my skin. They were nice enough to let me return it and for that I give another star.
I don’t choose to go to chains for a reason and EWC just reaffirmed it. If you live in Davis and it’s starting to look like a Pomeranian down there, this place will do the job. It’s far from the best though.

I use to purposely wait on any services I needed and go to my fave waxers in Elk Grove, my closest hometown European Wax Center. One time, I couldn’t go back to Elk Grove since I go to school in Davis, so I made an appointment here. Happy to have discovered my new favorite waxer at this location!
Based on reviews, Angel is the most requested and I can see why. She’s incredibly friendly and KNOWLEDGEABLE! So darn informative and personable! Makes the process quick and comfortable for a Brazilian service. Not only the best experience I’ve ever had with a waxer, but her advice for skin care is phenomenal.
EWC uses hot 100% bees wax, none of that strip wax stuff. «I want double dips and germs in the hot bees wax from the previous clients” – SAID NO ONE EVER!!! They dispose each waxing stick after contact with your skin and always uses new ones – SUPER sanitary and important to me.
Overall, Angel is the absolute best and now I prefer the Davis location over my Elk Grove location because of her. In fact, I haven’t visited my hometown EWC location in over a year because of Angel, she’s the bombbbb!
TIP #1: Your first time service is 50% off! Take advantage of it: D
TIP #2: If you come often, look into investing in a membership here. Honestly saves more than if you were to pay visit-​by-​visit.
TIP #3: If you make the advanced/​future appointments after your service, they will add $ 1 to your account each time to use on products!

I know I’ve already written a review about this place, but my experience was so great I have to write another one.
I get my monthly brazilian done by Angel. She’s the absolute best and I’m dreading leaving the area because I doubt any other esthetician will have her expertise and grace. Seriously. I don’t know how she makes the entire ordeal so painless. I’d rather get my upper lip waxed than a brazilian. Go see Angel!
