Uni K Wax Center

Janet is the best! Personable, Professiona, gentle, and we always have great conversation! She does the best Brazilian Bikini Wax in Miami! She now waxes my 13 year olds legs. The front desk is always accomidating and friendly. Love Uni K in South Miami!

Been coming to this location for a couple of years now and although some technicians are better than others, they are all very nice and professional.
My go to girl for the moment is Lisset, she’s gentle and does a great job distracting me from the pain! Lol
I have been a loyal customer of Uni K’s for years at different locations (Town & Country, and SoBe) depending on where I am living and I am happy with this location. They accommodate me whenever possible if I’m just walking in.

Been here twice so far. Fair prices, clean establishment, friendly staff. Was in and out with a full brazilian and underarm wax in 20 minutes. Yes 20 minutes. no awkward small talk or chit chat. Will come back to unik centers if this is indicative of them all.

Came here all the time while at University of Miami! Great staff, quick and fast service. And they have parking in the back on US 1.

I love uni k. I have been a loyal customers for many years and this was my first unpleasant visit. With that said this review is based of this specific location. I booked an appointment online for a wax, came in and wasn’t greeted until after one and a half conversations between the employees! Once I checked in I took a seat and was yelled at through the window to go to room 1 (or whatever #). This was so unprofessional and off putting to me. When giving a service it is expected that you greet your client and guide them to their prospective destination not YELL through a damn window!!!
I have been getting waxed for over 10 years, always the same service, this time I walked out with half a fur ball on my cooch! Being that I was so displeased with the entire experience thus far I didn’t care to request the esthetician actually do her job correct and complete!
Will I continue as a customer of uni k? YES
Will I return to this location? NEVER!

I thought I had a great experience because the wax was pretty comfortable. I have been getting brazilians, under arm, leg and brow wax at Blue Mercury in DC for over ten years. I didn’t realize how good I had it til I went to this place while on vacation. I missed my regular pre flight apt bc my train was late.
the menu at Uni K is ridiculous. it means you think you are getting a deal but walk out after a brazilian or bikini w terrible hairs still all over your backside and upper thigh bc «that’s a different item on the menu» I’d rather pay one price and not worry. However, that I can shave.
What seals this 2star rating for me is THE HAIR GREW BACK WITHIN A WEEK. I might as well have shaved. I paid all that money and suffered thru a waxing experience where I had to strip down and was told no there was not a robe, or towel available, just lay their naked as a fish.
all in all, it sucked. they are not thorough or effective. they are just cheap and fast. but it wasn’t worth it. I’m never going there again. if you know what I good wax truly is, you will not be pleased with this chop shop

Janet is the best! I always go to her. For me it is always painful, but Janet has been the best at making it as pleasant as it can be. Shes quick but not at the cost of ripping off your skin.
been coming here for years. i don’t go anywhere else for waxing those sensitive areas

This is the ONLY place I’ll go for waxing.
Let’s face it, waxing is not a pleasant experience but Uni.K.Wax does it right. The wax they use makes it less painful and these girls are QUICK. They get you in and out fast and the prices are unbeatable.
Janet is amazing and makes you feel incredibly comfortable. Definitely request her if you want full/​bikini waxes done.
I’ve been to high-​end spas with expensive price lists for waxing in the past. They don’t even compare to Uni.K.Wax. If you haven’t waxed before, yes, your first time will be more painful but after that point, you’re smooth sailing :)

Can I say hello! I love Millie!!! So, I have been exhaustively searching for the perfect eyebrow lady to satisfy my ultra picky needs. Was doing threading, but while they came out nice, they did not come put perfect, so I decide to try Millie at this location and I am so glad I i did. I even made my next appt for 2 weeks from then bc I had nothing neg to say. I Am so glad that they came out great and hardly any pain. She took her time and detailed the brows to look like they used too. Besides having to grow them out bc they are a little thin write now, she will cont to do my brows as long as she is there and I can drive there!!! No questions asked. I’m addicted.

I understand that living in Miami means having a close relationship with a talented waxing professional. Though it’s been quite a painful process (pun very much intended), I have finally found a place and specialist I can trust with these delicate matters.
I stumbled upon this particular Uni K. Wax location on my way home and was lucky enough to be taken in on the spot as a walk-​in with only about a 5-​minute wait. Marielys (sp?) took care of me and not only worked quickly and efficiently but left me with beautiful brows and put me through very little pain, if any.
I haven’t gone anywhere since then. It’s rare to find someone who can wax well and shape brows, so I’m going to give this place a 5 for their talent, professionalism, skill, and free parking in South Miami. :)

I just moved to Miami and so I was really worried about trying out a new waxing place, but I am SO happy I found this place!
1) The green wax that they use is way better than the regular wax and the strips I am used to. It is far less painful and far cleaner. I had no wax left on my skin once I was finished.
2) I made an appointment on the website, which was so easy and convenient.
3) The waxer I scheduled an appointment with was Marielys. She was so friendly and professional. She did a wonderful job and I would definitely recommend her to anyone considering this location.
4) The prices were significantly cheaper than anywhere else I have been before.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with the great, quick service and even better prices. They’ve definitely made a loyal customer of me!

I went to get my brows waxed today and oooph was it crowded. I had an appointment for 6pm and was seen promptly but not without confusion behind the front desk (Who is she with again? Where is she in the system?). I definitely recommend visiting the shop not during peak business hours (between 5p-​close). I had visited the same location at 2pm on a Friday previously and never had a problem.
Once I was finally seen, Lisette did a good job but left a few stray hairs. Overall though, I was pleased with her as a waxer and would definitely visit her again. The bill came to $ 16.00 which is an ok price for Miami. Be forewarned that they do offer a student discount, however, the discount is blocked out for the major holidays (Labor Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving). Just a tip that I wanted to post here so no one else was surprised when they tried to get the discount.
Oh and the music was LOUD! So much so that I had to ask my waxer to repeat what she was asking several times. My recommendation, keep the music down even if it is the start of a Holiday weekend.

A bit overpriced for simple eye brow waxing. On a good note, I didn’t have to wait and I did find parking behind the building. The actual waxing was average. I might go back and request someone else next time.

Janet is my girl!
First big tip: Once you find a waxer that you like, stick with em. Don’t take chances on another one b/​c they are all different. If you go and you don’t like the particular lady that worked on you, try a different location or a differet esthetician until you find one that you vibe with. Once you do, it’s nothing but MAGIC!
UniKWax is the BEST waxing salon I have EVER been to. Period. They have nothing like this in LA where I live (the closest uniK is in San Diego). The prices are VERY reasonable, they are quick & efficient. The wax NEVER takes my skin off, and they rarely, if ever, leave hair behind.
(Yes, they double dip. But everything else is super sanitary and clean, and I’ve been going there, geez, maybe 6 years and have never had any types of skin reactions as a result.)

I came to the South Miami Uni-​K location since I was shopping in the area. I usually go to Brickell but figured I’d give them a try. Free parking in the back was a major plus. I called 5 minutes ahead to make sure they weren’t busy and they told me to come right in. As soon as I got there they showed me to a room.
You could tell that the girl that took care of me really cared that everything was perfect. She made sure to ask me if I was totally satisfied and didn’t complain when I told her she missed some small hairs. My eyebrows look great I am really happy with the shape she gave them.
The prices here are also very reasonable. I paid $ 25 for upperlip and eyebrows. The place I went before charged $ 20 just for eyebrows. Uni-​k wax has shown consistany in service in at least two locations so I would recommend them 100%.

Why has no one mentioned the double dipping? I went in for a full brazillian and had my eyes closed so tightly that I didn’t even notice until halfway through that she kept dipping the SAME STICK into the giant vat of wax – SO disgusting.
That alone is grounds for giving this place one star, but in case you need other reasons:
1. Very unfriendly front desk staff. They all just stared at me when I walked in, no hello or even a «can i help you?»…and they forgot to have me fill out the «how sensitive is your skin» form until after I had already been waxed.
2. Zero privacy. She took me to the room closest to the front desk… meaning when she returned after telling me to drop trou, the rest of the staff got a FULL view. Also, the walls don’t go all the way to the ceiling… which would have been more irratating if I wasn’t the only person in there.
3. Bad wax job. Not only were there still plenty of hairs, but she didn’t even clean all the wax off! Plus, she went over the whole thing 4 or 5 times… and my hair isn’t even that coarse.
4. Parking is difficult, unless you find it a breeze to back out onto US1. I just pulled an Austin Powers and did a 15-​point turn to get out of there.
Overall, a highly unpleasant experience. The only thing good about this place is that it’s cheap. But if I’ve learned anything… it’s not to go cheap on a brazillian wax. There’s no way this place should be highly rated.

I’m writing the same review as I did for their Pinecrest location because my experiences at both have been almost identical…
I was hesitant to get a full brazilian wax from someone who I hadn’t known for any more than 2 minutes but they really make the experience comfortable (or as comfortable as you could possibly be!) I don’t necessarily get the same person every time I go (I’m sure you can ask for an appt with the same person, I just don’t care enough) but everyone I’ve dealt with is always professional and the place is VERY clean. The brazilian bikini wax is painful but it gets better as you go– they also use wax with no strips which I like because I feel like the strips make it MORE painful.
I have to give them credit for doing this! I could never wax someone else’s *woohoo* and they do it all day and act like it’s an eyebrow wax!
Also, forgot to mention that their prices are very reasonable. I actually expected to pay more so I was pleasantly surprised.

I was in the area for business that finished early on a Thursday afternoon. Knowing that this place was nearby and that I wanted to go to the pool that weekend, I called to see if they had appointments. Turns out, I could be seen in 15 minutes.
At these types of shops it can be a little like playing russian roulette with who you’ll draw as your esthetician. I lucked out with Milly. She was pleasant and personable, which made the experience actually fun. She wasn’t as efficient as others I’ve tried, but I think that’s because we had an interesting conversation going on. Everything else about this location is similar to the other Uni-​K locations — professional ambiance and good wax that doesn’t require the paper strips. They also do not allow you to add tip to the credit card.
My only complaint about this place is that it can be challenging to find parking and it can be a pain to drive here from Brickell. But it is open on Sundays, so it may work for me.

I walked in without an appointment and waited for about 2 minutes. Not bad huh? But it was a Monday so maybe that was why.
This was my first time going to a Uni-​K so I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was a little surprised. The setting and décor reminds me of a doctor/dentist’s office. When she was doing my eyebrows she finished by using the tweezer but I must confess I had to open my eyes because it didn’t feel like a normal tweezer but it was, this woman had crazy tweeze skills.
The prices are fair and the visit was fast. I’m not sure if I’d go back because I like chatty people and this place seems like they’re not there to be talking to clients. Some people like that but I need at least a little conversation.

Clean, professional and the price is right.
They take walk-​ins but it’s better to make an appointment, especially right before the weekend, people have waited around for hours at this location.
