European Wax Center

Wax was great! Painless and very well done.
Jessica made me feel super comfortable and the girls at the front desk were very informative about products and packages.
Will definitely be returning.

Very quick and professional place. Nichole is my specialist and she is beyond amazing. Love the packages.

I have been coming here for awhile now for my waxing. I always buy the packages because you get the best deals that way. I have been seen by several different people because I don’t always go when the people that I prefer are available. My only complaint is that their prices are a little high and unfortunately I don’t think that the people are all consistent. Some girls are better than others.
FYI — To make a reservation you can call or go online. Both are easy and convenient ways to make reservations.

Everyone that waxes you knows what they are doing. They do it all day, every day. Most of the people I have met have been doing it for several years. It’s easy to get an appointment the day of too. They use a wax that is the least painful I have experienced, and you can buy packages in advance to save on costs. You can book online, the place is VERY clean. Be sure to dress warmly, because they really crank up the AC in there. It’s freezing.

I will never go anywhere else to get waxed ever again. Their wax is so painless and the staff is very professional. I was originally going to EWC in NY and was so happy to find one when I moved here. Best place to get a wax, I recommend it to all my friends.

The best in town! The wonderful ladies up front are more than accommodating and give off a great vibe from the very start. I drive over 40 mins to have my Brazilian done here (that’s how good they are and it’s so worth getting the prepaid wax packages!) The staff is knowledgable, professional and always make me feel comfortable. Great location, the interior is very clean and always organized. Do yourself a favor and try them out for whatever waxing needs you may have. If you’re thinking of going all the way down there I highly recommend this place.

This was my first experience getting anything but eyebrows waxed. I was a bit apprehensive and self conscious but quickly relaxed. The environment is clean, comfortable and everyone is courteous. I’m now a regular and took advantage of the packages and payment plans they have to offer.

Love that you can book online, love that the place is clean and sterile looking. Love Katrina! She explains everything she is doing and I so appreciate her taking the time to teach me the proper technique to fill in my eyebrows! Their brush and powder are excellent and have lasted quite a while.
My only hesitation is I tend to feel a bit badgered each time at checkout for not ordering a package or booking my next visit. I travel for work and who knows when your eyebrows need some love? Mine don’t grow like clockwork. I feel like saying, «Don’t call me, I’ll call YOU!»

Few fun facts:
–Everyone who waxes you is either an esthetician or full fledged cosmetologist.
–They go through a week of training before being able to take paid clients (that includes practicing on eachother and during «free wax days» where they need to provide 40 free waxes)
–This particular location is celebrating 12 years and is a franchise.
— The hard wax they use is a special formula made JUST for Euro Wax locations
— They will wax it ALL! Nostrils, faces, and all the down theres.
— Sessions are 15 minutes
— They do big sections at a time to make sure they can stick to that time frame.
With that being said, this is the most near-​painless wax I’ve ever experienced. There’s something about the type of wax they use that makes it so much gentler than conventional wax. I’m a life long shaver because I’m not down for the pain but after trying them once I’ve been hooked and bought a membership. Try them! You will not be disappointed.

I don’t get waxed because I don’t have a lot of hair. I get nervous when they come toward my face. This was my 2^nd time and it was a great again. She was attentive, quick, and I look normal but better.

I like coming here because it is super close to where I work, but I am not sure I would come here otherwise. There is something wrong with the air conditioning unit that leads to some of the rooms being really, REALLY cold. Needless to say, this is less than a pleasant waxing environment and, aside from discomfort, I have walked away with ingrown hairs in areas I have never gotten them before due to it. If you are going, ask that you not be placed in the colder rooms — the staff is actually aware of the issue and will accommodate you.
Also, make sure you have a reservation. Even though I go at completely random times of the week, this place always seems booked. Also, as a long time European Wax customer I know you have to be on time for your reservation. After ten or so minutes, your reservation disappears from the system and you lose your spot. I have seen people walk in late at this location after being ten minutes late and get very unceremoniously turned away because there is no other availability for another 2 hours … Like I said, long time customer but refusal to accommodate like that still surprises me when I see it. At any rate, make a reservation AND be on time!
Four stars because I am a European Wax Center fan and annual pass owner of several services, but this location is maybe not the best representation of the level salon they are as a whole.

I have been going to the neptune location for almost 2 years now. Katrina is great! She really makes you feel relaxed and gets the job done quick.

I’ve always had good experiences here for eyebrow waxes. I prefer their hard wax to soft wax/​strips. I think it hurts less and they can be more precise in hair removal. The location is clean and nice.
EWC has packages that make waxing a little more affordable and they give bonus points for pre-​booking. I got a discount ($ 20?) on my package from all my pre-​booking from the previous year/​package. Also, the first wax is free.
The employee turnover is kind of high. I’ve had a few waxers I like leave, but I’ve been happy with just about all the waxers. I also like that you can book online.

Love this place. They’re good at keeping appointments on time, all staff is knowledgeable. Love their products. Prices are reasonable. The staff is professional.
Had a hard time paying last visit because an employee, who looked like a manager, was being so loud on the phone that I couldn’t hear my cashier.

Clean and Professional!
I have been to this location quite a few times and each of my technicians have always been friendly and very professional and have never said or done anything to make the experience uncomfortable.
The shop is located in South Tampa in a shopping plaza od of Dale Mabry and Neptune Avenue. The girls in the reception are not overly friendly but professional, although I have seen diffent faces come and go. The shop is trendy chic and very clean. Expext to be encouraged to buy their line of products after your session.
All of the rooms are cleaned fresh for each client and the table is covered with a medical cloth. The wax used is high quality and pulls off without the use of a cloth and the technicians do not contaminate the wax with redipping the same stick. I also like that your skin is prepped with a moisturizer before the service and after.
I recommend making an appointment but walk ins are welcome. First time customers get a free wax. I recommend them to all ladies and gents needing waxing. I see all types of people, all shapes and sizes using this spot. Nothing to be ashamed of when you are trying to be the best version of you!

There I was, there I was, there I was… In THE CONGO!!! Well ok, it was not quite the Congo but it was Tampa and sometimes a big unfamiliar city can seem just like the jungle. I was waiting for a friend but didn’t have a lot of time to kill. my eyebrows were making me look like Shrek so I had to find a solution! I went again to my Unilocal community gurus to see what my smoothly waxed Unilocalers might have to say on the subject and damn if they didn’t nail the perfect place!
A friendly professional voice answered the phone I asked three questions, do you take walkins, do you do men’s eyes brows, and how much the service was. Not 10 minutes later I was walking through the front door into a very modern, immaculately clean waxing salon. Two extremely friendly and courteous young ladies were manning the desk, the first girl asked are you Greg? I said yes I am, she took some information and said I would be in the very capable hands of Miss Rosa. Now imagine if you will I was picturing this 86-​year-​old woman with a mustache thicker than mine, but to my pleasant surprise out came an extremely attractive and very professional, fun version of what I had in my head of Miss Rosa! Now understand something here, this place offers a first time free eyebrow waxing! Yes I said that correctly… Free! I asked what it normally costs which was quite reasonable and that was the tip I left for my expert Wax Wizard Rosa. I walked in looking completely disheveled and walked out feelin’ sexy and smooth LOL! I give them five stars because of the great atmosphere, attitude of the employees and the comfortable feeling that you got when you are a regular at your favorite place. I didn’t wait long although there were people coming and going, I would have to say I was in and out in 15 minutes or less. Thank you so much my friendly wax wonders and if I am ever in Tampa again I will certainly visit!

European Wax Center is a lifesaver.
I’ve been to a couple other wax places and had terrible experiences. They were totally unprofessional and dirty. I tried out European Wax Center after a friend recommended it and now I will never go anywhere else! The front desk staff is excellent. They consistently call about appointment reminders and have been very helpful whenever I’ve needed to reschedule.
EWC uses a special blend known as «Comfort Wax» to make the whole experience less painful. You begin with a cleanser to remove your skin’s natural oils and then the warm wax is applied. A new stick is used for each application to avoid any cross contamination. After your wax is complete, the specialist applies EWC’s Ingrown Hair Serum to prevent any bumps.
I’ve had appointments with five or six different specialists since I began visiting European Wax Center and I’ve liked all but one (nothing against her, I just missed my usual girl). Those are pretty good odds! Everyone has great personalities and they are so easy to talk to so I can distract myself from the pain.
The interior appears clean and I have regularly seen the staff sanitizing and mopping on the nights I’ve had late appointments. There are a few great packages available and if you sign up for the emails, they’re always having great specials! If you’re looking for a clean and reputable establishment for easy hair removal, then European Wax Center is the place for you.

Out of all the places I’ve gotten my brows & lip done, European Wax Center is the least painful. Their special wax really works. It’s definitely more expensive than your local salon, though.
The girls at this location were very friendly and courteous. The only time I felt uncomfortable was when the girl doing my brows went on a small speech about how I should come in more often than I do. It was too sales-​pitchy for me than it was hygiene advice.

I’m knocking EWC down a star because imo this location’s best technicians have moved on.
Still in love with their super clean, sterile atmosphere, never double dipping in wax or cross contaminating, and hours are long so it’s relatively easy to get an appointment. Plus the packages they offer make waxing services affordable.
But I have had my brows messed up in the past, so I will follow the talented Alyssa to her new location for expert shaping.

A great wax, but make sure you wear your resting b*tch face when you go.
I am really impressed with the quality of the wax used here and in my 5 yrs of doing this, it was probably one of the least painful wax experience I’ve had (of course taking some Tylenol an hour before the appt certainly helped!). If it’s your first time waxing or you have sensitive skin like me, I would recommend here because of the special formula wax — very very little redness or irritation afterwards. They only use one application stick to keep everything sanitary, which is essential for any wax salon.
Casting call: calling all young beautiful women from South Tampa who think they are too school for cool. Seriously, that must be how they recruit employees. I felt like an outsider entering a sorority house. No one told me When I booked the appt that I needed my resting b*tch face on when I came in! I walked in and said ‘Hi!’ The dry response, ‘do you have an appointment?’ Okay so no warm fuzzy friendliness here. I’m used to my other salon where they are very down-​to-​earth friendly girls. If you don’t care about super friendliness then this place is very professional and you will like it.
The salon itself is very modern chic and clean. Parking is easy which is nice — it’s in a tiny shopping center so no hassles there. I like not having to bother with street parking or paid parking.
And I will be back because they do have some great packages and decent prices, I’ll just remember to wear my resting b*tch face next time.
