European Wax Center

Jordan M is a fabulous esthetician. I always leave with movie-​star brows. She is efficient and very thorough. I’d recommend her to anyone for any type of waxing service!

Beware of Rosa! It has taken me five days to be able to write this review but I want to save others going through what I am. I’m heartsick. I’ve been growing my eyebrows with care and precision for two years. Finally to a place that I liked and felt good about. Couldn’t get to my usual waxer so made an appointment here for a basic clean up; no shaping. Five minutes later my brows were destroyed. One is nearly a quarter of an inch thinner than the other and begins a third of an inch inside the corner of my eye. It’s also drastically lower than the other. I know, there are more important things than eyebrows to worry about. But still. This is a review about an eyebrow waxing place. Steer clear. If Rosa doesn’t listen to what you want, get up off the table and request a different technician.

Chelsea did an awesome job on my wax! In town visiting and thought I’d stop by for a «Mel» day. Glad I did. European Wax Center never disappoints!

I cannot honestly give this place a good review. I had a Brazilian done and it was the sloppiest job I’ve ever had. I used them in a pinch, won’t be going back.

Loved my wax with Chelsea & the prices are affordable. It’s worth the drive from Keizer to Tualatin.

I’ve had waxes at several different places in the Portland area. Chelsea at EWC is by far the best wax removal specialist I’ve experienced! She is super fast — no one wants to spend much time having their hair pulled out. Many of the area salons schedule an hour for a Brazilian — seriously? Chelsea takes 15 minutes! She is meticulous about brows (as well as the rest of her services). Her room is always clean. She is professional and discreet. My boyfriend also sees her for back and shoulder waxing. I would recommend this center, but especially Chelsea, for any waxing service.

This was my first time getting waxed (brows and nose); I didn’t know what to expect and was kind of nervous. I saw Chelsea and was soooo glad I did! She was very friendly, professional and efficient! It was all over very quickly and I had a great experience; I’ll definitely be going back and recommending people to go see Chelsea in the future.

I came here to have my eyebrows waxed because my girlfriend said they were getting bushy. I made the appointment 20 minutes in advance and they were ready for me right when I got there. The whole thing took about 10 minutes and Chelsea (the employee that tended to me) did a wonderful job! I barely even swelled up like I usually do, and have already made an appointment to come back!

The facility itself is decent. I waited 15 minutes after my scheduled appointment time to be seen. The front desk girl was really nice and probably the only reason I won’t give one star. My brows are already shaped how I like and I just went in for a clean up, I saw rosa and she took the top arch on my right brow totally off, I booked with her because I saw good reviews, maybe she was just having an off day, or maybe I’m just use to someone who is a little more careful, as I am very picky about my brows. She had some helpful tips but all in all I would not go back to her.

First time attending this location/​business & I was quite pleased. Came in on my lunch break as a walk-​in hardly had a wait time & then had my eyebrows waxed! My waxing technician went over the process of doing my eyebrows along with what she was using product wise! Great customer service! Clean atmosphere & everyone spoke ENGLISH! I will be returning for more! Thanks again ladies!

I’ve had Brazilians before, and had let it grow out this year. So, I thought I’d try this place as it’s nearer my house than the place I used to go to. I was prepared for it to hurt, I was prepared for it to not be fun, lol!
The staff were all very nice at check-​in. Friendly and welcoming and warm. I felt very hopeful.
The room was clinical and cold and harsh. I felt like I was a dog in a vet’s office. I felt less hopeful.
The girl who did my wax was clearly inexperienced. She asked for what I wanted, but then didn’t listen and left me with a tuft of hair that looks like a soul patch. I’ll be growing that out.
But that I could deal with — she also did the whole thing in about 4 – 5 wax passes. Which means, she slathered wax on and ripped an enormous amount at a time. She didn’t tension the skin. She, essentially, covered her eyes with one hand and ripped with the other, then looked back apologetically and said «I’m sorry…» the whole time. At least it was fast… ugh. But, ye gods — I almost cried it hurt so much. Again, I’ve gotten a Brazilian before and I was prepared for it to hurt, but my first waxer (at Urban Waxx (happy to give them a plug,) was professional and kind and took good care of me. This made me feel like a sheep getting shorn with not much care for the integrity of my skin.
When she was (almost,) done she asked if I wanted my «butt strip» waxed. Um… ‘Butt strip’ — is that ever necessary to say? And, isn’t that part of the point of a Brazilian? Don’t we call it a Brazilian so we don’t have to say things like «butt strip»?
I’ll never go back. Back to Urban Waxx for me, thank you very much.

I’ve been going to EWC for 5 or so years now. Although their service is consistently awesome, I had an exceptional experience today at their LO location! I went in for an eyebrow wax — it had been a long time. My wax specialist was Rosa. She was amazing. The vibe was super friendly, relaxed, and informative. Beyond happy with my results.

Great place! Super professional and friendly. They make you feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend Chelsea!

Can’t say enough about Kelsey. Being my first time she was gentle, funny and really thorough. Love coming here.

I’ve seen four different waxers on Groupon since going to European Wax Center — they are STILL the best wax that gets all the hairs. I think it is their wax specially formulated for them.
I can’t say as I will do another Groupon — time to go back to European! Just wish they weren’t as expensive as they are. I’ve referred a lot of people, but have never received any of their $ 5 off perks for them. That’s my only not positive thing to say — but I experience that as a Corporate Admin problem that doesn’t get tracked, not necessarily this outlet’s fault.
Go see Sahid! :)

Good price, quick waxing. Not the cleanest wax I have ever received (meaning cleanliness of the wax itself, facilities are spotless.) But I had an appointment at 2pm got there at 1:50, walked into the waiting area to see all of their staff having their employee meeting. They told me I had to leave and come back right at 2… It was raining and there isn’t much you can do in 10mins, so I waited in my car. It was awkward, and honestly a bit rude. How was i supposed to know I was walking into their staff meeting? Generally there customer service isn’t great, but you get what you pay for.

Let me start by saying that this was my very first Brazilian wax, so I was a little nervous and apprehensive before coming in.
However, I was pleasantly surprised!
I took advantage of the first time member discount (First time guests receive a FREE brow, underarm, or bikini line wax OR 50% off other waxing services), making my total only $ 23.50 for a normally $ 47 wax!
I felt very welcomed when I arrived, and didn’t have to fill out any paperwork or sign anything. Just had to state the basics to the front desk lady. (Name, address, etc.)
Right away, I was whisked away by Sydney to a private room that looked sort of like a doctor’s office, but what do you expect from a waxing place? I immediately was told to undress and get ready, and without any hesitation or pointless small talk, she got right to work.
I’m not going to lie to you: IT DID HURT. But, only for a few seconds at a time, and Sydney was so incredibly fast, I hardly knew what was going on. She also kept asking me questions as she waxed, which really helped to take my mind off of the inevitable pain that comes with waxing such a sensitive area. The whole procedure took around 15 minutes, and other than pain in one particular area, it was a breeze. The ladies here are clearly professional, and use a four-​step process which includes prepping the skin with two types of creams, waxing, and then finishing off with an ingrown hair serum to sooth the area and ensure the wax will last as long as possible.
I ended up purchasing the ingrown hair serum, after being told of its benefits not only to areas waxed, but areas shaved, so I knew I would be using it on a regular basis on lots of different areas. Plus it should last around 6 months, so it was worth the $ 25.
All in all I would definitely come back to European Wax Center, and look forward to more smooth skin in the future!

European Wax Center is great! I saw Caroline for a lower leg wax, and she was really friendly and knowledgable about waxing and the products they sell! The wax they use is phenomenal, and it was a great experience (as good as it can be)! I left with smooth legs and a couple products I can’t wait to try. I also appreciated the scheduling flexibility. I was able to do a same day appointment on a Saturday! I’m just in town visiting family, but I will definitely keep this place in mind if I’m back in town and in a waxing emergency! Thank you!!!

It pains me to say the experience was not good. The environment was completely sterile and I felt like just another number being called up.
When I got back to the room, it was even more sterile. My doctors office has more warmth to it. The lady was completely impersonal and seemed rushed. She checked her beeper in the middle of my bikini wax and let me know her next appointment arrived. It was ridiculous!
I will not be heading back there and I could not in good conscious recommend it to anyone. Which is too bad, because the location is great.

I recently had a bad brow wax which prompted me to go to a real salon, not the nail place down the street. Once my brows were almost grown out I did some research and found European Wax Center.
The first time I came in I just walked in. The salon is really bright and clean. I was quickly whisked away by McKenzie, after I was informed that my first wax is free. I explained what was going on with my brows, and she fixed them up to allow the rest of my brows to grow out properly while still looking good, which they did.
A few weeks later I made a same day appointment and Sidney was was also lovely to work with. My brows are totally perfect now and EWC has shown me why having an expert is worth the drive from Newberg and the cost.
In fact yesterday I was having brunch with my best friend and she commented that my brows look amazing. My answer? I know. :)
