While the booking process and overall professionalism were good, the makeup result itself was very disappointing. Additionally, I was not informed in advance that the $250 service did not include hair styling, which was frustrating given the occasion.

But after my appointment today with Aly, I don't think I'm ever returning to European Wax Center. Aly was extremely knowledgeable/informative about the whole process, clearly explaining the benefits of sugaring over waxing. She was also extraordinarily considerate, often asking if I was doing okay after every pull. Never have I ever had a more relaxing brazilian/underarms/nose/ears/facial hair removal procedure than today. This is definitely my new go-to place from now on.

I scheduled an underarm wax appointment, but unfortunately woke up the morning of my appointment…read morefeeling ill. The clinician called me to ask if I could come in early and I said yes hoping to be feeling better but as I began to work on some things at home I felt worse and worse. (I just found out I have Covid). I attempted to reschedule through Vagaro, but because my appointment was less than six hours away, the system would not allow me to do so. I called the salon and was informed by a staff member that I would be charged a $10 cancellation fee despite being sick and wanting to reschedule rather than cancel outright. Since my service was only an underarm wax, the fee amounted to approximately 40% of the total service cost. I asked whether an exception could be made given the circumstances, but was told it was the "manager's policy." The response felt very scripted and lacked any empathy for the situation. I ultimately agreed to pay the fee, but asked that the manager be informed they had lost a customer over $10. Unfortunately, the experience became even more disappointing. The manager, Sarah, called me after I had already explained that I was sick and wanted to discuss the situation. I was really not feeling well and did not appreciate receiving a call to discuss this further. I told the manager that, because I wasn't feeling well, the only discussion I was interested in having was whether the cancellation fee would be refunded. Instead of addressing my concern, Sarah ended the call abruptly by HANGING UP ON ME. I understand that businesses have cancellation policies, but customer service and compassion matter. A little flexibility for a client who woke up sick and was trying to reschedule, not avoid paying, would have gone a long way. Instead, I was charged a fee that represented a significant portion of the service cost and was treated in a way that ensured I won't be returning. If you book here, just be aware that if you wake up sick on the day of your appointment, you should expect the cancellation fee to be enforced regardless of the circumstances.

Great costumer service and place is sanitary. I really enjoyed myself and felt relaxed. The girl who helped me (can't remember her name) really took care of me, AND it was really cheap for what I was expecting getting callas remover and all... This took place on 2/27 a Saturday late afternoon... BUT ! On 3/1 I saw my gel chipping off of my nails, and before you knew it, one fell off.. Leaving me with one plain fingernail, it just didn't look good. I soon realize the gel on my other nails looks as if it will pop off any day now. This is coming from a girl who gets hell ALL THE TIME, every two weeks, and have never had issues before, PLUS uses her hands a lot so they have to look good... BUT decided to go to this spot because a friend recommended me and they have way better of a selection of colors than my original spot.. Kind of bummed out :/ read more

Then after all that, they tell me my nails were too short and couldn't do French tip... and then filed my nails unevenly... They take their time with gel and gel x application, but if they're going to take their time on services they need to learn to manage their schedule to accommodate and stop giving inaccurate appointment slots just to get people in...

She filed my nails way too thin, and instead of feeling relaxed, I left stressed and frustrated. Under no circumstances should you get serviced by Lily.

It's only been a week and already two nails have broken and the polish has started lifting. I'm not one to leave reviews, but I had to this time because I'm that disappointed. Save your money and go literally anywhere else.

Myself and two best friends went in for gel x pedicures. While getting the color done on my toes the technician kept hitting the polish with the gel light to the point where toes had to be redone. Not a huge issue. Except when we finished and he wiped my feet an entire toe was missing color! Not like my toe nail came off, like the gel just scrapped off in an instant. So we redid that toe. I left paying $57 and less than 24 hours later I now have TWO toes missing paint. Unbelievable! I literally didn't do anything with my feet today other than walk in socks protected by Ugg boots. Like if the nail polish is old throw it away. I don't live close to this location so I can't even go in and ask them to fix it. Complete waste of time and money. Also my best friend had asked for a color from the 500 options given to her to choose from. They decided to paint her nails with a color they had then offered to put glitter over it so it looked similar. Of course this was done when they were almost finished. Not cool. If you don't have something in stock be honest and upfront with the customer. I'm sure she could have chosen something else from the other 499 options and left happy !!! Now I can't even show my ugly feet to anyone because they look even more ridiculous than usual.
