I've been going to Uni K Wax Bay Ridge for a few years now. The staff is very professional and polite. Booking an appointment online is easy and fast. You can also earn reward points. I love Sunny she's awesome, makes you feel comfortable and she always does a great job. Joanne is also great. There's been several different people at the front desk over the years but they are always very courteous. Everything is always clean and they follow COVID protocols. read more

This was my first time at Uni K, Paula greeted me and made me feel very comfortable. She was very gentle and efficient. She was quick and made it painless as possible. Will definitely come back. read more

I come here every so often for a wax. I always go to see Sunny she is fast, efficient, funny and knows what she's doing. Tonight I had to try Amy because Sunny had to leave early. I was called earlier in the day by the reception to notify me that Sunny was leaving early and Amy is available instead. I needed to take the appointment as I am leaving for vacation. When I got there I was early and was told I have a 15 minute wait so I decided to grab something to eat. I figured this was going to happen because Sunny was out. By the time I got back they were ready. The front desk receptionist Rashida (sorry if I misspelled your name) was great! Greeted me with a smile, showed me how to check in and even check in by her was AMAZING! Now for the in between waxing experience. Amy came in and did the standard procedure. She gave me a mirror for the part she finished but not the next part to check. When I got home I still had spots that were not taken care of that I had to do myself. I am paying for a service. If I wanted to do it at home I would've. I had wax all over me and even on my phone. Honestly the only reason I would come back is because of Sunny and the receptionist tonight. Other than that I would skip and do the waxing myself. Also, this place needs an upgrade from the design to the tables. This place needs a total makeover. read more

Uni K Wax-Bay Ridge - Front - Waxing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

Went here for the first time a little more than a month ago (yes, a very late review, but well deserved). Jenet did my waxing, and she was very careful and attentive when placing the wax. She frequently asked if the wax temperature was tolerable, which I appreciated. Unsure if it was her waxing technique or the wax in general, but after arriving home I looked closer and noticed quite a few hairs that weren't removed on my legs, eyebrow and lip areas. They weren't that noticeable from afar, but just something to note before visiting. I found my overall experience relaxing, I'd come again. read more

I recently recommended a friend here and I am so glad it's still open. I came here for my very first Brazilian wax a few years ago for about a year until I moved. The girls were so welcoming and explained all my questions so nicely. I felt so comfortable, or as comfortable as I could while spreading my legs open to some stranger haha. The rooms were private and I loved how they used a new wax kit for each client. The rewards system they have is great! Make sure you sign up so you can earn a free wax! You get more points if you book appointments online versus walking in, and I recommend you should because it's always busy. Parking is definitely a pain here. I would always take the train. Used to go only to Sunny and my friend recently saw her! She said she's still very thorough and nice! Definitely go to the bay ridge uni k location to get all your hairy needs taken care of read more

What a horrible waxing salon! Though staff upfront are professional and kind, the whole waxing experience was terrifying, if not traumatizing. I went for a brazilian and upon entry, the room immediately gives you a sense of dread. Thoughts of how clean the table might be and how much time will be spent making sure it'll be a painless experience were first to enter my head. My technician was quick - 1 slab of wax all over which she quickly ripped off. She ripped it off so quick, as a matter of fact, that the wax, to my horror, flew in the air and landed on my cellphone next to me. The whole waxing experience was painful. I've been waxed before, and never had I had such a traumatic time. When I got back home, I still had remnants of dried wax stuck to my inner thighs. My cellphone also had some wax on it as well. I definitely would recommend going elsewhere for such a private and personal wax. read more

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for finally opening a location in Brooklyn!! I would make special trips into the city to just get my waxing done, but now, I REALLY have no excuse not to cleanup my act! If you've ever been to a Uni K Wax Center, this set up in Brooklyn is just the same - clean, friendly, and private for your privates. Set up an account online and get notifications for deals on packages and special promotions! Now, the naming convention of what I call a Brazilian wax, is actually very different from how Uni K calls it, but if you're not sure, I always ask. Mamta was the girl who catered to my needs, and she was SO patient, gentle, and even at times, a bit comical! Overall, the process took 20 minutes or so, but the outcome was NOT red, but perfectly flawless! She really took her time, and even tweezed a little bit until she seemed overall satisfied. Great way to build a client base! Don't forget to steal a pen and a nail file on your way out; it was encouraged to do so! Highly recommended to come via transit; if you have patience, drive around for parking in this congested area. read more

I took everyone's advice and decided to book my first appointment at Uni-K with Sunny - and I am so glad that did! The whole process was quick, clean, and painless! Thanks to Sunny! :-) I will definitely return again. read more

Wow !! You guys doing really good job !! keep it up | You guys have amazing service all staffs are very friendly and very professional and neat and clean wonderful behavior from everyon. the place so nice once we enter the ambiance read more

To establish credibility, I've been a Unikwax customer since 2009, and have always recommended it to friends. The midtown location is my favorite--all the waxers are fast, professional, and wonderful to work with! It's out of the way, but I go there every time. I live in Bay Ridge, so when I found out this location was opening, I was elated. I booked my appointment in its 3rd week of opening. My wax was UNLIKE any other wax I've ever had at the Midtown location! The waxer was somewhat unprofessional, and very slow with the service. What is usually a 15 minute session at the Midtown location, took about 25 minutes here. She seemed to be taking her time, and really liked to pile on that wax (which is just NOT necessary; one swipe of the wax and you're good, my friend.) She seemed to be almost "playing" with the wax, moving it this way and that. She also kept turning off and on the fan, which was very distracting and time-consuming. I wish she would just leave it on. Another thing is, she kept apologizing whenever she pulled off the wax. I'm sure she was just being polite, but hey, I'm here, I'm paying for this service, just do it and let me on my way. I REALLY wanted to like this place. Maybe once their staff is more professional and have more experience, I will return. But until then, I will continue going to the midtown location. Maybe they can bring in some of their staff to teach them how to do these services properly. read more

Sorry no pictures but I saw JENET today! - shes super sweet and went over area i asked to redo. normally iam scared to try someone new but she does it smooth quick! read more

Great place to go all of your waxing needs!! Everyone is friendly -- from registration to the techs! Sunny is amazing, nice, and has a great sense of humor. The Bay Ridge location is very clean, smells fresh, sanitary, and relaxing. They really get 5 stars but I have them 4 because of the time it took to park (no fault of the business). If you go....tell them that I recommended you! read more

Uni K Wax-Bay Ridge - Inside the location....wax room and restroom. - Waxing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Very clean facilities. I booked my appointment 10 minutes before my session. My waxer, Joanne was amazing! She's super sweet and very thorough. I will definitely book with her again. read more

Like everyone else, I go to see Sunny - she really is the best! I've been going to her once a month for the past 6 months or so for brows and underarms. I've never had any issues with wait times (maybe 5 minutes here and there), and she's always been efficient and thorough. One of the first times I went, I wanted my brows done a *little* thinner (I'm not into the real thick look, even though I have a LOT of brow), and she fixed it no problem. Definitely sign up for their rewards program and book your appointments online - I think you get $2 worth of reward points every time you use their online booking system rather than calling in. Honestly, this place would get 5 stars from me just because they don't try to upsell you on packages or products relentlessly just like EWC up the block. read more

So I'm giving this place 5 stars specifically because of Sunny even though she recently moved to a different wax place a few doors down on the same block . I never have to wait long to be seen and my full Brazilian front and back is always done under 15 minutes . Quick and efficient. Before Sunny i used to dread getting a wax but she really makes it as painless as possible . There's street parking but also a parking lot across the street which is great . They have a reward system which is good because i always apply my points to every visit . 5 stars all around . read more

Pros: 1.The place is really clean. Super professional and super clean and you have privacy just great. 2.The staff is really nice.They are really comforting and sweet. 3.There waxing services other than Brazilians are fine. I say it not because they don't do a good job. Cons: If you plan on getting a Brazilian if you have ingrown(hairs) on your lady parts its really hard to get everything out simply by using hard wax... they don't use tweezers at the end or anything to help other than the wax... so whatever your left with after they do like a few coats of the hard wax is just there. I mean I would go back as long as you don't expect to leave 100% happy if you've ever been to a Brazilian(European) waxing center were they tweeze and everything. I use it as an alternative when my waxing lady in queens is not there. read more

Their quality and service has gone down tremendously since covid. There are two esthetician's there now who are clearly overworked. I question the sanitary conditions because the rooms are unkempt with old wax on the beds, dirty floors and the wax pot itself that's supposed to individualized look like it hasn't been cleaned in ages. For the finisher: they double dip! read more

Easy to book an appointment and quick checkin. Things seemed clean and sterile. I've had several waxing done by Jenet. She's friendly without being overly chatty and my vag is safe with her. read more

I love this place still. Since Ada left, I have been trying out different waxers ( also due to COVID quarantine I didnt want to be picky) and while they were good, I was getting ingrowns. But then I had Sunny! All of the good reviews you see about Sunny are true! She is amazing!! I have been booking all of my appointments- every 4 weeks with Sunny and no ingrowns in sight. Sunny is funny and down to earth. read more

My go-spot so I can keep the lochness monster at bay! It took a few years for me to find a place that can effectively remove without leaving me with ingrown hairs. This place is it! I particularly have only used Sunny and Ida and they are both phenomenal at what they do. They pay great attention to detail and I really commend them for their skill in dealing with the textured hair that I have. A+ all the way. read more

Ok so this my very first experience at this place. I've had Brazilians before and I know how painful they can be. Amy was so great. It wasn't as bad as my other experiences and she was very efficient and patient with me.. I'm like Sasquatch level and she needed to get more wax which was embarrassing but she didn't make me feel badly at all. My hair is very coarse and thick so I expect the pain but this was not so bad. As I read other negative reviews I agree the receptionist could care less about you and the other technician (not Amy) was very abrupt but it didn't turn me off. I'm kind of abrupt too so I guess I appreciate the frankness and honesty. I will definitely be back. I would just advise others that if you're looking for Warm and fuzzy this is not the place for you. However if you want semi painless and efficient service then go see Amy. Thanks again Amy & again I'm so sorry read more

I've read multiple reviews and then decided to go to Bayridge location. I have to say this was my best decision ever. Not only was the service super quick and amazing but the atmosphere was extremely welcoming. The receptionist made sure I was greeted and I gave her all the information. She quickly put me in the room for service. I did my wax with Amy and she was quick. The location is very clean and it smells really good. I will definitely recommend this place and I'm surely going back again next month. read more

I read somewhere that Uni K Wax has painless wax and I was skeptical because every girl I knew already got their Netherlands done painfully apparently. I was greeted by the clerk, Iris. She confirmed my appointment and off I went with Sunny. Sunny is the most sweetest, funniest, and is very fast on the job. It actually didn't hurt which surprised me because I was so worried for nothing. I saw some reviews on Yelp before, but oh my. I would 10/10 go again. The wax was green which I was surprised, but I read on the site later it's infused with some pine extract. Also I recommended this place to a few of my other friends hoping for a similar experience, but I guess I wasn't as sensitive as them there. After getting it done, I was surprised it didn't grow back immediately. It took more than 2 weeks for me to actually have growth there, but ingrowns were a slight problem. So I bought a sponge there, it comes 2 a package for $6. When it soaked in water, I was surprised it curves concavely. Fibers are soft, but the rougher side is where you're supposed to hold from. Also tip these ladies well :) They're the best. I would highly recommend to book with Sunny/Amy/Jamie read more

I have been getting full brazilians for years now (honey/azulene/chocolate/hard/etc), and I am someone who will return loyally for a service no matter the distance. With a job in midtown, I had no problems going to Astoria for my first wax based on a strong referral. I have since used Lifebooker to find salons in surrounding areas to the job. In my 8 years in Sunset Park, I have never needed to find a salon close to home until this weekend. I didn't see anything appealing via LB, so I turned to my fellow Yelpers and searched via zip code. Just a neighborhood away, Uni K jumped out at me with its ratings and several locations. I wondered what an "ouchless" wax really was like. I easily signed up for an account online and made an appointment for the next morning. I was a little confused by all the options (bikini/brazilian/front/top/back/what!?) but figured I could choose the Brazilian front and have them explain what I needed when I arrived and asked. I wanted it all off so the choice was exactly that - "Full Brazilian Bikini Front Top and Back." I was late but they didn't penalize me (note: you do not need a CC to make an appointment online!), and they were able to squeeze me in for the next hour. The two women at the front desk, Suzan and Nelly, were friendly and accommodating. Suzan did a great job of explaining their wax technique, even though I hadn't asked. The facilities are very clean and simple, and for a salon to focus purely on waxing, you know you are going to receive stellar service. My technician's name was Sunny, and she was exactly that! We chatted just enough, and I was extremely surprised and happy to receive such a great wax. The Uni K formula is a sticky, lukewarm wax which was very different from anything I have ever had because it was not HOT. I had to look down a couple of times, because I didn't believe this room temp wax was getting everything in one swipe. It was doing just that. Plus, the wax is put on so thick, that it is actually the wax that they're peeling off of you, not a separate cloth strip on top that they have to reapply and grab again. Sunny also quickly tweezed any excess without making me feel uncomfortable. Needless to say I was elated when she was done, it was absolutely the most pleasant waxing experience I have ever had. This will be my Brooklyn go-to, and I am already recommending it to all my friends! Thank you Uni-K! Worth the trip! read more

Paula is literally the best waxer ever! It was my first time at unik, ive waxed before but she was quick and efficient even with my thick middle eastern hair! She's so kind and makes you completely comfortable although we are in a sensitive area. I will definitely be coming back to see Paula ! read more

1-At the time of setting up appointment, although discussed in detail , we were given a different price and when we got there for service., to our surprise, they charged way higher price. Never again and will let others know and complaint about this bay ridge store. 2- the girl told me if I could get there early, I said yes and when I got there, she said that she never said so. So a full hour was wasted. 3- the girl took a customer in the middle of our appointment. Half the work was done and then another customer came in and she had me wait and finished with that customer and then resumed my service. read more

I've been coming here for 4 years (if not 5) there is nowhere else I would go to get my privates waxed! Their wax is a special formula and it hurts much less than the regular wax and strips. Service here is always quick and thorough. Have never waited long and if Im late nobody ever made a big deal about it. Sunnys great! Come early parking is a pain around here! (I have a very fair complexion and right after service yes of course the area is going to be red, someone just ripped hair from the follicle. I have never had an issues with it being swollen or red day after) read more

Sharon is wonderful and thorough. She is pleasant and reads you well during a waxing session along with being a true professional! Chatting some, quiet when you need to focus on business or a call, I enjoy our sessions. She is newer to the profession yet matches up to long time pros. I will come her see here every visit to Brooklyn. read more

New fave wax place. It's somewhat more $ than my local places but miles better in service. It's painless here so I don't have to crabby walk out. Every esthetician has been very thorough. As far as I can tell they keep things clean (I.e. No reuse of materials). I'm so glad I found this on Yelp. read more

I have been coming here for about 2yrs now and so far i like it. This was my very first experience doing bikini wax prior to this my sister came here first and she recommended me this place. I always look for Sunny, she is funny and makes me feel comfortable. She does an amazing job! read more

Uni K Wax-Bay Ridge - The receptionist was very friendly. The thing I didn't like was I had an appointment and the employee schedule never showed. - Waxing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

First of all, this place smells so good. The young lady in the front is so nice and patient. I went with my friend in the summer to get her brows done and she said the person who did her brows was very nice. It came out good and was affordable. Also, you get discounts if you sign up or something :) read more

I love coming to UniKwax. The customer service is amazing! I would recommend this place to anyone. It's clean, the staff are friendly and I always enjoy coming here. read more

Waxing was not my cup of tea but somehow i managed to go to UniKwax Bayridge location. I was terrified at first as i know how painful it is, but the waxer there, her name is Amy, she was so good and fast that i didn't feel the pain as much as i was expecting. I highly recommend this place. They are very professional and clean for sure. The best part is they don't use the same wax as other places does. They also gave me a tour of the place so that i feel comfortable and see how it is done. Overall a great experience. read more

I used to come here regularly for a Brazilian. If you can get Jamie, then do so because she is awesome, patient and gentle. She really makes you feel comfortable. I walked in on a random day for a Brazilian which I normally don't do and boy did I regret it! My usual Jamie was not in that day and that left Aime (or it might be Amy) to wax me. She was ridiculously rough and kept waxing the same spot over and over, burning and irritating my skin. When I took a look in the mirror, there was still a huge patch of hair. HOW?? After all of that waxing. I was in too much pain so I just told her to move on. When she was done, she handed me sanitary wipes and stepped out. While I was cleaning myself up, I noticed blood all over the sanitary wipe. She didn't even have the decency to let me know that I was bleeding. Brazilians have never caused me to bleed. After all of that, she asked for a tip. LOL! No thank you. Go next door to the European wax center. read more

I came here for my first bikini wax ever after reading up on Uni K Wax online. The receptionist was really friendly and even though I was 10 minutes late for my appointment I was seen right away. The waxing was quick and painless and my waxer helped me decide how much to take off. I had read online that Uni K was the "ouchless" bikini wax and it's actually true. I definitely plan on returning! read more

Came here for the first time a few weeks ago and Sunny did such an amazing job! She's very quick, precise, and thorough. Would recommend Sunny if you're looking for a quick and painless wax. read more

I recently had another visit at the Bay Ridge location and let me tell you they never dissapoint. I have been here a few times this year and each time I come I have the best service. The place is very clean, front desk staff is very welcoming/sweet, and the waxers make the process go smoothly everytime. I have tried a few (Amy, Sunny, Gemma) can't remember all names but they are all great. I can see any one with no problems. I highly recommend everyone getting their wax done here. read more
