European Wax Center

For a place that focuses on my nether regions it sure is high end!
The salon is clean, well lit (thank God for the lighting as I want them to SEE exactly where they are putting the wax down there!), and everyone that works there from reception to appointment takers to service techs are friendly and cheerful.
My service tech is Morgan and she is awesome! She is funny and cool and makes me feel completely relaxed (a miracle considering I’m ripping hair from the most sensitive part of my body!)
They also debuted a great line of new products — Sensual Strut scent is my favorite and smells sooooo good. I bought the body lotion, and the body wash that has exfoliating beads in it. The products are a little pricey but they smell so darn good that I think it’s worth every penny.
The wax they use goes on a smidge hotter than I’m used to — they do not use cloth strips to adhere to wax for removal — they use special wax that they rip off directly from your skin. Does it hurt «down there»? Yep. But the pain is fleeting and c’mon you are removing hair attached to your body so what do you expect?!
I have now done it 3 times and have been pleased with the results and the service every time.

I think I have seen almost every wax specialist here and I am obsessed! Mia is such a gem and always does an amazing job on my brows. She really knows how to make a girl feel comfortable with her sense of humor! Amy really knows her stuff when it comes to the products, which I appreciate because I’m an idiot when it comes to that stuff — also very good at brows. The store is always clean and the girls up front are super nice and really know how to help a girl save a buck. Been coming here for years and will continue on!

This location has the excellent and consistent waxing I have come to expect from an EWC, and the location is easy to get to with plenty of availability. The tables are starting to wear so they should probably be replaced soon, but my services are always performed correctly and professionally. Ask about the first time customer specials.

Mia is great and got the job done. Ask about the San Diego Thank you

Mia is a freakin’ rockstar. She’s so quick and always does an awesome job! Book with her if you can.

Char is my go to girl ! Very sweet & informative. Always pain free & fast ! & I never fail to pre book to make sure I get char !

Okay, so here’s my original post, where I gave only 1 star:
«I went here three days ago to get my very first ever Brazilian. Although my esthetician made me feel comfortable, the results are completely unwanted. I not only still have stray hairs left in many places, but the wax must have been way to hot. It looks as though I have third degree burns! I called yesterday right after I woke up and asked for a full refund as well as a refund for a service on my eyebrows that I have not yet used. The lady who answered said that it will take 48 – 72 hours for a manager to respond to my claim. I can honestly say I am extremely disappointed with this customer service. There should be at least one manager present once a day at the location, so they can handle these issues. I paid $ 200 dollars for my Brazilian and 12 services of eyebrow waxing and I have still not heard from management. This makes me very upset and infuriated. I would not recommend this company at all, especially at this location!!»
Now I want to let you know:
I was able to get a manager to respond today after posting this original review. Her name was Britney, she was very sweet and accommodating! She refunded the money for the 12 eyebrow waxing pass. And I am very much pleased with how she handled the situation. Still probably not going to go back, but I appreciate what they did for me.

Went in to get my eyebrows waxed.
Update: a little bump developed one day after getting my eyebrows waxed, right under my eyebrow — ingrown hair. I’ve never had an ingrown eyebrow hair.
They are very professional, concise, and know what they’re doing. Morgan was very time efficient and friendly. This wasn’t my first time going here — I’ve been happy with my service with another woman as well. I may join the club…

Went here for the first time last night! The girls up front were very helpful! Went back to see an esthetician and she was very professional! The salon was very clean and immaculate! I’ve had my eyebrows and lip waxed before but this was my first experience with hard wax and it was much less painful than regular wax & my skin was not as irritated as it has been in the past. I will definitely be returning! Had to update my review and add that I did start breaking out in all the areas I had waxed but I do have sensitive skin so it makes sense! I won’t come back only because of the way my skin reacted to their product. I’ll still to regular wax even though it leaves my skin red longer!

Alisa is amazing… If I could give her more Stars I would. I stop going to this place when they went up on their prices and I got tired of them ask me to purchase a package and their products ever time I went. I went back yesterday after a long break and it was the best wax I had in a long time. Alisa is very professional, funny and super cool. Tell her how you want it and she got you. I told her all hair remove and she’s didn’t leave one single hair. If you looking for a place for your waxing need I highly recommend Alisa you won’t be disappointed. Thank me Later:)

When I first heard about it, it seemed kind of bougie, ya know? Like my lady at the salon does fine so why should I pay more right? I was so wrong. This place is my favorite! They have prepaid packages and passes so that you always get a deal, and every month or so you can come in. It’s so quick and easy, and they always do a fantastic job. I used to think that getting waxed was just like a necessity, not a totally relaxing Treat Yo Self type of thing, but this place totally changed my mind.
Love it!

I love this place. I’ve had Mia char and Amy and all three were so amazing. I have been going there for over a year now and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Only down fall is they don’t do reminder calls :/​I haven’t got a reminder call in 6 months.
Other then that’s it’s a nice place

I’ve been to several European Wax Centers across CA. I would say they’re all good, but if you want amazing eye brows Amy in Seal Beach is the girl to see.

Hate EWC. Everything they’re about. The wax is great, the estheticians are usually very sweet and accommodating, but you can tell they are over worked. The sales pitches are out of control. Only giving 2 stars due to the wax and estheticians

Unfortunately, I will not be returning here due to the customer service of the receptionists. Every time I’m here, they try to pressure me in to signing up for one of their packages. Although I understand that the packages can be worth the money, I am just not able to purchase one right now. I tell them this every time, and feel frustrated by the time I leave because I feel they are not respecting and listening to my «sorry, not today» responses. They have a strict policy on being late, and I completely understand that, but one of the receptionists gave me a hard time for being late when I had actually been standing in line in the store waiting for them to finish helping other customers. This made me extremely uncomfortable. I do want to note however, that the waxing services I have received here have been great.

I used to be a client at a location in Northern California, so this was my first time at least at this location. Super friendly staff, as soon as you walk in, up until you leave. The location was pretty busy for 9 a. m, and not a single employee looked flustered. Which meant, organization! Love it. I was in and out wishing 20 minutes.
I’ll be booking with them from now own.

A few months ago I had my first Brazilian done at a Spa in Glendora & had a rather non-​enjoyable experience (expected considering it was my first time). The experience tho, was unpleasant enough to make me never want to wax again. But a good friend of mine convinced me to give it one more shot & to try her place, EWC-​Seal Beach. & I am so glad I did!
Amanda, did such a great job on both my eyebrows (which were free because of a promo they were offering) & my Brazilian, that was 50% for being a first timer at EWC.
They use a hard wax, so there was practically no yanking & it was amazing! The pain was seriously no where near as bad as my first time! Amanda was clean and thorough & super friendly! The wax didn’t get all of the fine hair, but was explained that by my next wax everything should be lifted by then. Thanks to Amanda I will definitely be back!
Ps, receptionist will try to upsell like crazy! I would tone it down just a bit. That way it doesn’t come across as too pushy (which it was). But otherwise, still very friendly.

My appt was easy to make their proces are crazy but probably the BEST wax I have had ever on my first visit. Everyone was very friendly this place is clean inside amazing.
My second visit was again clean, friendly and $$$ Ive never paid that much for bikini and eyebrows before almost absurd. If it would have been as good as the first visit OK BUT it wasnt two days later I had to go back to my old place to rewax eyebrows and areas of the bikini.

I was placed on a walk-​in only… understandable! I get it!!! totally get why they have such a policy. i come because my two waxers are amazing and have the best customer service.
my gripe is that «walk in only» guest was officially lifted off my account. so today was my first appointment in months since I was banned to make appointments. I made it on time with 5 mins to spare. And waited for 45mins!!! I ran over my lunch break-​so I don’t get paid for it. i simply asked them «what is their repercussion for missing the scheduled appointment?»

I loved the atmosphere and staff. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. However, this was my least favorite waxing experience.
I’m an avid Brazilian waxer and went to this place because my usual spot was booked. It was the most painful experience I’ve had even after doing my ritual help-​with-​waxing-​pain tricks before my appointment. The wax was too gooey at times and didn’t get the hair when she pulled. She had to wax a couple times in the same spots. Definitely wasn’t the cleanest waxing experience since there were still a considerable amount of stray hairs left. The pace I usually go to always does a clean and truly painless waxing job and assumed I’d have the same waxing experience at other salons. I was wrong.
I really think it’s the quality of the wax and not the person who did my wax job. I came here twice thinking it was just a fluke first experience, but I had the same experience both times. Again, I truly feel the workers were great, but that wax definitely was not.
