In their own words
I am extremely disappointed with the front desk/managerial staff of this European Wax Center. I have been a loyal customer to EWC as a whole for 5 years and this EWC for over a year and they completely screwed me over. I needed to reschedule my appointment to a different time on the same day. I did so via the app (received confirmation via text and email of the rescheduled time) and instead of honoring my rescheduled time they canceled it.
Hi Erin. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback. We're sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience at our center and for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please rest assured that the satisfaction of our guests is a priority to us.
Didn't use this business as I walked out. I was 10 minutes early to my 12:15 appointment to hear the receptionist belittled the customer in front of me checking her out, and trying to push a package deal. She blasted the services the woman was receiving and for a good 10-15 minutes trying to persuade her to buy the packages; to the point I was going to step in. Then she finally checked me in and another girl for her 12:30.
Hi Kristina. We are so sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience with our Associate. It is always our goal to hire associates that exemplify our core values. We can assure you that this experience is not the exceptional service we pride ourselves on here at EWC.
Very disappointed in my latest visit - I called when I was on my way because I thought I might be about 5 minutes late, ended up only being 3 minutes late btw… and whom ever I spoke with on the phone was borderline rude ! Giving me the “talk” about the 9 minute policy lol! And when I arrived the stylist tried to explain that they book back to back and can’t let appointments run behind ! This on the EXACT day that I have a text asking me to come in earlier if possible because of a cancellation!!
Hi Lois. We are genuinely sorry to hear about your disappointing experience and the reception you received upon your arrival. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will address the issues mentioned to improve our customer service.
This place is trash and has gone downhill so much from when it opened. Waxers are like a revolving door, and any time I find one I like that listens and does what I ask, they leave. They constantly have to change appointment times because waxers call out and it’s annoying. Most recently, my appointment time was changed and I had a waxer who clearly was just rushing to leave because she was filing in for a call out. I tell her to keep my eyebrows thicker because I’ve been trying to grow out the ends.
Hi Janine. Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. We're so sorry to hear about your disappointing experience at our center. Rest assured we will pass your comments to management. We appreciate you being our guest!
I go to this place often and I love it. Denise is amazing. However, the last time I went, I was helped by Jamie. I not only told Jamie exactly what I wanted, but I even showed her to make sure she understood. She completely disregarded what I said and did what she want, leaving me bawling after I left. Not to mention then being pressured by the front desk lady to buy their packages, even after saying no countless times.
Hi Laura. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback. We always want to create the best experience for our guests in every way possible, so we are sorry to hear that you were unsatisfied with your service. Please rest assured that the satisfaction of our guests is a priority to us.
Had a wax with Melanie and it was the worst service i have ever received. I have been waxing with EWC for over 10 years. My wax service should have been an hour. I was there for an hour and twenty minutes and the services were not finished. She didn’t apply the wax on correctly and missed many areas. When i pointed out the areas that she missed she got even sloppier with her application and removal so i asked her to pull off whatever she had applied and left the appointment with half of my services done.
Hi Fitore. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback. We're sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience at our center and for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please rest assured that the satisfaction of our guests is a priority to us.
After my appt I went home to see that I had a considerable amount of hair patches not removed. So much so that I had to remove it myself. It’s my fault as I should not have trusted her to do her job and should have verified prior to leaving. However when paying that kind of money, I don’t expect to have to finish the job I paid for. She clearly needs more training! Only reason I’m giving it 2 stars is because the receptionist was amazing and the place was really clean with a great ambiance.
Hi Ariel. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback. We are sorry to hear that hair was left behind. Please rest assured that the satisfaction of our guests is a priority to us, and we want to ensure that you are pleased with both the quality of your services and your overall…
Denise was very kind makes you feel comfortable… but it says first time customers get a discount which I didn’t receive ! I was just being pressured into a bunch of packages by the lady at the front desk ..never once did she say she was taking anything off it was suppose to be 50% off for first time people which I did not receive …. I love Denise she was a pleasant person who makes you comfortable but I feel that I should of got what the website offers for first time clients !!!
HI Sara. Thanks for reaching out. We apologize if you have ever felt uncomfortable regarding the purchasing of our products or packages during any of your visits, as that is not our intention.

In their own words
Tetyana is the best! She’s super professional, quick, and makes waxing as comfortable as possible. Her work is always precise and she’s so friendly and easy to talk to. Highly recommend!
Hi Amal, we're happy to hear Tetyana's professional and friendly service made your waxing experience so comfortable and precise. Thank you for recommending her, and we look forward to your next visit!
I have been waxing with EWC forever. I just recently moved to Wanaque and this center is now the closest one to me. Right when you walk in the center is clean and looks high-end. The vibe is really calm and fun. Front desk is super unique and sweet. Everyone I've met here so far is great. I've been waxed by Denise and Megan and I love them both! They're so understanding, know what they're doing and really get all the hair up!
Hi Palma! Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. We love having you at our center and are happy to hear that you had a great experience. I will let the team know about your kind words. Have a great day!
I’ve had trouble finding a wax specialist that not only makes me comfortable but is a great waxer … but Tetyana checks all those boxes! I’ve only done eyebrow/lip waxing but Tetyana is the reason I’ve tried and will continue doing Brazilian waxes. She is extremely professional, keeps conversation to distract you, but also talks you through everything that she does while she’s waxing. She is truly amazing and the reason I will continue coming to EWC!!
Hi Olivia! We’re thrilled to hear Tetyana's professionalism and comforting approach have made your experiences amazing. We look forward to keeping you smooth and confident at EWC!
I absolutely love going to EWC in Pompton Lakes! This location is so clean and convenient to drive to from my house. The entire staff is absolutely accommodating and flexible with my schedule. I would like to give a big shoutout to my wax specialist Yessy, who is very caring and makes me feel very comfortable and confident before, during, and after each session. I could not think of any salon to recommend other than EWC in Pompton Lakes. <3
Hi Cassie! We really appreciate the time you took to give us your feedback. Its guests like you who help us grow and stay at the top of our waxing game!
