How much do you tip at European Wax Center? ›

How Much Should You Tip Your Waxing Expert? “Like any other service environment, gratuity is at the discretion of our guests, but 20% is standard and a good starting point,” says Helene Marie, waxing expert at European Wax Center.

Wearing loose, thin clothing won't irritate your skin like restrictive or thick, stiff fabrics will. Let your skin breathe!

Consistency is key. With regular visits, your hair will grow back thinner and finer, which means better results and less discomfort. Visit us every three to five weeks. Get a Wax Pass, which helps you plan your routine and saves you money!

Additionally, Comfort Wax® is an alcohol-free, hard wax that doesn't adhere to the skin.

While most people tip between 10 to 20 percent for a wax, staff would really like you to tip anywhere from 15 to 25 percent for a job well done, Grochowska said. For a quick brow wax (that may be priced at $10 or less), a couple of dollars for tip is fair and appropriate.

Depending on your experience and how happy you are with the service and the wax itself, 15%-20% is industry standard average tip for a Brazilian wax.

Yes, a Brazilian wax does include the inner lips. After doing a Brazilian wax ourselves, we can confirm that a true Brazilian wax aims to remove all hair from the front, back, and everything in between. This includes the more delicate areas like the inner lips.

Always ensure your hair is at least ¼ of an inch long before coming into your appointment. This is about the size of a rice grain. If your hair is longer than ½ an inch, feel free to trim it. We will do this for you otherwise.

Be hairy. Your hair should be at least 1/4 inch in length (which makes it long enough to lay flat on your skin). Please don't shave for at least 3 weeks prior to your appointment to ensure that your hair is long enough! Also, if you've “let it go” down there and it seems out of control, don't worry!

What is a Brazilian wax? A Brazilian wax is a waxing service that completely removes pubic hair from the front, upper thighs, and butt. Based on your personal preference, you can leave a small strip of hair, a triangle, or square on the front. Brazilian waxing is for all genders at European Wax Center.

Can hair be too long for waxing? ›

Definitely. If your hair is longer than 1/2-inch long, it might be too long to wax. Before your appointment, you can lightly trim the hair with a pair of clean hair cutting shears. If you don't have shears, you might want to leave it up to your technician to trim before your appointment.

If it's your first time, expect it to be a bit painful, though it is fairly quick. "Expect the service to be more uncomfortable if you have never waxed, are coming off shaving, or if your hair is a little longer," Patek tells Allure. She adds, however, that it does get easier every time.

They are put into a locked drawer and handed out at the end of every day. Cash and credit card tips are both accepted. Tips from guest in cat are given to your wax associate.

When it comes to detailed cleaning services, such as waxing, polishing, and interior detailing, a 15-20% tip is commonly recommended. These services require additional time and effort, as the car wash professionals meticulously work on every nook and cranny of your vehicle to ensure a thorough cleaning.

For high-priced hair services, such as $500, should the tip be a fixed amount or a percentage of the service cost? The tip should still be a percentage of the service cost. A consistent 15% to 20% tip on a $500 service shows generous appreciation for the stylist's effort and time.

Can I take a shower or a bath after waxing? You can shower after waxing, which helps to get rid of the little bumps that may appear after the hair grows back. If you don't shower right away, you might end up with stubble and some ingrown hairs. Use lukewarm water and some natural soap around two hours after your wax.
