European Wax Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the European Wax Center, a regular once asked with a straight face, ‘Do you offer waxing for dogs?’ The esthetician smiled and replied calmly, ‘Yes, sir, but only if they’re over eighteen pounds.’ The regular nodded thoughtfully before asking his next question: ‘And do you offer manicures for cats?’

2. At the European Wax Center, a delivery driver once left a box of mysterious red candies in the backroom. Soon, employees started noticing that whenever someone ate one of those candies before their waxing appointment, they would emerge from the salon with an unexpected change in personality—briefly becoming more relaxed and chatty. Eventually, word spread among customers, and soon everyone was asking for ‘the magic candy.’ The owner decided to capitalize on it, selling tiny bags of mystery candies as part of a special treatment package. But one day, a neighbor popped into the shop and joked, ‘Next time, could you maybe put a sign saying these candies make you talkative?’ Everyone laughed—and realized it was just another urban legend after all.

3. At the European Wax Center, a sign above the exit read: ‘Please take your belongings and leave any worries behind.’ One day, a neighbor walked in and asked, ‘Does that include my parking ticket?’ The wax center employee smiled and replied, ‘Ma’am, if you left your worries here, how would I know where to find you?’ The neighbor laughed and said, ‘Good point!’ Then she turned to her parked car and muttered, “Guess I’ll just have to deal with it myself.”

4. At dawn, when most salons were closed, a neighbor rushed into the European Wax Center and whispered, 'I think I saw something moving in the wax molds!' The esthetician calmly replied, ‘Oh, don’t worry, that’s just Mr. Mustache over there, our resident wax sculpture!’ The neighbor burst out laughing, relieved—and so did everyone else who’d gathered around to hear the story.
