European Wax Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, after closing, a soft voice came over the loudspeaker at the European Wax Center: ‘If you’re not done waxing, don’t leave yet.’ Employees looked at each other, puzzled but amused. One night, an elderly neighbor walked in, saying he needed emergency waxing for his mustache. The staff was confused until he explained it had gotten tangled with his beard during dinner. They laughed it off, and soon everyone knew the center as ‘the place where even your facial hair gets special treatment’.

2. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, the doors of the European Wax Center would gently open on their own. A regular noticed it first—the sound of quiet clicks and whispers as if someone were testing the locks. One night, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps echoing through the empty hallway. Curious, he followed them only to find an old man in a trench coat whispering into his mirror. The next day, everyone agreed that maybe it was just the wax making him talkative.

3. At dawn, when the city was waking up, someone noticed that the European Wax Center doors were ajar. Inside, amidst the waxing supplies, stood an old suitcase. But who left it there and why? Curious employees opened the suitcase to find nothing but a pile of old newspapers and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Forgot my wax strips again.’ Turns out, it belonged to a regular who always forgot his personal waxing essentials.

4. A regular customer once asked the receptionist: ‘Do you ever get strange visitors here?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘Only wax models.’ And then one day... And then one day a delivery driver walked in with a box under his arm. He looked around nervously and whispered to the receptionist, ‘Is it okay if I leave these… wax horses here for a bit?’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the poor delivery guy who thought he was being discreet.
