Uni K Wax Center

I am no longer returning to UniK as the price has increased (not just a little, but almost double!) and the service has gone down. The last few visits have left me with terrible ingrowns and I feel as it was a very rushed service leaving behind stray hairs.

This place looks clean but warning they are NOT CLEAN. They use the same wax for several people and the same spatula on several people. Yes they double and triple dip which means yes bacteria city. So now guess who has a staph infection and has to be on medication my fiancé who I have to stay away from bc it’s contagious. At first just thought it was irritation due to pulling but he went to the doctor and the doctor diagnosed staph infection. So yea great now he looks like a marked up freak and He feels gross. His fault for not watching them gross who did they use that on before him so word of advice if you go here watch them closely make sure they don’t use the same spatula that they used on someone else and make sure they open a fresh wax. If not leave bc getting staph infection is not cool. Oh and you may ask how I know it was from them well bc the infection is on his arms where He got waxed and I saw the marks pop up within hours of the waxing.
200 dollars to get staph they should have paid him.
In response to Ozzie G. First of all the wax was in the room half full when I got there
Second they definitely put that spoon or whatever it was on my body
Now if you are from corporate you better have a talk with them. I still can not get rid of this stupid infection on my chest
Btw my gf was mad and made it about her. They know who I am and I am glad to show pictures if you like. Also my doctor confirmed staph so fix it or close the business it is just a matter of time before someone gets really ill.

This place is GREAT! SUNNY is the best — if you ever were hesitant about getting waxed Sunny will put your mind at ease — she truly gets joy out of hair removal and does nothing but make you feel completely comfortable in her presence. Great place — always ask for Sunny!

Sunny is awesome! Definitely one of the most pain free waxing experiences ever! She’s detail oriented and makes you feel very comfy. Highly recommended.

Pros:
1.The place is really clean. Super professional and super clean and you have privacy just great.
2.The staff is really nice. They are really comforting and sweet.
3.There waxing services other than Brazilians are fine. I say it not because they don’t do a good job.
Cons:
If you plan on getting a Brazilian if you have ingrown (hairs) on your lady parts its really hard to get everything out simply by using hard wax… they don’t use tweezers at the end or anything to help other than the wax… so whatever your left with after they do like a few coats of the hard wax is just there. I mean I would go back as long as you don’t expect to leave 100% happy if you’ve ever been to a Brazilian (European) waxing center were they tweeze and everything. I use it as an alternative when my waxing lady in queens is not there.

Came here on recommendation of a friend and was sorely disappointed. I thought they would be a good alternative to European wax center but the quality is so much worse. Not only did it hurt more but afterwards I had horrible ingrown hairs that I’ve never had before. I will not be coming back that’s for sure

I really like the cleanliness of the place. The receptionist was very friendly. My scheduled waxer was late so that was annoying. Other than that I loved the whole experience and will be back.

Place is clean, staff are very sweet and attentive. Even was suggested to go online for a discount on my next visit. I am absolutely in love with this place. First time I went to someone for a Brazilian wax and they didn’t make me bleed. Sunnie was excellent and I can’t wait to go back.

My first time was today with Sunny. I’ve been to another place and was really nervous because it usually hurts .but wow it barely hurt! Great experience can’t wait to go back! Thank you Sunny!

Jalpa is amazing and so sweet we were cracking jokes the whole time which made my experience soooooo nice and not awkward! The staff is great!

Overall I am extremely pleased with my visits to Unik Wax. I’ve only gotten the full Brazilian. Sunny, my waxing technician, is absolutely wonderful, very thorough and professional. Two issues, one the wax is not ouch less. It’s not horrible but it does smart. Not a big deal. The other is the front desk. Nicole is wonderful. Very accommodating and helpful, especially when I had an issue with points. Two other times were problems. My first visit I was placed in a room, but no one was told I was there so after 20 minutes I got up and left. Several visits later, My receipt was confused with the woman ahead of me and my points were deducted from her bill. Not happy, but once again, Nicole helped set it right. I definitely recommend them as the front desk doesn’t detract from the professional service you receive.

Very nice staff and my wax comes out awesome. Been going there for a few months and it’s great. Only things is it could b a bit cold inside on some days. But a great wax is worth a little chill

I’ve been waxed by both Sunny and Jalpa and they were both so nice and so fast! The whole place is very clean and everyone that works there has been a delight to deal with so far. Booking online makes it easy to get in whenever you want, plus you get points by booking online, which you can cash in for money off your service. My only gripe is that the treatment room walls don’t reach the ceiling, so you can hear what is going on all over the place. I’ve been waxing for 4 years and this place has the least pain I’ve had, and they’re always thorough and offer tips for making sure you get the best results (exfoliate, schedule regular appointments, etc).

Wow! just wow! I have been getting Brazilians for quite some time now and this is by far the best wax I have ever come across. It goes on smooth and soft and it is so much less painful than the regular wax with the strips. Def. will be a loyal customer! Didn’t get the lady’s name but from the reviews it seems they are all fantastic. The young lady in the front desk was super sweet professional and courteous. And you get $ 10.00 for your first time! I highly recommend Uni K Wax Center :)

I’ve been here twice now, both times for a full Brazilian. At about $ 50 it’s expensive, especially as there’s places in the neighborhood I could get it done for $ 15. However, I’ll be coming back here since it’s clean and professional, two factors that go a long way in my eyes. Sunny and Jamie were my technicians. Both were skilled, thorough, knowledgable, and efficient.
The wax is described as ouchless, but I’ll be honest, don’t come here expecting a pain free wax. You’re getting hair ripped out of your skin, of course it’s going to hurt. And while their wax does hurt less than other wax, the technicians do much larger strips at a time and the pain factor ends up being about the same, although for a shorter period of time.
There’s at least six rooms, but I think there may be more in the back. Rooms are relaxing and well lit, not too spacious but not cramped either. The one aspect I dislike is that the rooms’ walls don’t reach the ceiling. I’d appreciate the higher level of privacy, but I get the feeling that they stagger the appointments so that customers aren’t in adjoining rooms.
Overall, I highly recommend shelling out the few extra dollars and coming here. Unless you’re a fan of unsanitary, unprofessional, cramped, dingy places. ;)

Love this place. Jalpa is amazing always does a great job and suzan is so sweet at the front desk!

I have been getting full brazilians for years now (honey/​azulene/​chocolate/​hard/​etc), and I am someone who will return loyally for a service no matter the distance. With a job in midtown, I had no problems going to Astoria for my first wax based on a strong referral. I have since used Lifebooker to find salons in surrounding areas to the job. In my 8 years in Sunset Park, I have never needed to find a salon close to home until this weekend. I didn’t see anything appealing via LB, so I turned to my fellow Unilocalers and searched via zip code.
Just a neighborhood away, Uni K jumped out at me with its ratings and several locations. I wondered what an «ouchless» wax really was like. I easily signed up for an account online and made an appointment for the next morning. I was a little confused by all the options (bikini/​brazilian/​front/​top/​back/​what!?) but figured I could choose the Brazilian front and have them explain what I needed when I arrived and asked.
I wanted it all off so the choice was exactly that — «Full Brazilian Bikini Front Top and Back.» I was late but they didn’t penalize me (note: you do not need a CC to make an appointment online!), and they were able to squeeze me in for the next hour. The two women at the front desk, Suzan and Nelly, were friendly and accommodating. Suzan did a great job of explaining their wax technique, even though I hadn’t asked.
The facilities are very clean and simple, and for a salon to focus purely on waxing, you know you are going to receive stellar service. My technician’s name was Sunny, and she was exactly that! We chatted just enough, and I was extremely surprised and happy to receive such a great wax.
The Uni K formula is a sticky, lukewarm wax which was very different from anything I have ever had because it was not HOT. I had to look down a couple of times, because I didn’t believe this room temp wax was getting everything in one swipe. It was doing just that. Plus, the wax is put on so thick, that it is actually the wax that they’re peeling off of you, not a separate cloth strip on top that they have to reapply and grab again. Sunny also quickly tweezed any excess without making me feel uncomfortable. Needless to say I was elated when she was done, it was absolutely the most pleasant waxing experience I have ever had.
This will be my Brooklyn go-​to, and I am already recommending it to all my friends! Thank you Uni-​K! Worth the trip!

Great place to go all of your waxing needs! Everyone is friendly — from registration to the techs! Sunny is amazing, nice, and has a great sense of humor. The Bay Ridge location is very clean, smells fresh, sanitary, and relaxing. They really get 5 stars but I have them 4 because of the time it took to park (no fault of the business). If you go… tell them that I recommended you!

To establish credibility, I’ve been a Unikwax customer since 2009, and have always recommended it to friends. The midtown location is my favorite – all the waxers are fast, professional, and wonderful to work with! It’s out of the way, but I go there every time.
I live in Bay Ridge, so when I found out this location was opening, I was elated. I booked my appointment in its 3^rd week of opening. My wax was UNLIKE any other wax I’ve ever had at the Midtown location! The waxer was somewhat unprofessional, and very slow with the service. What is usually a 15 minute session at the Midtown location, took about 25 minutes here. She seemed to be taking her time, and really liked to pile on that wax (which is just NOT necessary; one swipe of the wax and you’re good, my friend.) She seemed to be almost «playing» with the wax, moving it this way and that. She also kept turning off and on the fan, which was very distracting and time-​consuming. I wish she would just leave it on. Another thing is, she kept apologizing whenever she pulled off the wax. I’m sure she was just being polite, but hey, I’m here, I’m paying for this service, just do it and let me on my way.
I REALLY wanted to like this place. Maybe once their staff is more professional and have more experience, I will return. But until then, I will continue going to the midtown location. Maybe they can bring in some of their staff to teach them how to do these services properly.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for finally opening a location in Brooklyn!
I would make special trips into the city to just get my waxing done, but now, I REALLY have no excuse not to cleanup my act!
If you’ve ever been to a Uni K Wax Center, this set up in Brooklyn is just the same — clean, friendly, and private for your privates. Set up an account online and get notifications for deals on packages and special promotions!
Now, the naming convention of what I call a Brazilian wax, is actually very different from how Uni K calls it, but if you’re not sure, I always ask.
Mamta was the girl who catered to my needs, and she was SO patient, gentle, and even at times, a bit comical!
Overall, the process took 20 minutes or so, but the outcome was NOT red, but perfectly flawless! She really took her time, and even tweezed a little bit until she seemed overall satisfied. Great way to build a client base! Don’t forget to steal a pen and a nail file on your way out; it was encouraged to do so!
Highly recommended to come via transit; if you have patience, drive around for parking in this congested area.
