Uni K Wax

I started going to Uni K about 6 months ago after trying every other waxing place in Hoboken and I am officially hooked. The staff is extremely welcoming and very helpful. They always make me feel comfortable and every wax is at the highest of qualities. The salon is always clean and neat, and everything is done in a professional manner. Uni K has never let me down, especially my favorite wax specialist, Jalpa. I could not imagine going anywhere else! I highly recommend them — please try it out and spread the word!

I’d never gotten waxed before and I’d heard good things about UniKwax, so it was perfect when I stumbled upon their new location in Hoboken. Everyone was so friendly and made me feel really comfortable. The technician knew it was my first waxing experience, so she explained how the wax, itself, worked and dictated each step along the way so nothing came as a surprise. It really wasn’t as painful as I was expecting, which was nice!
I’ve since made another visit and I’m still just as happy with my wax! This will definitely be my go-​to spot.

I have been using uni k for over a year. I started waxing at the bay ridge location where I live. It has been there for a few years and is very popular. I now travel to Hoboken to follow one of the wax specialist I have always used for my service.
Overall I am very satisfied with uni k’s service and price. What I am especially pleased with is the customer service I have been provided.
I would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, clean wax. Not to mention they have organic wax with no strips which makes the experience MUCH less painful.

Uni K wax has the best wax ever! It is less painful than any other waxes that I have tried. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a great waxing experience.

I’m a loyal European Wax Center patron, but I was really excited when Unik Wax opened up downtown because maybe they would be just as awesome and I wouldn’t need to trek uptown.
They weren’t.
I went for the free bikini line promotion because how can you turn that down? Here are all the reasons why I’ll never go back.
1. At one point the woman waxing me held the piece of wax she had just ripped off in front of my face, and said, «isn’t it cool how you can see the roots?» WHAT? That’s disgusting! A professional would never ever do that.
2. My wax was way too hot. And I asked several times if there was something they could do about it and it was never fixed. The technician’s solution was to hold the Popsicle stick in front of a strong blowing fan, causing the wax to drip all over the table I was on, as well as myself.
3. She got a good amount of wax on my underwear and I needed to throw them out when I got home.
4. It took FOREVER. It took way longer just to get waxed at Unik than it does for me to walk 11 blocks uptown, get the same amount of services at European, and walk all 11 blocks back downtown.
5. The tables are against the wall, so every time they need to get to your other side they have to climb over you.
6. She missed massive sections of my leg. Even with taking forever to wax them. So I ended up having to wax them myself anyway.
7. When I was paying, the woman at the front desk asked if I’d give them five stars. That’s awkward. Especially after the level of service I’d just had.
Save your time and money and just go uptown to European Wax Center.

I’d previously been a UniK Wax loyalist because it’s clean, professional, affordable and relatively painless so I was excited to see a location popping up in Hoboken. I’ve been to the Flatiron and Hell’s Kitchen locations but maybe this rapid expansion is coming at a cost. I wasn’t very impressed with my experience in the Hoboken location. The staff seems unenthused and wasn’t very friendly but more disappointing are the sharp price increases. I was used to getting a full Brazilian in the front and nothing in the back for $ 29 and now it’s $ 45 which is a dramatic increase. They should have done a step wise approach to raising prices so this increase wasn’t so immediately jarring. I may switch to European Wax Center which is further away in Hoboken but now pretty price comparable and more painless in my experience.
