Uni.K.Wax: A Natural Waxing Experience

IMG_0183

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times, I really do love Twitter. It is the perfect way to get quick answers from local New Yorkers.  The other day I tweeted for help in finding the best place in New York City for waxing. Luckily, three different people suggested Tabi at Uni.K.Wax in Murray Hill.

I was suspicious at first as I’d never heard of this waxing chain but, from their website, I could tell that it is the waxing equivalent of Massage Envy. Each of their locations across the US specialize in all different types of waxing services, each promising the most pleasant waxing experience due to their patented wax formula.

I figured I had nothing to lose, especially with their reasonable prices, and quickly booked an appointment.

Upon entering, their facility reminded me of a dentist office, complete with a small waiting room and calm pastel colored walls.

I perused their catalog of services while I waited for my aesthetician, Tabi.  IMG_0186Their service range the gamut, including but not limited to your typical eyebrow, upper lip, bikini, and full leg waxes.  For those interested, they even have a 2 hour full body waxing session. NO THANK YOU!

Within five minutes, Tabi called my name and quickly escorted me back past 10 other private rooms into our room, #3.

IMG_0184 IMG_0185 Upon entering the room, I found a simple setup of a waxing station and an “examining table.” IMG_0187IMG_0188

I loved that the entire facility, including this room, was spotless. The walls were all a very mellow peach color, relaxing spa music was playing throughout, and my room smelled of spa candles. This was already a wonderful experience and my service had yet to begin.

Tabi quickly talked me through the service, asked me questions, and then stepped out while I prepared for my waxing.

The entire process which followed took less than 10 minutes. She was quick, thourough, and talked to me the entire time which kept my mind off the pain. One of the tricks was their wax. The Uni-K-Wax really is amazing. It is 100% natural and has a different consistency then any hard wax I’ve seen. It stretches and is more pliable than other waxes which makes for a quick and easy process.

IMG_0189 I highly recommend Uni-K-Wax to anyone in New York City, Florida, or California who is looking for a clean, relaxing environment for their next wax.

To find out more or book an appointment, head over to their website, www.Uni-K-Wax.com.

*I was not compensated in anyway for this review. I was merely pleased and excited with the wonderful experience I had today after a year of searching for the “right” waxing experience in NYC.
