European Wax Center began as a family-owned salon where two brothers had an idea to completely revolutionize the waxing experience. They set out to craft a formula that nourished the skin while also making the act of waxing as painless as possible. The creation of our proprietary Comfort Wax® helped propel European Wax Center to become the #1 wax specialty personal care brand in the United States with over 950 locations nationwide.
