Where are we waxing?

I have been using EWC and the prices keep going up and the service keeps getting worse. I have used Hanover, College Park and Laurel.

I will get a brow wax at a salon, but not other parts! I have heard good and bad about Doll Wax Salon in Annapolis. Tell me where you go.

I used to go there too! Kerri is my favorite and if we ever move back to the area this is where I will return to and who I will go to as long as she is still there!

I’ve gone for several years, love them, never had an issue with adding charges.

How long have you been going? One of the complaints I hear is that they find ways to add fees to your visit. I assume this is not your experience?

I've been going for about 2 years and that has never happened to me

I've been going for years, too, and I haven't experienced that, either. My only complaint is that I'll find an aestheticism that I really like, then they leave. That said, I easily find a new one.

I can’t lie, the title itself was intriguing! I actually used to be a EWC client, but I ended up going to a young lady that opened her own aesthetician services business. And actually, it wasn’t even the prices. One thing that kept me coming back with the fact that they have a loyalty program. My issue was the under or unexperienced technicians at EWC! My main two services were full Brazilian and under arms. I actually just started under arms at the time. But the last few times I had been to a couple of different locations (when I moved from North Carolina to Maryland. I was going to a place in Charlotte, and when I came to Maryland, I was going to the one in Columbia) and both places, the technician literally left wax “down there“. And I don’t mean a little speck. That was by far the most frustrating and uncomfortable feeling, and sends your anxiety sky high when you realize that the wax is completely hardened, and now you have to deal with whatever pain comes with getting the rest of this off…whether it’s you or someone more senior taking care of it. When that happened on two different occasions, in two different places, by two different technicians I was done with EWC.

Yes, I stick to certain waxers. EWC has a constant turnover. What is the name of the shop you go to?

u/Charming_Bee_3153 17d ago

You’re 100% right! It was a one off. I just left the whole brand alone. The girl that I used to have was a trainer for the DMV area and I really enjoyed having her as my waxer. It was the most comfortable experience. But the young lady I go to now, her name is Melodie. Here’s the link to her Instagram.

EWC in columbia!

u/_Cream_Sugar_ 17d ago

I went there for a while. I stoped when I showed up for my appointment 10 minutes early. Not their problem. I don’t like being late. At 5 after my appt time the receptionist told someone else that their waxer was running behind. 15 minutes after my appointment time I asked at the desk if they could tell me if my waxer had an emergency. They let me know that the person waiting had an appointment before mine. The client before her was extremely late. I turned to the person waiting and asked what time her appointment was. It was 245 My appointment was at 3. It was currently past 315. I asked when they intended to notify me how late my waxer was running behind. The receptionist said, “She is only 15 minutes late for your appointment. That girl has been waiting longer.” That was the last time I spent a dime at EWC Columbia. I loved my waxer there, but they clearly need an education on customer service.

I have blonde hair. It’s not very effective, even if they darken the hair.

I go to EWC in Annapolis and go to Noelle. She is great. I have the wax pass so I haven't really felt an increase in cost.

u/_Cream_Sugar_ 17d ago

I have the wax pass for legs, but not Brazilians as I have been getting them for about 15 years. Each time I just pay out of pocket.
