European Wax Center is the largest US body-waxing franchise chain with about 900 centers across 45 states, publicly traded on Nasdaq under ticker EWCZ since August 2021, headquartered in Beverly Hills California, founded in 2004 in South Florida by David Coba, Joshua Coba, Jessica Coba, and David Berenson, and operated through a heavily franchised model (about 99 percent franchised) with proprietary Comfort Wax (hard wax) as the signature service material.

The questions readers actually ask: what time does European Wax Center open today, when does the center close, are they open Sunday or Saturday, are they open on holidays, how the Wax Pass and Unlimited Wax Pass subscriptions work, and whether the First Wax Free offer applies at this center.

Two European Wax Center specific things worth knowing: most centers run 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Saturday, and 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Sunday with most centers closed Christmas Day chain-wide. The chain offers the signature First Wax Free promotion for new guests (one free service from a list including underarm, eyebrow, bikini line, or lip wax) plus two prepaid Wax Pass packages (9 or 12 sessions at roughly 40 percent off the regular per-service price) and a monthly Unlimited Wax Pass subscription, making it one of the few subscription-membership personal-services chains outside of massage and fitness.

The offer is for first-time guests only at any participating European Wax Center location, requires reservations in advance, and standard pricing applies for any add-on services or larger waxing areas (such as full leg or Brazilian) booked alongside the free service. Confirm First Wax Free eligibility at your specific center before booking.

Christmas Eve typically runs reduced 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM hours; the chain reopens with reduced hours December 26 (popular gift-card redemption day) and resumes full hours December 27. Christmas Day closure is one of the few full chain-wide closures across the franchise system.

Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve typically run reduced 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM hours. Most centers remain open with regular hours on Veterans Day, Columbus Day, MLK Day, Presidents Day, and Juneteenth.

What is a Wax Pass and how does it work?

European Wax Center offers two prepaid Wax Pass options: the standard 9-Pack (nine prepaid sessions of one waxing service) and the 12-Pack (twelve prepaid sessions), both priced at roughly 40 percent off the regular per-service rate. Wax Passes are tied to one specific service (such as Brazilian, full leg, or eyebrow) and can be redeemed at any European Wax Center location nationwide. The chain also offers an Unlimited Wax Pass monthly-subscription option for unlimited services on a single body area. Wax Pass purchases never expire as long as the chain operates the program.

What waxing services does European Wax Center offer?

European Wax Center offers a full menu of body waxing services using proprietary Comfort Wax (hard wax): face waxing (eyebrow shaping, lip, chin, sideburn, full face), body waxing for women (underarm, half arm, full arm, half leg, full leg, bikini line, full bikini, Brazilian, stomach, back, chest), body waxing for men (chest, back, full back, full chest, abdomen, shoulders, neck), and combination packages. Service availability is consistent chain-wide. Cost varies by service area and market; eyebrow wax is the lowest-priced service and full leg or Brazilian is the highest. Comfort Wax is hypoallergenic and designed to remove fine hair without sticking to skin.

Do I need a Wax Pass to book an appointment?

No. Single-session waxing service is available at standard pricing without any Wax Pass commitment; about half of European Wax Center session volume comes from single-session non-pass guests. The Wax Pass options are designed for guests who plan multiple visits (4 to 6 week intervals are typical for body waxing) and offer about 40 percent savings vs the per-session price. Members of the Wax Pass program also receive 20 percent off retail products at participating centers.

Are estheticians at European Wax Center licensed?

Yes. All wax specialists at European Wax Center are state-licensed estheticians or cosmetologists required by state law to maintain professional licensure. Educational requirements vary by state (typically 600 to 1500 hours of training plus state board exam). European Wax Center operates Wax University (proprietary in-house training program) for all new wax specialists, focused specifically on hard-wax technique using Comfort Wax. Specific specialist credentials (years of experience, training certifications) vary by individual; most centers list specialist bios on the center page.

Can I use my Wax Pass at any European Wax Center?

Yes. Wax Pass packages and Unlimited Wax Pass subscriptions can be redeemed at any of the ~900 European Wax Center locations nationwide, not just the home center where the pass was purchased. This makes the pass particularly valuable for travelers and people who relocate. Some center-specific perks (referral discounts, local promotional events) may not transfer between franchises, but core Wax Pass redemption is honored chain-wide.

What is the European Wax Center customer service phone number?

European Wax Center customer service is 1-855-392-9299 (1-855-EWC-WAXX), available for general inquiries, Wax Pass account questions, gift card support, and corporate matters. Each European Wax Center has its own local center phone listed in the locator below; for center-specific questions (appointment scheduling, specialist availability, service offerings) calling the local franchise directly is faster than the corporate line.
