Here Today: European Wax Center

Westport residents and attorneys Joseph and Susan Maya have opened the first franchise at 409 Post Road East.  While you can’t get a massage or facial here, the spa offers a full range of hair removal services, from eyebrows to toes, at competitive price point.   According to Inc. Magazine, the European Wax Center is the fastest growing franchise in the nation, with over 300 centers across America.  The Westport location is the Mayas first, and the first in Connecticut, with a second planned to open in Norwalk shortly.  The waxing procedure itself is incredibly painless, thanks to the brand’s proprietary strip-less Comfort Wax, a deep amethyst formula that removes hair easily without damaging skin (there’s no alcohol).  Particular attention is paid to cleanliness and hygiene.  Maya says, “There is no double-dipping here.  In many places, the aesthetician puts the applicator back in the wax for a second time after using it on the customer, contaminating the wax.  We never do that – nor do we recycle wax - we have incredibly high hygiene standards.”  The brand new facility also features private rooms with heated waxing beds and licensed waxing specialists.  They are so confident that you’ll love their services and be back for more, they are offering a free wax offer to first time guests; women can receive a free bikini line, eyebrow or underarm wax, while gentlemen can opt for a free eyebrow, ear or nose hair removal.
