Uni K Wax Center

In 1993, this waxing chain debuted in the itty-bitty-bikini capital of South Beach, Florida. Since then, it’s grown to develop a loyal clientele and 24 nationwide locations (including a Murray Hill spot). Due to the high demand for fuzz stripping, Uni K has opened a second NYC branch in the Flatiron District. What makes the Uni K experience stand out is its exclusive, natural wax blend (pinesap, aloe vera and beeswax) that doesn’t require paper for removal, thereby reducing the ouch factor. Prices are also extremely competitive with other spas that use stripless wax (like Bliss Spa). Some of our favorite hair-removal zones for both guys and gals include upper and lower lip ($5–$11), eyebrows ($16–$25), Brazilian bikinis ($23–$65) and backs ($27–$43). As a bonus, you can purchase packages: Buy six of the same service, and get one free. Uni K also offers treatments for small, unusual places such as toes ($13–$15), nostrils ($9–$11) and chins ($11–$13). Neat freaks will be happy to know that the spa is cleaned 14 to 18 hours each day, ensuring it’s just as spotless as your new fur-free zone.
