Founded by industry visionary Noemi Grupenmager in 1993, Uni K Wax transformed waxing standards forever. Tired of subpar services, Noemi created a unisex waxing salon in South Beach, Florida, offering fast, affordable, and hygienic treatments in a spa-like setting. Pioneering All-Natural Elastic Wax: Our proprietary wax, manufactured exclusively BY us FOR us, is all-natural, gluten-free, and caters to mass consumers seeking natural products. 71% of Uni K’s customers cite our proprietary all-natural wax as a key reason for choosing UKW. Thanks to our innovative elastic wax, service times can be 50% shorter, allowing waxers to perform multiple applications, thus increasing revenue per unit of time. Our wax can be applied on wider surfaces and at body temperature, offering a comfortable, completely non-irritating experience. Our on-site labs, supervised by trained technicians, ensure pristine preparation and antiseptic cleaning for every customer. Our waxers undergo rigorous training at UKW University, mastering our unique methodology tailored to Uni K Wax’s high standards.
