Free Wax at European Wax Centers



Do you like to get your eyebrows waxed or other parts of your body? I found a place that makes the waxing nearly painless and best of all the first visit of an eyebrow, bikini line or underarm for women or an ear, nose or brow wax for men is FREE no purchase necessary! Must be first time guest and resident of the state in which you are getting your service done.


All you have to do is go to one of the 650 locations in the United States and tell them Dawn Gear sent you. Then you can enjoy a free waxing as a new client. If you liked the waxing experience of these 4 steps

1. They cleanse you to make sure you have no makeup or oils on your body 
2. They put a protectant on to help your skin before the wax.
3. They use a comfort wax that uses no strips to remove the wax. The wax is put on and cools about 30 seconds and the technician pulls the wax off with the hairs. It doesn't really hurt (depending on where it is). I had my eyebrows and lip waxed my eyebrows did not hurt just the lip a little. 
4. They rejuvenate your skin with a calming cream on the face or an ingrown hair serum for body treatments.

If you enjoyed your experience you can come back for more and make use of these offers!

1. Refer a friend and if they use your name you can get 500 points or $5 in credit to use on services or products. You can redeem in $5 values.


2. Earn reward points for booking your next appointment in store or online or when you buy products or gist cards.

3. You can get an unlimited wax pass for as much waxing in an area that you paid for when you want at any European Wax  location.


4. The Prepaid Wax Pass


***** Note if you are freaking out about the upfront cost for the unlimited or prepaid plans you can if the total is more than $150 split the payments up into 3 payments to help you offset the total cost. *****

Remember if you are a first time guest you can get the most discount on these offers rather than waiting.

Here is a list of all the types of waxing they do and the total cost for 1 session.

Happy Waxing!

School Supply Price Points

If you’ve wondered about the best/stock-up prices for school related items, then look no further! I have compiled a list of the absolute lowest price for popular items and the typical sale prices for items.

As an example, the price point for a 24 count box of Crayola Crayons is 25¢. In other words, I would stock up on Crayola Crayons whenever I find them priced at 25¢ or less. Since Back to School sales are already starting up again in full swing, you should have an opportunity to snag these crayons at this price or less if you just wait patiently over the next few weeks. And this same theory applies to all the school supplies on my list!

To view HIP’s School Supply Price Points, just click on this link or on the image above to print or save the PDF file to your computer! I would encourage you to consider printing it out and placing it in your Coupon Binder for reference when you are at the store. Or, if you’d rather, you can go here and save the Price Points document to your computer and edit/change the prices based on your personal shopping experiences!
DISCLAIMER: Note that several of the items on my list have the lowest price as FREE. Keep in mind that to get this FREE price, you may be required to make a minimum purchase (as is often the case at Staples) and/or to sign up for a Rewards Program or submit a rebate. Also note that these items may only be “free” once or twice per year – for this reason, I have given you a range.

Thanks, Hip2Save!
