# 08:21 ETUni K Wax Brings an All-Natural Waxing Experience to More Americans as it Enters a New Era of Growth

_Female-Founded Brand Known for Its All-Natural, Gluten-Free Wax and Luxury Self-Care Approach Expands into New Markets Under New Leadership_

, /PRNewswire/ -- Uni K Wax, the female-founded waxing franchise redefining hair removal as an essential part of self-care, is entering a new phase of national growth while staying true to what has made it a standout brand for more than 30 years: a gentler, more personalized waxing experience designed for real people and real skin. Under new leadership, the brand is expanding to new markets across the country, with hopes of reaching **100 locations by 2028.**

**New Leadership, New Momentum**

After more than 30 years building a loyal following, Uni K Wax is entering its next chapter under the leadership of **Heather Harris**, who was appointed CEO in 2024. Harris brings nearly three decades of experience scaling consumer-facing brands and driving growth, and she is focused on preserving what guests love about Uni K while expanding the brand's reach.

"What drew me to Uni K Wax is how deeply guests trust the brand," said **Harris.** "We're building on a 30-year foundation of quality and care, and now we have the opportunity to introduce that experience to more people than ever before."

**Entering New Markets Fast**

Uni K Wax currently operates over **35 locations in Florida, New York, Texas, and New Jersey**, with an **additional 28 studios in development**. As part of its national expansion push, the brand has signed several multi-unit development agreements in new markets, including:

-   **A 10-unit deal in Arizona**
-   **3-unit deals in Connecticut, Michigan, Colorado, Florida, and Texas**

These agreements mark some of the largest growth commitments in the company's history and signal rising demand for Uni K Wax's differentiated approach.

The brand is growing nationwide and looking to expand strategically in Nashville, Charlotte, Boston, Atlanta, Dallas, Tampa, Austin, and beyond.

**The Uni K Difference**

Founded in 1993 by Noemi Grupenmager, Uni K Wax began with a personal mission: creating a waxing solution gentle enough for her daughter's sensitive skin and celiac-related needs. That mission led to the development of Uni K's proprietary **ElastiK Wax** – an all-natural, gluten-free formula made in the USA that adheres to hair rather than skin and is applied at body temperature to help reduce irritation.

Today, Uni K Wax positions waxing as a self-care ritual rather than a transactional beauty service. Each appointment is designed around the guest's needs, whether they're a first-time waxer, a busy professional, or someone maintaining a regular routine.

Key differentiators include:

-   Proprietary all-natural, gluten-free ElastiK Wax
-   Wax that clings to hair, not skin
-   Body-temperature application for greater comfort
-   Strict no double-dipping policy
-   Individual wax warmers for every guest
-   A One-Wax Guarantee focused on service quality
-   Fully customizable services at every visit

"Consumers today expect beauty services to feel safe, personalized, and truly worth their time," said **Nick Melnyk, Marketing & Operations Director at Uni K Wax.** "What sets Uni K Wax apart is that our experience was designed around the guest from the very beginning – from our proprietary all-natural wax to our strict hygiene standards and customized approach. We're not just providing hair removal, we're providing a more comfortable, thoughtful self-care experience that guests can trust."

Uni K Wax welcomes guests of all ages, genders, and hair types, helping make professional waxing more comfortable and accessible for everyone. As more consumers embrace waxing as part of their self-care routines, the brand continues to grow and is actively seeking franchise partners in new markets.
