Uni K founder Noemi Grupenmager and an Argentinean chemist spent two years perfecting their wax formula, and since 1993 she's single-handedly revolutionized waxing in Miami – a.k.a. the bikini capital of the world.
A specific species of Argentinean pine trees grows in Grupenmager’s homeland and their sap's the main (and secret) ingredient in her concoction — there's also beeswax and aloe vera. The sap's collected in “its most purest state,” which means the trunks of the trees are cut open and pulled back instead of being cut down. The trees look like they're “crying or weeping” as their sap drips into bags below, but, like a minor cut on human skin, the trees heal.
Grupenmager says her refreshingly scented, bright green wax won't “shock your skin” because it “never exceeds one degree above normal body temperature” when applied and it doesn’t harden like typical salon wax—it stays soft and warm.
On top of all of that, the wax is 100% biodegradable, but each Uni K Wax center has what Grupenmager calls a “laboratory” where a lab technician is on site and works exclusively with the wax. Every client receives their own canister of wax that's been prepared upon arrival, and, so as to avoid excessive waste, each canister contains precisely enough wax for their services. She also offers her own line of face and body products including an amazing Body Perfect Dry Oil Spray. The apricot, peach and squalene oils really hydrate the skin.
Florida’s once best-kept secret is officially out, and they're excited to announce the fall opening of their new boutique in New York's Flat Iron district and 50 more openings planned across the US before the end of this year!
