Because of the Pink Tax, women pay an average of $1,351 extra per year more than men on the same basic goods and services. Throughout a woman's life, that really adds up. In April 2018, European Wax Center decided to raise awareness about this issue that effects the thousands of that visit and work in their centers everyday.

 

As a brand that gives women the confidence to be unapologetic and unstoppable, EWC and the Ax The Pink Tax campaign inspired millions to speak up and engage with each other about a cause that mattered to them.
