University of Guelph · FAQ
Questions from locals
How long is the drive from the University of Guelph campus to MK Elegance Studio?
About 35–40 minutes outside rush hour — the Hanlon to Highway 7, west to Kitchener-Waterloo, then into Uptown Waterloo. Allow longer on weekday afternoons; Saturday mornings are the easiest.
Is a Brazilian wax worth the trip from Guelph?
That's what most Guelph students come for: a Brazilian is $75 and takes about 50 minutes, one-to-one in a private room, and within five weeks the renewal is $60. Grow hair to about a quarter inch first so the trip isn't wasted.
Can University of Guelph students use the student discount?
Yes — the Student Privilege is 10% off* on every visit with a valid student ID from any school. Show it at your appointment; the terms are on the Offers page.
