Smart glasses that can record what the wearer sees create serious privacy risks in intimate settings. Influencer Aniessa Navarro reported that her esthetician at a Manhattan European Wax Center location wore Meta Ray-Ban AI glasses during a Brazilian wax. The esthetician acknowledged wearing the glasses but said they were prescription and powered off. Navarro felt violated and consulted two law firms, both indicating a potential legal case. European Wax Center initially sent a generic reply and later claimed the glasses were powered down. The incident spurred public attention and renewed concerns over surveillance wearables and corporate responses.
In a recent viral TikTok video, influencer Aniessa Navarro said that she was in the middle of a Brazilian wax - which involves removal of body hair from intimate areas - at her regular Manhattan location of the European Wax Center chain when she realized that her esthetician was wearing a pair of Mark Zuckerberg's spy spectacles. Surprised, Navarro asked the esthetician if she was "wearing Meta glasses,"
Visibly perturbed, Navarro asked her followers for advice on what to do, and many urged her to contact lawyers and EWC headquarters. In a followup, the young woman said that she emailed the waxing chain and was given only a "generic" response - and when EWC sent her a customer satisfaction survey, she again expressed her distress at the situation.
