The best wax you'll ever have

by Tassiegirl01

The pros here are all just that. I've never had a bad wax at UW and I love seeing the team, they are all fabulous. I see Brooke usually but I've also seen Mindy and Shannon (I used to see her even when she was a 1-gal shop!) I am a lifetime fan for their great service, great waxing and overall awesomeness. You cannot go wrong by going to Urban Waxx.

  • Pros: Waxing, Professions, see-it-all, discreet, awesome
  • Cons: Hm, none

Almost pain free brazilians ..seriousley

by kristinii

I have been getting Brazilians for about 2 years now and I had never been waxed anywhere before and had it be this pain free. Everyone else I went to put me through hell and back . This place gives you a comfortable and enjoyable experience... then I leave hair free and feeling beautiful! I just got waxed today after not having gone in for 3 months ( meaning the hair should hurt more when pulled out) It was honestly only painful for about 4 seconds of the whole 30 minute experience.

  • Pros: Welcoming staff, pain free waxing!, wine
  • Cons: Paying for the first brazilian is spendy

What a lovely review! We really try to take the horror out of the Brazilian experience, so I'm thrilled that you find us to be pretty painless! Thank you for your comments! We'll see you soon, beautiful!

Best customer service!

by NWadventuregirl

I had been going to Wax On for a year and I needed to get waxed today. Urban Wax was much closer to my house so I called them and they were able to accommodate me. The service you get from Wax On and Urban Waxx was black and white. The girls here were so nice. I got a thong and a lip wax and they took very good care of me and it was less painful too.

  • Pros: wine when you enter, welcoming staff, nice wax
  • Cons: none

The best wax I've ever had! Seriously!

by CSMobileUser4

There's a reason that's their motto! These girls are the best. I have been a loyal client since the beginning, and I would never trust my Brazilian and brows to any other place. I have seen almost every waxer there, and they are all awesome! the receptionists are always accomodating and really nice and they remember my name.

Basically, I love everything about Urban Waxx! oh, my favorite thing: I can book online! yay!

Thank you for your great feedback! I'm glad you love the online booking. There is something liberating about booking an appointment at 2am from your computer!

Whoa prices.

by supsonic3

I went in to get my brows and lip done, and it took all of 10 minutes. Just waxing-- not even a tweezer cleanup of the many little hairs that the wax fails to grab. $35 later (not including tip), I wonder what I paid for. They are quick, I'll give them that.

  • Pros: Fast and courteous
  • Cons: Way too expensive for what they offer

Thank you for your feedback! We absolutely strive to be quick AND thorough. I'm so sorry if you felt like we weren't both. I would love it if you would contact me personally so you could either come in for a complimentary wax, with me. Or, I would be happy to refund your money if you are unsatisfied! Whatever you choose, we want you to be 100% pleased with us! Email me at shannon@urbanwaxx.com. Thank you again! Warmly, Shannon.

Always great to visit Brazil!

by CSMobileUser3

it's clear from the tons of amazing reviews that this place is the real deal. I have been going for almost 3 years and have never had a bad experience. The staff is super friendly and warm and Shannon is amazing! I actually enjoy getting a Brazilian. I know, who would believe it??

Best place to get waxed!

by Allie86

I had my first brazilian wax about 6 months ago before a vacation. I was really nervous walking into Urban Waxx. I was lucky enough to have an appointment with Adriana, who came to get me from the waiting area with a big smile. I thought that this experience was going to be painful and embarrassing. I will admit it hurt some, but she made me feel comfortable and relaxed. The results were flawless, everyone was very warm and helpful, and most of all I left already planning on a return visit. I have been back every month since then and never had a bad experience. I never thought I would be scheduling a brazilian wax for "me time", but I look forward to it every month!

  • Pros: Nice people, great wax, beautiful salon.
  • Cons: Parking in NW Portland can be difficult at times

Great Wax!

by Edenn

Today I went to Urban Waxx for an eyebrow appointment. I was a little nervous at first because I had a bad "Beauty School" experience with eyebrow waxing. I'm VERY particular about my brows, and I want them done a very precise way!

I've been growing my brows out for a very long time and I wanted to make sure that when I finally got them waxed they'd be perfect.

After searching high & low I found Urban Waxx. They had nothing but outstanding reviews so I decided to give them a chance!

I called them yesterday & they were able to fit me it today [the next day]! They booked my appointment so it was convenient for me & were nothing but helpful!

I was a little concerned when I called in today to let them know there was a possibility that I might be running late. I thought I had made an appointment with Beth, but the girl on the phone said the appointment was made with Megan.

Me being the cautious freak that I am, got a little freaked out. I was nervous about anyone other then Beth touching my brows. [Only because she's gotten such rave reviews on City Search]!

Megan totally proved me wrong! She was awesome! I couldn't be happier with my brows & I will definitely be a returning client!

The wax was as relaxing as a wax can get. There was a pre-waxing consultation that made me feel comfortable. She was a definite professional; you can tell by her technique!

Kudos to Megan & the crew at Urban Waxx!

  • Pros: Great Wax, Nice Atmosphere, Pleasant Employees!
  • Cons: Pricey, but worth it.
