Best

GREAT! I went in 4 days ago for my first visit to urban waxx as well as my first wax on my lady area. The girls there were so friendly and welcoming, they were professional in all...

Worst

That pretty much sums it up. Next time I spend $70 + I think I'd like a more thorough job. No fun coming home and realizing you have patches of unwaxed hair. I actually went t...

Amazing 10/26/2009

I swear by this place and have send all my friends who are now also addicts. I couldn't recommend Urban Waxx more! Pros: Fun girls, great decor, relaxing was more

The best wax you'll ever have 10/26/2009

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 more

Almost pain free brazilians ..seriousley 10/8/2009

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 more

Best customer service! 10/8/2009

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 more

The best wax I've ever had! Seriously! 10/7/2009

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! more

Whoa prices. 9/14/2009

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 more

Always great to visit Brazil! 9/11/2009

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?? more

Best place to get waxed! 8/3/2009

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 more

Great Wax! 6/24/2009

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. more

Wonderful! Honestly the best wax ever! 4/24/2009

My previous waxing experiences were awful, so I was a little hesitant about trying a new place yet again. but the staff was so friendly and welcoming which made me feel way more comfortable. I honestly got the best brazilian wax ever! I've had nothing but perfect waxes from Beth and no stray hairs! Thank you! Pros: Lovely staff and a great brazilian! Cons: That I didn't find them sooner more
