UrbanWax was the first waxing-only salon, and opened in 2001. We are renowned for our expertise in Brazilian and Hollywood waxing. We place high value on our attention to detail, and a very important part of this is our choice of team members.
We have carefully chosen all therapists who have been successful in becoming part of our team. We require a very high standard in customer care, personal presentation and overall attitude.
It is also very important that you have recognised certificates and salon experience. We personally train all our team members in the ‘UrbanWax technique’, and only after a strict training period of satisfaction are you allowed to wax a paying client.
All the UrbanWax team members have been with us for many, many years, and we pride ourselves on the fun, friendly atmosphere and excellent working conditions we provide.

We appreciate that time is of the essence, so we rarely keep you waiting. In order to give this level of service, please respect your appointment time, otherwise your booked treatment cannot be guaranteed.
A credit card or a deposit is required when making your appointment. We request 24 hours’ notice if you need to change or cancel an appointment. If we do not receive the required notice a 50% charge of your treatment will apply and without notification. A €50 charge will apply to all Laser hair removal and Venus Freeze treatments.
Gift vouchers are available for all our treatments. Vouchers are non-refundable.
When preparing for your treatment, please ensure that the chosen area is hygienically prepared prior to your visit. This is most important, especially when having the Brazilian bikini wax, so as to avoid any infection and, of course, out of respect for your therapist.
Sanitation is provided in treatment rooms.
We understand that children may accompany you from time to time. We welcome children to our salon, however, we request that they are supervised at all times by another adult. For health and safety reasons, children are not permitted into our treatment rooms.
UrbanWax WELCOME all mums-to-be and with over 15 years’ experience in waxing we are renowned for our pregnancy waxing. Our UrbanMama (pregnancy Brazilian bikini wax) is our most popular pregnancy treatment. As most of us at UrbanWax have our own little ones, we had waxing during our own maternity so we understand this is a precious time and maybe you feel a little nervous about getting waxed. We offer comfort, support and expertise to achieving a smooth and effective waxing experience. Whether it is your legs or underarms and everything in between we understand your body moves and behaves differently during this time and needs to be treated accordingly. We will treat you and your precious cargo with kid gloves!
This is our signature Brazilian Pregnancy wax and our most requested Pregnancy treatment. This involves the removal of all the hair from the labia to the bum and we can leave as little or as much as you want on the pubic bone. This is carried out by our highly trained and very experience Therapists.
*Wear loose fitting clothing in the areas you are having waxed
Absolutely, you can have waxing done right up to your due date but we recommend about a week before then as this time frame best covers all possible eventualities.
Stay well hydrated on the day and have a little snack prior to your treatment.
We advise every 4-6 weeks or intervals recommended by your Therapist. This will greatly help your overall experience. Book all your appointments working back from your due date, this way you will be organised and are most likely to keep within the recommended time frame even if you have to change some of the appointments. We will be happy to help you with your schedule.
*Pregnancy hormones can increase hair thickness, speed up hair growth and darken hair so it appears thicker…. Yes, you are normal!
If feasible exfoliating regularly the week of your wax has many advantages. Moisturise daily but avoid on the day of your wax. Avoid caffeine before your treatment, it stimulates your nervous system and creates more sensitivity.
*The majority of clients experience no difference in comfort or skin reaction, however some can experience increased sensitivity, some skin irritation or swelling. If you have any concerns please call us or avail of our free patch service.
Threading is a natural & ancient art of hair removal using cotton thread & a perfected skill originating from the Middle East & South Asia. This is the ultimate in precision hair removal, perfect for eyebrows.

Since 2001 we have been dedicated to removing unwanted hair from just about everywhere. Over the years our clients continuously asked us to provide aLaser Hair Removal service, we heard their plea and so the journey began. A journey that took over a year to research in order to find a machine that delivered:
A machine that is:
In our opinion we found the best machine on the market, 1 of only 4 in Ireland:the HIGHSPEED LIGHTSHEER DUET has certainly delivered all of the above and more.Over the years we have been delighted with the results we can achieve for our clients and more importantly our clients are happy to have resolved an unwanted hair problem.
We aim to make you feel relaxed, comfortable and informed. We operate under controlled and strict guidelines to ensure you always have a safe and successful result.
We invite you for a free | no obligation consultation. We will do a patch test and analysis your suitability for treatments. We welcome your questions and we will be honest with our answers.
Laser Hair Removal is the process of removing unwanted hair by means of exposure to pulses of laser light that destroy the hair follicle.
Laser is the most efficient method of hair removal and gives permanent results.
You can choose to pay per Session or Book a Course at a discounted price.
Payment options are available during your free Consultation.
Facial area starts at €30 | Bikini area starts at €41 | Leg area starts at €75
All UrbanWax Laser technicians are fully qualified, certified and experienced in Laser treatments.
Absolutely, however as with any hormonal condition, treatments will be on a longterm plan basis. We have treated many people with hormonal conditions and they all 100% say it is the best form of hair removal fortheir condition. We will be very happy to chat with you in more depth about this condition or any other condition that causes excessive hair growth so please call us anytime.
The most requested areas are the face, underarms and Brazilian bikini. However, we treat all areas of the body except for the eyebrows.
Notice a result after your first session
Laser hair removal can be performed on the vast majority of skin types. Traditionally, fair skinned people with dark hair achieve the best results, but that has been changing as treatment methods improve. Today, using the latest laser technology available, UrbanWax can provide hair removal on darker skin tones with greater effectiveness and less irritation than ever before.
The lasers used at UrbanWax are the most advanced lasers that work on all skin types.
On average 6-8 sessions are necessary for maximum permanent results. Individuals vary and some require more sessions. It is not possible to give a definite number of sessions that a person will need, however we will assess your hair and skin type during your consultation and therefore be able to give you a better idea of what will be required.
1 – 2 Maintenance sessions are usually required annually but again this is individual based and some results require little to no maintenance.
Laser helps prevent ingrown hairs.
Laser stimulates collagen in the area therefore improving the overall condition of the skin
IPL stands for ‘intense pulsed light’. IPL machines are not Lasers. IPL devices are generally cheaper than Laser devices, which is why many clinics choose to use them. These machines produce a wide frequency of traditional light that can heat up all of the surrounding tissue. IPL lacks Laser's ability to produce a selective frequency of light that will only affect the hair shaft making it less effective in disabling hair and putting the skin at a higher risk for side effects. Laser targets the hair shaft, disabling it and minimises side effects.
IPL generally requires more treatments or may only reduce the thickness and darkness of the hair, rather than eliminate it completely. Generally, true hair removal lasers (i.e. Lightsheer Diode Laser) tend to achieve superior results for unwanted hair treatment.
Hair will fall out anything up to two weeks after each treatment

Do you blush or feel nervous at the thoughts of it? This is all perfectly normal and everyone feels this way before their first Brazilian or Hollywood wax.
Ask anyone who has been to us and you will be quickly reassured, as the most common response we hear from UrbanWax clients is ‘I don’t know why I was so worried.’
You can also try our anaesthetic No-Scream Cream, applied by yourself 40-50 minutes before your treatment.
Beware, ladies: you can get addicted!
The outcome is so fabulous. Our advice to you is to go for it. Try it once. You will not regret it.Waxing can be done at any time, however, please consider some of the following:
Your Skin is precious to us, so please refrain from waxing if:
Please avoid the following for 24-72 hours after your visit:
Ingrown hairs are a condition whereby the hair curls back or grows sideways into the skin. Common symptoms include red spots, itchy skin, whiteheads (pustules) and localised inflammation, which can sometimes be painful. They are caused by all the various forms of hair removal. The most common cause results from not carrying out the correct aftercare procedures, post-hair removal.
Examples of correct aftercare are wearing loose clothing and avoiding exposure to heat. Ingrown hairs can be found anywhere on the body where hair grows, but are mainly found around the bikini area on women and the back on men.
Treatments include Tea Tree Lotion and Caron Bump eRaiser, for both prevention and cure. Please consult with your therapist for the most suitable home-care advice.
It is perfectly safe to wax during pregnancy. We recommend you wax very regularly, especially if you’re having a Brazilian or Hollywood. Please consult with your doctor prior to your first visit and inform your therapist, should any medical changes occur throughout.
At UrbanWax we only use the finest of waxes, pre- and post-wax products and adopt the highest hygiene practices. We have selected Caron Laboratories as our main provider of wax and hygiene products.
Caron Laboratories have been Australia’s leading waxing manufacturers for the last 28 years. Caron’s premier range of smooth-and-remove waxes include hot and warm waxes. All waxes contain titanium dioxide, which reduces redness and discomfort. A combination of hot and warm wax is used to ensure the best possible finish. Caron’s range includes the amazing Venetian-spun lace hair-removal cloths, which stick only to the wax, not the skin, resulting in a more relaxing treatment.
Caron have a range of elite waxes, so whatever your hair or skin type, we will have a wax to suit you.
A long side the variety of Caron Waxes that we use is the Micro defence product:

It has a kill-rate of 99% on contact with a wide range of bacteria, fungi and viruses, including herpes types 1 and 2, as well as hepatitis A and B.
