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.

HEY MAMA!

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!

WHAT IS THE URBANMAMA?

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

IS IT SAFE TO WAX DURING PREGNANCY?

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.

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.

First time?

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!

Enjoy!

Waxing can be done at any time, however, please consider some of the following:

• Avoid caffeine prior to your visit, as it stimulates your nervous system.
• Don’t shave or use depilatory creams in between waxes, as this will distort hair growth.
• Don’t pick ingrown hairs, as this can result in infection and scarring. Instead, ask your therapist for advice about suitable home-care.
• If you are hypersensitive, we recommend that you do not schedule your visit when you are premenstrual.
• We require at least three to four weeks’ growth for a clean wax. (This may vary with each client.)
• Please inform us if you are pregnant or if there are any changes to your medical health.
• Don’t use body lotions, self-tanners or perfumes just before your treatment.
• We recommend a patch test at least 24 hours before your treatment.

Your Skin is precious to us, so please refrain from waxing if:

• You are currently using glycolic acid, Retin-A or taking Roaccutanne at the time of your visit or have been in the last six months.
• You are hypersensitive to heat.
• You have been exposed to the sun or sunbeds 24 hours prior to your visit.
• Your immune system is low or you are suffering from an iron deficiency.

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:

Micro-Defence: For our salon hygiene range, we use this gel to cleanse your skin prior to all treatments, for protection against germs and infections. 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. We also use its sister Micro-Defence spray on all our salon equipment, to ensure maximum salon hygiene practices. The active ingredient in this range is organic and hospital-grade certified.
