A Must Try: Studio Urban Waxes Denver Microdermabrasion!

Everyone once in a while I get so excited about a product or service like our Denver microdermabrasion that I just have to preach about it.  I have personally used a great many resurfacing products over the years.  I love what microdermabrasion can do for your skin, and that led me to sampling what could possibly be over a hundred different product lines.  I mean, I’ve tried it all.  From Philosophy to Bliss to Aveda, I’ve used the best of the best.  So when I tell you that I love, love, love Diamondtome skin resurfacing system, I mean that I really love Diamondtome skin resurfacing! 

Skin resurfacing (microdermabrasion) does what chemical peels can do, and that is remove the top surface layer of the skin to reveal the “newer” skin beneath and stimulate the epidermis into producing additional collagen.  Skin resurfacing is a bit more gentle than chemical peels, and you can see almost instant results.  Our clients really love the Diamondtome microdermabrasion, and so do I.  There are more expensive gemstone products on the market—a lot more expensive.  We chose Diamondtome, not just because Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend, but because of what their product accomplishes.  Honestly, I cannot tell the difference between the $7k gemstone facials and our $65 facials.

If your skin needs a little pick me up, or preventative maintenance then come on down to Urban Studio Wax and see what our estheticians can do for you.  We stand by our estheticians and our products.  We believe that we can give you the very best in Denver microdermabrasion.

Who is a Candidate for Denver Chemical Peels?

A lot of people think that you need to have a specific skin condition or want to fight the signs of aging to justify one of our Denver chemical peels.  Chemical peels do help to minimize the signs of aging, and they can be quite helpful if you have a particular skin condition that you are stressed about.  But they are also a preventative measure that can be used by anyone to help improve the skins condition and stimulate the production of collagen.  We use PCA Peels here at Studio Urban Wax, and here’s why…

PCA SKIN, the company behind he peel is actually acknowledged in medical textbooks as being the originator of advanced chemical peel formulations.  PCA has been on the ground floor of the chemical peel revolution and have benefited from the years of research conducted.  It’s founder, Margaret Ancira, was an esthetician who happened to have a great idea as to how to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the surface of the skin.  After meeting with physicians and scientists she knew that not only was her idea possible but it had to be done.  I am always inspired by women who not only have a good idea, but actually want to do something with it.  When we use PCA Peels for our Denver chemical peels we are not only providing our clients with a great, time-tested product, but we’re contributing to women entrepreneurs in our own field.  I feel pretty good about that.

If you’ve never had a chemical peel I suggest you try it.  They’ve changed a lot over the years.  They’re no longer painful, nor do they leave you looking like something out of Dawn of the Dead.  Try one and see for yourself.  Our Denver chemical peels are great at stimulating cellular renewal, but without the pain and inconvenience of the nineties.Image by FoundryParkInn via Flickr

Denver Facials: Our Unique Vision for Skincare

We like to think of our Denver facials as a bit of Rodeo here on South Broadway.  Our estheticians are well-trained and experienced in skin care, and our products can compete with anything on the market today.  PCA Skin and Diamondtome are two companies that well-known for their advances in skincare.  As a matter of fact, PCA is one of the companies on the ground floor of the chemical peel system.  Before we use any of these products on our customers we use them on ourselves, first.  If we don’t like them, if our skin cannot tolerate them, or if they didn’t give us the results we were looking for then we just won’t use them.  We want to offer something unique to our clients, and we feel that with our facials we can do that. 

We utilize a variety of skincare practices and techniques in our Denver facials.  Steam treatments and facial massage are a part of our standard practice.  We want the skin to be primed and ready to receive the benefits from the skincare products we use.  We also perform extractions, and I promise you this…we are as gentle as possible with all of the extractions performed on clients.  That said, I’ve been to places before where the extractions were a bit, ahem, rough, but I’d still prefer a rough extraction any day to a clogged pore.  The more advanced treatments, the chemical peels and resurfacing treatments, are used to address specific skin issues such as wrinkles, acne, or Rosacea.  All of our facials are designed to not only improve the skin’s appearance, but also its health

Image via WikipediaOur vision for skincare is to not only minimize the signs of aging or soothe sensitive skin, but also, to educate our clients in how they can take this same unique process home with them.  Our Denver facials should only be the beginning in a lifelong process of better skin health.

Where Can You Find Denver Wax Services that are Affordable and High Quality? Why, With Us, Of Course!

Our Denver wax and skin care services are what got us added to the “Top of the Town” list.  You won’t find another salon in the area that can do what we do, provide what we provide, and with the same level of quality and affordability.  Our waxes are well-known in our area for being the ultimate for giving women (and men) that smooth, sexy feeling that can boost self-confidence to the rafters.  Everyone wants to feel sexy, and having a “secret” can make you feel even sexier.  Our bikini waxes can do just that.  You only have to read our testimonials to understand that while what we do is cosmetic, the results go far beyond the surface.  We specifically designed our three-tier service menu so that anyone—not just the wealthy—can take advantage of the feelings of confidence and sexiness that come with our services. 

The Denver wax technicians on staff are all good at what they do.  I think I’ve had all of them perform a wax service on me at some point and I’ve yet to had any reason to feel like I made a mistake in bringing them on.  On the contrary, I wished that I’d found them sooner.  All of them are able to do the unthinkable—they make you look forward to the next time you’re having your hair ripped out by the roots!  Seriously, though, these ladies make what ought to be a rather unpleasant experience pleasant.  So not only can you leave feeling smooth and sexy, but you’re not walking down the street feeling like you fell on a cactus.

We use good products that can warm and loosen up the hair shaft.  This makes the process easier on the skin.  Our ladies also are skillful and strong enough to make the hair removal quick, so that there is less pain involved.  We also instruct you in aftercare and products that can make the smoothness last as long as possible.  If you want a great Denver wax treatment then come on down and see us!

Our Denver Skin Care Services Start with Good Products

We try to lay a great foundation with our Denver skin care services by using great products.  All of the products used here at Studio Urban Wax were carefully chosen to fit into our personal statement about providing unique products and services.  Our estheticians are the front line in our decision-making when it comes to what products are used here at Studio Urban Wax.  They are the ones working with the products and speaking with the customers about results. 

The results seem to be unanimous—the clients love PCA Skincare and Diamondtome.  We’ve been using these product lines for quite some time so its nice to see that they are starting to get some national recognition.  It reinforces our belief that we’ve made the right decision.  The other week I was reading about Mila Kunis receiving a $7K facial treatment that used ruby and diamond particles to resurface her skin.  We use Diamondtome for our resurfacing treatments and it certainly doesn’t cost our clients $7K to get the same results from a similar product.  But, hey, it’s Mila’s money.  We’ll keep using Diamondtome in our studio and keep charging our clients less than $70 for it.

When you come to Studio Urban Wax for a facial, a chemical peel or resurfacing treatment you are getting top notch service and product that is also affordable.  We don’t believe that good skincare is something that only starlets and the uber rich should be able to afford.  We like to think that we provide a bit of “Hollywood” in our Denver skin care.

Why Our Denver Salon is Unique

Our Denver salon has been listed in the “Top of the Town” because we provide a unique and specialized group of services, and we provide them uniquely.  We don’t ask that you tip our staff.  We don’t charge Rodeo Blvd prices.  We allow you to make your own, informed decision about the level of expertise you want in your estheticians, and that allows you to also choose your own price for the service you are selecting.  We have three tiers of estheticians to choose from, based on their experience level—but don’t worry!  All of our gals are immensely qualified and trained from some of the best schools for what they do.

A lot of Denver salons have a one-size-fits-all approach to service and pricing.  You’ll pay the same amount regardless of the estheticians skill level.  I’ve always found that curious.  You certainly wouldn’t pay a lawyer fresh out of law school $300 an hour, so why would you pay someone who just came out of school the same prices as you would an esthetician who has ten years of experience to perform your chemical peel or microdermabrasion? 

We go to a lot of trouble to choose staff members that have the skills we want and the personality to fit the tone of our salon.  We wanted to provide a “smooth, sexy, urban” approach to skin care services, so we brought in people that keep up to date with all of the latest styles, methods, and looks.  Our technicians aren’t going to give you “last years” eyebrows, and when you ask for a particular type of Brazilian wax they’ll speak your language.  We are unique among Denver salons because we don’t settle for more of the same, we give you more of what’s next.

We Take Pride in Being the Best in Denver Hair Removal

That’s right, I said it—we’re the best in Denver hair removal.  That probably sounds a bit boast-y, but (at the risk of ripping off the Hair Club for Men) I’m not only an owner, I’m also a client.  I’ve seen what these gals can do firsthand.  When I leave after a treatment my skin feels baby bottom smooth.  I am just so impressed with each and every one of them.  They are all just so superb at their craft.  They can, not only remove unwanted hair quickly, but they are able to do so without the usual OUCH that comes with waxing treatments. 

Perhaps, some of the credit must go to our product line.  After all, a chef is only as good as the ingredients he has to work with.  If we used less quality products the results would probably not be as good, but fortunately we use high-quality hair removal products and after-treatment products, as well as, have hired the best staff in the Denver area.  Your Denver hair removal treatment will be the best you ever had.  We stand by that. 

From brow waxing to Brazilian waxes, I really believe that our staff and our approach is heads above the rest.  Our technicians understand skin and try to work with the skin’s elasticity and texture as they perform hair removal services.  There is no one-size-fits-all approach to our Denver hair removal services because all skin, all hair, all face shapes and types are different.  The skin of an eighteen year old will respond differently than that of a forty-five year old.  What is a good brow shape for someone with wide set eyes won’t work on someone whose eyes knit closer together.

Our approach to all our Denver hair removal services is to customize each and every treatment to suit the needs of our clients.  When you leave our salon you leave feeling smooth and sexy!

Our Denver Brow Wax: Never Too Much, Always Just Enough

The secret to our Denver Brow Wax is to do as little to the brows as possible.  We want you to leave our studio looking like you had nothing done.  We have all seen bad brow waxing before.  The leave so little hair on the brow line that it looks like someone drew the person’s eyebrows on with a pencil.  I’m not sure when or if that was ever in fashion, but it is definitely not in fashion now.  Eyebrows are like picture frames for your eyes.  You want them shaped, yes, but you don’t want them gone!

Our technicians follow the latest fashion trends and try to create a more modern look with waxing.  Our Denver brow wax won’t leave you hairless, we promise.  Sometimes a technician will even recommend brow and lash tinting to complement the look.  While no one wants to look like Oscar the Grouch or Bert from Sesame Street, they do want to have fierce brows!  We know how to create an arch but still leave you with enough hair to create that “picture frame” I spoke of earlier.  When I think of perfectly waxed brows and tinted brows I instantly think: Elizabeth Taylor.  Whomever was in charge of her brows should have won an Academy Award because they fit her face perfectly and made those violet eyes POP.

We can’t promise that you’ll look like Dame Elizabeth when you leave our studios, but we can promise that you will have eyebrows to die for.  So come and speak to someone at our studio and see what they can do to make you look like you should be walking the red carpet.  Our Denver brow wax will never be “too much”; it will always be “just right”.

The Denver Brazilian Wax: Our Most Popular Service

Our Denver Brazilian wax is by far our most popular service—especially in the summer months.  This treatment has steadily gained in popularity over the past decade to the point where it has become our most popular service.  People began requesting this Bentley of waxes as it became more prevalent among Hollywood elite.  They continued with the waxing service one they realized how clean and fresh (and sexy) it made them feel.  I have clients who swear they will NEVER go back to a regular bikini line wax now that they’ve gone Brazilian.

I’m not sure if it hit mainstream America thanks to SATC’s Samantha Jones endorsement or if it was just a good idea waiting to happen, but judging by their continued popularity I’d say Brazilians are here to stay.

We have modified our Denver Brazilian wax treatments to include a “landing strip”, aka “the playboy” per request of our customers.  We’ve found that even in body hair stylistic expression can be maintained.  Certainly celebrities have endorsed this style of Brazilian and that, of course, means that you will get customer requests for it.  Lately, we’ve gotten a lot of requests for Vajazzling (thanks Jennifer Love Hewitt).  I’m not sure we’ll go there, but…like I said people want the ability to express and style the various areas of their bodies.  And, as best we can, we like to assist in this.

When you come to use for a Brazilian wax you can speak to your technician about how far down the Brazilian rabbit hole you want to go and they will accommodate.  They will also suggest products that you should use post-wax.

Come in for our Denver Brazilian wax and leave a convert.

Exploring Your Options for Denver Body Waxing

We have so many loyal Denver body waxing clientele with difference desires that over the years we have had to grow our body waxing services to meet the demand of customers.  We offer everything from eyebrow waxing to underarm to Brazilian waxing.  We’ve even had customer inquiries about designer waxes and to that I’d say: speak to the technician.  We constantly update our menu of services so if there is something you’d like to see on our list, just hit us up with the suggestions.  We got into this business because we weren’t fans of shaving, and knew that there would be a lot of other people like us out there.  Because the origins of Studio Urban Wax began with a personal preference of ours, we know that it will only grow bigger and better if we try to grow with the desires of the customer.

Many times, clients come to us for Denver body waxing services because they’ve tried doing it at home and realized that they needed a professional touch.  Sometimes they’ve thinned their eyebrows too much or perhaps they tried to do their own bikini waxing and found it to be both painful and deficient.  There are certain areas of the human body that are just too curvy to do successfully by yourself without some degree of pain.  Your underarms, your bikini area, or even your eyebrows can be difficult to do alone.  And when it comes to something as noticeable as your eyebrows you certainly don’t want to take the chance of making a mistake that will take weeks to correct.  While it probably wouldn’t hurt you to wax your lower legs at home yourself (if you make a mistake the razor can correct it), you would not want to try a Brazilian at home.

We feel that not only do we have a wide range of services that we can offer, our team of Denver body waxing experts have the skills and expertise to make those services the best in the Denver area.

Denver Bikini Wax Specialists Can Ease the Pain

You won’t find any Denver bikini wax specialist that will tell you that a bikini wax is completely painless.  Let’s face it—you’re pulling hair from your body, so why wouldn’t that sting a little.  However, just like with eyebrow tweezing, the more you do it the less it hurts.  In fact, the better your technician, the less it hurts, as well.  A skilled waxing technician has a few tricks up their sleeves to make the whole process go quickly and with less “ouch”.

Our products that we use in our salon are all natural and very easy on even the most sensitive skin.  These products also induce the hair follicle to expand, making the hair’s position in the skin looser and easier to remove.  As many of you probably already know from having gone to the wrong salon for your Denver bikini wax in the past, the skill of the technicians does have a lot to do with how easy things go.  Our techs understand that the tighter your skin is prior to hair removal, the less it hurts when it comes out.  Just like Mom used to say with a Band-Aid, if you pull it quick it hurts less.  That’s why we move quickly with each and every bikini wax procedure we perform.

Bikini waxes are the modern girl’s essential luxury.  It is awkward and painful to do on your own which is why most gals seek out a salon in the first place.  When you come to us for your Denver Bikini wax you will Image via Wikipediareceive the very best and most painless that Denver waxing salons have to offer.

The Most Popular Denver Waxing Services

Our list of Denver Waxing services contains the standard services: brow, facial, body, and bikini areas.  As fashion changes, so does the popularity of a particular offering.  For example, back in the dark ages Brooke Shields made a career out of having thick eyebrows when every other model had gone very thin and arched.  Suddenly, everyone wanted thicker eyebrows because Brooke Shields had them.  Sex and the City made Brazilian waxing very popular and we were inundated with requests for Brazilians and designer waxing.  The Brazilian remained our most popular waxing service for a long time but now we’re starting to see a rise in requests for what we call the “playboy” thanks to certain actresses discussing their preference for them.

If we had to recommend our favorite Denver waxing services it would be whichever waxing service complemented the client the best.  Some women look wonderful with perfectly arched eyebrows (ex. Angelina Jolie), and others like Kate Winslet can get away with sporting eyebrows like Bert from Sesame Street and still look lovely.  What is popular today won’t be tomorrow, so we always recommend to our clients that they choose the procedure that they think suits them best and looks best on them.

We have a wide range of technicians on staff that we rank so that all of our customers understand what level of expertise the technician has who is performing the procedure on them.  If you’re not sure of what you want exactly you might want to discuss the procedure with our top tier technicians first.  Having performed a lot of hair removal they get a good idea of what looks good on whom.  Regardless of which of the Denver waxing services you choose, when you come to Studio Urban Wax you’re getting the best!
