Urban Renewal Salon

Michele rocks! Best brow wax or tweeze. She will take her time with your service. I often research and explore a number of practitioners before I commit to one, Michele knocked it out of the park on the 1^st visit!

I never knew what a difference properly shaped eye brows would make until I started going to Michelle! She is great and I would recommend her to anyone! She also does a great job with face waxing and eye brow tinting!

I have not had the best run with brow waxes since I moved to Denver. I am so grateful to you Unilocalers for pointing me in Michelle’s direction!
On a random day off, I took to Unilocal to find «the» brow wax. The reviews for Michelle were great, she was close and able to get me in that day, so I booked an appointment… Thank the waxing gods I did! She really listened to what I wanted and took her time, the result being a fantastic wax!
Also, Michelle gave me some great samples that helped with some skin issues I’ve been having — Ill be heading in for a facial next week.

They’re closed :(Michelle moved her esthetician services and the hairstylists disbanded:
«Urban Renewal has moved locations and services offered has changed. All your waxing and skincare services will still be available at the new location in north cherry creek (inside Sola Salon studios main entrance on Detroit) at 299 Detroit st. studio #133 Urban Renewal.»

I live in Boulder, but drive 40 minutes just to see Michelle once a month for eyebrow waxing. She has the best eye for the best brows. Michelle takes her time (20 minutes!) to make sure your arch is perfect and every hair is perfectly aligned. It takes one perfectionist to know another.
I highly recommend Michelle for any type of waxing services. She also has different waxes depending on the type of hair, which is unique for most waxing places.

I went here a couple of years ago to get my hair dyed completely pink from pink and brown.
It turned out pink and yellow and brick red.
More upsetting was that the entire back of my $ 40 shirt had been bleached and dyed pink as well. I was able to get the pink out, but you can’t get bleach out. When I returned to get my hair redone, I brought the shirt and was told that the owner said unless I had the receipt for it, I would get no reimbursement for it. I had bought the shirt over 8 months ago, and I don’t horde receipts because that’s weird. When I asked to speak with the manager, she refused to see me.
The stylist redid my hair, putting brown back in it to cover up the weird spots. It wasn’t exactly what I wanted, but I still liked it. However, the shirt debacle is enough to have made this the worst experience I have ever had in a salon.

Michelle V. does my eyebrows and mustache (lip) and Suzee Q. does my hair.
Michelle is the best. I enjoy our conversations and she always remembers what we have discussed before. She is always aware of the current condition of my skin. I cannot wait to get a facial from her!
Suzee Q. rocks my world. It is hard to find a stylist that is comfortable with my hair and is aware of my hairs needs. You even get a 10% discount if you book your next appointment ahead of time. She has been more than understanding with my crazy schedule and my constant rescheduling needs. I love that she keeps up with current affairs as well.
I wish I could remember the young lady’s name at the customer service desk. But she totally rocks!!! Is very patient and understanding with me. If I had my own business I would totally try to steal her!
Urban Renewal Salon is very accommodating and comfortable.

Went in for a cut by Melanie yesterday. She is truly an artist. I talked to her about the style I liked and she hooked me up with an awesome do. Best cut I’ve had in years. Definitely will be back again & again.

First time customer and Amber did a great job! I received a full highlight and a cut. Color was just what I expected and she was very thorough talking with me to make sure she was doing what I wanted. Also, i’m pretty particular about my bangs and she cut them spot on! She also does free bang touch-​ups! Anyways, salon was great and I will definitely be back.

I just moved to Denver, and it’s always hard to find a good hairstylist in a new city. A friend recommended Mel Ahlf, and she did an amazing job. I have super thick long wavy hair and it’s hard to find a stylist that can thin out my hair and still keep the length. I fully trust Mel and I walk out with a great hair cut every time! She’s very professional and knows her stuff. I would recommend her to anyone!

The friendliest, most talented salon in Denver.
I miss Yvonne terribly. I moved away from Denver and though I go to a local salon for my root touch ups and trims, I plan trips home so Yvonne can do my cuts and highlights. Yes, I fly home for hair appointments! I won’t let anyone take more than a quarter inch, but when I see Yvonne she always knows exactly what my insane hair needs. Love love!
Michelle is an eyebrow artist, there is simply NOBODY on earth better. She will tweeze me instead of wax and always remembers my skin can’t handle hot wax. She usually gets me in when I see Yvonne so I only have to take one trip downtown. Much love here too!

I really enjoyed getting my haircut at UR and Mia Hatley is the best! From the first time I went in she made sure she knew what I wanted. Everyone there is very relaxed, cool and I felt like I was amongst friends. Plus they do FREE touch up’s so if I just dropped in for a quick clean up it was on the house!

It’s hard to describe what this hip little shop on Colfax offers. I myself am a fan of the facials and eyebrow/​facial waxings, they are heavenly and pass my very picky «over 50 and allergic to skin care products» standards. I also have three daughters in their twenties, and all of them go there for hairstyling. It’s just a great well qualified staff and we all feel we get good value for the prices.

I’m a fan of Michelle the esthetician! I went there to get waxed and she was great. She took her time waxing my eyebrows and told me what to do for next time. I will definitely be going to her!

Urban Renewal salon is absolutely wonderful! Not to mention that the price is right!
I was in town from Oakland visiting my girlfriend when I finally gave up on trying to grow my hair out (for the 3^rd time) She recommended this place to me — so I called to make an appointment first thing Tuesday morning expecting not to get in until later in the week if at all — NOPE! I got an appointment same day — in fact, only 2 hours later.
I got to the salon and waited for a few minutes when the receptionist and a few stylists came over apologizing, saying that the stylist who was going to cut my hair just walked out. Instead of canceling my appointment or making me wait until later in the afternoon they got me right in AND not only that but also gave me a free eyebrow shaping!
Then came the moment of truth, the haircut. I wear my hair really short — pixy even — so I’ve only had one other hair cut in 5 years that i’ve REALLY liked. But my stylist did my hair perfectly — I was really impressed.
Then came my least favorite part — paying :-/​Every time I’ve had my haircut in the last 5 years it has run me at least $ 60 — But after the first time customer discount my total came to $ 35 which left me extra money to tip for the fabulous haircut and great service!
I’ll be moving to Denver in June and there is no doubt that Urban Renewal will be my salon.

BOTTOM LINE: Best brow wax, great haircuts (Andrea rules)!
I would highly recommend getting your brows waxed at Urban Renewal. I’ve been a customer for 5 years! Michelle the owner is SPECTACULAR! She is truly an artisan when it comes to shaping. Michelle also got me started on Dermalogica products, and she is a wizard at skin care. I have had 2 facials performed by Michelle, and both have been great.
I have my haircut by Andrea, and she is AMAZING. She has done both regular cuts and a style for me, rocking a cute style for me that I needed for my engagement photo-​shoot.
I like the more boutique feel you get from this place versus being in a huge salon with a ton of gum poppin stylists. You really feel like you’re in a special spot when you visit Urban Renewal. Michelle and the stylists pick out great music, refreshments (hot tea, water, fruit mixes) and a seating area to chill at while you wait for your appointment.
Try to park in front of the salon at the meters on Colfax or for free on Marion. Marion is usually all full at the end of the day, but if you’re willing to walk a bit, you’ll be fine.
Be sure to make an appointment!
Pros: Wicked skilled staff and wonderful atmosphere!
Cons: None

I just tried out Urban Renewal for the first time and I am a huge fan! Everyone was so warm and friendly. I didn’t know how I wanted my hair cut and Yvonne looked at it, grabbed a photo of a look she had in mind and it was exactly what I wanted. She did a fantastic job and I left feeling bouncy and pretty. After years of trying to find someone to tame my curls, I’ve found my new salon.

I got a Brazillian and armpit waxing from Jill and she was fantastic! She was knowledgable, friendly and it was very reasonably priced. I am definitely going back and bringing a friend.

The women at Urban Renewal are talented, friendly, and their services are fairly priced.
If you need your hair colored and cut, go see Andrea. If you need someone fun to talk to, go see Andrea. If you need someone who is quick and gets the job done fast, go see… eh. Go see someone else. Andrea takes her time and makes sure she does it right — this can be both a blessing and a curse, especially if you’re on a schedule.
I get my eyebrows shaped by Michelle and she does a spectacular job. The first time I had the shaping done, she followed up the appointment by suggesting I buy a product for my dry skin that cost approximately the GDP of Rwanda, but whatever!
They’re good people and they do good work. The end.

This place is great. I go to Andrea who is especially talented with color and incredibly easy to talk to. They have pureology and bumble and bumble products, the prices are pretty typical of the area, but if you print out a citysearch coupon, you can get a discount your first time. They also have spa services like waxing and facial, I’ve just never tried them. Yay for UR! Andrea’s awesome!
