Mallory has been a waxer here at Urban Waxx for many years and her favorite part of the job is connecting with her guests and getting the opportunity to meet new people. She also has a passion for hair and loves to work with natural skin and hair care products. She grew up on the Oregon coast and now has a home in the Portland area with her husband and her two cats, Mabel and Momo. When Mallory isn’t delivering you smooth skin, she loves to find time for gardening, cooking, and baking. She also loves to escape the city to the ocean or the mountains where she feels most at peace. We are lucky to have this ray of sunshine as a part of our team!

Alexandra grew up just north of Los Angeles and is now happy to call Portland home. Her dream is to end up living somewhere deep in the forest on a lot of property with a garden. When Alexandra isn’t spreading joy in the salons, she sells vintage clothing and housewares online and around town. Old Hollywood and classic films will forever inspire her. Her favorite music includes 90s/2000s techno and punk music and 30s/40s big band music. Alexandra is currently learning Japanese and is looking forward to using her learned languages in her future travels. She loves to cook and explore new recipes but is also a big fan of Kettle brand chips, especially Honey Dijon and Jalapeño. She also doesn’t take life too seriously and finds joy in being silly!

Esther grew up on the central coast of California but fell in love with Portland back in 2005 and hasn’t found a good enough reason to leave. She and her dog, Graham, do all the typical PNW stuff: day trips to the coast, hiking in the gorge, and lazing on the sofa with a good book, documentary, or murder podcast when it’s rainy out. Esther is the kind of human who looks for rainbows and silver linings whenever possible. And if there are bubbles in the air, she’ll definitely try to grab ‘em.

Stephanie is a 5th generation Oregonian and doesn’t have a desire to live anywhere else. Her favorite hobby is basket weaving, she forages for pine needles and willow rods so she can make beautiful baskets. She also forages for mushrooms and goes rockhounding around Oregon and Washington. She loves it because it’s like an adult easter egg hunt. She was a barista and coffee roaster so she is a big coffee connoisseur but there is nothing better to her than a cup of black coffee from a diner. She also loves to ferment things, including making her own kombucha! Collecting plants is also a big hobby and love of hers. She has over 40 varieties of tropical plants. She loves everything, Harley Davidson, and when the warm weather comes out you will only find her on her motorcycle but she is currently working on a 1984 Ford Bronco.

A loves being an Esthetician because they want people to love themselves and feel good about the way they look. When A is feeling blue they play with make-up, and they also love to go on hikes. A is obsessed with Harry Potter, and they love to read. A believes the book is always better than the movie! A has 3 black cats that have all been strays, they have been a vegetarian for most of their life, and one day they want to own a farm where they can have as many animals as they want! A also wants to own a Pomeranian one day so they can buy it lots of cute little outfits.  A’s gentle and welcoming disposition and their desire to make everyone feel like their best selves makes them the perfect choice for a first time guest!

Janelle was born and raised in Portland and has a deep love for all things food—cooking and baking are her happy places. If she could only eat two things for the rest of her life, she’d choose Massaman curry and dessert (dessert counts as one thing, right?). She’s a science enthusiast who loves learning new things—right now, that means tackling snowboarding. You’ll most likely catch Janelle with a coffee in hand and her trusty water bottle nearby because she never goes anywhere without it. She’s obsessed with her two cats, Zoomie and Spooky, and while she adores animals, bugs are a hard no. When she’s not giving you the perfect wax, you’ll find her unwinding with her favorite Bravo shows—because nothing beats a little reality TV drama after a long day!
