Urban Escape

There’s a new peel at Urban Escape, and we’re inviting you to be among the first to experience it.

AMiKO combines exfoliating acids with colostrum—an ingredient naturally rich in proteins and other compounds that help support the skin. The peel works to reveal a brighter, fresher-looking complexion, while the colostrum helps support your skin as it renews after the treatment.

Do you have a darker skin tone and want a brighter, more even-looking complexion?

Concerned about pigmentation?

Have sensitive skin and wondered whether a peel could be right for you?

Want a peel that works hard without being hard on your skin?

Then the AMiKO peel is perfect for you!

A new season feels like the perfect time to give your skin some attention.

Join us for our launch day this Thursday and experience the AMiKO Colostrum Peel for R950 (normally R1,900).

Call us to book your appointment.
011 563 5951

We’re open tomorrow, 24 September.

Make a little space in your day for yourself. Come in for a treatment, settle back and let us look after you for a while.

We’d love to spend the day with you. Book your spot at Urban Escape

It’s easy to be swayed by beautiful packaging, big promises and a long ingredient list.

But when we were choosing a collagen for Urban Escape, we wanted to look a little deeper.

How much collagen does one serving actually provide? Which types? What else has been added — and in what amounts?

That’s one of the reasons Equilibrium Pure Body Balance stood out to us.

With 12g of hydrolysed Types I, II & III collagen per sachet, plus hyaluronic acid, astaxanthin, ASU, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, it’s a comprehensive formulation designed to support more than skin alone.

Our advice?
Turn the box around.
Read the label.
Ask questions.

Because when it comes to supplements, what’s inside — and how much — matters.

Want to try it? Taste testers available in-store at Urban Escape Bryanston. 🤍

At Urban Escape, we’re intentional about what we put on our shelves.

With so many collagen supplements available, we didn’t want to stock one simply because collagen is having a moment. We wanted a product we genuinely felt confident recommending to our clients — so we looked at what’s actually in it, how much is in it, and what it offers beyond collagen alone.

Equilibrium Pure Body Balance gives you a substantial 12g of hydrolysed Types I, II & III collagen per sachet, together with hyaluronic acid, astaxanthin, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, plus additional support for joints and connective tissue.

It’s a comprehensive, medical-grade nutraceutical formulation with a NAPPI code - but most importantly, it’s a product we’ve chosen with purpose.

Because beautiful, healthy skin isn’t only about the treatments we do or the products we put on our skin. We believe in supporting skin health from the inside out, too.

And that’s exactly where this fits into the Urban Escape philosophy of skin and wellness.

Come in, chat to us and try it for yourself - we’ll have samples available in-store.

Available now at Urban Escape Bryanston.

Healthy skin. Inside + out. 🤍

VOICES OF URBAN ESCAPE

Meet Precious

Precious joined the Urban Escape family in September 2019, starting with us in Bryanston before spending a few years at our Morningside branch. And when Morningside closed, we were absolutely delighted to welcome her back home to Bryanston. 🤍

Precious is exactly what her name suggests - an absolute gem. A beautiful soul with the kindest, gentlest nature, a huge smile and a warmth that makes her such a pleasure to have around.

What does she love most about what she does?

“Seeing a client walk in stressed and walk out feeling lighter. That moment is everything.”

Her favourite treatment is a pedicure, especially the foot massage. She loves knowing that she can help someone release the tension and tiredness that comes from being on their feet and “carrying their weight” all day. 🦶

But don’t let that gentle nature fool you when it comes to her work! Precious is a perfectionist. Her attention to detail is exceptional and she does the most beautiful Russian manicures.

If she could give her younger self some advice, she wishes she had studied harder and pursued her dream of having her own company and creating jobs for others. Today, that dream has evolved into something equally special - one day, she would love to open a charity.

“I love helping people. I believe in giving.”

And that really does sum Precious up.

Fun fact: When she isn’t making our clients feel fabulous, you’ll find her in the kitchen. Precious is obsessed with cooking and baking on her days off. 👩🏾‍🍳🧁

Seven years of Precious, and we feel very lucky to have her back where her Urban Escape journey began. Beautiful work, a beautiful smile and, most importantly, a beautiful heart. 🤍

Urban Escape Bryanston is looking for an experienced, passionate Senior Skin Therapist to join our team.
