Not every woman is a beauty connoisseur. I, for one, like beauty products, makeup, facials, and eyebrows, but have never obsessed over them. I used to be perfectly fine with hitting up the local mall and getting my eyebrows threaded at a pop up booth. Sure, my eyebrows weren't savage bushes on my forehead, but they also weren't JLO or Kim Kardashian worthy. On the other hand, my best friend was obsessed with eyebrows. She went to Anastasia to get her brows beautifully groomed. I was NEVER a believer in paying an additional $30 or more to get my brows done. After all, my eyebrow threading at the mall cost me a whopping $10! One day, while shopping at Sephora during my lunch break, I ran into an Anastasia rep and she sat me down for an eyebrow consultation. She showed me how to use the Anastasia stencils and colored in my eyebrows. What a difference! My eyebrows are not thick, nor are they dark, and the Anastasia rep showed me how to make my eyebrows pop without looking like a Mexican Chola from East L.A. I was so pleasantly surprised with my eyebrows that I called my best friend to tell her that I now believed in the power of eyebrows and wanted to get my eyebrows waxed at the Anastasia Brow Studios. I decided to let my eyebrows grow out until those critters became furry! I finally went into Anastasia Brow Studios and Rebecca did a PHENOMENAL job on my eyebrows. I loved how she walked me through the Anastasia eyebrow measuring process and the appropriate length/shape for my face based on my bone structure. Kudos to Anastasia for nailing the perfect shape for my eyebrows! For the first time in my life, my eyebrows were mirror images of one another, beautiful, and amazing! Needless to say, I now believe in the power of beautiful eyebrows. Thanks to Anastasia, I will never be going to another mall for an eyebrow threading! Oh and Rebecca, thanks for turning me into an eyebrow loyalist. I can now say that my eyebrows are as fabulous as any celebrity's! Take a chance on brows! They can really transform your face and make you look more youthful! Call up Rebecca and have her show your what extraordinary eyebrows look like. In Rebecca we trust. **UPDATE--Rebecca no longer is with Anastasia! :'( Anastasia Studio does great brows, but I'll be following Rebecca into her new location since I wouldn't trust anyone else with my brows! read more

I know it's already been said a zillion times, but Becky is the best! I scheduled an appointment after reading other reviews on Yelp, and I wasn't disappointed. After years of swearing off waxing and threading due to bad experiences, I was tweezing my own brows but never happy with the results. Unfortunately I am not blessed with beautiful, full brows, and decided to seek out a professional to teach me the basics of filling in my brows. Needless to say, Becky equipped me with everything I needed. She explained how to measure my natural shape and the places I should let regrow. She also showed me a very natural, fool-proof way to fill in the sparse areas. I walked away in LOVE with my new eyebrows. Despite the fact that $30 is more than I've ever paid for my eyebrows, I think the 30 minutes Becky spent explaining/working make it totally worth it. I also walked away with the basic brow kit, now that I'm confident enough to try it myself at home. After promising Becky I wouldn't pluck until my next appointment in a month, I was on my way. Very happy and can't wait to show off my new brows!! read more

This is more than just a waxing - it's a total brow experience. The staff is knowledgable in shapes and sizes and gave me great tips on a new shape to try that might fit my face better. They are a little pushy with products to purchase. Also, this is not cheap, but I think it's worth the price. read more

I have to admit I'm a HUGE Yelp user but have never contributed a review. I had been traveling for a month and ended my vacation in Chicago. Was completely desperate to do my eyebrows (I've been going to Anastasia in BH for 14 years). Of course went to YELP found that Anastasia had a salon at Nordstrom - called and booked my appt. FABULOUS fabulous job. Great studio, staff was lovely, highly recommend. In fact when I got back to Los Angeles I popped into see Anastasia and showed her my brows and told her how happy I was. read more

Do yourself a favor and go see the lovely Becky ASAP. She works wonders. She perfectly plots out where your brows should start, end and arch. They even have a simple topical treatment you brush on to get your brows to grow back where they have been over-tweezed. I always thought having nice brows was a lost cause for me. Even when I would wax or thread I was always unhappy with the results, leading me to take matters into my own hands (terrible idea). When I came to Becky, she was honest about it taking time to get to my perfect shape, but it flew by and is SO worth it. For the first time in my life I LOVE my brows. She is so sweet and patient and shows you how to color them in (sounded intimidating) so it looks perfectly natural. What a difference. Plus- Becky is a total blast. Going to get your brows done is like a hangout with an awesome girlfriend. She cracks me up and I always look forward to catching up during my appointments. read more

The only reason I am giving this 5 stars is simply for MAGGIE EGAN. I followed her from Benefit to Anastasia Brow. Talk about having aesthetic. This girl can simply see your brows as they should be. And she teaches you about your brows and walks you through what she is doing and explains where you need to grow in. 5 star experience. My brows are perfect. read more

The ladies at this Anastasia ALWAYS do an amazing job!! I always stop here when I come in town and need a wax. I usually go to the one in Beverly Hills and these ladies are just as good!! read more

Anastasia Brow Studio - Brows on FLEEK - Hair Removal Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I went here once before as a walk in and they did an amazing job on my brows before my wedding. I had no idea this was a by appointment only place and so I went in again as a walk-in. One girl was doing brows the other was diligently texting on her phone and not looking up. Completely rude. The other girl who was with a client greeted me instead. I was told there was no appointments available. Well if that's the case then act like you are working and not making plans for a Friday on your phone because the girl seemed entirely available to do a wax that takes 15 minutes. I guess I shouldn't expect so much out of a waxing place. ‍ read more

It's really quite unfortunate that I can't review Anastasia for the quality of their eyebrow threading service because I was not even able to get in for an appointment because of their lack of quality customer service. First, you cannot actually talk directly to someone on the phone. You have to call, leave a voicemail and then wait several hours to get a phone call back. Two weeks ago, I left a message right at 10am when they were supposedly "open". I did not receive a call back until the afternoon at which point I had already gone to another establishment. I decided to give Anastasia another shot, today. Once again, I diligently called and left a message at 12:30pm. I did not hear back. I called again at 2:00pm. I did not hear back. I went to a meeting and stepped away from my phone and upon return, had three missed calls from them all within the same four-minute time frame. I'm not quite sure how that was supposed to be effective. I called them back at 2:55pm and left yet another message, only to get a call from them at 4:12 pm telling me that all of the appointments were, unsurprisingly, full for the day. The girl on the phone was obligatorily apologetic but more so defensive. She did not try to accommodate my request for an appointment nor offer me any future discounted or free service in a last attempt to keep me as a customer. It really is a shame because I had read such good reviews on their eyebrow service. But in today's world of competitive markets, it doesn't matter how good your service is, if I can't even get an appointment. My suggestion? Go to The Threading Salon on Taylor St. or Threading Plus on Plymouth Ct. The ladies are lovely; their customer service is impeccable, and their eyebrow threads are always on point. read more

I grew up getting my eyebrows done at the real Anastasia in BH, so perhaps my expectations are of the brand are higher than other reviewers'. My esthetician at Anastasia BH always took at least 20 minutes with my brows, keeping them full, and minimally waxing (much of the work was done with tweezers). She never, never used a stencil--that's what she would suggest for amateurs to use at home. I never trusted anyone else to do my eyebrows... but was delighted to discover an Anastasia in Chicago on Yelp! I was disappointed to discover, however, that Anastasia now slaps her name on sub-par services to make a buck. I showed up for my appointment with Becky and was surprised when she pulled out a stencil... I made clear my desire to keep my eyebrows full--they are naturally pretty well-shaped, and generally just need some contouring of the arch. So I was surprised when the mirror was lifted and my eyebrows were thin. Becky's response was that she had used the thickest stencil (nevermind that her own brows were substantially thicker than that stencil). So... if you want full eyebrows, don't let someone near them with a stencil like some sort of wayward kindergardener. I was also surprised to see that my left eyebrow was noticeably thinner than my right eyebrow. As in, the first friend I saw that afternoon commented on the difference. Pretty sure symmetry's a basic expectation when you get your eyebrows done. So now I'm praying that my eyebrows grow back... and maybe picking up some birth control pills. That's a tip from the real Anastasia--when someone wreaks havoc on your brows, a thick paste of birth control pills and water can help prevent the damage from being permanent. Let's hope. read more

Great eyebrows but a not so great experience. I walked into Nordstrom today in desperate need of an eyebrow wax. I had seen the Anastasia booth previously and immediately ran over to them. I was told they were booked up but if her appointment did not show up in 10 minutes then I was in. Fab, I made a stakeout in jewelry for the next 10 minutes until I got the call, her other client was a no-show, and ran back over. I like that the measurements were done and they were precise and pre-planned. It gives me anxiety when estheticians just start plucking and waxing willy nilly. Thats how I got my somewhat over plucked brows now in the first place. While I was quite pleased with my eyebrows, at $30.00 even, I was not so happy with the very generic speech I got from Rebecca. She told me about some brow serum and "we'd have you back on track to fuller brows in no time, don't worry".....everything she said just sounded very rehearsed, not tailored to me. She also repeated herself quite a bit. Another thing was that I had just gotten a hair cut and blowout 10 minutes prior to coming in here. She dripped wax into my hair a couple times and put some greasy pomade in it to remove it. If she was more careful in the first place that wouldn't happen....I mean what if it dripped and burned my forehead? It left strands of hair greasy and disgusting. I could not believe she thought that was okay. When I seemed irritated she did apologize though. She checked me out and asked if I wanted to book for next time, I declined just because of the above. I appreciate people who do good work and who are sweet, but I don't appreciate professionals who are trained, by 2 companies mind you, and don't know how to properly tailor a pitch to each customer. read more

I usually spend $9 getting my eyebrows threaded so $30 did seem pricey to me but I was willing to try it out. I had been growing my eyebrows out for a few weeks since they had gotten so thin. I have to say waxing doesn't even hurt AT ALL in comparison to threading. I wasn't blown away by the service though. Firstly, I waited 15 minutes past my appointment time to get taken care of. Next, I just don't think my eyebrows look that great. I am willing to give it another try and see how my eyebrows grow out since I have some sparse spots. I likely would try the Oak Brook location since it's more convenient. I would say, she took her time and really analyzed my eyebrows/face. read more

I went from 10+ years of threading, to waxing at Benefit, now ending at Anastasia since I missed my appointment at Benefit. Completely happy I missed it - I am officially an Anastasia convert. My girl Mayra did the best work I've seen on my brows. She took the time to show me how to fill in my brows (correctly!) and was very informative. I will definitely be a loooong time customer. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. that is all i can say. my eyebrows are absolutely perfect!! Like Rebecca stated, they're as perfect as Kim Kardashians. read more

Rena is simply the best at brows! She books in advance - but totally worth it. My brows have never looked better and she actually taught me how to fill them in. In fact I have sent several friends and they have all had great experiences. read more

Myra was great and very helpful in walking you through everything and teaching you how to do your brows on your own!

Best eyebrows I had. She is awesome and I can't remember her name. I wish we had one in Orlando FL.

I went to the brow event and let me just say I was very enthused with the outcome. I met Anastasia herself and she was down to earth and made sure she spoke to everyone there. Tosh did my eyebrows- I was smoking hotttttttttt!!!!!!! Not only was she just great to talk to, she gave me tips on just about everything-very knowledgeable! It was a very pleasant experience and of course I'll be getting my brows done regularly here! read more

Wow! My brows have never looked so good! Rena is amazing. She did both my 13 year old daughter and my brows. Our brows both look amazing. This was my daughter's first eyebrow wax. I can't believe what a difference it made. She's on cloud nine and can't stop looking at them. Rena was also super friendly and helped recommend the right eyebrow pencils and sealer. Definitely will go back next visit to Chicago. read more

My brows have never looked better than they did after Anastasia Brow Studio! I loved my experience there. Rena did our eyebrows and she was fantastic. It is kind of quirky to have your eyebrows done in the back of a Nordstrom, but it works! read more

Rena, my dear Rena. I've been a client of hers for about a year and a half now or so, and wouldn't have it another way. She's damn good and what she does and never fails to make me laugh and brighten up my night! Not sure what's with the two one star reviews - if you were unhappy the first two times, why did you keep going...especially if you considered your eyebrows ruined? Either way, ABH @ Nordstrom is constantly extremely booked - you will absolutely need to call ahead. I would and have recommended the ladies here to friends and consider my half hour with Rena every month a treat! My eyebrows always look fantastic and I get compliments all the time on them. Thanks guys! read more

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-L-Y talented and super sweet! That is how you can describe Jen. The appointment lasts about a half hour. You will lay down in a typical chair (like one you'd get a facial in) and Jen will go to work. I have NEVER had my brows done by a more attentive and skilled person. She will look at you from above, straight on and from the sides as she's working to make sure your brows look PERFECT. She will use powder and stencils to assure the most accurate and fitting shape as she works. My brows have NEVER EVER looked better. They look identical (which is impossible because no two brows are the same but they seriously do!). I feel like I have found the brow guru of Illinois - probably in the world! I cannot say again how wonderful she is! I am very, VERY picky about who I let touch my hair, skin, and brows - I can assure you that Jen is the very best. read more

Unimpressed... The girls were SUPER PUSHY trying to make me buy all of the products. Sloppy, and stupid. She repeated herself constantly trying to recite obviously rehearsed lines about some brow serum she wanted me to buy. Then proceeded to drip wax on my eyelashes and coat which hurt like hell. I am now covered in redbumps, pulled off skin and mediocre brows.... Unimpressed. read more

When I went to take an item back that I purchased that day (stil new un-opened) with the receipt showing that I paid in cash, she asked for my I.D. I have a receipt showing you that I purchased these and used cash. You didn't ask for my I.D. when I bought them! read more

Good but way overpriced. $15 for eyebrow threading and 7 for upper lip. I am happy with the results though she knew what she was doing

This is my very first yelp review and it is with great pleasure that I do it for Monica at Anastasia (Nordstrom Chicago). Monica is absolutely AMAZING. She is flawless, a joy to be around, and just a plain great person. I look forward to my appointments with her not only for the impeccable service but the time spent there. Monica is an absolute professional who is detail-oriented and values strongly what her clients want. I would recommend Monica to everyone, even if it means that it's harder for me to get an appointment with her ;) read more

They do not do Threading! Even though it comes up in the search and comments! We scheduled an appointment for threading and got there only to be told they have NEVER done threading! Left so have no comment on their eyebrow waxing . read more

MYRA brought me back to life today! First off, i don't trust ANYONE with my brows. Im in Chicago for work and DESPERATELY needed them done and had to take a chance...I'm beyond happy with them...i feel pretty again and alive (and anyone thats obsessed with brows KNOWS this feeling)...THANK YOU MYRA! read more

It's too bad because I live across the street from Nordstroms and this is super convenient BUT $30 for eyebrow waxing and is tough to get an appointment, esp on weekends. This was my second time there, both times, they lay you down on a chair where your head is lower than the rest of your body (maybe b/c the aesthetician was short?) but she spun the chair so much (mind you I had my eyes closed most of the time) that I left there dizzy with a bad headache for the rest of the day. Honestly, I've paid $12 at salons and gotten just as good of a wax. Don't believe the hype. read more

Thanks to my fellow Yelpers, I was able to find Chicago's eyebrow shaping queen, RENA!!!!! Trust me, I've tried a few. Rena is truly an artist. She is always consistent in her work, so no need to cross your fingers and hope your eyebrows come out good, because THEY WILL! She knows exactly what to do and has the expertise to tame crazy/unruly eyebrows and make them look perfect! All the eyebrow compliments I've gotten are all thanks to her! read more

I am sorry I haven't written a review earlier. But that said, I am not sure I should write a review because if people find out about Jen, then I may never be able to get an eyebrow appointment again. And that just won't do. Let me just start by saying that people constantly stop me and say, "Oh my god, your eyebrows are AMAZING." And when I say "people", I mean other women. Like a guy would notice. I've been getting my eyebrows plucked, waxed, sculpted, whatever for 15+ years and I've had my share of compliments on my eyebrows - I mean, who hasn't - but the passion with which women now share their love of my eyebrows - well, it's unprecedented. Like they say things in the middle of work meetings. Or while having lunch. Or with weird wall posts on my Facebook. And I must say that I think they look pretty awesome. Especially since Jen somehow created an arch where there was naught. So yes, go to Nordstrom and get your brows done in the middle of the beauty dept. Note that the only scheduling system they really have right now is VOICEMAIL (wtf? Is this 1998?), so leave a message with multiple times/day available so Jen can put you in. And then when you get them done, be sure to book your next appointment RIGHT THEN. Otherwise you'll be one of those lame girls who realizes she has tiny brow bushes right before some big date,and then try to fit yourself in on a Friday afternoon right before and you will NOT get in because all the smart bushy eyebrowed women had already booked weeks in advance. I know this from experience. Happy brow shaping! read more

I have been getting my eyebrows done here for a couple of years now and would never go anywhere else! Monica does an amazing job and is great at shaping your brows to perfection! I am always so impressed after every visit! I definitley reccommed Monica to anyone who wants a great eyebrow wax! read more

I love Nordstrom but I'm really disappointed with my Anastasia brow bar experience. This was my second time there and while they do a great job with brows, I count on Nordstrom to have fantastic customer service. They have always come through for me - but this does not seem to carry over to everyone in their store. I made an appointment and drove downtown in terrible weather to get there. Stuck in traffic I called ahead to let them know I would be late. I ended up being 15 minutes late and when I arrived I stood there and no one greeted me for 10 minutes. When they finally acknowledged me she said she could no longer get me in. They rush people in and out of here and don't prioritize appointments which is extremely frustrating for people who made appointments one month earlier. I pride myself on not being late, but when I am I always call ahead to make sure I am respectful of their time. The phone is never answered, and my call was not returned. I'm just disappointed they didn't do more to keep me as a customer. I would expect this from other places but not from Nordstrom. read more

I had to update my review because Jenn moved to Hair Party on the north side and obviously I followed her there! She had been doing my brows @ Nordstroms for a long time now, but I will follow her wherever she goes! Obviously I love Nordstroms for my clothing, but for the best brows in Chicago, I'm now going Hair Party :) read more

My brows are kept in tip top shape thanks to Paulette at the Anastasia Brow Studio! She treats her clients with the utmost respect and professionalism and I always leave satisfied. I always receive compliments on my brows and wouldn't trust them with anyone else. If you are looking for a place for brows and other facial waxing;look no further! read more

I had an amazing experience with Paulette. I was preparing for a job interview and had to get my crazy brows done as they were overgrown and ridiculous. Paulette was ready right at my appointment time, no waiting! She was not only HILARIOUS but listened to what I wanted and gave me a great shape while still keeping them full! She even gave me tips for my interview after I told her how nervous I was. She told me to be myself and they will like me. I got the job by listening to her advice. She is a motivator and a great esthetician. My step mom is an esthetician, and even though I can get my brows done for free from her I think I prefer Paulette!! I will definitely be a loyal customer. Great experience! read more

I stopped by here on a whim when I was out in Chicago for work, and had Ana. She was wonderful, I don't think my eyebrows have ever looked better. This was my first time going to an Anastasia Brow Bar and I loved it! Ana was very sweet, and took her time and showed me how to properly fill in my eyebrows. Would love to go back and visit next time I am in Chicago! Never knew that Nordstrom's offered this service, but it's a great idea- and I had a Nordstrom gift card I was able to use- win, win! read more

For the best and most precise brows in town I go to Nordstrom around Chicagoland to the Anastasia Brow Studio to get my brows done. I have been to all of the 4 locations in Chicago and the suburbs and was pleased every time. It always is the same beautiful, full even and symmetrical shape I love them!! I love Monica at Michigan Ave she is so sweet and quick. I have also seen Janneta at Old Orchard professional and precise I went to her when she was at the Woodfield location as well. Michelle at Oakbrook is amazing and very nice. If you want an instant eye lift come see these girls you will be very satisfied!!! read more

Maggie Egan is THE best - I am picky, I mean crazy picky about my eyebrows and this girl knows her stuff. Not only did she give me perfect brows and EXACTLY what I asked for - she's funny and kind and a great person. I'm a HUGE fan. And, so are my brows! read more

Unimpressed. Went there several times and was services by different individuals each time, and all failed to provide the service which I paid for. After ruining my eyebrows several times, I can't say that I'm pleased about paying $30 each time for a negligent wax. I'd stick to getting your eyebrows threaded on Devon for $5, it's out of the way for most, but it's absolutely worth it. read more
