Threading NIGHTMARE: Pros: Front desk staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and it was easy to make a same-day appointment. The actual conversation made during threading was pleasant and nice. Cons: I paid for full-face threading, and when I got home I realized that the person absolutely mangled my face. I have multiple bleeding, open wounds, and cuts on my face. I did not have acne, I have never had accutane, and I have never in my life had a reaction like this to threading. Redness? Puffiness? Totally normal and not cause for concern. Open cuts are another thing. I did not notice at the moment of threading because I was only told to look at my brows, and the appointment was already running late, so I was trying to make it to my next thing on time. In addition to horrible open cuts which I will need to watch for infection and pray will not leave scars...multiple areas of my face still had patchy bits of hair left. So, not only did I pay $50 for the privilege of having my skin cut open by someone....there was also hair left? If you visit, do NOT ask for threading, this is either inexperience or incompetence. Save yourself the embarrassment of walking around like this. I feel like a fool for walking out all smiling and happy because she didn't say ANYTHING about it, and I didn't notice until I got in the uber to leave and looked at myself with my phone camera. read more

See all

I went there for almost 4 years (I lived in pilsen) ..the lack of communication & customer service recently was disappointing. Will not be going back. Better salons out there. read more

Very cute local place in Pilsen. I have been multiple types for waxing. They have both hard and soft wax which I appreciate. Very attentive to clients skin type and will make recommendation for services. They offer facials too! read more

When I walk in, I feel calm and welcomed. Sandra always takes care of me, and every session transforms my look. Today, Alisha did a lift+tint, and my lashes look unreal. My eyes look HUGE. Will update you all in a few days to see how it holds up. read more

Booked a Brazilian with the owner because I saw she had good reviews and I lived walking distance. However, when I got there I was taken care of another girl that was HORRIBLE. I was there for an hour for a service that's always gotten me out in 15mins. Also, she kept trying to peel the hard wax off one spot that wasn't ready. When I book with a certain person I expect to get service with them. Ive been getting waxed religiously for 7 years now and that was the worst wax I've ever had. read more

Got my first brow tint and I can't believe I haven't done it before! Well, of course it's a bit nerve wrecking but I was well taken care of. Sandra walked me through the process and she made sure I was comfortable with the "darkness". She's so sweet. The brow and underarm waxing was a breeze. Left me looking like a brand new person. Definitely my go-to place now. read more

Absolutely love this little neighborhood spot for everything from Waxing, to eyelashes, & body Cavitation! Great staff & great prices! Definitely recommend!!!! read more

I recently started goin here. I actually Google it up. And it was closed to my house. Because during Covid and wearing the mask my face was getting really bad. I totally recommend this place. I've seen a big difference in my skin and face. I been going here for the pass few months and go once every Month. Sandra is awesome and does fabulous job on facial. I totally recommend her. It's a very cute place to.. read more

I went in today for a service and was taken care by the owner. Sandra has a great personality and her staff is just as nice as her. It's great to see more spas opening in the Pilsen area . Facials, sculpting, waxing and products. I'm happy to be able to support my neighborhood businesses. read more

Sandra knows her stuff! She's professional and does a great job every time I visit. The front desk ladies are always kind as well. Overall it's always a great experience! read more

If you're from Pilsen in need of a local trustworthy eyebrow salon, look no further. Sandra does a great job! Her staff is very kind and attentive. I've had the best Brazilian wax by Esther. I highly recommend Beauty Within Chicago. read more

Sandra is a true professional. I will not go anywhere else for Brazilians! I've had some horrible experiences in the past at other salons but Sandra talked me through the process and really helped me relax during what used to be a very frightening experience! She's very personable as well so our appointments fly by. I've been recommending her to other friends of mine because I'm a true believer in her quality of work and customer service. I've only had waxing services done by her, but am definitely considered branching out to other services like facials or eyelash extensions because I truly trust her work. read more

Update: It's been some days now and you definitely can't tell I had a lift. My boyfriend asked if I had skipped my appointment because he didn't see a difference this time. It was frustrating to have to curl my lashes and apply a full round of mascara this morning. To make things worse they are very uneven throughout. Definitely not the full, fanned out look a lift and tint are supposed to give you. Pretty flat. Wow what happened here? So disappointed days out. I'm not sure what I paid for. The rating is for this particular job on my lashes. read more

Such a great experience with Sandra. She has my eyebrows looking amazing and she if very personable. Will def be my go to eyebrow person for now on! read more

Sandra is awesome! I just moved to the area and needed a new waxing place. I saw the good reviews and I am so glad I followed everyone's advice. She did my eyebrows and a Brazilian. She is great at what she does and so friendly! Highly recommend! read more

Great place for a Brazilian wax. She really spends the time to do a good job. I'm only coming here from now on.

Vianey is the best esthetician I've ever met. She was very meticulous while applying my full set lash extensions. As well as when I went back to get a fill-in. She's is amazing and will not disappoint you. She made me look beautiful but even better my lashes looked natural!!!! I def recommend her. :) read more

Sandra is a great esthetician! She's very meticulous and takes her time during your appointment . This was my first visit and I will definitely be returning! read more

I highly recommend Beauty Within Chicago. All of the staff are welcoming and helpful. They are conveniently located on 18th street in the bustling area of Pilsen where parking is easy to find. I come here to see Sandra on the regular for a Brazilian wax. She's changed my view on waxing. I met her at another salon and followed her when she relocated. She is amazing! She makes an uncomfortable experience easy with her expertise. The waxes that she uses make the overall process quick and gentle. She is flexible and accommodating for my tricky schedule. Overall she is a wonderful person with a professional approach! Go and see Sandra! read more

Vianey transformed my eyebrows I received lots of compliments and she helped me get over my fear of an eyebrow tint since I've had a bad experience at a different place. Overall I am so happy with my eyebrows I'm definitely going to keep coming back! read more

This is a wonderful place! Great atmosphere, great service, and my eyebrows look amazing! I will definitely be back!

I was scared to trust a new person with my eyebrows, but due to a recent move, I had to find a new esthetician. After some yelp searching, I came across Sandra and I cannot be happier with my choice to try Beauty Within. Sandra is an incredible esthetician and she has secured my business for as long as I live in Chicago. read more

I did some online searching before my first appointment at beauty within Chicago. By far the prices here are the most affordable for me for lashes and the previous reviews were good. Sandy did not disappoint! I even got a friend to switch over to sandy from another business she was going to based on how she loved my lashes and she only saw them in pictures! I just got another compliment 2 days ago and I got a full set 2 weeks ago. For affordable, friendly service with great results, sandy for lashes is a must! read more

The best esthetician! She makes you feel very comfortable and is very outgoing. Her microdermabrasions are amazing, as well as her eyebrow waxing. Definitely go to her if you want the best! read more

I visit here for Sandra, the waxing esthetician. She is the BEST! If I could give her 10 stars, I would. I've been with her for about 6months now and I couldn't imagine going to anyone else. During the first visit she coached me through the entire process and every since it's been a breeze. She's very personable, professional, polite and timely. I absolutely love her and choose not to go anywhere else. read more

I'm so glad I found this place. I used to go to 3 different salons to get my waxing,my eyelashes and my eyebrows done but now I can get it all done at one place. Sandra is awesome! She is very professional and she does a great job. She made me feel super comfortable when I got my Brazilian done what's an extra for me!! I love how she does my eyebrows,it's been forever since they looked this good!! I love my eyelashes too! I couldn't be happier with this place! I would definitely recommend it to everybody! read more
