This is hands-down the best threading salon I've been to in Chicago. I'm a guy and they are very versed in styling men's eyebrows. They do so without making me look surprised, too feminine (for my taste) or like a Vulcan. The ladies are nice and efficient. I never wait more than 10 min if I'm a walk in. Great prices. They prefer cash. read more

I was so excited this place was right near my new apartment, and well rated, so I went in on a weekday afternoon and Sej did my brows. After asking for it natural and full, she completely over threaded below my left eyebrow (as pictured) and pulled off the square hairs around my top right eyebrow. Update: It has been 4 weeks and neither have grown back. I've never had such a poor threading experience. I don't know what to do to even out my eyebrows. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Friendly and fast service! I got my brows done in under 10 min and it was only $11 with cash. The lady who did my brows was so sweet. I have pretty sensitive skin so I was surprised there was no irritation either. I'd come back. read more

Today was my first time visiting this establishment and i will definitely be coming back, both women by the name of sej and prafima worked together to work their magic on my eyebrows, prafima made me feel so comfortable and sej is a skilled women with her hands, thank you ladies i appreciate your kindness read more

I use to get my eyebrows done here for many years. Today, she messed up my eyebrow bad. I almost wanted to go back and ask for my tip back but whatever. I'm just never coming back here again. When I went back to show her that she cut too much of the inside of eyebrow she acted like she didn't do it. My eyebrow did not have that hole beforehand. This is so upsetting because it takes forever for my eyebrows to grow. I've always had eyebrow trust issues now this makes it worst. Don't come here to get your eyebrows done. I don't recommend. read more

I had been growing my eyebrows for 2 months after the last place I tried left them super thin. I walked in with my eyebrows looking like they were in different area codes but Sej was super patient and took her time trying to make them as even as possible and she killed it!! It was my first time here but I'll definitely be coming back! read more

No words to describe how good this salon is! Looking for a great place for good threading and other services(waxing, etc), this is the place to go! Definitely ask for Pratima for your services. She's is the sweetest and does an awesome work for my eyebrows! I always go to her. Highly recommend!!! read more

It's was quick and painless! Enjoyed that I wasn't as irritated as usual, it was a pleasant experience and I plan to return.

Having been to this place previous times for a lip wax I went back for a lip and nose wax. The woman who normally does the service was there but asleep in a chair. A younger woman was doing a brow wax and had me wait. The salon was insanely hot as the air was off and it was 85 degrees outside. When it was my service time the lip went smoothly but clearly this woman did not know what she was doing for the nose wax. The stick had so much wax dripping from it that it clearly didn't adhere and dry. The stick was pulled and immediately snapped in half lodging most of the wax in my nose. The woman then proceeded to dig around in my nose, no gloves or hand washing at any point, to try to rip the wax out. After 3 painful failed attempts I had to rip it out of my own nose as both women watched me. She then attempted the other nostril (I never should have let her continue so that's my mistake) and after I told her to to not put so much wax on or go as deep she instead did the same thing and again broke it off inside of my nose! I left there to go home and continue to try to remove the chunks of wax inside of my nose myself. Most of the hair remains along with the wax. She tried to put baby oil in there as if that would help. It didn't. I have since had a nosebleed and still have wax in there. Start to finish a disaster. What was even worse is the woman who had done mine previous, who I think owns the place, sat in the chair watching me fight to free the wax from my nose. At no point did she come over to help or take over. I guess you get what you pay for. The worst waxing experience I've ever had in a dirty, unsanitary environment. Avoid!!!! read more

I developed painful folliculitis (skin infection) on my upper lip after my eyebrow and upper lip threading. I've had threading of my upper lip area before at another place. I thought I'd try this place closer to home. This was the most painful threading I've ever had. Because of the foliculitis, I needed to take strong antibiotics for a week to address the serious infection that was itchy, burning, and painful. What you see in the photo doesn't capture the condition fully. Before I could start taking the meds, the bumps started to have white dots, which I was told is pus and an additional sign of infection. Whether the infection came from bacteria on my skin, their thread, or their skin, it shouldn't have happened. They should have prepped my skin better (I had washed it that morning BTW) and they should have washed their hands before threading. They also should have gotten out new thread (I realized afterwards that I didn't see them get new thread out). I was in a rush and hadn't realized the risks with threading, so I didn't think to ask about these things. My lip still hurts a bit even though my medicine has run it's course and it's been a week. Also, my lip still isn't smooth as it had been before getting the threading. read more

WARNING If you have thicker eyebrow hair this place will gouge out your follicles. I've given this place 2 tries because it's less than a 5min walk from my apartment and both times I have been disappointed in their work. They really dig into your follicles with the thread if they haven't gotten them out in the first try. My suggestion to them would be, if you are having a tough time with a couple hairs, pull out the tweezers. I won't judge, just don't leave my eyebrows a bloody mess when I wake up the next morning. It's extremely embarrassing going to work the next day looking like you've been mauled by a cat. read more

Amazing service. The women in here are the only ones I will let near my eyebrows. It's better to go before 5 because they do get busy around that time and it's walk in only. read more

Great job threading my eyebrows ! Also, quick and easy with a full leg wax. Prices are affordable and service is good. Thank you !

Not a long wait time and it was fairly quick and painless. They do a good job of taking your face structure and forming the brows from that.

Great value. Usually fine for impulsive walk-in visit in my experience. They're usually running a 2 eyes for the price of one special :D Seriously tho it's a solid place. read more

They are so sweet and did a great work on my mom and me. I've never like threading but it almost didn't hurt, and my mom's eyebrows wax was really gentle, would 100% recomend read more

I've been getting my eyebrows threaded at this salon for about 2 years & they always do an amazing job. I enjoy getting them threaded by Sage she always does a great job! All of the staff is really friendly & polite. read more

The shorter lady was extremely rough with my face and very rude. She notice my skin was sensitive and she didn't care and kept being rough with skin/ face. I would stay away from this place at all cost read more

I been going to lake view threading for about 4 years now! I can't believe I'm just now leaving a review! I should be ashamed of myself LOL anyway, ASK for BARUL, honey she will get your brows all the way together and right! This place to me is the holy grail of eyebrow threading! Check them out! They are totally worth it I can't praise them enough. read more

I've never loved my brows more! Sage helped me out and was super kind. She said she would only get rid of the unwanted hairs and not take off more brow or shape. She's fantastic and my partner and I will be sure to go back soon! read more

I'm in Chicago for a wedding and needed to get my eyebrows fixed in a hurry! Sage was wonderful-- super speedy, efficient, and divert gentle. I highly recommend this salon; you can't beat the service especially for the price ($11). read more

Don't go for henna or brow tinting! I asked for medium brown brow tint and it came out jet black. When I asked if they used a natural henna for the tint the staff assured me it was a natural product but my skin is still stinging the next day. I also picked out a henna design and made the mistake of assuming it was real henna but they were using the cheap imported cones that contain other dyes. The design was immediately dark red and my hand stings. When I googled if henna stings I found a ton of warnings about these products causing pain and even blistering and permanent damage. I had only thought that was a risk with "black henna" but I was wrong. The design is beautiful but now all I can do is hope the reaction doesn't get worse and cause scarring. read more

Ok. I dont normally write reviews but i need to write this one. I created a yelp account just to write this review. I am a male and i went to this Salon before my marriage to clean up my eyebrows. The people here are extremely nice and they did an excellent job on my eyebrows. It was very natural and i was very happy. Couldn't have asked for a better service. My wife came from india and she is a pro when it comes to getting waxing and threading done. We were going on vacation with family and she got her arms waxed, and her face threaded over here. They did an exceptional job on threading, but BURNT her hands. It wasn't very noticeable at the beginning but by day 2, her hands had severe burn marks. I know it wasnt intentional, but it ruined our vacation and the scars wont probably go away for a while. Please note that Pratima was upset too. She called the staff and showed the marks. She will probably train them to not have this happen again. But I am not happy at all. My wife didnt have to be the guinea pig. I would never take my wife for waxing over here. They might be good with threading, but i wont trust them with waxing. I am extremely upset that my wife has to go through this. If you do go, i would recommend Pratima since she seems to be the most experienced and seems to know what she is doing. This is my experience only. read more

I've been here a couple of times and the service has been inconsistent. The first time I had my eyebrows threaded, the woman was very gentle and precise, and I was very happy with the outcome. The second time I came here, it was pretty busy, but they were still able to take me right away. I'm not sure if it was because there were a bunch of people waiting, but I felt rushed. I had my eyebrows and upper lip threaded and the woman threading was really rough. She pushed my head around multiple times as if my head was a dummy or mannequin. My skin was extremely irritated after my session with her, and the next day, I noticed skin abrasions on my eye lid. My skin was inflamed for three days. I probably won't be coming back unless I can see another woman. Unfortunately I didn't catch her name. Hopefully I can recognize her and choose to see someone else if I ever go back. read more

Lakeview Threading Salon - Scabs from the threading I received from one of the women.. She was really rough. - Skin Care Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I come here once a month, and have been doing so for over a year. My previous eyebrow care was at Benefit Brow Bar at the Ulta at Clark and Wellington. I've been there maybe two times so I cannot speak as much for that place. However, Lakeview Threading is amazing! That's actually an understatement. I've seen (all?) three woman there for eyebrow threading and have NOT left disappointed. I almost wish there was one bad thing about their service, so I could say it isn't perfect, but I've accepted it. It's heaven there. My background: I'm fair skinned, with sensitive skin at that. And some of my eyebrow hairs are actually white! It makes it very difficult to shape/fill in my eyebrows, but once I found a product light enough for my skin tone, and found a place that COMPLETELY RESHAPES YOUR BROWS INTO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL, I realized that it's a golden combination. On top of that, one of my eyebrows is naturally darker than the other one. I tell the women that before they start threading and I also say I prefer a bigger brow, and that's exactly what I leave with. THREADING DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE! I'm not nagging other places, but threading reforms your eyebrow hair and puts them back into shape. Then you can comb them with a spooley, and the hair will grow in that direction. What they do here is an art. Seriously. If you're taking the time to read my review this far, and you've got these blobs of hair above your eyes that don't look like anything, go there. Now. You will come back a new person. Ps- The price...! $10! And I think it's $9 cash on top of that. Worth all 1,000 pennies. These ladies know what they're doing! read more

Great spot near my favorite nail place. They are quick, clean and professional with super fair prices. So happy yelp lead me to this wonderful establishment. This will be forever and always the place that handles all my eyebrow needs. I def want to try out the henna one of these days, maybe in the summer when I'm not covering up all of my skin from the harsh winter. read more

LOVE THIS THREADING SALON!!! I've been coming to Lakeview Threading Salon for over four years now. This salon consistently does an amazing job threading my eyebrows and waxing my lip. I was referred to this salon by one of my friends, and I'm so thankful! Often I receive positive complements on my eyebrows and asked for referrals. The staff is absolutely amazing! Over the year coming to this salon I've gained such a positive relation with employees and genuinely believe they care about my satisfaction of service. Thank you! Thank you! For my beautiful eyebrow arches! read more

Pratima has been doing my eyebrows over a decade. Back in 2011, I had thin eyebrows that were way over plucked. I came across the salon and decided to walk in to see if she could somehow shape them and after that first try, I was hooked. I have been going to her almost every other week ever since. She is so meticulous and spends time to ensure my brows look great every time. My thin over plucked eyebrows are now thick and nicely shaped. Can't recommend her and her team enough! read more

I only go to Lakeview threading. I love them all. They tell me which part of my eyebrows need growth. It's like the care about each individual hair. I love them so much. Go there! It's cheap and I always tip 5 dollars. They get you in right away. The review below mine is exactly correct. They are precise and care about your eyebrows. read more

This place is so fantastic! I have been going to the same eyebrow tech for the past 15 years and have NEVER cheated on her. But the commute after so many years has become difficult and decided it was time to try somewhere new. After tons of research, I decided this was the place I was going to take a chance (eeek!). I am so happy I gave this place a chance. They did such a wonderful job and eased my anxiety the whole time by walking me through what they were going to do and why. I have very thick, bushy brows that are pretty when they are cleaned up, but can get scary if they are not. They kept my shape and kept them thick like I wanted! So thrilled about this gem! Wholeheartedly recommend this place for the women (and men) that are picky about the appearance of their brows and have high expectations. read more

I'm convinced there's nowhere better to get your brows threaded than Lakeview Threading Salon. Pratima and the wonderful women there are always welcoming, friendly, and professional. I live near several other threading salons, and I still drive to Lakeview Threading because I refuse to go anywhere else. Pratima pays such close attention to detail. She never rushes and will take the time to make sure you're happy and perfect the shape of your brows. They also do gorgeous Henna designs and offer many other services. Not to mention, prices are very reasonable. Pay them a visit if you want beautiful brows! read more

This little shop is the best! The women are kind, effective and you can tell they're skilled in threading. $9 if you bring cash - you really cannot beat that price! Highly recommend. I used to visit Benefit brow bar for waxing and paid $21 a visit and it took twice the amount of time. This threading salon is way more bang for your buck! read more

Consistently amazing service! Every other place I've gone to in the past has taken my whole eyebrow off, disregarding their natural shape. But not Lakeview Threading Salon! These ladies will make your brows look clean and natural. Their shop is also very clean, and they're all so sweet. Make sure you tip in cash! read more

I've been coming here for over 6 years! So I figured it's time to write them a review. All the women are VERY skilled, efficient, kind and welcoming! After the pandemic, it was like no time had passed and all the staff recognized me welcomed me in and FIXED MY BROWS UP! Typically, Barul takes care of my eyebrows, but honestly I would go to any of the women for services. Highly recommend Lakeview threading as I literally receive compliments all the time and always end up referring others to this salon. For eyebrow threading, $9 if you bring cash. Great price and service. read more

Pratima has been doing my eyebrows for over 10 years. 10. Freakin. Years. I was afraid to get them waxed because they are just so thick. Then one day I stumbled upon her yelp page when she was located on Belmont by Lake Shore Drive and she had rave reviews. I never heard of threading before this but it seemed like the best thing to do for these beasts. I have very thick and complicated eyebrows. They get a bit wild if I don't get them threaded every 3 weeks (like they currently are, whoops!) She never takes too much off and will take as long as it takes to get that last pesky hair till your eyebrows are perfect. They have many other services but threading is the only one I get. If you have eyebrows that are a little wild, go see Pratima! read more

I should start out by saying that this review is for their bikini waxing services, and not the eyebrow threading, which I've heard is quite lovely. Unfortunately, I absolutely cannot say the same for their waxing. I should also say that I'm not new at bikini waxing; I've been getting Brazilians regularly for the past 6 years, so this was NOT my first day at the rodeo. I usually do hard wax but I've had good soft waxes as well, and I'm not opposed to the technique. I actually got a wax here about a month ago, but I've been suffering from so much ptwd (post traumatic wax disorder) that I couldn't bring myself to write the review and thus re-live the horrific experience. This was hands down the worst wax I've ever had in my entire life. The technician clearly had no idea what she was doing, was not quick or efficient at all, and took close to 40 minutes to do 70% of a brazilian. Then, she decided to give up with the strips and wax and seriously started THREADING MY NETHER REGIONS. THREADING THEM. I'm not even kidding. If you imagine that this must necessarily be the most painful thing anyone could inflict on a person, then you'd be correct. At that point, I just said "NO. I'm done." and ended the session before it was done, because IT WAS THAT PAINFUL. I then had horrible ingrowns for two weeks afterwards, crazy worse than I normally do. I will never be back. It's a shame, because I hear their eyebrow threading is great, but I just can't bring myself to go in there for fear of serious bodily harm. Ladies, for the sake of your beautiful lady flower, never, ever, never never get a bikini wax here. Ever. Guard your carnal treasure, and take your lotus somewhere else to have your petals removed. read more

Not many people know this about moi, unless you are blood relative, no, not even that. A sibling. Unless you are a sibling the following is going to be a HUGE shock. My eyebrows, left to their own devices are massive. They resemble the eyebrows of the nonexistent offspring of Pete Sampras & Brooke Shields. (circa '85. Brooke, not Pete) So, I spend a fair amount of my waking hours keeping them groomed. Devon Ave is where this typically takes place. For the threading. And the samosas. Many of you ladies will wax (pun intended) poetic on the attributes of waxing. But I disagree. Threading is the only way to go. If for no other reason that I don't think hot wax should be placed on the thinnest skin on your face (besides your lips) and then pulled off. Won't all that tugging eventually cause wrinkles? No? Well I'm not taking any chances. But, much to my dismay Devon is a bit of a trek. So that is why I was ecstatic to find this hidden gem on Belmont. Which is on the way home from my daily grind. Pratima is great. $8.00 and my bushy brows are all trim and arched. This is officially my new threading place. Alas, not going to Devon has its pitfalls. For one, LakeView Salon has no Indian buffet. Or samosas. And there was not one piece of naan to be seen. I'll be back to visit Devon. I'll be back. read more

I betrayed my favorite threader Mona from Unique Beauty Salon and now I am paying the price.. I came here today because A) My favorite threader is located in Rosemont and its just too far of a drive now that I'm not working in that area.. And B) I checked Yelp and this places had some good reviews. Well BOY did I screw myself. Let me start off by saying very friendly staff, I came in around 630 and they were all available (3 women) the Lady that helped me completely butchered my eyebrows .. I'm so disappointed. I already had shape and just needed a cleanup.. She reshaped my brows so now they aren't even and she left tons of hairs behind .. I came home and had to pluck and try and even out my mess. They charged me $10.. Where Mona charges $10 for brows and lip.... I'll definitely be making the drive when my eyebrows grow back. :( read more
