I just had my brows laminated and my lashes curled and WOW. Meredith did an incredible job and made me feel so relaxed and comfortable throughout the whole appointment. Since then, I haven't had to wear makeup to work at all this week and I feel more confident than I've felt in a long time. I will definitely be returning for another session as soon as everything fades! Mireille's Studio is the best skin care studio in town with the best team of women who love what they do! read more

I just had a combo eyebrow/lash laminate with Mirna. Absolutely love and only took an hour. Highly recommend! read more

See all

For the past three years, I've been going to Mirna, and she's been a total game changer ever since. I used to struggle with strawberry skin on my legs, but her treatments seriously leveled up my skin game. And my brows? Mirna laminated and reworked them to perfection with her killer recommendations--they're still on point! I see her every month; it's become a must-have ritual. The spa is beautiful and easy to find. read more

Mireille's Studio - Laminate Eyebrow Wax - Skin Care Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Mireille saved my skin a few years ago. I cannot recommend her or anyone in her studio enough!! They all understand skin, how to read your skin, do what is best for you in the moment, and have amazing product recommendations. Recently I have been open to trying new things (I guess bridal experiments!) I trust Tonya with any facial or true deep cleansing of the skin! I sent her my fiancé that has pores around nose area, and now he is hooked on facials, smaller pores, and clean skin! Mirna, my queen of all facial hair! She did an amazing combination eyelash lift tint and brow lamination + facial!! It was right before a long trip, and it was perfect. She recommended derma exfoliation and I wasn't ready at the time, but I came back and she was walked me through the process. I had amazing derma exfoliation, my first ever lip wax (long time waiting,) and calming facial. Prepping to be glowing a bride & groom and then some with Mireille's Studio!! read more

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. I've been getting facials here since I moved to Chicago 6 years ago. It is a darling place on the 3rd floor of a building on Oak Street. It's such an oasis up there that you would never know a bustling street lies below. As I've gotten older, I've been seeing Tanya every 4-6 weeks and cannot say enough great things about her and her work. She is a such wonderful person and a skilled esthetician. I always look (and feel!) incredible after my appointments! I saw her every 3-4 weeks for the year leading up to my wedding and my skin was absolutely INCREDIBLE. read more

Absolutely love all three of the experiences I've had here with Mirna! My skin has been completely upgraded in the 3 months since I first visited. Everyone is so kind and the guidance I've been given for maintenance between facials has made all the difference. Highly recommend! read more

I took a makeup lesson with Mireille and can't recommend it enough. She of course is extremely knowledgeable and a professional at her craft, but she is also a patient, encouraging teacher and a just an overall lovely human. She explained things so well, answered all my questions and showed me makeup isn't intimidating. It was so convenient to be able to purchase from her the exact products we used and now I have a solid foundation of techniques and tools. Highly recommend! read more

Best facial / eyebrow experience, ever. Tanya / Mireille 12/10 can't recommend enough.

Went in for brows...totally new growth strategy which is panning out perfectly! Ended up staying for a facial and leaving with great products including a night cream and tinted moisturizer which ended up to be perfect for my skin. Super relieved to find this place. And for the location and quality of services, the prices are truly unbelievable! And Mireille, herself, personally trains each employee. Everyone I talked to was raving about someone different...sounds like they are all gold. read more

I was given a gift certificate for my birthday to see Mireille for a facial. I finally was able to make an appointment with the Covid situation. It was amazing! I have tried facials in various countries and I was impressed with Mireille's technique. My face feels so clean and fresh. I also want to go and have my make-up done. Thumbs up! Loretta read more

Cant say enough good things about this place. Worth every $. People are extremely kind and professional. I started seeing Meredith for facials and treatments and she has been a life savior. I have text Meredith several times with concerns about breakouts/ skin reactions and she has been extremely helpful guiding me to find the right solution. During Covid, my skin started to break out, I texted some photos to Meredith and the studio delivered an acne gel that became my best friend. I strongly recommend you make this place part of your skin care routine. You won't regret it! read more

As a esthetics student, I think and reflect on the facial I had here the past fall a lot, and I have thought about writing the review for a while- and now that I've passed my tests for school, received many facials, given many facials, I can say in no way do I recommend this salon for a facial for anyone, bottom line. About 6 months ago I came here for my first professional facial of my life. The esthetician greeted me in a rushed manner, and told me to undress and she came back in and asked me one question about my skin- what I wanted it to look like. She didn't ask me about any allergies, what my skin was like, anything. Thinking that was odd, I brushed it off assuming during the skin analysis she would be asking me questions. So, during the removal of my eye-makeup (simple mascara, I was getting a facial) she was tugging pretty hard and in a rushed manner. Not only did I say she was pulling but I had mentioned that I had contacts on, maybe to hint at the idea that she was hurting me, nope- she kept pulling and tugging on my eye area. During the skin analysis she didn't give me goggles, and held he mag lamp VERY close to my eye area, I expressed to her that it was very bright and I couldn't really stand the light and she told me "it's fine, it's just going to be here for a second" I wish I could break down what she did for me during the cleanse treat and moisturize part of the facial, but she didn't even tell me, she just put things on Willy Nilly not explaining a thing. When she placed a mask or serum (again, I'm not sure- she explained nothing) on my skin, it burnt bad, not like a slight burn (I have given and received many peels since then while in school, nothing has felt quite like that product ) she said "it's supposed to burn, it's fine, and fanned my face with a fan. I told her once more it burned and I wanted it removed and she sighed and kept fanning. The extractions I'll never forget because I have a scar on my chin from where she was trying to extract, very very painfully. She also had the steam entirely too close to my face. Long story short, could have been an off day for the esthetician but I would go somewhere else. I don't remember her name though, she had long brown hair. read more

Let me tell you the three secrets to a painless brazilian bikini wax 1. Have them use hard wax, such a more pleasant experience. 2. Take some advil beforehand. 3. Lastly, and most importantly, get it done here! You wont be disappointed. read more

Ok, so it's one thing to be pushing 30 and feel young at heart, it's another thing to be pushing 30 and look like someone rode you hard. So...I'd never had a facial in my life, but after seeing the Pretty City spa deal for microdermabrasion and a mini-facial for $59, I decided what the hell. Now, one of the main reasons I've never had a facial before is because my skins sucks. I know because I have to look at it in the mirror every damn day. I know there's a breakout here and there, that I have sun damage, blah, blah, blah. And I don't need to hear how bad it is in an exaggerated attempt to make me buy crazy amounts of product or sign up for a thousand dollar spa package. I'm looking at you crazy Macy's counter chicks and various crappy spas. End rant. Back to Mireille's. My facial from Shellie was perfect - felt great, had amazing results, and there was no crazy redness or irritation afterwards. Also, there was no sales pressure to buy products, just the suggestion of three simple products, and a list to take home with me. Of course I've already bought a few and they have been A+. Also, another thing I love here is how small and intimate this place is. Everyone is super friendly and nice. I switched up one of my treatments when I was there, totally last second, and they were super accomodating. Oh, and did I mention my stupid ass forgot to leave Shellie a tip. Oh yeah, I had to do both the phone call and walk of shame the next day - and I believe Julie was there when I dropped it off. She couldn't have been nicer, told me not to worry about it, and left my vm for Shellie to hear. And better yet, Shellie actually left me a vm to let me know she got everything I left for her. Super cool. Oh, and I love how you've got your own private treatment room. No more changing in a huge locker room then praying to god you don't flash everyone while you're half naked and trying to find your room in a hallway of twenty doors. Anways, long story short, I'm really happy with everything here. I've been back for a number of other treatments since my facial, and all of them have been top notch. I even bought a package I was so impressed with the place - and the results have been totally worth it. If I keep this up I know my ass will be able to pass for 25 in no time ;) read more

Officially the best wax experience I have ever had! I've been going to Cleise for almost 2 years but have not been happy with them the last couple of times (cost, location, results) so thanks to Yelp I tried Mireille's last night....Julie was absolutely fabulous - she has a great technique, is very professional and super nice! The B-wax w/ hard blue wax was quick, thorough and practically painless. Eyebrows were also great - I'm very picky about shape and she took the time to listen to my past experiences, what I wanted done, etc. It's also comforting when the person doing your brows has perfect ones! I chatted w/ Mireille on my way out - she was super nice and the whole place is very welcoming. She does Oprah's brows so you know they are good. I already made my next appointment! read more

I had a facial done with Mireille about a year ago and it was great! Very thorough, and my face was glowing afterwards! She recommended a hydrating mask from the PCA line and I've been using it as she recommended. It's been perfect when traveling! Thank you Mireille! read more

Mireille is the best! I love the look of her shop and the location is fabulous. She really has worked wonders on my skin and I will go nowhere else for eyebrows and waxing! read more

I had a B-wax and eyebrow done here and the B-was was great. I've had this done at tons of other places and this was probably the least painful experience. It took a while b/c of the hard wax but worth it if it means reducing the pain. They really know how to use the hard wax and they get every little hair for you so you don't have any clean up for when you get home. I had my eyebrow waxing done for the first time here and it was good but $30 is very steep I think. I'll try it out a few more times and if I see amazing results, I prob. will stick with this place. Small space, very friendly staff and cozy environment. read more

I love Mireille recently i went there the first time using a popsugar coupon for make up class, mireille was my instructor and she was as patient as you can imagine her to be I have to admit i really suck at make up and she was able to break down the process so simply for me (tips and wrote down notes for me) and now i actually am not afraid to do my own eye make up . The best part is she created looks for me using products i already have she didn't try to up sell anything or pressure me into buying any products and i felt very comfortable there can't wait to go back there and learn more tips! read more

I feel a little guilty for cheating on my regular waxer Marie at Benefit. I wanted to branch out so I searched the Yelps for help. I noticed on my bookmarked list that I saved Mireille's almost three years ago. What took me so long?! I called to book an appointment, and two days later I'm a happy customer. From the moment I checked-in, Julie took good care of me. She made me feel at home and definitely took her time to make sure everything looked fine to my liking. Waxing? Pshhhawww. I barely felt a thing...ok, maybe a little bit but nothing to cry into my pillow later. Not that I cry into my pillow often or anything... Waxing services are a little pricy than I'd normally go for, but I thought the service was fine and dandy. So dandy in fact, that I'm coming back soon for an upcoming mini-facial appointment using a coupon I found on www.chicagobeauty.com (Pretty City). PS: They're open past 5 on weekdays. It's nice to have that option when you can't make it during the day or on Saturdays. read more

Mirelle is truly the BEST make up artist I've been to & I've been to many in the 40 plus years I've been wearing make-up! Not only does she have a great eye for which colors are best for you but she teaches you how to apply them, step by step. She has you do it right then and there. She has you bring all your make up and tools and shows you how to use all of it & doesn't push you at all to buy her makeup but just simply suggests what you really need to add to what you already have. In addition, her mineral based line is really awesome so when you do add to your own collection, you are getting really great quality! She was a make up artist for Oprah & she's amazing! read more

There's some things in life you don't try and get a bargain on. You pay what you need to pay to maintain a certain quality of life. Things I will not compromise on: Produce in the winter (I won't buy crappy looking/tasting produce, even if it means paying through the nose at Whole Foods) Trash bags (deal with a trash bag explosion down a flight of stairs and you will agree with me) and Bikini waxes I am not going to let some random, under-qualified person come at me with hot wax because I got a "deal". My normal joint is Wax by Eva, but she was on vacation when I needed some waxin'. Yelp to the rescue! I found Mireille's, which was close to my work and highly rated. A waxin' we went. I showed up a little early for my appointment and was greeted by Julie. Super nice. We went into the back room and got down to business. I don't get people who say "LOL THAT WAX DIDN'T EVEN HURT SRSLY." You are lying or you are on drugs. It hurts. You are ripping hair out of the root. That said, it's a very temporary pain and if you wax consistently, the pain gets exponentially easier to deal with. Julie was fast and thorough. The price is steeper than other places in town, but it's a nice ambience, they do a really good job and are really personable. read more

I love going to the dentist. You may suffer a bit of pain (chapped lips, anyone?) but you leave feeling super clean and shiny - well worth it. I equate my experience of brow waxing at Mireille's with the dentist. Just as you must prep for the dentist (extra flossing - so you can say that you floss religiously), you should prep your eyebrows if it's your first time. I was scared to go to someone again after that person left me little of my eyebrows years ago. Before you go, make sure you let your eyebrows grow out - don't touch them (it's painful, I know, but the rewards outweigh the price you pay). That way Julie (she's fantastic!) can start from scratch and reshape your brows. If you're coming back from eyebrow hell, you should visit every three weeks. After 2-3 times, Julie said I should be able to maintain the shape for longer since it was all set. I won 't come every month any more, but maybe every other? This is one of those places that you only tell your closest friends about, because you don't want them to book up! Oh - and no one usually answers the phone so just leave a very detailed message and they have a very fast response time. read more

Yelpers...thanks for the recommendation! I decided to try Mireille's Studio based upon all the 5 star reviews. Now I am delighted to add 5 stars of my own! I went for a brazilian/eyebrow wax before a vacation, and the experience was just fantastic (and who really uses the words, "fantastic" and "brazilian" in the same sentence?). I saw Julie, and I gotta tell you, this girl is nothing short of a doll. She is extremely nice and genuine. I really can't stress enough that waxing experiences, especially bikini wax experiences, require a kind individual to make the client feel at ease. Julie is such person and by the time the wax was over I really wanted to be her friend! The studio itself is tiny...one little couch that overlooks Oak Street and then there are two TINY waxing/facial rooms. This studio is small, but there are never more than 4 people there at the same time, so it's a great place to go if you don't want to be bombarded by a bunch of other peeps. I used a Pretty City promotion, and Mireille also had a promotion going, so after my service Julie was sitting there with a calculator trying to figure out which promo would be better for me, to give me the most money off. How awesome is that! Really, I can't say enough good things about the girl. For those waxing experts, Mireille's Studio uses two kinds of wax: hard wax and strip wax. You can pick whichever you prefer. I would recommend Mireille's Studio, and Julie, to anyone looking for a great wax! read more

Professional. Awesomely talented. From facials, waxing, and make-up, this cozy salon is such a nice surprise considering its address on Oak Street. From the first time I met MS, I really cannot say I've ever questioned NOT going back. Yes, they may not offer specials like others but hope that won't deter you from giving MS a try. They will win you over again and again with a cherry on top! They are worth every penny. read more

Went here for a wax and although the end result was nice, the process was disappointing, especially for the price. The whole wax took almost an hour, which is ridiculous. Usually it takes less than 15 minutes. Also, it was a lot more painful than other waxes I've had. The woman, Julie, was very nice, but the experience was a bust. I won't go here again. read more

Pain what pain? Yup....just like that. I did the Pretty City promotion so I got a Brazilian for $31(great deal, huh?). It was my first time and I was really scared...'cause I'm a baby about pain to begin with and have never even had a bikini wax!!! (I know, I know, I have been missing out). I read the reviews beforehand so I felt as comfortable as I could going in. I took Advil beforehand and that probably helped. I like Oak street to begin with and the salon is on the 3rd floor. It's very cute and has a nice relaxing atmosphere. Shellie was running a little bit late, but it was not a big deal and I had a nice conversation with Julie. Both of them are super nice and friendly. Shellie knew it was my first time and she made me feel VERY comfortable. They use the sensitive hard wax and I think that makes a HUGE difference. I was scared and even brought my own little towel to bite on, so I wouldn't scream (I said I was a baby about pain didn't I?). To my surprise it was completely tolerable and no more painful then getting your legs waxed, seriously. I had psyched myself up for excruciating pain and was happily disappointed! :) Shellie was really great and we talked the whole time which took my mind off of what she was doing. It was just an overall great experience and I will certainly be back again!! read more

Amazing- Wax, facial, brow shape, make up. . . you name it! Mimi and her team are the best in the business. Trusting your face and other body parts to a groupon or the random nail salon that waxes "too" is just plain asking for it. Mimi's extensive experience shines through with her no-nonsense way of telling you what you need, if you ask, she will deliver, honestly. read more

Mireille is a French beauty and miracle worker. Her energy is so peaceful and warm. She has a motherly way of soothing not only the skin but a person! She knows everything about skin, diet and stress. She's so smart and healing. It's a relaxing experience to be with her. She made my skin feel deliciously hydrated and glow. I can't wait to see her next month. xoxo Bisous read more

I got a facial from Maryam this week, and it was absolutely wonderful. I've been getting facials 1x/month for almost 2 years at the same salon in Boston, but I decided to go to Mireille's because I'm on the road for a while and didn't want my skin to suffer. If you see Maryam for a facial here, you will definitely leave feeling soothed and with smoother, more vibrant skin than when you entered. About the facial itself: -It includes a paraffin wax treatment for your hands, with heated gloves to maximize the benefits of the paraffin treatment -The bed is heated and super comfy -A variety of products will be used, and I believe it varies by skin type. On me, I believe Maryam used a pre-cleansing oil, a foaming cleanser, an exfoliator, and some sort of mixture that included salicylic acid (sorry this is imprecise - I have a bad memory and don't remember all of the answers she gave to my questions!) From the moment I walked in the door, Maryam made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She explained what the treatment would consist of and consulted me on what I viewed as my problem areas and wanted her to focus on. She helped me get a better understanding of my skin (and what is causing some of the things I don't like, such as flakiness from not moisturizing properly), but without making me feel pressured to buy anything. Because I actually was in the market for some new skincare products, I did end up asking Maryam for recommendations, and so far am very pleased with the products she recommended. I will definitely make it a point to ONLY get my Chicago facials from Maryam at Mireille's Studio in the future. Highly recommend! read more

There is simply no place better in this city for waxing and facials than Mirielle's studio. I have been a client now for a few years. Mirielle works her magic and has transformed my brows from unruly to flattering. I also get my eyelashes tinted-painless and actually relaxing! I love this service because I can go without mascara. No matter who you book for services, the entire staff is excellent. I would not trust my face to anyone else. Best of all, there is no hard sell of products, but they do sell Dermatologica which I think is a great range. Mirielle and staff are always charming, professional and on-time. Love it! read more

I tried Mireille during the Yelp promo. a brazilian bikini for $30. YES. They use hard wax which I am a GREAT fan off, Julie did a great job, she was extremely professional and friendly and made me feel very comfortable. it was done in a jiffy and very neat. I am a big fan and would go here more often if I had the money. Its a tad more expensive than my regular $45. I think its $65 here. Ouch. read more

Smoooooth. Obviously it hurts but not quite as bad as it could and it is pricey but I have spent more on less great things. THIS is great! read more

The first time I went here was 8+ years ago. I was a consistent bikini wax client until I stopped working in the area. In the past couple years I have tried other places and I can honestly tell you: NOTHING COMPARES. Mireille's is THE BEST. I recently retuned before a beach vacation and I now know it is worth my time and effort to come down to Oak Street for waxing services. The comfortable, professional environment, the quality and attention to detail, and the reasonable pricing make it well worth it. Julie is excellent, the whole team is top-notch. read more

This is a warm and inviting place. I look forward to going, having a glass of flavored water, chatting with Mireille and walking out looking better than ever! A friend and I had a makeup lesson once that changed my life! I highly recommend it!!! read more

I've been coming here for years to get my 'brows done and I've had a great result every time. I'm not fussy so I've booked with every stylist- they are all brilliant & skilled at what they do. I came on the recommendation of my Sister and my Mom comes here as well- Mireille and her staff are so friendly and welcoming, I wouldn't go anywhere else! You can find a meter on the street if you don't mind walking 4 or 5 blocks, otherwise, the garage is your best bet if you don't mind paying for it or, even better, public transport. read more

love love love this place! I am big on eyebrow waxing and stay loyal to my waxer. I used to go to exhale but they kept upping their price and last time i went it was 30 bucks. I go once a month and I just thought that was outrageous. Then I went to mario on michigan for about a year and went to gabby. she always did a great job but insulted the nursing profession (i am a nursing student) saying she hopes her daughter does something more with her life than just be a nurse, knowing i am a nursing student. I was so offended that I stopped going to her. I was so lost for a good eyebrow wax when the woman I babysit for suggested seeing Mireille because she used to go to her when she lived in the city. Shelly saved me! I have gone a few times now and every time I end up with great eyebrows! I am getting a Brazilian next week so we'll see how that goes but I am very happy I found this place. Its small and intimate and everyone there is so friendly and warm. read more

Mirelle is amazing! I came here for an eyebrow tweeze and my eyebrows had never looked so good! She did a great job in shaping them and not making them too thin. Two days later I came back to have my bridal makeup done! Again she did a fabulous job. I am really not the best with make-up and I often feel I look like a clown when it is done. But Mirelle did such a great job and I felt incredible! The make-up even lasted throughout the entire night, even with all the dancing. Overall, great service and real quality! read more

Mireille's Studio is absolutely fantastic! After getting my eyebrows waxed by Mireille a couple of times I asked her thought on Microblading. I've been wanting to do it for months and was so pleased to hear they offered this service there. She told me all about her amazing esthetician, Rita, who does microblading and showed me some photos of her work. Mireille even had Rita do her eyebrow and they look on point!! I made the appointment for one week later and I'm sooo happy I did. Rita was sweet, professional, and meticulous. She took 45 minutes to exactly measure everything on my face so my eyebrows are symmetrical and perfect. She even has an app on her phone to take a photo and double check everything before she begins. She did a great job of making sure the experience was pleasant and even provided a blanket for me to get warm and cozy in while she went to work on my brows. They turned out AMAZING! Microblading is truly a game changer. I highly recommend getting it done and you MUST go to Rita at Mireille's Studio!!! read more

Mireille's Studio - Skin Care Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I also took advantage of the Yelp promo and am I glad I did! I actually wasn't planning to write a review until I saw one from Sony saying she wasn't happy with her brazilian wax experience. I had a brazilian with Julie also and not only was she a very sweet person, she was extremely professional, quick and thorough. I must agree with others that it didn't hurt as much and 8 weeks later, I have had no ingrown hairs and still sparse hair. I didn't give it 5 stars because parking sucks on Oak St! read more
