Called and made an appointment showed up early and she was fantastic Super nice and efficient and I would highly recommend. The place was clean and followed all Covid precautions. I had my eyebrows threaded well read more

I got my brows threaded after work one day. I was sat and had them done immediately. They look good and it was only $15 so great price for a good job done! read more

The lady was very nice, the place was very clean. I was just a walk-in as I was exploring the neighborhood. But I will say my eyebrows did not turn out how I expected or anywhere near. They were much thinner than I normally have them and what I asked for. read more

This is close to my gym so I stopped in on my way home and was thoroughly impressed with how my eyebrows came out. I have very thick eyebrows and it's always so hard to find someone who knows how to do them right. I will definitely be coming back here again! read more

I've had a good experience here once in the past with one woman who threaded my upper lip, but today I came in and i think the woman working there must be newer(?). There was another woman who came before me and left rlly upset because her eyebrows weren't done well and she said that she's been coming to another woman here for a long time so she was expecting the same service. i didn't think much of it as sometimes customers can be a little neurotic as we all know, but I'm sad to say I was rlly disappointed by the way she did my threading. i got my upper lip, lower lip, chin, and sideburns done. everything was fine except for the sideburns. i wanted a more natural look but she took so much random hair off and it blends so horribly with my cheeks. i don't like to thread the hair off my cheeks because it makes my acne worse and i've had plenty of people in the past who were able to do my sideburns but still made it blend naturally. this girl must be new or inexperienced because she wasn't able to do that and it didn't rlly seem like she knew what she was doing ?? It was so disappointing and it rly makes me not want to come back here even though there are so many good reviews and i live so close. maybe they're just not good for threading. either way I was upset to pay over $30 for a service i was unhappy with. i don't complain about things like this and i still gave her a tip for her time but i wouldn't recommend coming in here for threading unfortunately, and I don't think i'll be coming back even though i live so close :/ read more

I have never in my life had my eyebrows or lashes done and saw a sign outside for a lash lift before a trip two weeks ago. I called while I was shopping at down the street and they got me in right away. I told her I wanted a lash lift and she asked if I wanted brows done as well and I decided to try it out. I was THOROUGHLY impressed. I had a lash lift and tint and she threaded my brows and tinted them as well. It faded a bit after washing my face the next day and looks so natural. I had a week long vacation where I was in water everyday and I'm still getting comments about my lashes. Cannot recommend this place enough! I had my eyes closed for the entire process but at least four people came in during my ~30 min session to get eyebrow threading and sounded like repeat customers. Will be coming back! And very reasonable prices. read more

I had a fine experience the first time I came here but stopped in recently for my eyebrows and an absolutely terrible job was done. Initially, she left many small hairs (beneath my eyebrow). I asked her to remove them and she ended up going too far into my left eyebrow. The end result was a very arched, uneven left brow. A second woman came to consult and stated it's best to get tinting--no thanks, I naturally have thick eyebrows. She laughed, stating if I want thick brows, I'll need to do tinting....completely disregarding the brow was not thick because of her mistake...She then recommended I come in two weeks so they can grow back out. I understand mistakes can happen, but she should have offered this service at no charge since the completely ruined the one brow. I ended up having to wait 4 months for them to grow back to normal. Do not recommend--go else where. read more

Fast and accurate service! I always feel heard coming here and I get exactly what I want without being upsold. I've been twice during the Covid pandemic and they always do temp checks and masks are required. I will continue coming here for affordable, great service! read more

I don't like writing reviews like this but I won't be coming back here. She made my eyebrows very uneven. Like one side is thicker n the other side is shorter. They look lopsided. Also she took out some hair in the front of my eyebrow to make it worse. I've been growing my eyebrows since I was in 6th grade and she's made this process of growing them out even longer. read more

I get everything threaded here except my eyebrows and they do a really good job Being 1/4 Mediterranean makes this a crucial stop for me once a month read more

Julie has a heart of gold!!! I've been coming to her for my eyebrows for a year now and she never lets me down, and I don't trust many. Came to her a couple days ago for my first Brazilian experience and I was terrified the entire time. Sweet, sweet Julie was so patient with me from literally 3pm-7:30pm (YES that's how long it lasted because I was in so much pain bc it being my first time). She was just so considerate and patient with me and I really thank her for that. Best in town!!!!! So worth it and awesome prices read more

Absolutely wonderful. Julie is always welcoming and her salon is very clean. She just opened this salon on Lincoln Park, so it's fairly new. I usually call before I come in, but the last two times I've just been walking by on my way home and she puts me right in. It's $10 for eyebrows and upperlip - super affordable. She gives a wonderful head massage with lotion at the end and it's so relaxing. I live 5 minutes away so this spot is definitely turning into a regular! read more

Riya Threading Lounge - Riyas salon - Threading Services Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I am crazy about my eyebrows, and I only get them threaded. I have gone all over the city trying to find someone who does a great job, but is also very clean. Julie was very welcoming, and has very soft hands. The experience was nearly painless, and she did a wonderful job. I ALWAYS stress that my eyebrows be left thick, and she got it just right! She has found a new loyal customer. Thank you...my eyebrows are now "on fleek" ;) read more

Riya Threading Lounge - 4 days into my threading, haven't done any plucking since - Threading Services Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Posted opening time is 10 AM. I called twice and the woman told me that she would be there in "a few minutes" but after an hour, she still wasn't there. She arrived shortly after 11. She was upset about filing her taxes and distracted. She missed some pretty obvious hairs on my upper lip. She apologized once but it didn't seem like she was too concerned. She missed two other customers while I was waiting, which I did mention to her. Didn't seem to be bothered by this. I had been here before-twice and been impressed but this experience made it clear that it's time to find a new threading spot. Bummer. read more

If you are a guy avoid coming here. They don't know how to do mens brows. Specifically told them I wanted just the middle unibrow area but they proceed to start threading my whole bottom brow resulting in a more feminine look. read more

This is a good place but one of the girls (there's two and I think this was a younger one) is extremely rough when she did my eyebrows this past Friday evening. I was pretty much wincing in pain and now I see I have painful cuts and redness all around that eyebrow. She did good shaping of my eyebrows but really needs to take it down a few notches on the aggressiveness. I'm worried about going back in case I get her again. read more

Riya Threading Lounge - Redness and painful cuts around my eyebrow - Threading Services Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

She DOES NOT KNOW how to do eyelashes! I now have a half bloodshot eye because one of the eyelashes were stabbing into my eye! Went to sleep and woke up with eye pain to see that there was a blood bubble in the eye and the lash that was sticking into it! Had to use a tweezer to pull it out! All around VERY PAINFUL AND A WASTE A MONEY! I showed her her work and did not ask for a refund either! She needs to learn to do her job or take it off the list of services!!!! read more

Very nice, clean and professional. I really like how my eyebrows look, we did a wax and a little bit of threading. It actually hurt a lot less than other places I've been, and I have very sensitive skin and I had no redness or tingling sensation which I almost always have due to my skin type- which means she probably uses a great wax. This is my new eyebrow place! Very excited to find a new place I can trust and always go too!!! :) (I'm very particular with my eyebrows as well) read more

Excellent job! I'm so happy I found this place. I will definitely be returning to her. We sat down and I told her that I liked my eyebrows on the thicker side & she delivered. 10/10 recommend! read more

The woman who work here are incredible. I have tested several lash lift places across Chicago and this one is by far the best. I just did my 5th lash lift and tint with them today and they killed it as always. This is the spot to go! read more

I've been here twice now and I'm never ever going back. The first time I came here, the eyebrow threading results were just okay. But I noticed my eyebrows started growing back immediately; it was as if the hairs weren't pulled at the root. And the woman who threaded my brows asked me three times if I wanted my upper lip threaded too. Up-selling is one thing, but this was bordering on rude. My saying "no" once should be enough. And it made me incredibly self-conscious the rest of the day! Overall, I thought it deserved another chance. Well, the woman lobbed off HALF OF MY EYEBROW when I came back just the other day. Again, she did a hard up-sell the entire time I was in the chair. And worse yet, she answered the phone mid-way through and continued threading my eyebrows with the phone wedged on her shoulder and talking and laughing away with a friend. When I checked my eyebrows as I walked out, I wanted to cry. My right eyebrow starts where my pupil begins. I wish I was kidding. If you want to keep two full eyebrows on your face, don't come here. read more

Exceptional service!!! If I could give Riya's 10 stars, I would! Julie shapes and tints my brows perfectly ... I'm a huge fan of her work, and I'm very picky! The eyelash tint is amazing too! I recently relocated to Ocala, and I was reluctant to try a new salon. A friend recommended Riya's, and I'm so glad she did! The salon is very clean and cute, and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming. They offer reasonable prices and a fantastic customer rewards program, too. Always an A+ experience! read more

For years, I waxed my eyebrows....and then I discovered threading- this place has a great price and the owner has a delicate hand when it comes to the shaping and definition of my eyebrows. I have a very low tolerance for pain of any sort- and my face is no exception. Although waxing is faster, threading is more thorough and precise, and the owner works fast, but takes her time if she notices I am uncomfortable-she always makes sure I am okay and the lotion she uses afterwards not only soothes my skin, but smells great and I feel cleaner than when I walk in. I love the way I look and feel after leaving here and I rarely have a long wait if I'm a walk-in, which I often am because I live close by. The ambiance is calming- wonderful music and comfy sitting area. The bathroom is also very clean and tidy. I try to come in every two weeks, and she teases me when I've skipped a week- I feel she really cares about her clients and her business is obviously growing since she opened another shop! read more

Glad I found Riya! I've been getting my eyebrows threaded for years and my biggest fear has always been that they'd get too thin, because growing out eyebrow hair is just impossible and frustrating. Riya did a good job listening to exactly what I wanted done. She paused and recommended something slightly different and showed me how it was going to look like and I really appreciated that. She was efficient and effective. I've only been here once now. Consistency is key, so crossing my fingers that this good experience continues throughout the next visits!! read more

Do you know how long it takes for your eyebrows to grow back? Well I had taken all of the time to grow my eyebrows back after the last butcher job I got. I go to Riya because I have been there a couple of times and it seemed ok. After months of growing my eyebrows I go to Riya and THEY BUTCHERED MY EYEBROWS!!! I ASKED her to make my eyebrows thick and to leave shorter hairs for growth. She did not listen or follow instructions and now I have two different eyebrows that are thin and skinny which is what I hate! I will never return I thought it would be okay because there was no language barrier but obviously there is because they cannot follow simple instructions! I wish I could leave no stars as my rating just for the hatchet job I received! She wouldn't accept responsibility and no sorry was given! I hope they go out of business! read more

I have always gone to Riya Threading to get waxed. I was really nervous to use the hard wax but I HIGHLY recommend it! A lot less painful. You will never want to go back! read more

I have very thick eyebrows and couldn't find anyone to get them "just right" - so sparingly, I used to allow them to become out of control so that I could get them reshaped by someone new. This changed when I walked into Julie's store in 2015 - she took her time and turned these eyebrows into works of art. I have recently moved further from her store (2 train stops), but continue to make the trip to this gem read more

I've been going to this place since the day it has been open. This places is clean and cute, making it a relaxing environment. Julie puts special attention and care in everything she does. She'll always be there for your appointment, as long as you show up on time!!! Overall she's the best and this places has NEVER messed up my eyebrows ( I really care about my eyebrows guys). The prices are great, MAX 10 minute wait, and great customer service. If you care about your brows or waxing COME HERE!! read more

I've been coming to Riya's to get my eyebrows done for some time now. I'm thankful for her precision and I always get compliments on my eyebrows. I'm giving it 4 out of 5 because my first time I said I wanted full eyebrows, and she definitely left them full, but she made an arch that was a bit more significant than what I wanted. I still got compliments on my brows, but maybe didn't ask exactly right. That said she also didn't clarify my request further. read more

I am very HAPPY and will be back. Both my daughter and I had our best threading ever. I look forward to trying the rest of their services. read more

Wellll I can speak for their services which are one of the best!! Friday I got eyebrow threading as well as an upper lip threading. I AM IN LOVE!!! I received compliments all weekend. The interior of the salon is stunning way more than I expected. As far as the trash on the streets of Lincoln Park I haven't seen any come on give them a break it could have been a windy day where the flyers blew around. I doubt someone as nice as Julee would do such a thing. I have definitely found me a new "home" to get my eyebrows threaded. read more

This place is fantastic. They have a light touch so the threading is not painful. Very conscious of hygiene. And at the end of threading they offer a facial massage with rose water that is fabulous. I love this place. read more

Great service, friendly and welcoming staff, best threading job in Chicago! I looked into nearby eyebrow threading salons & I was very careful in my choice selection. I found that Riya's salon had great reviews and a high rating so I proceeded with inquiring about a last minute appointment which she happily accommodated! She had great response time and very welcoming and clean facilities. read more

Julie is great! I've been growing my eyebrows out during quarantine and she did an amazing job cleaning them up yet keeping them thick, just as I asked! I would highly recommend coming here :) read more

Stopped in today for the first time and LOVED it!!!!! It's been awhile since I had gotten my face threaded and she keeps you occupied by keeping a conversation with you. Then after she's done, she gives your face a massage, felt AMAZING! It's an affordable price, walk ins welcome, and cozy lounge. Will defiantly be coming back and making this my go to spot read more

Met Julie, did eyebrow threading (with free lip threading) and brazilian. She's efficient, fast, clean, gentle. The place just opened 3 months from this post. I definitely coming back ;) read more

Where are all this amazing reviews coming from? When I walked in, it was empty and the owner lady comes out of the back frustrated and started to get obnoxious... Not interested in writing the details but owner lady is so rude and unprofessional. Go here if you want to be talked down, yelled at and be disrespected. One of those fake places that are selective and pretentious. To think if you're the owner you would treat the customer kindly. read more

Happened to be visiting Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago when my daughter stated she has been looking for a place to get her eyebrows done, but no one seems to get it "right "in Long Island, NY. Personally I disagree, I love my eyebrow lady but that's a whole different yelp review.  So after driving around looking for parking for like 25 min, we both noticed there were quite a few eyebrow threading locations in the area, so we decided to go to my reliable yelpers for the "go to spot" to see if Chicago could get it "right "  We ended up at Riya's Threading Lounge which was like 5 min from the Zoo, and based on the wonderful pictures my fellow yelpers posted my daughter walked in excited rather than nervous about Riya's attempt to get the eyebrow arches even.   We walked in no wait as we were the only ones there.  ( Tuesday afternoon about 2pm) Riya's explained what she was going to do how she was going to reshape and wala!   Great...now apparently the only place to get it "right" is in Chicago! It's been like 2 hours and all I've heard is "Mom,  just look at them aren't they perfect!"  It's going to be a long flight home :) Thanks guys! I read more

Riya Threading Lounge - Perfect eyebrows for prom! - Threading Services Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I tried this place based on all the great reviews! It is really clean and spacious - and the extra bonus is that there's a little play area to keep the kids entertained. It's the little things! The prices are super reasonable and the owner did a fantastic job on my brows. She wasn't one of those super aggressive threading ladies, where she pushes the thread super hard into your skin. It was gentle and as comfortable as getting anything threaded could be. Big plus that you can tip on your credit card. read more

I stopped in after a pedicure at my favorite nail spot looking to get my eyebrows threaded. I was still working through some PTSD from my last threading at a new salon (I ended up with crooked brows that even liner couldn't conceal), so I was really hesitant to try a new place. Julie, the owner, greeted us warmly when we walked in. When she quoted me $10 for brows, I declined because my usual place does them for $7, but she offered to do my upper lip at no charge. How could I turn that down?! She did an amazing job on both my brows and lip, much to my relief considering my last bad experience. I will definitely be coming back here for my brows and other services she offers, which are very competitively priced. read more
