I really liked this place! I've never been threaded before and was nervous, but the woman there was really sweet and it didn't hurt as bad as I thought. A lot cheaper than waxing, and quick too! I didn't have to wait more than 5 min. The salon was really clean inside as well. Would definitely recommend! read more

Riya's is the absolute best. Prior to going to her studio, I've always been very nervous about my eyebrows and who does them. Due to the great reviews, I decided to give her a try. She is a one woman studio, and no matter how busy she may get with walk-ins, she will always accommodate you. There have been times where she waited on me 45 minutes after closing because I got off of work late, and she worked around my schedule. Best place, hands down. read more

Came in here just on a whim since I had time left on my parking meter and walked in. Asked about the price of threading for eyebrows and was offered an incredible price for brow & upper lip. Julie was there and she was very nice:) Her technique was pain-free and this included a quick eyebrow massage!! Amazing! I would definitely recommend stopping by and check in with Julie. Two Thumbs Up !! read more

I've been getting my eyebrows threaded here for a few months now and I can't say enough about this place. I've been to other people to have my eyebrows done and had some mediocre results, with a lot more pain. The owner here is a true expert. I'm always happy with her work. Prices are great, the place is clean and comfortable and there is easy street parking. As a bonus she offers free upper lip threading with the purchase of the brows. Definitely a gem and a place I will keep going back to again and again. Highly recommended! read more

Riya is good. I've come here about five times to get my eyebrows threaded. She does a good job threading. My only complaint is that they offer a DePaul Student discount and when I mention it and show my ID, I still seem to get charged regular price. I'm not too sure what is up with that. Nice place to go when I am not out south and able to get my usual $5 deal. read more

Amazing!!! My eyebrows haven't looked this good in years. She even has a play area for little ones. I drive 20 minutes out of my way just for her. So glad I found this place. read more

Quick. Painless. & precise. I have definitely found my new eyebrow threading spot. I 100% recommend this place if you are looking for quality work at an affordable price. I went on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait, the whole process took about 10 minutes and my eyebrows look amazing! read more

Love this place! I had read all about Julie before coming here, and was so happy to find she was everything people said. Quick, friendly, professional, and did an amazing job on my extremely overdue-for-a-bushwhacking brows. I used to go to threading concepts on Armitage and was sad to be further away, but have finally found an even better replacement nearby me! read more

I will give a zero star if I can. I came in to get a Brazilian wax, and it's the first time ever that someone couldn't get all the hair removed. So now it looks really strange and i need to wait for the hair to grow back. Even worse, the wax was burning hot and you can image that having it on the sensitive part of your body was surely not a pleasant experience. IT WAS HORRIBLE read more

I've been going to Julie for my eyebrows for about 2 years. She is super nice and actually listens to your request. I followed her from her previous location because she has done a phenomenal job on my eyebrows since day one. I definitely recommend coming here for all your threading needs. I make the commute from Jefferson Park twice a month, just for her! read more

I walked in 10 minutes before closing because I couldn't get off work early (yupp, I was THAT person). Nonetheless, Julie gladly welcomed me inside. It was my first time getting my eyebrows threaded as I usually get them waxed. The experience was so much less painful than I had anticipated and Julie did a fantastic job. And the salon is so nicely decorated, clean, & cozy. I will definitely be back :) read more

I will never ever go anywhere else for any waxing/thread needs ever again! Specifically for Brazilian - I was so nervous, and Julie was AMAZING. She put me at ease, played relaxing music, and she has the lightest hand ever, literally felt no pain. Even if I move out of Chicago, I will fly back to visit Julie, there is no where else I would rather go! read more

Literally the least painful and most pleasant experience I have ever had threading my eyebrows. A great price for a lovely service!!

Came here to get my eyelashes done for my birthday. She was so sweet and took great care of me, ensuring I wouldn't freak out when she put each individual eyelash on. Would definitely come back!! read more

Let me just say that I do threading very often and this was my first time at Riya's. She did an amazing job and plus it didn't even hurt that much, unlike some of the other places that I've been too. She was very gentle and even asked if I wanted a cooling lotion after. Im very sensitive on my face, so I tend to tear up and sneeze a lot when I get my eyebrows done and when all that started to happen, she got worried that she was hurting me too much. But it's just my overly sensitive face, and I really appreciated the fact that she cared if I was okay. Plus, she did my upper lip for FREE. I'm definitely going to be a regular here :) read more

I am not into beauty-related shit for the most part but I've got them middle eastern eyebrows so I have to manage them or else I've got a face caterpillar. Little did I know that eyebrows could be art until babygurl at Riya basically brought me to tears with a classy-ass eyebrow arch. Love this place will always always go to her read more

My wife goes there regularly ... This is her review .. " she really takes care of her customer... She makes sure they are comfortable and stress free ... She is quick , great at what she does and affordable... Happy to go to her again and again" read more

Love her! First time getting my eyebrows threaded, walked in no wait. Made me feel really comfortable and in a few minutes my eyebrows were perfect again. I was afraid they might end up thin but she felt them nice and thick. read more

I highly recommend Riya's. Julie was able to fix a botched job and shaped my eyebrows perfectly.

Julie is fast and neat at threading.. The parlour is clean and service is super fast.. For $10 you can get eyebrows and upper lips done .. Definitely is my standard parlour for threading! read more

Riya definitely has a gentle hand when it comes to full leg waxing! I was very impressed with a same day appointment while on a short business trip to Chicago, she was wonderful!! read more

This was the first time I've ever gotten my eyebrows threaded. I went with my friend and they've never looked better! It was pain free and quick. This will be a new priority of mine. read more

I used a groupon today for full legs and my experience with Julia was great! She was very nice and kind, i really had a good time there. The salon itself seems to be very clean. Only thing i realized was that she used the same stick for the whole process so i am assuming she wouldnt use the same waxing batch for someone else as well. She is great with waxing, the price is great and I will definitely come back to her! read more

Great service, fast and less painful than others I have gone to. Great deal, I paid $10 for eyebrow threading and I got lip threading done for free. Highly recommend! read more

This place is located in the north side and I live in the south side so I have to travel a long way but this place is worth it! The lady is gentle and does your eyebrows so perfect! (Well perfect for me lol) I will definitely recommend to the homies. read more

My eyebrows have never looked better!! This is the best spot in town. My last visit I noticed one of the services offered is lashes. Today I decided why not. Individual lashes for $30 you really can't beat that! My brows are on point and my lash game is unbeatable. read more

I'm so happy to have finally found the best go-to spot to get my eyebrows done. Julie is amazing! She shaped my eyebrows clean and perfect. She is very sweet too. The way she threads does not hurt much either. read more

Julie is amazing! I love the shape of my eyebrows and the threading is painless! I highly recommend Julie at the Riya Threading Lounge!

Eyebrow goddess!!!!! I grew my eyebrows out for almost a year before i let anyone touch them and Riya did not let me down. They were sculpted perfectly while still left as thick as possible. I highly recommend to anyone. read more

I've been going to Riya's for several months now and absolutely love it! The store is super clean and well kept. My skin is pretty sensitive & Riya has so accommodating with threading my eyebrows and waxing my upper lip. I tried to thread my upper lip the first time, but didn't react well to it. The second time I went she waxed my upper lip & have been doing that since. I would highly recommend going Riya's Threading Lounge if you're looking for a new spot. read more

I used to be a regular until today. They recently upped their prices and hired a new person that doesn't do a good job she messed my eyebrows up. I would go out of my way to come out here for my eyebrows but not worth it anymore. If you live in the area ask for Julie to do your eyebrows she's amazing. Lips isn't part of the service anymore tho keep that in mind. read more

I started using retin-a on my skin to treat acne so I can no longer get my eyebrows waxed (waxing can really harm your skin if you are using retin a!) luckily I found Riya Threading Lounge by searching on yelp. Julie did not disappoint!! I didn't have a scheduled appointment so I had to wait for about 20 minutes (which was totally expected), and then she sat me down and I was done in under 5 minutes. The threading was on the same pain level as waxing and the results were just as good as what I've been accustomed to with waxing!! I've been getting my eyebrows waxed for almost ten years now so I was hesitant to try out threading, but I am really content with the results. Julia charges an amazingly low price for the quality of her work! I will definitely be returning in the future. read more

The only place in the city that I've tried and loved. I have really thin unshapely eyebrows and they always manage to give them a nice shape. read more

Julie is an eyebrow whisperer. Came in a week before my wedding with crazy brows that I was trying to grow out and some hesitation about entrusting a total stranger with them...But the reviews were true! Julie nailed it. I was in and out in under 10 minutes and only $10 later had great brows and was still on track with my grow out plan. I'd tried out a few of the waxing places that were highly rated on Yelp prior to coming in. I'd never tried threading before, but now I know what's up. Julie knows what she's doing. This place is a little gem! read more

I don't know what took me so long to right this review. I've coming to see Julie faithfully since June and I'm a girl that's huge about her eyebrows, so she must be good! She gives a very natural and meticulous eyebrow shape. She's sweet and yes, she has the softest hands! Clean and very reasonable prices, I hope she never leaves! I was looking for someone closer to me (not Devon) and I didn't go wrong with Julie (Riya). Check her out!! read more

Loved this place! Kid friendly (big bonus!!). Julie did an amazing job giving my brows a perfect shape :) will def return.

A new customer at Riya's and I will definitely be coming back! Lots of other threading places will leave you with super thin brows, but not here. She advises you on what shape and maintenance works best for you. The process is less painful and is very thorough at the same time. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

I wasn't happy with my local eyebrow place so ventured to try some place new. It's worth the 20 minute drive as my eyebrows have come out great everytime! Def recommend. read more

Julie did an awesome job on my eyebrows. Very friendly and knows her stuff. It was quick, easy, and cheap. But looks like a million bucks. I will definitely come back again. read more

Affordable prices, best quality, and great customer care. I've been to my fair share of Indian eyebrow threading places over the past ten years and this place has been the best and exactly what I was looking for. You can rely on Julie to do it right every time and not feel like you're taking a gamble. I'm a DePaul student so it's really close by to campus and I've made this my regular spot since a year ago! Amazing facials too! Give this place a chance and you won't be disappointed! read more
