I've been a fan of Gaya for two years now. We first met at Xentrix Beauty Lounge, and she recently opened her own salon so I followed her here. I honestly won't see anyone else for waxing or threading...and I tried. The experience was night and day. I don't know about you, but finding someone you feel comfortable with to polish your fine china is not an easy task...well, at least not for me. One of the best qualities about her is that she always makes me feel at ease while making me laugh at the same time. I like to call it...... 'Fun time with Gaya'..haha. If your looking for upbeat, professional, personable, caring and reliable beauty services...then she's your girl. She is a wealth of knowledge. She makes you feel safe when your lying on that dreaded table knowing the Brazilian your about to get is gonna hurt like hell (for at least 2 minutes). She is kind, warm and just a good soul. Her prices are more than fair and she offers incentives as well. All products used are natural/organic. I see her for waxing and threading, but there is nothing she can't do....from lashes to hair styling, cuts, henna tattoos, color, skin care, nails, makeup...She does it all. She's also extremely hygienic and making appointments with her is a breeze. She's located in Sola Salon Suites at Bloomingdale Square mall - this building is newer, very clean and nicely decorated. More than enough parking (plus you can stop next door at Taj Mahal and grab some excellent Indian food!). She had more reviews showing on her page, but I heard once she declined advertising with Yelp they chose to hide those reviews. I just have to say that's pretty shitty of Yelp. Sooo....you may want to check out what other's have to say about her as well (in the "not currently recommended" review section). I've had nothing but great experiences with her. Highly recommend a visit for china polishing..

Right after cut by Amy Allwelt from Amy's Hair Artistry

I haven't had a cut in awhile because I have very long and thick hair and I like to keep it long. For some reason, many stylist never seem to want to listen to their clients who ask for a certain length off. I went to Amy Allwelt at Fentons Sola Salon I believe it's Amy's Hair Artistry, but her name is correct. I showed her where I wanted my hair to land which was at my chest line. She replied with "so you want a trim" I said yes. I informed her I had my daughters wedding next month and was getting a messy low bun and how important this was. She stated "oh yeah, you will have plenty of hair for that". She washed and combed my hair then went to the back where you can't see it and started chopping. By the time it was cut where I could see it, I knew it was cut way too short. She then blew it straight and it landed an inch past my shoulders!! My hair was gone! I called for a refund as she charged me $55 for this hack job and she never called back. Do not book with Hair Artistry by Amy Allwelt!! She does not care at all and does not know how to do a basic cut! I have spent $200 getting real hair extension pieces to color my hair color so I could get the hairstyle I wanted for my daughters wedding. Lesson learned! Picture is right after she cut and blow dried my once long and wavy hair.

being rude and unprofessional.

Gaya does a great job for threading and waxing services and she is so sweet! Everything is priced reasonably. Only $25 for full arm waxing

I've been going to Sharda's for 15+ years and I hope she never retires lol. I've moved out of the…read morearea but still take the 30 minute drive to have Sharda thread my brows. This small and locally owned business also offers facials and waxing but I've only been here for eye brow threading. The prices have gone up a whole ONE time since I've been going here, which was in 2020. If you do see Sharda, her pricing is more compared to the other staff members. I personally have only seen her so I can't speak to the others. Anticipate a slight wait time if coming in after 5pm during the week or anytime on the weekend. You are not able make an appointment but it really only takes about 10 minutes for eye brow breading. Bring cash too, they do not accept CC for services that total under $20. I don't think their hours are correct on google and Yelp so be sure to call ahead to make sure they're open. I did notice that there was a sign during my recent visit that said they are closed on Mondays.

I've been going to Sharda's salon for over 20 years now, and there is no one I'd trust with my…read moreeyebrows other than Sharda or her team. Koki is the most kind and efficient waxologist I've ever know and I love that I can be in-and-out of the salon for threading and waxing in 30 minutes. This is especially helpful because I'm usually seeing them when I'm in town from NYC and scheduling something last minute and they always find time to fit me in. Sharda and Koki are the sweetest, most loving people I know and I am so thankful to have met them. I am grateful I have a place to go to whenever I visit IL to have my beauty needs met. My family and friends also come here for their threading and waxing and I don't think any of us would trust our faces or bodies to anyone else!

It's a kiosk in the middle of the mall with a couple of chairs. If you don't mind getting threaded…read morein the middle of the mall and have the mall rats watch you remove your hair then this is the place for you. I didn't give it 1 star because of the location. I rated it based on the service quality and the price. I came here on a Friday afternoon, no customers being served or waiting to be threaded. I got my eye brows threaded for $10 which expensive in the area. I was pressed for time and since I was at the mall already I decided to get my eyes did. It took less than 5 minutes, which is very short time since I haven't gotten them threaded or anything since Christmas. OK i've gotten my brows waxed and threaded numerous times. But they were BURNING!!!!! She kicked me outta my chair and took my money. I feel like they used fishing line or something. Usually places will give u a mirror while you're sitting in the chair, but she made me get up to a mirror at the kiosk. Also, other places will offer or will often put something on your brows to soothe them or prevent irritation. By the time I was exiting the mall, I noticed red spots. I'm not sure why the tech was in such a hurry. There was no one waiting and she obviously did not care about customer service.

I've been to this place about 4-5 times. The first 3 times i had the same woman who was actually…read moreworth the $10. She threaded my eyebrows, plucked, cut with scissors and brought me the mirror. She was nice. The next time I went, there a very young girl did my eyebrows and she was by far the best. She made my eyebrows perfect. Shetried to sell me some kind of powder to make my eyebrown look fuller which looked like regular eyeshadow. She was just doing her job! The last time I went is the worst. This lady rushed me and left hair all over my face. She made me get up to get the mirror. She left patches of hair. My sister got her eyebrows done by her too and we both dislike her. Now everytime we go to the mall its the same woman at the kiosk. I haven't gotten them threaded there since. SO PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY!!
