Burn/lifted skin from facial wax
Mei Mei H.

I've stopped by a couple of times before for facial threading and one time for a full face waxing. There were never any issues other than prices increasing after covid, which I think is understandable. I returned on 12/6/21 around 5PM. There were no customers in there so I was quickly seated down. I told the employee that I wanted to try the full face waxing again since the last time I enjoyed the ending result. The employee started waxing my face. I felt some tenderness from the hot wax around my eyes but just thought that maybe the skin was thinner there. She got some of the wax on my hairline but I figured I could just wash that out later. The wax seemed to be sticking and she was having to use some force to remove it. The employee went over the area around my upper lip and chin multiple times with the hot wax and even used the threading technique. Certain areas of my face was stinging when we were done but I wasn't sure if it was just being sensitive from the wax. Once I got home and had a chance to look in the mirror, I realized that it wasn't just swelling from irritation. My face was burned in multiple places. Specifically around my eyes, my lips and chin. The burns were raw and red. Today they have started scabbing over. Its pretty unsightly. I hope that there will be no permanent scarring. I returned on 12/8/21 around 4:45 to ask for a refund. The person who did my wax was there and she called her manager. She offered me a discount on a future service but I declined and she would only be willing to give me back $35 which didn't include the tax and tip. I didn't understand why I should have to tip and pay taxes for a service that ruined my skin. They told me not to come back but demanded I bring back their future service discount punch card. Apparently that card was more important than any type of professional customer service.

Dirty brush.

I wasn't going to leave a review because i've been going here for YEARS, but this place is not the same anymore. HIGHLY unsanitary on many different occasions. i went to get my eyebrows threaded and she brushed them with the filthiest brush. when i said it was dirty they insisted it wasn't and i asked them to bring me a clean one.. the comparison was disturbing (picture attached). On my most recent visit, i almost got my legs waxed. She told me to come in the first room on the right and the cover that was on the bed was dirty. she said she would put paper over it but i didn't even want to lay on top of it. She then told me she would do it in the other room... I went in that one and that bed had a blue cover on it that was also filthy. When i said it was dirty she said "Noo, no dirty" but there was obviously removable stains and substances on it. She had just got don't waxing somebody else and didn't bother to sanitize it so that says a lot right there. Hate to say it but I won't be back... ever.

Nice addition to the area. I just recently discovered The Threading Zone was open and finally got to check it out this afternoon. I had my eyebrows threaded after waiting a few minutes. The two young ladies were pleasant and performed the requested services quickly. I probably was in the salon for maybe 10 minutes total and there was a constant flow of traffic. The salon is nice, modern and clean. They could stand to lower the heat a bit though because it was rather toasty inside. The florescent lights are also extremely bright. The light was blinding after having my eyes closed for a short while.. They should also maybe think about getting a light bulbs with a little less wattage. Anyway, the threading was only $8. They offer a rewards program where I believe the eighth visit is free. The young lady who serviced me did a nice job. I'll definitely be a return customer.

Outside this new threading salon in Bronzeville. It is located in the Lake Meadows shopping center.

Beware. After reading the rave reviews I decided to try this new shop since I was in the area. BIG mistake. The place is clean and the staff is polite, but my technician took my super thick eyebrows and made them very thin. I was very clear, but it was a classic case of customer asks for one thing but technician does another...or maybe the thin arch is all she knew how to do. Our conversation went like this: Me: Hi. This is my first time here. I really like my eyebrows thick. Very thick. Super thick. Like a man. Let me know if you have any questions. The technician silently smiled and nodded in agreement. 8 minutes later she handed me the mirror and she had removed half of the hair on both sides and one eyebrow was thicker. I asked her for the brush in case it wasn't as bad as it looked. It was, so I told her this isn't what I wanted as it is too thin. I'm not sure that she understood. When checking out, the other technician was also at the register. I elaborated on what happened. I explained that I really wanted them thick and that some clients don't want the thinner look. The woman who serviced me said she would keep this in mind for next time and her colleague simply said the woman always does a good job. Huh? If you have thick eyebrows, be careful.

Loyalty card - 4th threading service is 50% off and 8th is free!

Threading Zone is now my go to place for threading! It's unbeatable for $8 before tip and free parking. Also, they are open on Sundays, which is extremely rare in Chicago! For the past 6 months I have been going to Loyola area because it was the only place I liked that was open on Sundays! I hope prices stay the same because 4th threading service is 50% off and 8th threading service is free!

Ahhhh yes...I decided to once again, begin waxing my delicate lady parts. I used to do it years ago…read moreat Trim, when I lived in Humboldt Park. However, when I moved south I didn't feel like finding a new person so I broke out the trusty Venus. Yeah, she cool and errythang, but the daily upkeep and prickly, porcupine aftermath was just annoying. So I began my search. After googling Black-owned waxing salons, my search turned up Queen Noir. Location perfect and reviews even better, so I signed up. Was I nervous when I walked in? Yep. Did I have flashbacks to the time my delicate lady parts got scorched from an overly-aggressive waxer? Hellz yeah! But I put my big girl panties on, pimped into the waxing room, hopped on the table and "butterflied". My memories of being waxed in the past overtook me, so with each snatch of the cloth, I braced for the worst...but in all actuality, it really wasn't that bad. Nikki was patient, yet diligent and had me smoother than a baby's tush. Mama was pleased and Mama will be back. Gold star for Queen Noir!

The initial experience was quite positive, and I developed a good rapport with my esthetician after…read moremy first waxing session. However, the situation became less satisfactory when scheduled appointments were disrupted, and I was informed that my esthetician was unavailable, with the suggestion to book with another. Waxing is a very personal and intimate service, and many clients prefer to maintain consistency with their esthetician rather than having a new person for such private procedures. The quality of service provided by Denae was excellent, and I was genuinely disappointed to learn of her departure. Unfortunately, no forwarding contact information was provided, and I was simply told that other estheticians were available.
