First time getting waxed at a salon. (I'm an at-home beauty bargainista, haha) The reviews led me to book an appointment here. The reviews are spot on. Leticia is a ray of light- kind, thoughtful, compassionate, positive, professional, and thorough. If you want to have a truly pleasant, positive waxing experience, you'll find that here. Your money will be well spent! read more

If you are as nervous and scared for a first time waxing experience please see Leticia!! She made my first time experience as calming and soothing as possible. She walked me through each step and made me feel comfortable. Offered pauses and encouragement through each step as well. Also gave me some tips for after care and overall just did such an amazing job. I will definitely be going back again! read more

Leticia is amazing. I have never experienced a waxing service where I truly enjoyed going. Her energy and personality are what makes her services ten times better than anywhere else. She also does exquisite work and pays attention to detail, so no need to tweeze when you get home. read more

i highly recommend booking with leticia. she's soo gentle and takes her time (but doesn't drag). she really cares for you and your skin. i'll never go anywhere else for a wax! read more

Leticia performs expert services in a loving, caring and safe environment. She takes great care in performing every service offered, from routine hair removal to her Dr. Hauschka facial, which I highly recommend for an intensely relaxing and deeply cleansing experience. My time with Leticia often turns into therapeutic sessions as we go deeper than the service performed and explore life's highs and lows. Leticia quietly listens and offers grounded advice, unconditional support and steadfast encouragement. Whether you are looking for standard hair removal services or deeper meditative therapy, Leticia will accommodate all of your needs. Thank you, Leticia, for welcoming me each month and taking such wonderful care of me! read more

This was the first and only place I will ever go to get a wax. Leticia is phenomenal! I was very nervous going in for my first wax and did not know what to expect. Leticia made me feel calm and comfortable. She is so welcoming and so so kind. If you're thinking of booking an appointment here, especially if it's your first time, do it! Do not even think twice. You'll never go anywhere again! :) read more

I wish I was a poet so I could describe how great Leticia is. Calling all Dude's! If you want healthy skin then get a facial with my good friend here. read more

I have to start off by admitting that I did not read all previous reviews, so I'm sorry if I repeat things that others said (in a way, at least I'm confirming it!!!) I have been getting Brazilian Waxes for years now, and this is by far the best place I have ever been to. After reading reviews on Yelp, I went through numerous phone calls and email exchanges to set an appointment with her....and it was worth it. One of my favorite things is that there is no receptionist or anything. It's just you and her and her small salon. It's quaint, cozy, and comfortable. I went during the winter ...and it wasn't cold...which is important when you're naked. I've been back to see Leticia a few times and she is just the sweetest out there. She's thorough, quick, and really good at telling me when to breathe to ease off the pain. Seeing her is a treat!!! I talk to my friends about her like she's the icing on my cake!!! read more

Leticia is amazing. She is very professional and does an impeccable job. It's also worth to note she is very sweet and caring. I just had a baby 6 weeks ago and I was nervous about going for my first wax after baby but I really didn't need to be. She was so gentle and did not hurt me. Felt just like having a wax pre baby. I have also gotten facials from her and aside from her gentle approach and great selection of natural products, I left feeling very relaxed and refreshed. I Definitely recommend Leticia! No doubt about it for any of your beauty needs. read more

Leticia is amazing. She is calming, sweet and she makes it a point to make you feel comfortable. I can't recommend her enough!

If you're looking for an Esthetician or in dire need of a facial because your skin is parched/withered from Chicago's cold, dry and damp winter, look no further. Leticia Kagan of Beauty and Soul Spa in Logan Square is the Amma of skin care! She uses amazing products (Decleor and Dr. Hauschka) that awaken the largest, sensory organ covering your body--your skin. It's not just a facial--it's an experience for your body, mind and soul! Everything is back in balance: my skin is glowing, my heart and mind are open and I'm back in my body. read more

Leticia is wonderful; really a doll! She's very welcoming and attentive- seems like an old friend. For any newbies she explains the processes very thoroughly and along the way so you aren't shocked by anything. The location is very sanitary and relaxing. Also, great reading materials. You have full privacy and the overall environment is very tranquil with good energy. I recommend this spa to anyone for all of her treatments. read more

The owner of Beauty and Soul, Leticia, is extremely professional, knowledgeable, caring, kind and gentle person. The salon itself has a very relaxing and calming atmosphere. I have only gone there for Brazillian waxing and always have had a great experience since the treatment room is filled with amazing scents, feels extremely safe, is very clean and comfortable overall. I will continue visiting Beauty and Soul spa for as long as I can and look forward to exploring the range of services it offers outside of waxing. I highly recommend visiting this spa. read more

I must say that all the reviews I read are TRUE! Leticia is the absolutely amazing. I will never go anywhere else. Went in for my first ever bikini wax the end result was amazing. Surprising it did not hurt as much as I was expecting. She is very thorough and tells you what she is going to do so there are no surprises. Recommending here to all my family and friends. read more

If I could give Beauty & Soul Spa more than 5 stars, I would. Leticia, as others have mentioned, is a one woman show - and a complete expert. I have been going to her since early 2007 and will never go anywhere else for a bikini wax. As one of those unfortunate girls with fair & sensitive skin, but thick hair - waxing is really my only option for intimate hair removal (shaving irritates my skin too much, and well, I gotta do SOMETHING). I've been to a NUMBER of waxers in my day, and Leticia does the best job of anyone I've ever been to. She takes pride in what she does, is very respectful, makes you comfortable, and makes it as pain-free experience as waxing could be. Go see her!!! read more

7 years since I first went and I'm STILL seeing Leticia. Just wanted to reconfirm that she is still the greatest...

I've been seeing Leticia for 5 years now! I was very nervous entrusting my most precious areas to someone new, but 5 years ago after reading reviews I decided to try her out. I am so glad I did because she has such a calming, great energy that makes you relieved that you're there in her safe place and care. Bikini waxes always make me nervous because let's face it, they can be painful for a thick, dark haired girl, but she always manages to make me calm and take my mind off it. I love catching up with her and can't imagine going to anyone else at this point! read more

I've been procrastinating to post my review in hopes to keep Leticia a secret, so I wouldn't have to share her but apparently my secret is out. Leticia is amazing! By far the best wax I've ever had. She's so nice and makes you feel so absolutely comfortable, enough to where you look forward to going and just catching up. I'd be lost without her and I wouldn't even know where to begin to look for someone else if I ever had to. If anyone is looking for a great wax with good experience definitely visit Leticia. read more

Leticia is inarguably the sweetest and most thorough aesthetician I have found in the city. I had gone to her for waxing regularly a few years ago, and have since tried several different salons on the north side (closer to where I live) trying to find someone as good as she is. As of yet, I haven't found anyone who has come close. Her studio is small, but warm, homey and inviting, and each visit is like catching up on some time with an old friend, she's *that* welcoming. And as far as her waxing goes? She will make damn sure that there's not a hair where you don't want one to be, and her technique is somehow a lot less painful than the treatment you can get elsewhere. After searching high and low to find a more convenient aesthetician, I'd say she's worth the trek downtown. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Beauty & Soul yet. Leticia is INCREDIBLE. Truly, she is a healer. I actually look forward to my appointments because I love seeing her... and she's really great at her job. Best waxer I've ever encountered. Like... you wouldn't think you'd look forward to this particular type of thing, but I leave feeling calm and energized, as well as fuzz-free. Couldn't recommend more highly!! read more

Beauty & Soul is a small spa with a very personal feel. Leticia, the owner, is a very warm, kind-hearted woman who is determined to take care of you for the hour or so that you spend with her. She is focused on using products with only natural ingredients and does not try to sell them to you when you are finished. of course, they are wonderful products (Eminence and I think Decleor are a couple brands she uses) and you end up wanting to buy them, but there is no pressure or discomfort. Every time I leave Beauty & Soul, I feel like I have had a mini vacation with a best friend--and am always sent off with a hug. I highly, highly recommend it. read more

Beauty & Soul - Skin Care Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This woman has an amazing energy and made me feel so comfortable for my first wax! Will definitely be coming back

Never did I think that I would look forward to an appointment 2 months away, where someone would pour hot wax on me and rip out my hairs. I cannot wait to go back to Leticia. She was so welcoming and kind. I felt at peace and calm the entire time. She is truly a special soul whose kindness envelopes you. My wax was the most thorough and precise. My only regret is that once everyone knows about her, I may never get another appointment. read more

I went in for a bikini wax and would go so far as to say that working with Leticia is a life changing experience. She is kind, gentle, professional, thorough, and a truly amazing healer. You will never encounter another esthetician who cares more. I will be going back for many other services, as I've found my new favorite spot. read more

Leticia is such a professional, she is skilled, efficient, and creates a therapeutic/spa environment from beginning to end. She and her salon are very clean. She's meticulous and really takes pride in her work. She will make sure that you are happy when you leave. I am so happy that I went to her and doubt that I will ever go elsewhere for my Brazilian wax. Her interpersonal skills are just the cherry on top of the whole experience! She is so friendly, caring, and really invests into knowing her clients and making you feel comfortable. Thanks Leticia for a great experience! read more

Quite simply Leticia is an angel. I'm not one to cheese but I'm sure you'd agree. I've been a customer of hers for 7 or 8 years and I would follow her anywhere. Her spa is so lovely and soothing and, despite visiting her for waxing services, it's such a calm, terrific experience. She is the best; you will not find anyone who can do something so well and with such care. read more

I highly recommend Leticia. She makes the whole experience so relaxing. I've been going to beauty and soul I believe about 8 years and couldn't imagine going anywhere else. The experience is fantastic. read more

Amazing healing therapy session the other day....just thinking about it again has my muscles relaxing and my soul and spirit soaring. Chicago and the folks of Logan Square are lucky to have this spa. Leticia is truly gifted and and I am grateful. read more

Just went for my first ever wax of any kind. I got a Brazilian and my armpits waxed and Leticia was amazing, comforting, knowledgable, and skilled. I also appreciate that she pointed out to me that with my fair akin and dark, coarse, curly hair, I am an ideal candidate for laser. If you feel hesitant about wading and want a comforting place to try it, go here. Leticia is amazing and for someone who feels like I never get a fully clean armpit shave and get prickly in my bikini area after one day, I am looooving how my skin feels several days after waxing. read more

Excellent, quick, professional waxing. Don't be scared, this would be a great choice even for your first experience with wax! I would suggest this place to anyone-it's the best waxing I've ever had. read more

Leticia is absolutely magnificent. There are not enough people in the world who are as attentive, genuine, and compassionate as she is. My session with her felt more like a healing therapy than a bikini wax. Not only did her energy make the experience fantastic, but my girl area was looking stellar for almost two months! I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment )'( read more

I went to Leticia for my first ever waxing. What an experience! She eased my fears and made sure I was comfortable and informed for every step of the process. It was no where near as painful as I anticipated and I might go so far as to say it was a relaxing and even enjoyable experience! The best part is that her quiet, cozy salon is less than a block away from my apartment. It feels like a blessing that I found her. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone! read more

I don't know what I could possibly say that hasn't been said below! Suffice it to say that I had such an amazing experience this morning for my first waxing that I made a yelp account just to sing Leticia's praises! Her space is calm, clean and inviting, and the same (and more) can be said for the woman herself. I've already recommended her services to multiple friends! The waxing session felt more like a therapy than a painful depilatory session. Now I'm hooked, and wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Leticia is the TOPS. I have gone here once a month for a year and it is beyond a facial/wax. It's a spiritual experience! She touches a part of my body and knows exactly how much I've slept, how much water I've had, and what kind of week I've had. I feel calm, empowered, loved and beautiful. She truly is sunshine. I breathe better, sleep better, feel better the second I enter. read more

Leticia is amazing. Before coming here, I had stopped waxing. My previous experiences were very painful, and not good at all - I had tried many different places and estheticians. Until a friend recommended Leticia. She is professional, warm, gentle, in tune and fabulous at what she does. Devoted to ensuring you are comfortable, relaxed, look and feel amazing with the end result and are satisfied with her services. All while emitting a calming, healing energy and all around great vibe. read more

I have received several facials from Leticia using the Dr. Hauschka products and treatment method. I have been using Dr. Hauschka skincare products for over twenty years and have had treatments in various cities across the country. Leticia is by far one of the best estheticians and a wonderful, warm, nuturing person. She makes the whole experience feel like a retreat -- a restoration and rejuvenation. You can tell that she honestly loves her work. She has a gentle, intuitive touch. After a session with her, my sensitive skin looks and feels great and so do I. read more

Leticia began by saying that she does treatments rather than facials. She meant that I was in store for a truly relaxing and nurturing experience in the hands of a caring person and skilled aesthetician. She read my skin well and I plan on following her recommendations for "at home" care. But what was even more important to me than my newly glowing skin, was the ability to step out of a very stressful place and feel restored. I plan on returning with each season change to help my skin transition. read more

There is no one better at waxing than Leticia. Period. I have been going to her for over 10 years. Since I first met her, I have gone to her exclusively. Of course, since she is in the Gold Coast and I am in Lincoln Square and tend to leave everything until the last minute, I have had to go elsewhere for waxing. Such a mistake. Those are other reviews in other places! But this reaffirms the fact that she is the greatest waxer ever. Worth the trip. Aside from being the greatest waxer, you couldn't ask for a nicer person. All around the best experience you could dream of while being waxed. My eyebrows are always perfect and she does an amazing Brazilian. read more

I have followed Leticia from various places and am so very proud of her for venturing into her own spa. To echo the others, she is one of the nicest people around and truly cares about her clients. I look forward to seeing her frequently for my beauty boost. Love the products she carries too just wish I could indulge in those more! Leticia has done wonders for my skin! Thank you. read more

Leticia is one of the nicest people around. She does a wonderful job. The best I've had in the city. And, her space is pleasant - I don't dread my wax appointments anymore!! read more
