I highly recommend Marta's services. She is fast but she doesnt rush, considerate and super friendly. She was also very helpful in letting me know that because i switched from sugaring, which i had done for ten years, back to waxing, that i may have some ingrowns since the hair would be pulled in a different direction but if it happened, it should resolve itself within a couple of visits. Nothing better than educating your clients of what to expect so i was super appreciative of that! read more

About outstanding service! It was my first time getting Brazilian waxing and Marta did incredible job. Smooth fast and clean. Very positive experience, I will be back and highly recommended this place to others. Great vibe, great atmosphere friendly staff. read more

What a wonderful experience with Marta at Modern Waxing! I have been on the search for a new Cerologist (Waxing Specialist), for mine of 20 years moved. Marta was the perfect transition, her expertise, knowledge, and suggestions for improving my eyebrows were very impressive. I also did an upper lip wax and bikini wax, both done with exceptional detail and professionalism. For being my first time with her, she made the services so comfortable with her sweet and friendly ease of conversation. I would highly recommend Marta for your next wax appointment. Thank you, Marta! I'll be back! read more

I moved to Chicago recently and with the weather finally warming up a bit, it's time to find a person in Chicago for my bikini waxing. I went to this place because of the reviews and they are all spot-on. Marta is amazing! I had a great person in DC that I went to for years but I would say Marta is better. This is the quickest wax I've ever gotten and it was so well done. So happy I found my person in Chicago on the first try! read more

Amazing service, Marta is really great and caring. It didn't really hurt that much for a chest wax and the price was affordable

I literally just finished getting a Brazilian wax with Marta and could not wait to write her a review! She is so knowledgeable and kind, she listened to what I wanted, and did everything to make me feel comfortable. She is also so detailed, no missed hairs here! I am so happy to have found her and can't wait to book my next appointment. Thank you so much Marta! read more

Today was my first time going anywhere to a waxing service since I've moved to chicago and let me just say I could not have found a better place to stumble on! I absolutely ADORED Marta as she was so polite, walks you through the process & what/how she will be doing it, & just so welcoming. I've actually never gotten a Brazilian Wax before so I didn't know there has to be a lot of hair & instead of taking my money & doing it anyway she told me to come back in 2 weeks so I'm not disappointed for my first time which I appreciated so much & just focused on my eyebrows. I found my new spot :) wish me luck on the Brazilian 2 weeks from now read more

I was needing a wax before vacation last spring and stumbled upon this place on Yelp. Marta is phenomenal! I've been going back each month ever since. Not only is she super friendly and makes the whole process very relaxed and comfortable, she is good at what she does and is reasonably priced! The salon is also very clean and well kept. You can book appointments online which is super convenient and can receive discounts for referrals. I know where I will go every time I need a wax! read more

ONE WORD: Mindblown. I am an aesthetician in Las Vegas Nevada and just move to Chicago Illinois this woman is on believable and so speedy and pain-free....I don't even know how I got so lucky that my first wax is by this woman in my new city read more

Amazing wax session with Marta. She truly knows what she's doing and very professional. This is the first time in two years that I have not had skin irritation after waxing and look forward to returning. Plus I like the fact that she was not pushing me to buy any products which I have done in the past from other location which only cause more skin irritation.. I highly recommend modern waxing to anyone. read more

Marta is fantastic. Got a great wax because she is prompt, thorough, and experienced. Quick and easy. Book online and know that you will be pleased with the results. Enjoy!! read more

Love Marta! I'm just in town for the weekend - prior was traveling abroad for two weeks to multiple countries. Here for a bachelorette party to include a boat and bikinis and desperately needed a wax- Marta is THE best. She's making me want to find someone new back home in NYC. She's quick, thorough, and keeps your mind off the pain. Compared to NYC standards she is very competitive! Sorry I don't know the going rate in Chicago, but in NYC you pay $65 minimum for an "okay" job. I only have great things to say about Marta. Clean. Fast. Lovely. read more

Marta is by far the best technician I have ever experienced! She is very precise, speedy, and also so pleasant to talk to. I will go to her as long as I live in Chicago! read more

I go to Marta for my eyebrows every couple of weeks - she is amazing! I'm in and out in ten minutes. She always does a great job and is so sweet! read more

After recently moving to Chicago, I was desperately in need of a new place to get my eyebrows waxed. I am so glad I trusted Yelp and went to Marta! She took her time and really explained how she was shaping the eyebrows. She told me what to do and exact areas to look out for while maintaining them between appointments. The whole experience was wonderful. I'll be back again soon! read more

She was on the 4th floor. No notice other than a change of floor in the Google emails. I go to 4 and it's closed. A bit of notice would have been nice. As it is, I have made an appointment elsewhere. read more

Holy wow! Marta is AMAZING!!! I can't believe I've never gone to her before, not going to anyone else from here on out! First, she's super friendly. Chatting with her definitely took my mind off the waxing but it went so well and wasn't painful like other places I've gone to. Second, she is FAST! I was in an out in a lil under 30 mins for 2 services. Third, she uses different waxes to make sure things are super clean and smooth. The bonus part was how confident she made me feel with her kind words. Highly highly recommend going to her! read more

Great wax by Marta. Located inside salon on 4th floor. She is so easy to talk to and is very honest with her wax. I came in for a full leg but ended up only getting half leg because she said my hair wasn't quite long enough on my lower and it would end up breaking the hairs instead. I appreciated her honesty. Would definitely recommend her services! If I'm back in Chicago and need a wax I will go to her. read more

I almost don't want to submit this review because I want Marta to remain a hidden gem, but holy crap she's amazing. I've been going to Marta off and on now for about two years and in my 6 years of getting Brazilian waxes, I've gotten the best waxes in her little waxing room. She's incredibly personable and makes great conversation, quick and EXTREMELY thorough. I've had waxes before where upon inspecting myself at home, I end up seeing tons of left over hairs. Not with Marta. She gets everything off and will even bring out her tweezers for smaller hairs that the wax cant grab. While I live in Chicago, she'll be the only person I let wax me. read more

Marta is very professional and quick with her services. I appreciate the online booking system which allows for ease of scheduling and privacy in the booking process so I can book at work without announcing to the office what I'm doing. read more

Marta is the absolute BEST. She consistently provides the best Brazilian waxes I've ever had, going to anyone else is a mistake (I would know, I've gone to other salons for desperate last minute situations and always left disappointed). Marta is quick, skilled, and very reasonably priced. I'm always in and out in less than 10 minutes! She's so good and on top of all that, she's the nicest person! Chatting with her makes a not so fun service perfectly delightful. Highly highly recommend! read more

Marta is the best! I have been going to her for almost a year now. Scheduling is always very easy with her. She makes you feel comfortable and is very friendly. Also she's very fast! She makes it an easy and quick process while being thorough. read more

I love Marta so much, she is so kinda and accommodating. I was referred to her by a coworker and I'm so glad I go to her for my beauty needs. read more

Marta is amazing. I found her on Yelp as I moved to Chicago in 2016 and needed new beauty people, and I have never looked back. She's the fastest aesthetician I've ever seen when it comes to waxing you-know-where (I've been in and out in under 15 mins... like WHAT?!), and on top of that she's so friendly and complimentary that I always leave feeling really good about myself. I also see her for my eyebrows and I love the way she does them too. She's also extremely reasonably priced. I have referred so many of my friends to her as she's truly the best. read more

My only regret is not finding her sooner! She is legit the nicest, most professional, personable person ever. So thorough... Thank you so much!!! read more

Marta was great! This was my first time waxing since moving to Chicago and was pleasantly surprised. She was super fast and nice. Highly recommend her! read more

I've been searching for a waxing esthetician closer to my office, and saw the wealth of 5-star reviews for Marta. Needless to say, she surpassed my expectations! I had a full Brazilian, upper lip and eyebrows done in 20 minutes. She was extremely thorough and checked in with me as the waxing session progressed to make sure my pain level was OK. And given how quick she is, it was virtually painless! She used a combination of strip and hard wax, then tweezed for a solid 5 minutes to ensure every last hair was removed. Highly recommend! read more

I've been getting brazilians for about a year now and this was the best/cleanest wax i've ever gotten by far! Marta was so sweet and made it super quick and more enjoyable. I loved how she gave tips and tricks to pre/post wax care. Definitely coming back!! read more

Marta is super nice and the service is great with a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend it to my friends!

Well deserved 5 stars! Marta is so nice, professional and her space is very clean and organized. She is located half a block away from where I work so it's also extremely convenient and I'm so glad she is close by. I'll be a regular here! Thanks Marta! read more

This place was awesome! I really hate bikini waxes because I have a super low pain tolerance (I know I know!) She was super fast and for a "basic" bikini did a lot. Most places only do the sides for the same price. It was super clean too. I'll definitely be back in four weeks for a repeat appointment. read more

Visited Marta for a Brazilian and underarm wax, what an amazing job. She was on time, professional, clean work space. Quick, not painless, but she made the experience as comfortable as it can be. It's been 4 weeks since my visit and I have had no bumps, no irritation as I followed her aftercare instructions, they seemed to work! I'm happy, my skin is happy. I'll definitely be a regular customer! Try to pay and tip in cash. read more

I am VERY particular about who I go to for waxing when it comes to my eyebrows... Not only have I gone to Marta since I moved to Chicago 3 years ago, I followed her from her old place of business @ Nail Bar to her new place City Waxing! Marta is an artist and she does my eyebrows perfectly each time. I have also gone to her for Brazilian waxes, which are very painful and uncomfortable, but she makes them almost pain free and she does the fastest job possible! Honestly I have been in and out of there in 7 minutes flat two different times before vacations. She gets the job done fast so you aren't sitting there in pain and uncomfortable all night & I really appreciate that. Excellent service!!! I will not go anywhere else for eyebrows in Chicago!! read more

Marta is amazing! She makes the process as painless as possible - from start to finish! The space is super clean, efficient and organized. When I was struggling through my session, she acted like a coach trying to get me through the last few tough ones. Definitely recommend! read more

Marta was amazing! She made me feel very comfortable in a potentially very uncomfortable situation. She was gentle but efficient. Highly recommended! read more

Love! Every appointment is easy to make, quick, thorough & low on the pain. I hate bikini waxes and have a terrible pain tolerance. She is easy to talk to which helps cut down the on awkwardness. Never have any problems afterwords with irritation which is a plus, and never a stray hair! Sometimes the wax can be too hot for my liking, but I just say something and fixed- no problem! Love, love, love! Have had some horror stories from other places but Marta is GREAT! read more

Like all the other reviewers, I agree that Marta is amazing! I used to go to Mario Tricoci for my eyebrow waxing for years, and I almost always had negative experiences there. Marta however is very skilled with her waxing, and she never scolds me for using a tweezer too much - she just makes my brows look great every time! I highly recommend having her be your new eyebrow person if you are in the market for one! read more

Marta is amazing! I don't think I have ever had such a thorough and smooth wax in my life! Just to be clear, I got a body wax (arms, legs, underarms). Whenever I shave, and grow out hair for waxing, the wax is never ever smooth. I don't know how Marta did it, but my legs and arms are buttery smooth. She is an absolute professional. I think the trick is that she does small areas at a time, and does a really thorough job. She doesn't miss a single spot. She waxes wherever she sees a single hair. In addition, she is lovely to talk to. It is like talking to your best friend, we talked about everything! Loved her!!! Highly recommend! One tip: Be on time since she has a lot of clients and runs a tight schedule, she would appreciate it! read more

Marta is very sweet! She does an amazing job!!!! I love that she is quick, professional, flexible and friendly. She makes you feel very comfortable and whenever there is ever an issue with scheduling or something comes up she always call or text me ahead time! read more

Marta is great! Very professional, on time, and did a great job. The price is definitely reasonable and I was very happy with the job she did on my eyebrows. I will definitely be coming back! read more
