I've been to this location a couple times now and have always been happy with the results. I've made appointments as well as walked in, and every lady there is so wonderful, making the pain as minimal as possible. Customer for life. read more

I've gone twice to get my brows done and got a couple of the $5 treatments the offer and it was so nice! Helen did them and I walked out looking immaculate both times. I schedule my next appointment on the way out every time read more

I've been a client for 6 years utilizing a multitude of services at WTC on a regular cadence. I missed an appointment last week due to my son being in a car accident (you can no longer cancel in the app and have to call). I received a bill for half of my service despite the fact that I've not missed a single appointment in 6 years! Oftentimes the cerologists run late, or they cancel on me. I called to cancel an upcoming appointment today and raised my concerns and was hung up on! I am a polite, reasonable person and was simply voicing my point of view. Unprofessional, and I won't be back. I hope the $12 was worth it, I spend around $1k per year at WTC. The cerologist I saw, Emily, was wonderful and sweet, but the management and front desk staff have left me feeling the need the cancel this business. Go see Sasha at Mario TRICOCI -they use soft wax, so much better! read more

I've been to this location twice in the last few months and I leave happy every time. I get an eyebrow wax and tint and each time we talk about the color I am aiming for and what I want done with my brows. The staff is friendly and the place is kept clean. read more

Traveled out to Oak Brook from the city to run an errand. Decided I wanted to squeeze in a brow wax and tint while out in the suburbs and saw great reviews for this place, so I stopped in. So glad I was able to do a walk-in on a Friday afternoon! I haven't had an eyebrow wax in about 3 years and in the past it has sometimes resulted in small cuts/burns, so I was a little nervous. But Jamie did a great job, the wax didn't hurt at all and she was mindful to not take off too much, since I don't have much to work with! She also only went one shade darker with the tint, so it didn't feel too dramatic for me, and I love it. Highly recommend!! read more

Waxing The City - Waxing Near Me - Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois

Confessions of a waxing addict......... This place is a breath of fresh air! I stumbled across the salon a month back when in search for a new salon offering wax services in the Oakbrook area. Though most of the reviews were written by others who have less than 50 written reviews combined, I was willing to roll the dice given Waxing the City's "50% off your first service" promotion. And now I'm hooked. Admittedly, my initial encounter was slightly discouraging but it has been smooth sailing ever since. The waxing services are similar to that of waxing salons of this caliber and price point, but its location, decor and staff members separate this place from its competitors. My cerologist Justyna did a fabulous job! She is extremely attentive, knowledgeable and genuine. During my first visit, she offered several post care tips and complimentary water during the service. Loved her so much that I booked my next appointment before leaving and received 10% off my next appointment. The salon uses hard wax for facial and bikini waxing. This is perfect for newbies and is less painful than soft wax and tape without question. The private waxing rooms are neat, nicely decorated, spacious and clean. Body waxing services are typically 45 minutes but can take less. Luckily for me, visits are usually 25-30 minutes. Suppose waxing for more 18 years or old age may have resulted in less hair growth. While it seems a bit odd, conversations about world news, current events and travel helps time fly by as well. I have also tried the brow tinting and lash tinting services. In my experience, the results on dark hair is less rewarding but may be ideal for those with light if not invisible brows or lashes. Suggestions for new clients: - phone in to book your appointment - arrive five to ten minutes early to complete the questionnaire and intake form. You are asked to complete a waiver during each visit. - bring cash; the gratuity envelopes are in a bowl at the receptionist desk. ....no cash? No problem. You can pay gratuity on a card too. read more

Waxing The City - My cerologist Justyna did a great job. Definitely recommend her. - Waxing Near Me - Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois

Fantastic, friendly staff. I've been coming here monthly for the past 4-5 months for a full chest/stomach wax. The experience has always been delightful. My technician is always knowledgeable when it comes to my pre and post waxing treatments too. Highly recommend this place. read more

I went in for my very first Brazilian wax and Vanessa was amazing. I felt very comfortable and she provided tons of information and answered all of my questions. She also did an eyebrow tint that came out awesome. I already have my next appointment booked. She recommended the sugar scrub that they sell to exfoliate my skin a few times per week and she was spot on. After I used it my skin felt so fresh and renewed. Everything is clean and sanitized in the rooms and I highly recommend them! read more

Um, ok, why haven't I reviewed this place? I first came to Waxing the City when Yelp had an event there. Then I started getting my eyebrows waxed here a few years ago and I never looked back. Long gone are the days of getting my eyebrows threaded and basically leaving crying, or hard wax ripping my skin off every time. These ladies take their time and know what they are doing. I like going to Gabi, Justina or Cori, I've never had a bad experience with either of them. I've recommended this place to a few of my friends and none have complained. read more

Jillian is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! I recently started going for Brazilian waxes and she makes me feel so comfortable. She's beyond kind, professional and does a fantastic job!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU JILLIAN!!!! Everything at Waxing the City is clean, modern and inviting!!! HIGHLY recommend!!! read more

Excellent service. On time . Nice environment. Areas are super clean. Flexible schedule.

Wax was thorough and great price for a first visit! Kimmy was exceptional- very warm and welcoming as well as ensured that I got my money's worth! Will definitely be returning! read more

Lily did a great job waxing and doing henna tint on my brows. Would definitely recommend.

How It Turned Out:.. The Superior Supervisor Called and professionally addressed my dismay. He did explain the late time frame is 7mins but he understood the rain slowed the traffic & I've been a repeat client. He expressed they do appreciate their return clients & hopefully this situation wouldn't stop them from offering great service again. I appreciate good follow up, and I'm glad it was addressed as a individual situation & not as a stern standing. This is called good customer service & I appreciate that. I will be returning and won't let this one incident break stop me be a client. VS- How IT STARTED:.. I had been a customer for 2yrs. I was 9mins behind literally Adriana charged me . When I walked in, Adriana informed me I couldn't get the service I booked, and if I didn't accept any other service at that moment I would be charged a same day cancellation, even though I said just reschedule to the next available. THANKS. read more

I love places that actually want me to come back! Beauty spots in the area are definitely a dime a dozen and it's nice when a place takes the extra steps to make it worthwhile to return. This location is pretty new, the digs are very clean and inviting. Of course being the savvy yelper--50% off your first service rocks as well! Loren was my cerologist and she was very thorough. Hooray for helping out my unibrow situation and making sure I have something to exfoliate my newly groomed hoohah! I love goody bags and goody bags that help my skin are even better. If you book your next appointment before leaving you receive 10% off, refer any friends to also get their 50% off first service--if they mention your name as a referral, you get a $5 credit on your account. Follow them on Facebook and get on their email list because they have a lot of specials and events throughout the month. I'm usually cash poor--I just don't feel the need to carry cash around so love that I can leave a tip on my card. read more

Absolutely love this place. Just got my lash lift and eyebrow wax and tint with AnMarie and I highly recommend going to see her. Obsessed with how my lashes turned out! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I feel very lucky that I found it. I always have a good experience every time I go. Gabi is the best! She is a professional and always does a great job. Everyone is friendly. Cleanliness is important and they all work hard to maintain a clean work environment. I was new to waxing when I started and they were so helpful. Again, Gabi is awesome! read more

I am really pleased with the service and care I received at Waxing in the City. I was unfortunately running late for my appointment and they did their best to accommodate me the best they could instead of having to come back another day. Cori made me feel very comfortable during my Brazilian and I would definitely recommend booking with her. I will be scheduling future appointments here. read more

I've been coming here for years now. Was seeing the same person the whole time because my experience was fantastic! I was hesitant on seeing anyone else since my girl no longer works there. But it was finally time to book again. I had my appointment with Morgan and she is fantastic! I will definitely be back to see her. Very professional! And she made me feel comfortable as I was a bit nervous seeing someone else. Highly recommend booking with her. read more

Obsessed with this place! Started going to Kimmie and will never go anywhere else. Quality work -- can't recommend it enough.

I've been coming for about 1.5 years now, and I can honestly say, I've never had anything less than a 5 star experience here. Semelia is a brow god and I completely trust her, and Kim is such an amazing, warm, and genuine professional at the helm of this operation! They always have your best interests at heart and listen to you-- like the time I started using retin-a on the lower half of my face and we decided to wait to wax because of the thinness of my skin, or like when they switched lash dye products and realized I'd be way too sensitive for it-- both of these technically cost them business but they didn't want to cause me discomfort. In two years I have gone to one other highly reviewed place in Chicago and it doesn't even hold a candle to WTC. The cleanliness, professionalism, warmth keeps me loyal and coming back. You women are amazing! read more

Best waxing ever. First one ever, but best one ever. Reason one: the ladies at the front were lovely, welcoming, and accommodating. Reason two: Justyna was phenomenal. I'm a guy who went into this with no idea what to expect and she made the whole experience exceptional. First time dudes, or anyone really, if you wanna dip your toes in the wax and try it out for the first time, this is the place to do it. Also, they treat their first timers like royalty with all the perks and I'm pretty sure it doesn't stop when you keep coming back, which is exactly what I'll be doing. read more

This was my first time here .. I made an impose decision and said to myself let me get my eyebrows done .. so I made an appointment and went in . I showed the lady a pic of what I wanted and she said very quickly ok.. I also pointed out some flaws about my eyebrow just so she would be aware she said ok... I should have known this was going to end badly when she said I asked her did she put the tint on first before waxing and she said yes .... After it was done she showed me my brow and I know that is not the brow I showed her and she said if you wanted something like that we should have used henna .. I'm done this place is the worse place every. Take the silence as a run factor . Oh at the end I was asked was I satisfied and I said no .... Silence again .. child not to myself go to a professional for something like this .. Now I'm going to have to wait and pay for someone to fix it . I'm so mad. read more

Took my daughter here to have her lip waxed. She is a tween so it was her first wax. She had Kate, who was amazing. Kate was gentle and explained everything she was doing. Very little pain with their wax. Not surprised that they would use great products with their level of professionalism. It is very clean. The rooms are private. Great referral program. Would definitely go back. read more

Love this place. My eyebrows have never looked better. Loren does a great job of doing my brows. Recently, I started dyeing my lashes and brows. LOVE IT. read more

Just one name, other than the one on the door, her name is Sarah! She was a total professional that was expert at her job. But, more about this place... Clean, tidy, professional and friendly and oh, they use hard wax. This is a complete surprise at how much better this is especially for your delicate bits! I have gone to the same salon for over 6 years and wouldn't dream of changing because I thought I found the best for brazilian waxing, then I was told about this place and made the decision to try it. And found something better! All they do here is wax, so not surprisingly they are excellent at it. No facials, no massages, just wax. It was a game changer and these reviews are not hype. Try hard wax and try this place! 50% discount your first visit and just so worth it. read more

I have found my new favorite waxing place. Prices are so affordable. I highly recommend Elizabeth! Super fast and a painless Brazilian! She really pays attention to detail. read more

They were awful. Most painful experience of my life. I will never go to another waxing the city ever again. the waxologist needs more training. TERRIBLE read more

I found Waxing The City on Groupon about a year ago and decided to try it out. I was a little apprehensive as I had never been waxed before. I take the plunge and sign up for the Brazilian and under-arm service, needless to say, waxing is NOT for everyone... but my first time AND second time was not so great, yet I refused to be a quitter since the new growth period seemed shorter. I figured I'd go back since now I know what to expect and if I got 3 strikes I would be done. Kim set me up with Semelia and we were a PERFECT match! I briefed her on my experiences and she assured me that this time would me different and indeed it was. She knows how to deal with your anxieties, calms you down and before you know it you're all done. Semelia is the ONLY person I will see but I'm sure the other girls are great but I am a person who likes consistency. Thanks Semelia.... see you soon :). read more

Would recommend to everyone! It was my first time here and Rosa did an AMAZING job. I got a Brazilian and eyebrows done and it was completely painless and she was so great to be waxed by. If you're looking for a new place to get a wax done, go here and request Rosa! read more

Wonderful facility, super clean and very friendly atmosphere!!! Sarah was so professional and precise! For sure will be back!!! First visit was 50% off and I left with a little gift! Who knew waxing could be so much fun. read more

If you are looking for a new place to wax or are trying waxing for the first time, there is no better place to go. Waxing the City far outshines any other local salon or spa I've received a wax at. The facility is spotless, well lit and fashionable. You won't feel sketchy walking in to your room like you do at a nail salon. Kim, the owner, has greeted me by name every time I have come in. I really enjoy that level of service. I've been coming here for a few months and have tried several services, all from serologist Semelia Dent. Semelia is hands down the best and most professional serologist I have ever worked with. I've had several eyebrow waxes and a full Brazilian from her. Prior to finding Waxing the City, I was getting my brows done at Benefit Brow counter. I wasn't comfortable getting my brows done in the open and I searched Yelp until I found this place. I took a leap of faith and I am SO HAPPY I did. The wax they use is "hard wax" so after applying, they pull the wax off without any paper or cloth. It is so painless compared to other waxes I've had. Semelia takes the time to cover up any redness at the end and fill in my brows. I always leave looking better than I came in. (Shout out to you girl, I wish you could do my brows for me everyday!) As far as getting a brazilian, my experience here was a 10/10. Going in for the first time was daunting and I did not know what to expect. Semelia made the whole experience not awkward - no small feat- and the pain was very manageable. I was even given a free gift bag at the end with exfoliating glove! Perhaps the best part of trying this place is 50% off your first service. But don't kid yourself, you'll be back. read more

WOW! I cant believe the countless times ive walked past this place on my way to Pearle Vision without noticing it. I found my new spot for waxing (: I came in and got an eyebrow wax with Katie. It had been about 5 months since I had my eyebrows done so they were really out of shape. I went into a room, it looked very modern and clean, which was comforting. I sat down and told her exactly what I wanted. She was so friendly and knowledgeable and explained the waxing process to me. I then lied down, she carefully waxed my brows and tweezed the little hairs that were too fine to be waxed. It was very painless and I loved the attention to detail that was given to my brows. I will definitely be returning and will be seeing Katie again!! read more

I love waxing in the city! Me and my girlfriend just started going here, but the customer service, staff and quality are all top notch! Everybody is super cool there and make you feel comfortable read more

I already had my go to spot in the area but had to try this place out because of all the rave reviews. I can officially say- the hype is real my friends. From the moment I walked in and met Kim, I was totally impressed. Not only is the space beautiful, modern, and clean, but Kim really takes the time to explain every thing to you... There are things I learned that I never even knew before and I've been waxing for years! My first experience with hard wax was terrible so I was hesitant when I heard they use hard wax. This hard wax though did not hurt at all. Okay fine from a scale from 1 to 10, pain level was 0.5 ! It definitely was the most painless brazilian I have ever had. You get a cute gift bag, 50% off the visit (YAS) and you get 10% for pre-booking your next appt... Which is such a great perk that other places in the area (that are good) do not offer. Great incentive to come back, needless to say I'm already pre-booked ! Thank you Kim and thank you Semilia for an awesome experience... will see you in a few weeks! read more

I won the Leap Year $29 wax service online via Facebook. I was skeptical that I would win, but when I received the phone call on March 2nd I was so excited. I was booked with Semelia for my Brazilian and had consistent contact with someone from WTC to check to confirm my appointment either via phone call, SMS and email which is good because I always seem to forget. It was the BEST experience I have had in a long time. She explained the process, even though I have had wax services before, and told me that this will not be a quick in and out which is what I was fine with and hoping for. I received a free "I my Muff" wipe and a goody bag! What more could I ask for? Never did they try to push a sale for their products like other places down the street do, and I appreciate that. If I want it, I will ask for it. Thank you WTC, Kim and Semelia! read more

So let me tell ya, I WAS a first time waxer! And my motto is "go big or go home"... So what do I decide to do as a first time waxer?... A Brazilian! Semelia was my cerologist! She was so great and personable! I wasn't focused on what was happening down there and I was actually enjoying my conversation with her! Now, as a first time waxer yes... It did hurt a little. But, its so worth it! The boyfriend loves it, I love the low maintenance, and haha let's be real.. I feel like a model down there haha! So if you're looking for a great first experience and an ice breaker to waxing definitely check out Waxing The City in Oakbrook Terrace! Also, the owner is a blast! She's fun and accomodating! Welcome to town Oakbrook Terrace Waxing the City! read more

Nice shop. I had a full face wax. That was fine. I wasn't crazy about my brows and had to go to my standard shop to get them fixed. I gave her two trys to correct them, but they were just too boxy for me. She was able to draw them nicely, but the next day I was sc***ed bc I don't know how to draw brows. I will return here, but not for brows. Staff is great. read more

Ok. I haven't even left the parking lot of this place and I needed to stop to write a glowing review. This place is awesome. The fabulous Yelp reviews got me in the door so I'm writing my own to continue to pay it forward. I've been in the burbs for about a year and as most ladies out there can attest, getting a bikini wax is as personal as heading to the gyno. So switching who you go to for a wax is a big deal. But I am thrilled that I made the decision to try this place. Semelia was my gal who did the wax, and she was fantastic. The overall service was way better than my many previous experiences at Tricoci. Beyond the service, the location is beautiful. It's brand new. It's incredibly clean and sanitary. The front desk reception staff was personable, sweet and so well-informed about all their products too. I even left with a goodie bag of fun stuff for being a first-time customer. I highly recommend this place. Nice to go somewhere that specializes in one thing and one thing only and does it well. Next appointment is already booked. read more

Today is the day my life is forever changed. I've fallen in love with a Waxing studio. There have been times I have left my waxing service swearing I would never attempt another Brazilian in my life. Thankfully I've found Waxing the City which has changed my perspective from here on out. First things first, the studio was one of the cleanest I've ever been in. Kim greeted me as soon as I walked in and welcomed me to the studio with a friendly smile. She was kind enough to give me a quick tour of the space so I was familiar with the waxing room and restrooms. Secondly, and most importantly, my waxing services. I went in for a brow, lip and Brazilian. The amazing thing about Waxing the City is that they use a hard wax. If you've never had a hard wax (I hadn't either) then you may not understand why my life has changed. The service in itself was so easy I nearly fell asleep. The Brazilian was so painless, I will never fear getting another again. Best part is that their wax is designed for sensitive skin, which is perfect for my sensitive face. Finally, my cerologist, Semelia was just amazing. She was so personable, but most importantly knew what she was doing and did a fabulous job. If I haven't said enough, the cake topper was my 50% discount for being a first time customer. What an amazing end to an amazing experience. I think it goes to say that I would highly recommend waxing the city!! read more
