Vera is a hidden gem. I can't say enough good things about my haircut or my experience with her. She's friendly, efficient, smart, professional and intuitively detail-oriented. I have troublesome, wavy-ish hair, but she steered me toward what would work for me. She hit the mark way better than some expensive cuts that I've had in the past ... for only $35! read more

Yeimi's is UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT! I recently got a balayage by Vera and she is a true artist! An expert in her trade, if you are looking for top quality styling and coloring along with great and friendly client service, look no more! read more

Yeimi's Beauty Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I loved my experience here. I came back specifically to see Vera & I knew she'd do right by me. I love my haircut.

I visited Yeimi's Beauty Salon late August and I had nothing but, a start to finish extraordinary experience. Yeimi's Beauty Salon is under new management. The husband and wife duo are simply amazing. This salon is on Irving Park which is very close off the expressway, next to the train and the bus stops in front. Street parking is available, in addition to a free parking lot a block away. Upon walking in, the salon is warm, welcoming, aesthetically beautiful and extremely clean. My consultation and services were done with the owner, Vera. I had neglected my hair for two years and was in desperate need of reviving my hair after dying my roots with box hair dye and cutting my own spit ends. Needless to say, I am not a professional and my hair was very damaged. Vera and I agreed on cutting off my lengthy dead ends and bringing it back to life with stylish haircut, highlights, full color and a blow out. My hair feels beyond incredible!!!! It feels healthy and the color looks amazing. The salon also offers other services that I plan to utilize in the future. There's nail and waxing services. In addition, to men's hair cuts from experienced barbers. My family will be coming here from now on. The quality of services here is superb while, the customer service is beyond extraordinary. I highly recommend Yeimi's Beauty Salon! read more

I visited the shop here recently with my wife gets her pedicures, and hair done here by Yeimi. She does great work here, my wife is so comfortable with her, and the shop atmosphere. On her second visit to the shop, while I was waiting for my wife, I decided to try a manicure here with their nail tech, Maria. I have been going to my regular tech at another shop, 5 minutes from our home. I thought the lady who was doing my manicures then was really good, except for within the next day or less the nails look horrible. Not to mention several times damage cuticle by tech. Enough about the bad, let's focus on the best here at this shop... Maria is my new go to tech from now on. Oh, by the way it takes about 15-20 more minutes to get to this shop, busy area but so very worth it I would recommend this shop to all no matter what you need. They are friendly, the shop is very clean and safe, and boy what a great experience with Maria here who took her time and did an outstanding job So happy we found this shop. We are close friends with Yeimi... Everyone that does their hair or nails do yourself a great favor and try this shop! read more

Yolanda is seriously the best hair stylist ever! She's been in the neighborhood for over ten years. If you're like myself and don't always change up your look and want to keep it the same, Yolanda is amazing at remembering what you like , but will ask you if you want to change anything just incase. The place is super clean, awesome friendly staff, the prices are pretty good. There's a lot of different services she offers at this salon for both ladies and men. It's definitely a must go to place to look good. read more

Horrible follow-up experience. My nail chipped only after a couple of days, and so I came in. Technician asked if i typed or wash the dishes a lot. I do neither, but still she protested that some activities can lead to chipping. LADY, I'VE HAD TONS OF NO-CHIP BEFORE AND IT DOESNT CHIP AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS EVEN WITH VIGOROUS ACTIVITIES. Not to mention, the chip was on the side near my cuticle, not the ends. UGH -_- The owner offered to have it redone by the same nail technician at no cost. It came out clumpy and blamed my hands moving while inside the light system. I hated the way it looked (pink nails seen in photo), but thought maybe I was being OCD. Nope, my friends laughed at the disaster, rightfully so. I came back again, to complain, this time, they offered to redo it but I'll have to pay. Forget it! I asked for them to take it off. Never came back again. I heard that the owner does great brows, but until I try it out and indeed she does, then I'll change my rating accordingly. Horrible read more

I have been to Yeimi's 3 times now, and waited to give my review because I feel like it takes some time for a stylist to get to know not only our hair but us as clients. Yolanda has knocked it out of the park though. She looks at my pictures, listens and makes sure it's clear that she knows what I am asking for. Yolanda also walks me through how she is styling my hair so I can *try* to replicate when I get home. Now she knows how my hair lays naturally too and cuts it in a way that looks nice when it air dries. Best cut yet.. I feel like this is what I've been asking for from others for years. I also got my eyebrows threaded for the first time. Definitely happy with what I got and how fast they were done considering the mild pain involved. Salon is nice and clean. Masks are worn the whole time. Prices are reasonable and consistent. Looking forward to trying out additional services in the future. read more

Yolanda (sp?) does a great job threading, it is worth the $15 or whatever she charges. She is really friendly, usually the wait is only about 10 minutes, and my brows look awesome when she is done. She doesn't rush and actually looks at your face to determine the brow shape as opposed to just diving in with the thread. Recommended! read more

Overall, i'm happy with the way my eyebrows look after threading. And yes, she was very honest and showed me what was wrong w my eyebrows in the past and what I should do now. But, once I went to my car in natural light, I could see hair she missed both on my lip and on my eyebrow... Not Cool For $24(for eyebrow and lip), I'm sticking with my regular spot. This will be okay if I'm in a bind but not for a regular spot. read more

The search for the perfect eyebrow threader continues... But perhaps not for long! I came here with my oh so wonderful friend, Courtney S. (whom I hope starts writing more reviews :) ). I believe the threader's name is Yolanda and what a sweetheart she is! Despite her demeanor, she is one of the only people (Besides Bebe, of course) that threaded my eyebrows with care. She cleaned them up and then actually used the tweezers to get rid of obnoxious hairs and even them out a bit. She also trimmed them, thank God. Believe it or not, some of my experiences have not included trimming which is just NOT cool. She charges $12 which is more than what you can get at some of these other places but her precision and interest in actually threading your brows to make them look lovely is worth the additional $5-$7. I will come back here until I get another stellar recommendation for threaders, as I still have not found the equivalent of my Bebe. *Sigh* read more

Yolanda is a sweetheart and all her staff is extremely friendly. They recently remodeled the salon, props to her entrepreneurship. I discovered this gem thanks to a BuyWithMe or a DealFind deal, I forget... I went here often when I lived in Chicago, because Yolanda is really fantastic. Her style is a tad different from indian threaders, if that makes any sense - the shape she gives my eyebrows is quite different from the shape I obtain if I go to a salon in Devon or owned by an indian woman. I don't know if this is better or worse - I think it's simply different. In any case, Yolanda always takes her time and will take great care of your eyebrows. She has a knack at threading very gently - virtually no pain when I go to her to get my eyebrows threaded. Never forgets to trim either, which I love. A bit on the expensive side, but still worth the trek to Irving Park (ok I really shouldn't complain, it was about a 20 min on the L from the Loop, and the salon is conveniently located diagonally across the brown line stop). I think they take walk-ins but I'd recommend making an appointment. read more

Got a last minute appointment to get my eyebrows and lip threaded on a Saturday at lunch time. Yolanda was great and very thorough. I'll be back. read more

After searching high and low for an eyebrow threader who knew what they were doing and being very unsuccessful I read some more review and decided to check out Yeimi's because it's a few blocks from work. It's a very cute little salon, I waited about 15 minute (I was early). I told Yolanda who did my eyebrows that I'd had a bad experience with someone who'd completely changed the shape of my eyebrows to two completely seperate looks. She sat me down and got a straight edge to show me where my natural archs should be and then after that she went to work. She first threaded, then tweezed, then trimmed some with scissors. She took about 15-20 minutes and was very careful and made sure no hair was left where it shouldn't be!! She was really great and I'm very happy with my eyebrows!! *I considered very briefly taking a star away only because the pain was so intense...more so then anywhere else I've been. But Yolanda was great and always had a tissue for my tears and makeup remover to remove my running mascara (dramatic right?)! But she was great and told me not to worry most people teared up, so I didn't feel like such a weirdo lol!! read more

I came here for the eyebrow threading..... I saw Yolanda. I love how honest and straightforward she was....see, I messed up my eyebrows from going to a different place b4....so she told me there wasn't much she could do at the moment.....maybe just clean it up a bit?? she recommended to let my brows grow and came back so she could fix them..... so, yes! i will come back once this ugly brows grow and thanks yolanda!! read more

Came here just to get my no chip taken off - Maria was amazing! My nails look so healthy and clean.

I'm a simple guy and I like to get simple haircuts that I can grease up with wax into whatever spikey, haux-hawk style that I'd like. I don't like spending a lot for a haircut, and Yeimi's was a fantastic find for just that. I'm always happy with the results and for $15, who can go wrong?! For that price, I don't even expect a wash, but low-and-behold, they provide that too! I have never had a problem getting in last minute and am always out the door in less than 30 minutes. However, if you like the pampered, spa-style salon, this might not be what you're looking for. All of that said, I definitely recommend this for those of us that like a straight-forward, no frills, haircut. read more

Yolanda is the best. I've been going to her for eyebrow threading exclusively for the past couple of years. She's quick, reasonably-priced, and just a sweet lady. Back when I was going to different people, trying to find someone to go to for threading, she fixed a brow job that my hair stylist at the time screwed up. She's also trimmed my bangs on a couple of occasions and did a marvelous job with that as well. Even though I've moved out of the neighborhood, I still make the trek to see her. Although, with the location right next to the Brown Line station, it's still pretty convenient. And online scheduling? Yes, please. It's not a fancy salon experience, but I just want my brows looking good for a reasonable sum. Yolanda fits the bill completely. read more

Pasquale is TOP NOTCH. I used to live in the area years ago and found him at a different salon. I followed him to Yeimi's, but then moved too far South and decided to try someone new. After several failed attempts at other salons, and coloring my own hair - back to Pasquale. He not only professionally evened out my mismatched colors, he gave me an expert cut as well as a great short cut for my 8 year old daughter who was transitioning from long hair - and nervous! In the time I have been going to Pasquale - both in the past and now - he's accommodated my every crazy color and cut request - by either doing it or explaining why it wouldnt work. I have never left the salon dissatisfied and his prices are VERY competitive. He takes a lot of pride in his work and wont walk away if he isnt satisfied as well. read more

Not happy, and here's why... They squeezed me in for an eyebrow wax because the lady who threads didn't have time. Very nice, there's your one star. The woman began the process by using hand sanitizer (great!) then proceeded to blow her nose (not great). SHE NEVER TOUCHED THE HAND SANITIZER AGAIN and immediately started the waxing. I knew I should have said something, but it all happened so fast. She was sniffling the whole time and I held my breath for as long as I could. Sure enough, now I am sick, and so beyond aggravated. Never, ever again. read more

Yolanda did a really great job, but the threading hurt pretty badly!! It could just be because it was my second time getting it done, or I could be a huge baby. But pain is beauty!! I am going to go back and have her wax them next time to see if I get a similar great result. If not, I will just grin and bear the threading pain! read more

I went in because of an awesome dealfind voucher. I made the appointment for cut/color plus eyebrow and upper lip wax. The entire appointment took about 2 hours but it was worth it. Yolanda performed all the services for me. She's quite professional and very knowledgeable about the products. I think out of all the people I've gone to for my eyebrows, Yolanda is the best. She also fixed my haircut. If you come here, ask for Yolanda - you will not be disappointed. read more

The best manicure I ever got was at Yeimi's. I just had a regular mani done and it was a full two weeks before it even started to chip. It was like I had a no chip for the price of a regular. Mary was very nice and friendly, but took the cue that I didn't want to make small talk the whole time and didn't talk much (exactly how I like it). I would definitely go back here. The quality and service were awesome! read more

I haven't gotten my hair cut at this place, but I have gone here twice for threading. Yolanda is really nice and does a fantastic job shaping my eyebrows for $12. I've never had my eyebrows threaded anywhere else. I used to go to other salons to have my eyebrows waxed, and they don't do nearly as clean of a job while charging a couple more bucks for their services. I would recommend Yolanda for threading. It wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. I'd say it's no more painful than having hot wax on your eyebrows that has potential of pulling off a layer of delicate skin in the process. Threading is a much cleaner process. read more

Bought a BuyWithMe coupon for 4 eyebrow threadings.... got the first one yesterday and my brows look AMAZING. This place is great, fast, friendly. I highly recommend. read more

The eyebrow threading with Yolanda is fantastic, she is fast, yet detailed, organized, does not leave one hair out of place. But, what surprised me, is the manicure service I received from Silvia - much better thant every other salon I ever been to. These ladies were trained in the art of manicure very different from most of the manicurist in the US or from Vietnan/laos/Cambodia - culturally, I like this manicure style much better - I will come back to Silvia and experience the pedicure - it's all about the health and beauty of the feet, not so much about a lotion masage I can get done while watching TV any day of the week - read more

On Saturday I redeemed their Groupon for a haircut, and also got a manicure. Yolanda did a great job on my hair. She is very knowledgable and professional, and really helped me out by fixing a not-so-great haircut from elsewhere--now it will still look good while I grow it out. Nancy also did a great job on my manicure--I hadn't had one in a long time and she fixed up my cuticles nicely without cutting me. I also appreciate that Yeimi's is affordable enough that I can go back without a Groupon (finally!) so I'm hoping to make this my regular place. read more

Great place! My mom comes here all the time to get her hair colored and I've gotten a pedicure here a few times--best pedicure ever! It lasted the entire summer practically!! read more

I've passed this place many a time on my way to the Irving Park brown line and wondered...huh, in a sea of posh salon's this place seemed a bit old fashioned, but I was intrigued none-the-less by their non-pretentiousness. The dim glow of their "spa pedicure" sign drew me in. Went to yelp, saw their amazing reviews, went to their website...saw an online appointment form. Soooooold. Mostly because I loathe those asian nail places that rush you in and out and yell at you and trying to even make a phone appointment is irritating and waiting in a sea of anxious women waiting for their weekly mani is tedious. Long story short. Mary the manicurist is amazing. They only have one table and two pedi stations, so they are definitively not rushing you in and out because they are a full service salon. She takes her time, is meticulous with cuticles and nearly a week later my nails are practically still perfect...and I didn't even get a no-ship, AND it was only $15...the website said $20. Not a huge selection of polish, I'd probably bring my own next time. There seemed to be a lot of regulars there getting multiple things done...cuts, colors, and nails, everyone seemed super happy and chatty with each other. One woman even came up to me and was like "I got my nails done 2 weeks ago and they are still perfect....seeee!" A few weeks later got a pedicure, they were meticulous with my toes and my callousy runners feet. You'll definitely be the only nail appointment if you go, so you get all the attention and none of the rush. Definitely looking forward to my next visit, loved the chill, yet professional vibe and the service! read more

Yolanda knows how to work with hair! She does beautiful color and cuts and is very skillful and knowledgable about her craft. The salon itself is clean, simple and elegant and the work is reasonably priced. read more

Yolanda is an expert threader! My brows never fail to look great after seeing her! She is super friendly and Yeimi's location is very convenient right off the Irving Park Brown Line. read more

Shop is clean and neat. Maria did a great job on my Mani Pedi. This was my first visit.... And I will be Back!!!!~

This is the salon I've entrusted my hair, nails and eyebrow waxing for years. Yolanda has a magic fo make my hair look natural and in style. She explains to me carefully and in a way that I understand the process that she will do and I always leave very satisfied. Sylvia, most of the time washes and blow dries my hair. She has the magic to release the tension i feel in my head and neck through the careful washing and blow drying and most of the time her work in my hair lasts 5-7 days. Maria most of the time handles my manicure and pedicure.. Her careful and detailed cleanup of my nails has helped my nails become stronger and healthier. During my last manicure she tried a new product known as Shellac. With the exception of my natural nail growth and extremely minimal tip wear, for the first time ever my nail polished stayed intact and shiny for 14 days. Shellac paints on like polish - base coat, color coat, top coat - and is cured in an UV light so there is zero dry time. Pascual is always greeting me with a friendly hello and always makes me smile. I noticed that he takes time with his clients to explain the work he is going to do with them and they always leave satisfied and keep coming back.. He makes sure that I'm comfortable and that I receive my services within a reasonable amount of time. read more

Yeimi's isn't a fancy salon, but Maria gets the job done when it comes to manis/pedis. She's a perfectionist and does a fantastic job. My no-chip manis and pedis easily last me 2 - 3 weeks with no chips. Plus, they always have coupons on their website and if you check in on Yelp, you receive a discount on your service. read more

This place is great for threading. Yeimi's staff is diligent. Ouch, that ish hurts!

I was looking for a place to get my eyebrows threaded. I did a quick search on Yelp and stumbled upon Yeimi's Salon. I got there at 5 and the lady at the front desk told me to wait 10 minutes which was fine. In about 7 minutes I was greeted by Yolanda. She was really friendly and looked at my brows for a couple minutes and then told me to sit back. I have never had anyone take so much time to do my brows. I usually get them waxed and have only had them threaded a handful of times but had always liked the outcome better. Well, Yolanda took a good 25 minutes to do my brows! She really took her time and explained to me at the end what happened. My hair is really fine and well last time I had them waxed, I ended up with a bald spot and the hair hasn't full grown back. She did manage to get me a nice arch which I never had before. She told me to not touch my brows for 3 weeks, come back and she'd work on them some more and probably after another session or 2, I should have nice, full brows with an arch. She even took the time to tell me how to fill my brows in to make them look more natural in the mean time. I'm never going to have anyone else touch my brows again. I mentioned that I found her on yelp and I got a discount! Normal Charge I believe is $12. I'm so glad I found Yolanda on Yelp! read more

wonderful service and beautifully shaped brows done by yolanda! she takes her time and does a great job!

I learned about Yeimi's after I bought a voucher for a haircut, highlight or color, and style from dealfind.com. I went in today originally with the intention of getting highlights to fill in my darkened roots that were exposed and looking as dangerous as ever thanks to my bleach and tone. Anyway, the stylist I had ( I forgot her name) offered me many different solutions to my killer roots problem. She was very honest and wasn't trying to shake me down. After much internal debating, I decided to throw in the towel and revert back to my brunette self. The color came out a little bit darker than I anticipated but it looked nice. Because of the bleach and tone, previous highlights and flat iron addiction I was forced to come to terms with my dead ends. My stylist did a great job at maintaining the length while getting rid of the fried hair. I am super pleased with both the color and cut and will more than likely be back after I have destroyed my hair again. read more

Yolanda and her team of professionals have been taking good care of me for 10 years. I have watched her grow her business and bring in new innovations to her beauty business that will take care of all her customers needs and keep them up to date. She researches and recieves training to ensure the best quality service. She has kept me young looking and happy with my hair. When does that ever happen? Thanks Yolanda ..Yeimi's Beauty salon. read more

My first time ever having my eyebrows done (yes at age 54) and I found Yolanda through YELP. I am so happy with them that I will definitely be back in the recommended 3 weeks. Did it hurt, I won't lie, it did, but it was well worth it. I recently started wearing contacts which is why I noticed my brows and decided to get them shaped. Not only did she take the time to explain everything she was going to do BUT afterwards she spent a good 10 minutes showing me how to get the same look. My son even noticed that there was something different about me, I didn't tell him it was my brows!! read more
