I had to write a review for this place because my only concern before going was how few reviews there were...and I definitely give it 5 stars. As other people have said, this is not a glamorous experience necessarily, the place is pretty bare and there's no mood music or chic decor. However, in about 5 minutes Sam made my eyebrows look better than they normally do when I get them threaded for 3 times the price. You get excellent looking brows super quick for $5. Nothing to complain about there.

Found this place one day while walking down the street. My eyebrows needed some cleaning up, so I thought I'd try a local establishment rather than a chi-chi brow bar. The owner threaded my brows quickly and efficiently, giving me a great look. The cost? $5 Yep, that was it. I tipped him $2 because I was embarrassed to give him less. I've been back since, and got the same great service. Now I am going to warn you: This is Irving Park, not Lincoln Park. The shop is bare bones and not particularly feminine in its vibe. But if you can overlook these defects, you can save a lot of money by getting your brows done here.

No one threads eyebrows more beautifully and cleanly than Sam. I think this is what it must be to go to barber shops for some. He is always interested in what's up with you and has wonderful stories and insights to share as he makes you look lovely...or at least hairless.
