Waxing near Lake Forest

“Mason River Hair Studio is a treasure. The setting is lovely, relaxing, and convenient. Kimberly is a wizard at her craft and establishes just the right tempo to make your visit feel like you have been transported. You will be thrilled with the results.“

“Magdalena’s European Spa is the only place I will go for treatments. It is welcoming and friendly. Everyone explains, honestly, the best options for me. I’ve never felt pressured to do more or buy more. I’ve always been happy with my results and left feeling like I just spent time with good friends.

Lucy is beyond everything. Aside from being kind, caring and funny, she is a true artist. She’s been tinting my brows for a while, just beautifully. Then, I got a facial from her. It was then when I realized the depth of her talent. For me, it was an hour of bliss. Authentic passion and love for her craft are evident on the receiving end. I rarely treat myself to spa treatments. I will change that now. Lucy will be forever the best for me.“

“Coming to Gerda, I was a little newer to the facial world & I never really thought getting facials would be any different than what I already did at home. But Gerda is great at what she does & she definitely changed my opinion. Every time I’m there, my skin is always so smooth & glowing for weeks after I’m there. I always feel so refreshed! She’s so knowledgeable & she is so good at giving tips & tricks & recommending stuff that is suitable for your specific skin type & problem areas & it always actually works! I’m kinda picky & have sensitive skin but I trust Gerda 100% with my face & those little mini massages she gives, 10/10!“

“Everyone is friendly and courteous. I had my neck waxed by Tiffany. (Trying to avoid shaving) She explained the procedure and the results I could expect.She is very easy to talk to and made me feel at ease. I will see her regularly.“

“Very happy. Bridgette thoroughly explained everything she was doing and remained patient and upbeat as I took important calls. The cut turned out well and I’m grateful—all set for my wedding next week.“

“The first time experience from beginning to end was high quality, professional and pleasant including booking online and all the communication up until the appointment. The waiting room is a classy, relaxing, spa like aesthetic with a modern decor. There’s chill music playing, calm lighting, a drink frig, and sink for washing hands. I checked in with a QR code while waiting. A few minutes later I was kindly greeted and walked into the office area. I was impressed by the cordial and courteous service. I was easily able to lay back and relax. The nose and ear hair removal procedure was quick and painless but I was also impressed by how organized, clean and professional the office looked. I left feeling like I could easily be coming back here and recommend my friends and family. This is a fairly new company but I can see this having franchise potential.“

“Aruna knocks it out of the park every single time. I love her feedback and the tweaks she always suggests to help me look and feel my best. Bonus: she has the best laugh!“

“Danae is so gentle she has made my waxing experience so wonderful . I highly recommend European Wax to everyone.“

“Fantastic! An awesome hair color and cut! After searching for a stylist because our hair stylist we had been going to for years moved out of state we finally found one. Margaret was very kind and took her time to give me a very flattering cut. I have very fine aging hair and she made it look like I had volume. The cut was spot on. Thank you again! Also great boutique and a fun visit.“

“Bina did a lovely job threading and tinting my brows. On top of that, she’s a very sweet lady. I have an eyebrow piercing and she kept asking if I was ok (pain-wise) and she even tried helping me put it back in (bc I was struggling lol).“

“Heather is the BEST!!! 10/10 recommend if you are looking for the perfect wax. Always lasts me so long. Heather’s studio is such a vibe and so is she. Could not recommend visiting her more.“

“love how friendly everyone is! I’ve seen both Yessenia and Dez and they are both great! the process is also very quick and it’s super easy get an appointment“

“I cannot recommend this place enough! Maya is THEE best stylist I have ever seen. She is communicative, thoughtful, hilarious, and absolutely determined to make sure you leave with hair you adore and nothing less. She genuinely cares about your hair, and will
help you get the most bang for your buck with treatments, color, products, etc. Not to mention the atmosphere of the entire salon is very fun, welcoming, and friendly. I always look forward to an appointment with Maya and I will recommend her and this salon to anyone who will listen!“

“Klaudia was absolutely AMAZING!! She cured my pain and fixed the issues in my back and shoulders. Hands down the best care! She knows the right steps to fix the issue and find the source of the pain. I am so grateful for Klaudia and her healing! Thank you so much!!“

“Great place for sugaring! Nataliia was super nice and made me feel very comfortable the whole time. Also definitely better value to come to her vs. other bigger chains that do waxing or sugaring.“

“Jéla was amazing and her aura is the sweetest ya hear me, she’s very gentle when waxing and you could literally fall asleep on the table it’s so relaxing in there. If you’re looking for a great glow after waxing she is the one to go to, my face is so smooth and she didn’t miss a hair ya hear me. Thank you Jéla, I can’t wait to come back. ???✨ ?“

“Just had my first chemical peel/outer body experience with Lavelle Velez! This woman is master of her holistic craft and an absolutely fabulous human being. The world needs more Lavelle's. Great recommendation Carla Figueroa de Ghanem!! Going back next month!“

“I love coming to Milena for facials. As someone who struggles with very sensitive skin, I really appreciate her gentle and holistic approach. I’ve been to multiple estheticians in the area, and I can confidently say that not only is she the most educated on the work she does, she’s also the most caring for her clients. I always leave glowing and 100% recommend for anyone interested!“

“Danny took great care of me and made sure to both understand what I wanted and to confirm that the results were what I hoped for. Scheduling was easy, the staff are SO friendly, and my hair looks great. The salon is a cool space as well with lots of natural light and a clean aesthetic.“

“Meghavi’s work on my eyebrows is always PERFECTION! I have been going to her for a year now for eyebrow threading and I don’t mind driving 30 minutes to get my brows done by her! I was just passing by the area a year ago and I was looking for someone to do eyebrow threading. I read reviews of her (which are ALL excellent!) and sent her a message here in google maps. She replied within seconds and was able to accommodate me in her busy schedule. I LOVE how she shaped my brows and I knew from that moment that I found the best person to do my brows. Not only is her work the BEST but she is very responsive and accommodating when it comes to scheduling. Overall, Meghavi is THE BEST and highly recommended!“

“I had an amazing facial yesterday! My face still feels clean and amazing. It is a relaxing environment and Natalia is so knowledgeable and gentle and kind. Highly recommend! ?“

“I absolutely loved my reading with Miscellaneous Magic! The specificity and clarity in which she could tell me very real things currently going on in my life, and for the future, were absolutely astounding. I will be returning, for sure!!I've already recommended to a few others, one of whom went to her immediately - and she is also very happy with her reading. :)“

“You have to schedule an appointment with Jessica! It was my first eyebrow lamination service, but let me tell you!!! Not only did she make the experience amazing, but when you she gave me the mirror to look at my brows.......SNATCHED, DEFINED, AND BEAUTIFULLY done. She explained the whole process and gave me the best tips on the aftercare. Best customer service ever!!! Make sure you get an appointment, and then don't forget to book again ? for your touch-up!!!!!!

Specialties: Jessica is definitely Ulta's specialist. You will find her at the Benefit booth right as you walk in!“

“So glad I found Mara Max. Besides always leaving the shop with "perfect hair" you feel like you made a new friend. She cares about each of her clients. She has a sign that reads...I'M A BEAUTICIAN NOT A MAGICIAN. She does magic with my hair.“

“Joan Barry hair designers is the most beautiful place in town... The service the cleanliness fee overall atmosphere is wonderful but above all it really is Joan she just does such a magnificent job. I am there at least a couple of times a month and every time my style is perfect and talk about HAIRCUTS. Well those are just beyond belief. They last for such a long time and I am so, happy that I found her and in case I forgot to mention the color is so beautiful that everybody comments on it and wants to know where do I go for my color? Well, of course the same shop as I get all my other services axing Nails everything that you want is there“

“Marisol has been doing my lash extensions for the last 6 months or so- she is always right on time, responds to texts within minutes, and has been more than willing to add additional volume in between fills should anything feel off. I switched from lashes to a lash perm and I am thrilled with the results. She takes the time and consideration to recommend what she thinks her clients need based on their individual lashes and even if it’s a lesser service, she will suggest what is right! She is a delight and I’ll continue to see her for years to come!“

“Cody James is the best! I moved away from Chicago… and will still fly in to get my hair done by him and nobody else! 10/10 recommend.“
