Ideal Salon

Don’t judge a book by its cover! While this place may not be fancy to look at, they do an incredible job and their prices are great! They have weekly specials shown on their Facebook page too — but even without them, their pricing is competitive.
I came here my first time to get a Brazilian that I purchased on Groupon. My wax service with Priyanka was excellent! She was very precise, very gentle, very polite, and had great customer service skills. I’ll absolutely go back!
And the icing on the cake? Metered parking directly in front of the shop — with spots actually available!

Absolutely Amazing!!!
I truly enjoy going here. The services are affordable and the staff is great! Very friendly and polite. Sony is wonderful! She is very patient and makes your experience worthwhile! I’ve been a customer for a year and I’ve enjoyed it tremendously!

I love this place. I have going here for about 6 months now and I trust no one else with my eyebrows. They are very friendly and helpful and actually listen when you request a specific type of brow. I have also done waxing here and it is quick and as painless as waxing can be. I used to live by here and after moving further north I still make the trip. Everything is better when your eyebrows are together.

Fazila was nice n I got the mini facial done it was good but was not satisfied with the manicure and upperlips… it left a mark in my upperlips n it went away after 2 weeks

This is one of the best places to go for threading, believe me I’ve tried a ton! My eyebrows lasted over two weeks with very little upkeep! Also, you can’t beat $ 5!

Priyanka threaded my eyebrows and did an amazing job! She was so sweet and thorough and did it quickly! I highly recommend everyone to go to her. I’ve received so many compliments on the shape of my eyebrows. I will definitely be a regular customer here.

This salon is FANTASTIC! Hidden Gem.
Easy to get to. Service is phenomenal! and a very reasonable price range!

I always come in here to get my eyebrows threaded and I’m never disappointed! They are accommodating, friendly, and provide great service. And I never having to wait long!

Got my eye brows threaded and a bikini wax. Both are quite painful, but Priyanka was as calming and quick as could be. Really happy with the service I got when using a groupon and will definitely be back on my own.

I’ve been coming here for roughly six months to get my brows waxed/​threaded. I’m never disappointed in the service I receive, the ladies are always friendly, and do an amazing job!

I am addicted to this place, been coming here for over a year now, these lovely women always do a professional, perfect, and on-​point job with my brows, and they’re fast too!. I honestly don’t trust anywhere else. Kiran has done my brows and they were amaazing! Love this place !

I’ve got bushy eyebrows. These ladies handle them.
I usually «walk-​in» for a threading on Monday evenings without a wait. Specifically Monday for the $ 5 threading special — best deal in town. For guys who have never had this done, it’s shockingly painful, but they’re as gentle as possible here. After completing my threading and emasculating me (squirming in the chair, holding my breathe, tears running down my cheeks, etc.) I leave looking good.

Ok — I got a groupon for a facial and if you are looking for a DEAL then IDEAL is a no frills spot for a wonderful hour long facial– Ritu was awesome– the facial renewed my dry Chicago winter visage –she knew all the pressure points and gave a lovely shoulder and beck massage to top it off. Great experience– but if you are looking for a luxury spa experience go somewhere else– myself, I’ll save my money, close my eyes… and enjoy what Ideal Salon serves up.

I’ve been getting my eyebrows waxed her for about a year now and I love it! I am not sure if the women who have touched my brows but there have been at least 3 that have touched my eyebrows and they’ve all done a great job. Prices are really reasonable and the salon is very clean. It also helps that the staff is super friendly!!!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I get Brazilians, Brow and Lip Waxing done. By far the least painful and most effective Brazilian i have ever experienced (even the little hairs are gone!), and very quick! Kiran is my go to girl. And my face has never looked better! Definitely worth the trek to Lakeview. A great price for quality service!

I got my Brazilian on Feb 1^st and got hard and soft wax. The lady was very nice but didn’t speak that much English but still very good at her job. And very gentle told me step by step what she was doing. It’s April 7^th and it bearly got any hair still. I’ll Def bee going back. Any woman in the Northside looking for a new friend in open to meet new people. Just shoot me a message.

I have been coming to this salon for over a year, and I have left happy every time. I couldn’t ask for a better service. Muna is by far my favorite esthetician. I highly recommend her and the salon for any and all services.

$ 22 Brazilian using a Groupon and I know I’ll definitely be going back. My esthetician’s name started with an R and she was so friendly. Gave me time to undress before coming in. Her style was different from what I’m used to — she put wax on the area and then took it off in small pieces. It helped a lot with the pain! She also told me she would be using hard wax in some areas because it’s less painful. Anything for less pain! She was thorough and put me at ease during a process that’s usually very uncomfortable.
I’ll try their eyebrow service next and let you guys know!

I found this place on groupon for a brazilian wax for $ 22 and I was really pleased with the service I received. I have been going to high end salons for brazilian waxing (bliss spa, mario triccoci) and have paid at least $ 60 if not more each time at those places, however this place I was able to get just as good of a service for three times less of the money.
Both time I had Ritu as my technician; she was efficient and fast, and did a great job both times… I was a bit nervous the first time particularly because they use regular wax for most parts and hard wax for the sensitive parts but it was not bad at all…
And they gave me a coupon for future service!

A+ experience for eyebrow threading and henna tattoo!
This is my second time getting my eyebrows threaded here. I’m very pleased! I don’t have much for eyebrows but there are a lot of small hairs that are trying to break free of the area they should be in. I just walked in at 2:30ish on a Saturday and was taken in right away. I’m not sure who did the threading but it was quick, painless, and top notch. I now have perfectly symmetrical eyebrows with a lovely arch to them.
This is my first time getting a henna tattoo. She asked if I had a design in mind. I only said, «I’d like a lotus flower on my upper back. Your are the artist, what you do is good for me.» She laughed. It took all of 5 minutes and is gorgeous! I’ll definitely come back and get another; perhaps bring in a photo of a design. I have full confidence the woman who did it can easily copy anything you bring her.
