Sophisticutz

I have had better experience, for basic facial hair cleanup it was $ 20/​-​which i think is steep for suburban standard. Inquired if there was restroom, was told to go next door. seriously?

I was here last week for eyebrow threading. When I entered the lady in the place was on video chat over phone. As I went inside she asked me what I wanna do there and continued to chat with her. They were speaking in their native language but what I understood from their conversation was, as the lady on the other side asked her to disconnected the call if she is busy with the customer, but the lady in place said that is OK to TALK now WHILE STARTED DOING THREADING FOR ME. What I ended up getting is VERY UNEVEN SHAPELESS EYEBROWS. I also STARTED GETTING MORE PIMPLES IN AREA AROUND MY EYEBROWS WHERE SHE DID THREADING FOR ME. She was so CONCENTRATING ON THE PHONE CHAT. NEVER WORTH THE AMOUNT YOU PAY!!!

THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE. I came in with my little sister for a haircut and told them MULTIPLE times how I want it because it was uneven, and it came out STILL UNEVEN. They literally didn’t do anything besides cut like an inch off when I specifically asked for a HAIRCUT and NOT a trim. I wish I could’ve just walked out of there but instead I wasted every single dollar on this terrible service. Places like this are the reason why I do NOT trust many hair salons.

Very relaxing place! Their facials are amazing! And decent priced! The staff itself is very nice and takes good care of you when you come in!

If I had a choice of would give zero star. I always get my eyebrows with lobe but the owner I guess told me she doesn’t work any more so I went ahead did with her and she screwed big time. My eyebrows are not in same level and she made it too thin which will take months to recover and worst is I am going on vacation tomorrow and this is going to suck. Plus wedding after three weeks which means am stuck with this eyebrow on all these occasion

Just got my eyebrows done for a great price (6 dollars). She did a great job and I would highly recommend this place to others.

My sister who asks for Lubie (sp?) says is amazing. I have gotten Lubie’s mom before, and clearly she taught Lubie all she knows, bc she was just as great. Haha
Aside from the pain, which they cannot really help, this places gets 5 stars. But don’t forget your cash! It’s cash only, otherwise a 10 dollar min on CC.
Happy Threading!

I love coming to this place not only am I greeted by everyone there, they remember my name and treat me like a dear friend! The wait has never been more than 5 minutes and they do a fantastic job on my eyebrows! I’m huge baby when it comes to threading and lubna does a great job talking and distracting me! I highly recommended anyone to come to this place! They also do henna I’ve seen it on a lot of my friends it looks awesome and extremely detailed! Overall this place is a favorite of mine!

Been to this place two times. Horrible experience. One woman is soo rude, doesn’t even respect the customer. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Sana luanba is the best at threading. GO TO HER!

$ 10 for threading my upper lips and eyebrows! Great deal. I, however, am very used to paying $ 6 for both, upper lips and eyebrows when I used to live in Bartlett. So ten bucks wasn’t a huge blow though.
The place is clean, so I like it. The job is done quickly! I wouldn’t tip the beauticians because they’re not really paying attention to what they’re doing. I’ve always had them yapping away with someone else, not concentrating on their job. I sometimes end up with a few missed spots. Hence, when the hair grows back, it looks pretty weird sometimes.
Overall a good place. Decent prices. I just wished they were more personable.

$ 6.00 to get your eyebrows threaded? Um yes please! And they do a great job. Love this place and highly recommend it. The young lady at the front desk does a great job and is very nice :)

Now that I’ve settled on Threading for my brow maintenance of choice, I’ve come to have a few favorite places that I frequent on a regular basis, based on where I am and the errands I have to run.
So, when I’m in the Lombard/​Villa Park Area, Sophisticutz it is! Each time I’ve come in, they either take me right away or there’s a short wait. Mid to late afternoon is their busiest time so just make sure you’re clear to them as to how thin you want your brows as they can start working too fast to get to the waiting crowd.
Service is always friendly. Their work is clean and produces well shaped and symmetrical brows. They always make sure I’m satisfied with their work before they let me out of their chair. Brow maintenance at reasonable (cheap!) prices. I’ve been going here for 2 years, prices remain the same.

Omg do not go here!!! My left eyebrow has a HUGE chunk missing from where it should start. It is like i have ¾ of an eyebrow. It is also half as thick as the right eyebrow. My face just doesn’t even look right, and it’s all because this young college girl was too busy talking to her friend when she should have been paying attention to my brows. And this is not the first time this place has messed up my brows. I’ve been here a few times because it’s cheap and fast and conveniently located on my way home from work. I donor know why I keep going back. Eyebrows are a major feature on your face. When they get messed up, you look messed up. I recommend spending $ 2 more and going to a place that knows what they are doing and doesn’t socialize while taking care of you. Now I have to go to a makeup artist tomorrow to figure out how to temporarily fix the one brow until it grows back. It better grow back

Went here a couple of times because it’s on my way home from work. The place is spacious and fairly clean. The workers are friendly.
For eyebrows it is $ 5 with upper lip it’s $ 10. They do a decent job. The few times I’ve been here I left not completely satisfied because the 2 different girls that did my eyebrows left some hair. It’s hard to spot so I can see how they miss it, but it’s never busy so they don’t have to rush. I rather it take 15 minutes for my eyebrows to be clean versus 5 minutes for it to be a half done job.
I’ll give it another try with a different worker. It seems like there are certain employees who does it better than others.

I went here for eyebrow threading and this place is great and cheap to boot! I would definitely recommend this to friends and family and I will definitely be going back! I much prefer threading to waxing too, and I was in and out in less than 5 minutes.
It is in a strip mall that isn’t very easy on the eyes on the outside, but DO NOT let that distract you from coming in!

This place is awesome at threading. It is cheaper than any of the other salons in the area and the staff is friendly. The exterior is not appealing but don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Its very cleanly. There is usually no wait and the prices are reasonable.

This place is great for threading. I’ve been going there for a few years and Lubi is the girl who takes care of me. I’ve also sent a few friends and family and they loved it too. It does hurt more during certain times of the month for girls, but for the most part it’s not so bad… and definitely worth the $ 6 you pay for it.
They take cc payment only over a certain amount and I believe it’s $ 10.

I drove to Sophisticutz during my lunch hour to give eyebrow and lip threading a try for the first time. IIt’s a small salon located in a strip mall along the north side of Roosevelt Road near Main Street, Lombard.
My wait ended up being about fifteen minutes since there were two ladies in front of me in line. The rest of the salon was empty, so walking in mid-​day is a fine idea for someone on a tight schedule.
For those if you new to threading, here’s how I would describe the procedure:
1) for brows, you hold down your upper lid with your hand so it’s taut.
2) The staff person quickly passes a length of twisted string over the surface of the skin, catching the hairs in the twists so that the hair is pulled out at the root. Multiple hairs can be gathered at once, and the process is fairly quick (my eyebrows and lip took about 7 minutes).
3) For the upper lip, you stick your tongue up against your lip from the inside so the skin is more taut. the same threading procedure continues.
4) You admire the work in the mirror, make comments, and then apply soothing gel. Voila!
As for pain, I admit that it hurt. I could bear it, though, and it’s no worse than waxing. However, even though the girl who threaded me was very fast and great at her job, it takes a bit longer than waxing since only a few hairs are pulled at a time. This means you have to sit tight for a couple minutes instead of feeling a sudden ripping during a wax.
So why thread instead of wax? For me, I’d choose it because I love the shape it gives my eyebrows. It looks more natural. Also, there is no residue from the wax to clean up. When I waxed (my lip especially), my skin would sting for at least a day or more afterwards and be very sensitive. Threading doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin at all.
Threading is an easy procedure that takes mere minutes and is very affordable ($ 6 eyebrows, $ 4 lip). You must spend $ 10 before using a credit card.
I’ll definitely be going back to Sophisticutz.

If I could give negative stars I would, this place is horrible !! I just moved to the area and found them near by so I decided to stop in. I asked the girl up front for WAXING my eyebrows, and she was playing on her phone and told some other girl who didn’t speak English to help me. That non English speaking girl then proceeded to thread me. I asked her a few times to wax instead but she didn’t. Then I yelled it and so then the other lady told her to wax and then she started to wax and poorer hot wax ALL OVER MY EYE AND EYE LASHES !!! My eye was stuck shut and burning !! Then she started to try to tread again !! She didn’t do hardly anything to my eye brows and I started crying and wiping my eye that was burning and they didn’t even care, just made some dumb excuse that they always wax and then thread and I was confused. The non English speaking girl then tried to pour Moroccan oil all over my eye which i am ALLERGIC to which they didn’t ask if I wanted and it was a crazy mess. I was furious ! No one apologized and then they tried to charge me !!! They didn’t even finish my eye brows !! They spent the whole time damaging my eye !! I had to go to quick care because I was in pain and having an allergic reaction !! Not to mention when they charged me I actually DID try to pay and the young girl at the register on her phone was like «oh we can’t take cards unless it’s ten dollars or more «and I looked at her and said «then I can’t pay ! No one mentioned that when I came in «and she gave me attitude and said «ugh whatever it’s fine then leave «like as if IM the jerk here because I got HOT WAX IN MY OWN EYE !! This place is a joke and should be shut down. Not to mention it looks like crap inside. Like a dump ! Beware !!
