JJ Waxing

Great place! Its clean, right by office and you are in and out in no time! A lot of estheticians want to have small talk and sometimes it gets uncomfortable because for GOD SAKES they are talking to your vagina and not you!!! So JJ waxing made it quick just like i like it and didn’t bother me with the unnecessary small talk.
If you want quick and efficient waxing, stop here!

Love Melissa! I have followed her to a few salons now and JJ waxing is my favorite one — super professional, clean, easy street parking and they do the best threading! I moved out of town and still make a special trip here whenever I am back.

Esther has changed my eyebrow life! Great and consistent service, clean and the prices are so reasonable.

A super small waxing place, so small that when I visited, there was only one person working. She was in middle of another wax when I arrived on time for my appointment. I waited a while, and then we started the consultation. In the middle of the consultation, she asked me a question, and then before I could answer, she went to bid goodbye to the previous customer. She came back and immediately started waxing before we finished the consultation and before I could tell her what I wanted. Instead of drawing out the wax lines like my regular wax-​folks, she wax with abandon and then got mad when I asked her to make the wax thinner to my preference. I ended with slightly asymmetrical brows, and probably won’t come back.

Go to Esther for your eyebrow tinting and threading. Period. I stopped going to Benefit after I found JJ and I am VERY picky about my brows! Love this place — easy and efficient.

I went to JJ waxing first time yesterday for a Chest and Stomach wax. I was impressed by the great reviews on Unilocal and they came to be true. Esther is great with waxing and she knows it well. I was very concerned of the pain while waxing as this was my second time. Chest waxing is painful as there is soft skin around the stomach, but Esther made it less painful. She was also very quick so the whole pain experience was over in a few minutes.
The cost is lower than other well rated places on Unilocal.She was very flexible with the appointment. I got the time on the same day and when I called to delay it by a few minutes, Esther accomodated me. The place is also very clean and fresh. Overall I had a great experience and would definitely go back in a couple of months.

My Brazilians are always great and super quick. They do everything a good beauty technician is supposed to do: trim, sanitize, healing creams, plucking.

Went to this place today for my first time waxing ever. I was absolutely mortified going in, but was really happy leaving! Melissa was the lovely lady who helped me out, she was super quick and efficient. She also talked to me and asked me questions to distract me from the pain. She was awesome! Highly suggest this place. Good pricing too :) !!!

I have been to so many threading establishments from northern burbs to western burbs to city. JJ Waxing is by far the «BEST»!!! Awesome customer service! The new system they have in place allows you to request the time & person you want to be seen by! Melissa is by far the BEST around. She is my go to person! You have a loyal customer for LIFE!

I like the place but there is one employee, I think her name is Nicole who is a huge sourpuss with an even bigger attitude problem. She looks at you like you’re stupid and she has no sense of what customer service is. When asked why I wasn’t notified about my appointment canceling I got I don’t know you have to request a person when you set an appointment online. I DID THAT. The person called in sick but I’m still getting texts and emails about making my appointment on time today. She offered no help or reasoning and gave me a dirty look while she told me to take it up with the owner. I love the service and other Employees but if they keep hiring people like her you’ll lose a lot of business. She was completely rude.

This review is for the Full Brazilian waxing.
I haven’t been to JJ Waxing for the last two to three years because I live in the northern suburbs, but my return has left me happy as always with the service. I don’t know if everyone knows, but JJ Waxing is having a summer special promotion until July 3^rd: 20% off all services. My $ 40 Full Brazilian wax ended up being just $ 32, can’t beat that!
Here’s a new thing about their business: you can now book your appointment online. When you click the BOOK NOW ²⁴⁄₇ button, it’ll take you to a screen with three tabs: Services, book 24/​7, and gift certificates. If you click, book 24/​7, it’ll ask in drop-​down lists what services you want done, preference in esthetician or service provider, and which dates work for you. I’m not sure how far the dates go, but I just checked if they had any open availabilities for next Friday, and they do. However, you need to sign up for an account through the online booking service to confirm the appointment. You can always call to see if they have any other time slots are available that are not listed on the booking service.
As per my last review in 2013, Esther is my go-​to esthetician. She’s simply the best and she’s quick and efficient. She is just the sweetest lady and she hasn’t changed a bit since the last time I was here. She keeps a conversation with you, so the ambience doesn’t become awkward (I mean you are spending some quality time with an esthetician to deal with the lady business). I booked my appointment online today for a Full Brazilian at 3:30PM and I finished at 3:45PM.
JJ Waxing is my go-​to for Brazilian waxes because even without promotions, you cannot beat the prices compared to most businesses.

Today was my first time at JJ Waxing and I did a men’s eyebrow wax. Esther was very welcoming. She works meticulously but in a reasonable amount of time. I was a little concerned with the lack of communication during the process but my eyebrows turned out great. Esther is professional and shows that she knows what she is doing. I will definitely be coming back.

I am obsessed of this place because of my sister! I have been a loyal customer for about 2 years now and this place has been on point since day one when I was a skeptical customer. Usually I just call, but recently I noticed you can make a reservation online through Unilocal,so I decided to give it a shot for my most recent appointment. Easy breezy.
I go here strictly for the bikini wax, so I can’t vouch for the other services, but the staff is very professional and friendly. The place is very clean, and I watch them so I know they do NOT double dip which is very reassuring especially if you are getting a bikini wax.
Overall love this place and definitely worth the trip. If I could leave a tip about going here especially for those that are new and still skeptical, I would say to try to go during their down time because I find the staff is more attentive and they don’t rush and do a sloppy job.

I have been going to one salon exclusively for waxing since I moved to Chicago and decided to give JJs a try after walking by several times. I will definitely be coming back!
The atmosphere is not super fancy– basic equipment for the work that they do with a few deco pieces here and there. You have to ring a bell to get into the front door where you are then greeted by whoever is at the front desk and led to a room.
The rooms do not have walls that reach the ceiling and you are able to hear what is going on in the room next to you. After I was led to my room, I was left alone with no instructions to undress and had no idea when my waxer would be back– but luckily I knew what I was doing. A few minutes later, she yelled from the front desk to ask if I was ready and entered the room when I was. The wax was quick and professional without much side chatter.
Overall, they do exactly the job you need done for a great price. I would not recommend JJs to anyone who is getting a bikini or Brazilian for the first time since the service leaves you scratching your head a bit and they were not clear on what they needed from me as a client. It does not provide a high-​class, spa environment but if you want to get in and out for a great, quick wax-​JJs is the place to go!

These guys are awesome! The staff is friendly, and their service is excellent. Each time I’ve called or been a walk-​in, they’ve been incredibly accommodating. I drive out of my way to come to them, because I trust their work. They know their clients well, and I appreciate the service!

Absolutely love this place. I would recommend this place to anyone! I know I can trust her with my eyebrows and that’s a big deal!

Its good, just not great anymore.
She has some new staff and I just feel like they do the minimum to get the job done. I just get my eyebrows threaded and the last time, she scalped me… I didnt know this was possible with threading. I can cover it with coverup, but not the point.
Also, I feel like she kind of skirted around the outsides and I still have some stray hairs out there. I can never see when I am there. I guess I should just ask them to do the side area again.
Its cheap as heck and she does a great job… some of the staff is better than others.

Quick, efficient, and with minimal pain is how I prefer my bikini waxes, and JJ Waxing delivers. I’ve never had to make an appointment and I’m out in 10 – 15 minutes, easily. They’re also very inexpensive — big plus. As long as I live in the ‘hood, JJ will be my go-​to.

Ester and Melissa are threading/​waxing geniuses and I wouldn’t trust my eyebrows with anyone else!
If you’re looking for value and quality (eyebrow waxes are only $ 12!), then look no further… this place is awesome.

Didn’t make a reservation but the lady accepted my walk in. I only had to wait ten minutes for one person ahead of me getting a side wax. $ 12 for an eyebrow wax. She also threaded, plucked, and trimmed at no additional cost. She was very nice and professional. Cheap prices but excellent results.
They offer face, arms, legs, and bikini waxing available. Also have services available to men.
