Riya Threading Lounge

I’ve been going to Riya’s for several months now and absolutely love it! The store is super clean and well kept. My skin is pretty sensitive & Riya has so accommodating with threading my eyebrows and waxing my upper lip. I tried to thread my upper lip the first time, but didn’t react well to it. The second time I went she waxed my upper lip & have been doing that since. I would highly recommend going Riya’s Threading Lounge if you’re looking for a new spot.

A new customer at Riya’s and I will definitely be coming back! Lots of other threading places will leave you with super thin brows, but not here. She advises you on what shape and maintenance works best for you. The process is less painful and is very thorough at the same time. Can’t wait for my next visit!

Amazing!!! My eyebrows haven’t looked this good in years. She even has a play area for little ones. I drive 20 minutes out of my way just for her. So glad I found this place.

Eyebrow goddess!!! I grew my eyebrows out for almost a year before i let anyone touch them and Riya did not let me down. They were sculpted perfectly while still left as thick as possible. I highly recommend to anyone.

Riya’s is the absolute best. Prior to going to her studio, I’ve always been very nervous about my eyebrows and who does them. Due to the great reviews, I decided to give her a try. She is a one woman studio, and no matter how busy she may get with walk-​ins, she will always accommodate you. There have been times where she waited on me 45 minutes after closing because I got off of work late, and she worked around my schedule. Best place, hands down.

Let’s start with the fact that I’m Persian and no stranger to threading… so it means a lot to me when my threading is done properly, and Julie does an AMAZING job. Her years of experience have brought her to a point where she’s able to be very gentle without compromising the actual threading, still getting everything while leaving even the most sensitive skin happy!
In all honesty, she could really charge much more for her services. I’ve been impressed after every single visit. ON TOP of all that, she’s such a sweetheart. Thank you Julie! :)

This review is long overdue. I am very picky about my eyebrows and have been commuting to Devon since I moved to Chicago.
I visited Riya a couple of months ago and have found my new threading place. Pricing is reasonable and they do a fantastic job. Give them a try! You will not be disappointed.

Great service with excellent quality and at reasonable prices!

So it’s been just about 1 week since my threading… and I’m getting a lot of little hairs. Usually I can go a full week or two without any growth, and whatever growth there is is thin and sparse. This time, I have lots of prickly little hairs growing on both my eyebrows and upper lip! It’s as if the hairs weren’t pulled at the root and were just broken off right at the skin surface. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be returning :(

I searched on Unilocal where to go get my eyebrows threaded. It was my first time going to Riya and I’m glad I stopped by.
The threading was quick and painless, and I’m very sensitive! In regards to price, it was definitely more than usual but I was willing to pay that extra few dollars to see if the reviews matched the service (and it did). I was later told that I only need to pay 10 $ for the eyebrows because upper lip was free! Definitely worth it!
Would recommend!

Quick, easy and painless. The salon is bright and clean. Julie did a great job — this will definitely be my new go-​to place.

I don’t know what took me so long to right this review. I’ve coming to see Julie faithfully since June and I’m a girl that’s huge about her eyebrows, so she must be good! She gives a very natural and meticulous eyebrow shape. She’s sweet and yes, she has the softest hands! Clean and very reasonable prices, I hope she never leaves! I was looking for someone closer to me (not Devon) and I didn’t go wrong with Julie (Riya). Check her out!

Julie did a great job on my eyebrows. I’ve been getting them threaded for at least six years and I have never had a painless experience until now. Thank you, Julie for a job very well done and appreciated!!!

Just a wonderful lovely clean little spot with the sweetest gentlest eyebrow expert in Julie. Walked in off the street and will be back many many times.
I promise. First time being ‘threaded’ and she was amazing. What a gem!

I stopped in after a pedicure at my favorite nail spot looking to get my eyebrows threaded. I was still working through some PTSD from my last threading at a new salon (I ended up with crooked brows that even liner couldn’t conceal), so I was really hesitant to try a new place.
Julie, the owner, greeted us warmly when we walked in. When she quoted me $ 10 for brows, I declined because my usual place does them for $ 7, but she offered to do my upper lip at no charge. How could I turn that down?! She did an amazing job on both my brows and lip, much to my relief considering my last bad experience.
I will definitely be coming back here for my brows and other services she offers, which are very competitively priced.

Happened to be visiting Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago when my daughter stated she has been looking for a place to get her eyebrows done, but no one seems to get it «right «in Long Island, NY. Personally I disagree, I love my eyebrow lady but that’s a whole different Unilocal review. So after driving around looking for parking for like 25 min, we both noticed there were quite a few eyebrow threading locations in the area, so we decided to go to my reliable Unilocalers for the «go to spot» to see if Chicago could get it «right » We ended up at Riya’s Threading Lounge which was like 5 min from the Zoo, and based on the wonderful pictures my fellow Unilocalers posted my daughter walked in excited rather than nervous about Riya’s attempt to get the eyebrow arches even. We walked in no wait as we were the only ones there. (Tuesday afternoon about 2pm) Riya’s explained what she was going to do how she was going to reshape and wala! Great… now apparently the only place to get it «right» is in Chicago! It’s been like 2 hours and all I’ve heard is «Mom, just look at them aren’t they perfect!» It’s going to be a long flight home :)
Thanks guys! I

I was in such a rush trying to find a place that would be able to do a bunch of treatment because I was about to leave for vacation. I walked in here about 8 minutes before closing time in panic and she was kind enough to take me! She did a wonderful and fast job with my eyebrows, upper-​lip, chin, underarms and bikini line!
The threading of my upper lip, which I almost always refuse to do because of the pain was almost painless by her! I highly recommend this place. It also has an amazing and clean ambiance!

I am crazy about my eyebrows, and I only get them threaded.
I have gone all over the city trying to find someone who does a great job, but is also very clean.
Julie was very welcoming, and has very soft hands. The experience was nearly painless, and she did a wonderful job. I ALWAYS stress that my eyebrows be left thick, and she got it just right!
She has found a new loyal customer.
Thank you… my eyebrows are now «on fleek» ;)

Stopped in today for the first time and LOVED it!!! It’s been awhile since I had gotten my face threaded and she keeps you occupied by keeping a conversation with you. Then after she’s done, she gives your face a massage, felt AMAZING! It’s an affordable price, walk ins welcome, and cozy lounge. Will defiantly be coming back and making this my go to spot

Absolutely wonderful. Julie is always welcoming and her salon is very clean. She just opened this salon on Lincoln Park, so it’s fairly new.
I usually call before I come in, but the last two times I’ve just been walking by on my way home and she puts me right in. It’s $ 10 for eyebrows and upperlip — super affordable.
She gives a wonderful head massage with lotion at the end and it’s so relaxing. I live 5 minutes away so this spot is definitely turning into a regular!
